UN Tanzania launches Youth Masterclass Series to strengthen youth engagement
Dar es Salaam, 28 August 2026 – The United Nations in Tanzania has launched the UN Youth Masterclass Series, a new platform connecting young people with practical knowledge, skills and expertise from across the UN system.The inaugural masterclass brought together 50 young people selected from nearly 500 applicants. Participants were selected based on their motivation and areas of interest, with attention to gender representation.Powered by UNESCO Dar es Salaam, the first session focused on media and information literacy, artificial intelligence and responsible digital participation. It was held at the UN House in Dar es Salaam.Participants explored how rapid changes in communication technologies and artificial intelligence are shaping the way people access, create and share information. Maxence Melo, CEO and Founder of JamiiAfrica and JamiiForums, led discussions on the evolution of communication technologies and the growing influence of artificial intelligence. Participants examined misinformation, fact-checking and online safety, including practical ways to verify information before sharing it. The discussions went beyond online risks, highlighting the opportunities digital platforms can offer young people. Participants explored how they can use these platforms to access education, employment, internships, scholarships, business opportunities and professional networks.For many participants, the session offered both practical knowledge and an opportunity to reflect on their own role in creating safer and more constructive digital spaces.“The sessions have given me new knowledge and perspectives on media and information literacy, AI and responsible digital participation. I am truly grateful for this opportunity.” Radhia Deus, participantAnother participant reflected on the responsibility that comes with being an informed digital citizen: “What am I doing with the knowledge I have to make the digital space better for others?”Through Her Lens Africa highlighted the value of connecting the discussions with practical work:“The Masterclass brought together young people to learn, share ideas and understand how we can use media and digital platforms in a more responsible way. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn, connect with other young people and take these lessons into my work through storytelling and visual media.”Participants also shared lessons from the masterclass on their social media platforms, extending the conversation to their wider networks and communities.Promoting safer and more inclusive digital spacesThe masterclass addressed online and technology-facilitated violence, including risks faced by young women and girls.The discussions contributed to wider efforts under Tanzania’s National Plan of Action to End Violence Against Women and Children II to promote safer and more inclusive spaces, including online.Hamisa Mobetto participated in the session and committed to supporting UNESCO’s campaign for safer and more inclusive digital spaces, particularly for young women and girls. One platform, expertise from across the UN systemThe UN Youth Masterclass Series will provide a common platform for UN agencies, funds and programmes in Tanzania to engage directly with young people on issues related to their mandates and areas of expertise.Each masterclass will be powered by one or more UN entities. UNESCO Dar es Salaam led the inaugural session, drawing on its expertise in media and information literacy, digital citizenship and online safety.Future sessions will bring expertise from other UN agencies, funds and programmes and will focus on issues relevant to young people in Tanzania.By working through a coordinated platform, UN entities can combine technical expertise, partnerships, outreach networks and resources while giving young people a clear and consistent channel through which to learn from and engage with the United Nations. The strong response to the inaugural masterclass, with nearly 500 applications for 50 places demonstrated the level of interest among young people in opportunities to learn directly from experts, exchange perspectives and build practical skills.Through the UN Youth Masterclass Series, the United Nations in Tanzania will continue to create opportunities for young people to learn, connect and contribute, while placing their experiences, questions and priorities at the centre of its engagement.

