Women empowerment programmes in Tanzania
Women economic empowerment in Tanzania is vital as more than 50.56% of the population is made of women who are responsible for daily food security and other social economic activities.
It is critical to empower women economically for national economy to grow at a desired pace. Women are often deprived of means of production and this leads to a generalised development issue for the whole country.
Different development actors have taken cognizance of this issue and have set up empowerment programmes.