Tanzania and partners review progress on digital agriculture initiative
The Government of Tanzania, the United Nations and partners met today to review progress and discuss next steps under the Joint Programme on Data for Digital Agricultural Transformation. The programme is supported by the Joint SDG Fund and led by the Government in collaboration with UNCDF, FAO and IFAD under the leadership of the UN Resident Coordinator.The meeting brought together a broad range of institutions from across government, the United Nations and the European Union. In addition to the Ministry of Agriculture, participants included representatives from the Personal Data Protection Commission, the e-Government Authority, the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority, the Ministry of Information, Communication and Information Technology, PO-RALG and the Sugar Board of Tanzania. United Nations participants included representatives from UNCDF, IFAD, FAO, UNDP, WFP and the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office, alongside senior representatives from the European Union Delegation and the EU Twinning Programme.Discussions focused on the importance of improving how agricultural data is governed, shared and used across the sector. This is an important part of building systems that can support better decision-making and, over time, help digital services respond more effectively to the needs of smallholder farmers, especially women and youth."Vision 2050 and FYDP IV place digital transformation and data-driven governance at the centre of Tanzania’s development path. This can help turn national priorities into better agricultural services, higher productivity and more inclusive economic opportunities.”— Ms Susan Namondo, UN Resident Coordinator The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Gerald Mweli, emphasized that, "The Government of Tanzania places strong emphasis on strengthening agricultural data governance, improving coordination of digital initiatives, and ensuring that digital innovations effectively reach smallholder farmers who form the backbone of our agricultural sector. We therefore expect this programme to contribute to strengthening national platforms such as the farmer registry, digital advisory services, and data-driven planning mechanisms that will improve efficiency and transparency across the agricultural value chain."The meeting also highlighted the close alignment between the Joint Programme and the European Union’s broader priorities. Ms. Dorota Panczyk-Piqueray, Acting Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation, noted that agriculture and digital transformation are central to the EU’s Global Gateway initiative, including efforts to strengthen supply chains and logistics and expand opportunities for smallholder farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises.Participants also reviewed ongoing work to strengthen the building blocks for better data governance and coordination in the agriculture sector, including support for systems and processes that can improve the quality, use and sharing of agricultural data over time.The meeting provided an opportunity for partners to review progress and discuss priorities for the next phase of implementation. About the Joint SDG FundAll joint programmes of the Joint SDG Fund are led by UN Resident Coordinators and implemented by the agencies, funds and programmes of the United Nations development system.

From classrooms to digital spaces: Young Tanzanians promote peace
More than 400 young people gathered in Arusha to mark the International Day of Peace, concluding a series of activities that engaged youth in schools, communities and online in promoting peace and social cohesion. Under the national theme, “Digital Voices for Peace: Empowering Youth as Champions of Stability and Resilience,” the commemoration focused on young people’s contributions to peacebuilding through digital content, dialogue and community participation.Ahead of the ceremony, young members of Scout Tanzania presented a peace dove to the Guest of Honour, Joel Arthur Nanauka, Minister in the President’s Office responsible for Youth Development. The dove, which had accompanied participants in a peace walkathon two days earlier, was handed over as a symbolic declaration of International Day of Peace 2026. United Nations Resident Coordinator Susan Ngongi Namondo joined the commemoration, alongside Arumeru District Commissioner Mwinyi Ahmed Mwinyi, who represented the Arusha Regional Commissioner. Engaging young people in schools and digital spacesThe activities were coordinated by the National IDP Joint Task Force, co-chaired by the United Nations Information Centre, on behalf of the UN, and Global Peace Foundation Tanzania.Beginning in August, educational outreach reached more than 2,000 young people in schools across Dar es Salaam, Coast, Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions. Discussions addressed peacebuilding, social cohesion, misinformation and harmful speech, bringing these issues into settings where young people learn and interact every day. In early September, the Joint Task Force convened a Digital Peace workshop in Dar es Salaam. Young content creators explored how to produce content that supports peacebuilding, counters harmful narratives and contributes to more inclusive digital spaces. These activities continued in Arusha on 19 September, when a peace walkathon brought young people together to share peace messages and encourage public participation in promoting peace. Tree planting also formed part of the activities ahead of the national commemoration. Strengthening youth participation in peacebuildingTwo youth dialogues at the 21 September gathering provided opportunities to exchange experiences and discuss young people’s role in building peaceful communities.The first engaged young content creators and digital influencers on using their platforms to encourage responsible dialogue and counter misinformation. The second focused on meaningful youth participation in peacebuilding, connecting community experiences with discussions about young people’s involvement in decisions that affect their lives.With support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), young people participating in the Dumisha Amani project joined the commemoration from six regions: Mwanza, Geita, Ruvuma (Songea), Kigoma, Mbeya and Songwe. Their participation brought experiences from local peacebuilding efforts into the national dialogue. Partnerships supporting youth engagementThe commemoration and preceding activities brought together government, the United Nations, youth organizations, civil society and private sector partners. Alongside the Joint Task Force’s co-chairs, partners included UNDP, the United Nations Association (UNA), the Youth of United Nations Association (YUNA), the Jane Goodall Institute and UN SACCOS. In-kind contributions from Geita Gold Mine, MSI Tanzania, African Scenic and Masailand Safari Lodge helped make the activities possible and supported young people’s participation.From school outreach to digital content creation and community dialogue, the activities highlighted practical ways for young people to contribute to peace. They also underscored the importance of sustained opportunities for youth to participate in peacebuilding within their communities and beyond the annual commemoration.

Youth and Digital Innovation Take Centre Stage in Tanzania’s Agricultural Transformation
The United Nations, the European Union and partners came together at Innovation Week Tanzania recently for a session on how young people and digital technology can transform the country's agriculture — and to open the call for applications to the Agritech4Tanzania Accelerator, a programme that supports Tanzanian agri-tech and fintech companies to build and scale digital tools that help smallholder farmers access finance, markets, inputs and advice.Co-created with Kilimo-Organic Solutions (KIOSO) under the theme "Youth Making the Big Bet in Agribusiness," the session at drew founders, government officials and young innovators to explore ideas on rebranding farming as agribusiness and on the knowledge, finance and technology that make it possible. Opening the session, Ms. Susan Ngongi Namondo, UN Resident Coordinator in Tanzania, recognized the importance of placing agriculture at the heart of Tanzania's development ambitions. "Agriculture isn't just one sector among many — it's where most Tanzanians earn their living. That's precisely why growth here counts more: when agriculture grows, it has the potential to impact far more people than most other sectors," she said, linking the sector's promise directly to inclusive growth and Tanzania Development Vision 2050. For the European Union — a key funder of the Agritech4Tanzania Accelerator through the Joint SDG Fund — the message was about the power of connected data. "Agricultural data in Tanzania has historically been scattered — different platforms, different institutions, no common standards," said Mr. Jose-Luis Gonzalez representing the EU Delegation to Tanzania. "It's about treating data as a strategic asset, not an afterthought." That vision sits at the core of the Data for Digital Agricultural Transformation (D4DAT) Joint Programme, which is helping the Government build the data foundations — from governance frameworks to farmer registries — that let digital services reach smallholder farmers. The Agritech4Tanzania Accelerator turns that vision into practical support for the companies building those tools. Selected agri-techs that successfully apply to the accelerator receive expert coaching and training, links to investors, and grant funding for the strongest teams — with women and youth-led companies especially encouraged to apply.Applications are now open, with a deadline of 30 September.The Agritech4Tanzania Accelerator is being implemented by the Government and the UN in partnership with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT with support from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and is managed by DLab.

Behind the two drops: The people making every polio vaccination count
For a mother watching her child receive two drops of polio vaccine, the moment takes only a few seconds. But behind those two drops is a much bigger effort: health authorities planning the campaign, community leaders mobilising families, community health workers moving from household to household, vaccinators delivering the vaccine, data teams tracking progress, supervisors responding to gaps. During Tanzania’s polio vaccination campaign, these people form a chain of effort that begins long before the vaccinator reaches a household. It starts with planning and leadership Long before vaccination teams enter communities, government officials including national, regional and district health authorities working closely with partners, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, UNICEF, and WHO, organise teams, supplies, community mobilisation and monitoring to ensure children can be reached, including those in hard-to-reach areas. For Dr. Andrew Method, Regional Medical Officer for Manyara Region, successful vaccination starts with preparation. “As we make sure that people of Manyara have access to quality healthcare, we have a campaign aimed at protecting children against polio. For us to achieve this, a successful vaccination campaign needs to start with preparation. We need to know where the children are, where our teams need to go and what support they need to reach every community, including difficult-to-reach areas.” But planning alone is not enough. The campaign also depends on the trust and participation of communities. Before the vaccinator knocks Community and religious leaders help connect the campaign with families, sharing information, encouraging caregivers to participate, and addressing questions or concerns. Pastor Amos Z. Nahhato, Elim Pentecostal Church Babati, says trusted local voices can help families understand what to expect. “People listen when information comes through someone they know and trust. We help explain when the vaccination teams will come and why it is important for parents to make their children available.” With communities informed, the work moves to the doorstep. Going from household to household For community health workers, reaching children means going beyond the health facility and into the places where families live. Agnes Frednand Njaiko moves from household to household, identifying eligible children, speaking with caregivers and helping ensure that no child is missed. “Our work is not just to knock on the door. We have to explain to the caregiver why the vaccine is important; answer their questions and make sure we find every eligible child.” Sometimes that means returning to a household when a child is absent. “Sometimes you arrive and the child is not there, so you have to come back. You cannot just say we did not find the child and move on.” When the vaccinator arrivesAt the household, the campaign becomes visible. The vaccinator confirms the child, administers the vaccine and records the vaccination before moving to the next household. For Ester Njidile, the two drops are only one part of the responsibility. “Giving the two drops takes only a few seconds, but we have to make sure we have reached the right child, given the vaccine correctly and recorded the information before moving to the next household.” And then the team moves on. Turning information into action While vaccinators are moving through communities, the data management team is working behind the scenes. Information collected in the field helps show where teams have worked, how many children have been reached and where gaps may remain. The data team checks and compiles this information so that programme teams can monitor progress and act on emerging gaps. Elizabeth Changendo, Data Manager “The information coming from the field tells us what is happening on the ground. Our role is to make sure that information is complete, accurate and available on time so that teams can act on it.” That information then feeds back to supervisors in the field. Erick Bunziya Peter, a team supervisor, uses the information alongside field observations to identify where teams may need to follow up. “My role is to know where the teams are, what they are finding and whether there are children who have not yet been reached. If there is a problem, we need to address it while the campaign is still ongoing.” When information points to gaps, teams can investigate, return to households and continue the search for children who may have been missed. It is a continuous cycle: reach, record, review, and respond. At the centre of it all: the family For caregivers, the campaign is much simpler: a health worker arrives at their home, explains the purpose of the visit and asks them to make their child available for vaccination Jamila Eddy received the vaccination team at her home in Magugu, Babati. “When they came, I listened to what they explained. I wanted to understand why my child needed the vaccine. I had many questions, and the vaccinator explained them to me. That gave me confidence to let my child receive the drops.” Her experience brings the campaign back to where it matters most: the child. From regional planning and community mobilisation to household visits, vaccination, data and follow-up, each part of the chain contributes to reaching children. More than two drops For a family, the vaccination visit may last only a few minutes. But for the people behind it, reaching that doorstep represents planning, mobilisation, travel, communication, vaccination, data collection, supervision and follow-up. And then the team moves on, to the next household, and the next child. Because behind every two drops is a much bigger effort: a community and health system working together to reach children and strengthen protection against polio. “A successful vaccination campaign depends on strong government leadership and the collective effort of health workers, communities and partners. WHO continues to provide technical support to strengthen the systems that help Tanzania reach children with polio vaccines and use campaign information to identify and address gaps,” said Dr Alex Gasasira, WHO Representative Tanzania

A Narrow Escape from Child Marriage; Embracing a Future in Law.
…..Sylvia’s Journey to Protect Girls’ Right to Education Bugarama, Shinyanga, Tanzania — At 13, Sylvia Buhame faced a future she had not chosen. While she should have been focusing on her education, growing up and dreaming about what she could become, the threat of child marriage put her childhood and aspirations at risk.With support from the Police Gender and Children’s Desk, Sylvia escaped child marriage and continued her education. Now 19, she is pursuing her studies in law at the University of Dodoma, demonstrating the power of protecting girls’ rights and ensuring they have the opportunity to realise their potential.Reflecting on her journey, Sylvia shares a message of hope for other girls who may be facing similar challenges. “I am grateful for the support that helped me continue with my education and pursue my dreams. I believe every girl deserves the opportunity to go to school, make her own choices and build a better future. Today, I want to use my education to make a difference in society and inspire other girls never to give up on their dreams.”Sylvia’s journey highlights the importance of timely intervention, accessible protection services and sustained investment in girls’ education. Her experience underscores a fundamental truth: no girl should have to give up her childhood or her dreams because of child marriage.Protection that opens doors to opportunityFor girls at risk of child marriage, the support of trusted protection services can make a life-changing difference. In Sylvia’s case, the Police Gender and Children’s Desk played an important role in helping her escape the threat of child marriage and continue pursuing her education.Police Gender and Children’s Desks provide an important channel for reporting abuse, responding to Gender Based Violence and connecting girls at risk with appropriate protection services. By strengthening these mechanisms, communities and institutions can help safeguard girls’ rights and keep their futures within reach.Ibrahim Jafari, a police officer, emphasises the importance of protecting girls from gender based violence and harmful practices and ensuring they have the opportunity to pursue their ambitions.“Every girl deserves to grow up in safety, continue her education and make decisions about her own future. When we intervene to protect a girl from child marriage, we are not only protecting her childhood; we are helping preserve her opportunities and potential.”For Sylvia, the intervention helped keep open a path that child marriage could have closed. Her academic progress and pursuit of legal studies represent a future shaped by learning, ambition and opportunity rather than an early marriage she did not choose.Partnerships that protect girls’ rightsThe United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), in partnership with UN Women and with support from the Government of the Republic of Korea through the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), has supported initiatives to strengthen protection and response mechanisms for women and girls affected by gender based violence and harmful practices including earl;y and forced child marriage.The project strengthened the systems by by building the capacity of local institutions, law enforcement, and health service providers across Shinyanga and Singida.This included establishing, equipping, and operationalizing survivor-centered One Stop Centers (OSCs) at health facilities and Police Gender and Children's Desks (PGCDs), alongside training 292 health and social workers and 43 police officers in survivor-centered clinical management and cross-sectoral referral protocols. These efforts contribute to strengthening institutional capacity to respond to gender based violence and harmful practices, improve access to protection services and promote the rights and well-being of women and children.Through collaboration with government institutions and other partners, UNFPA works to advance gender equality, protect the rights of women and girls, and address gender based violence and harmful practices that threaten their safety, dignity and opportunities. Such partnerships are important in ensuring that girls at risk of gender based violence and child marriage can access support and have the opportunity to continue their education. The support of the Government of the Republic of Korea through KOICA demonstrates the importance of international cooperation in strengthening systems that protect vulnerable women and girls. Working together, governments, development partners and communities can help create environments where girls are safe, their rights are respected and their aspirations are encouraged.Sylvia’s story illustrates why these investments matter. Protecting a girl from child marriage is not simply about preventing an early marriage; it is about safeguarding her right to learn, develop her abilities and determine the direction of her own life.A future shaped by her own choicesSylvia’s journey from the threat of child marriage in Bugarama to pursuing legal studies at the University of Dodoma offers hope to other girls who may be facing similar risks. Her story is a reminder that girls should be supported to learn, grow and define their own future and that families, communities and institutions all have a role to play. As the world marks the 2026 International Day of the Girl Child under the theme “End child marriage and invest in girls’ rights!”, Sylvia’s experience reinforces the urgency of protecting every girl’s childhood and investing in her opportunities.UNFPA Executive Director Diene Keita calls on governments, communities and partners to make sustained investments in girls’ rights:“Today, we call on governments, communities and partners to invest, at scale and over time, so that every girl goes to school; every girl receives quality sexual and reproductive healthcare; and every girl enters adulthood empowered as an agent of her own future. Together, let us stand with every girl and make sure her voice is heard, her choices are respected and her rights are upheld, everywhere.”The message is clear that, ending child marriage requires more than commitments. It demands sustained investment in education, quality sexual and reproductive healthcare, effective protection services and community action to challenge the social norms that deny girls their rights.Sylvia’s story is ultimately about the power of protecting a girl’s right to choose. When girls are safe, supported and able to continue their education, their futures remain theirs to shape.Every girl deserves a childhood. Every girl deserves an education. Every girl deserves the right to choose her future.End child marriage and invest in girls’ rights — because every girl deserves the opportunity to shape her own future

9,000 sparks, one flame: inside the week that ignited Tanzania’s trillion-dollar future
For five vibrant days, the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre in Dar es Salaam wasn’t just a building it was a pressure cooker of ambition. More than 9,000 innovators, researchers, government leaders and young dreamers packed the halls for the 12th Innovation Week Tanzania (IWTz). But this wasn’t a standard corporate conference. The air was thick with a shared, urgent realization: Tanzania does not suffer from a shortage of brilliant ideas. The real challenge is building the bridges, securing the capital and shaping the polices that can turn a scribbled sketch in a notebook into a thriving business that employs hundreds of people. With the country aiming to become a US$1 trillion economy by 2050, the stakes have never been higher. Moving From “Spark” to Scale.“A trillion-dollar economy is an ambition not to be taken light,” remarked Shigeki Komatsubara, UNDP Resident Representative, capturing the weight of the moment. For years, Tanzania has celebrated isolated success stories startups that flash brightly and then fade due to a lack of support. This year, the conversation shifted. Leaders like Hon. Prof. Kitila Mkumbo challenged the crowd to view innovation not just as a trendy app or a piece of software, but as a fundamental shift in mindset. True innovation, he urged, is about changing how we farm, how we teach our children and how we deliver public services.To make that shift easier, the week as the launch of the Tanzania Innovation Nexus a digital matchmaker designed to tear down the walls between fragmented startup hubs, instantly connecting lonely innovators with eager investors, mentors and partners across the country. Young Hands on the Steering WheelAt the heart of this movement is Tanzania’s youth. During the energetic “Vijana na Dira 2025” dialogue, more than 700 young people sat face to face with policymakers to claim their stake in the nation’s future.
Hon. Dr. Joel Nanauka, Minister responsible for Youth Development, delivered a refreshing reality check: he urged young Tanzanians to stop waiting to be handed “opportunities” and to start actively manufacturing, innovating and producing. “The country needs more than entrepreneurs. It needs scalable entrepreneurs,” added Joseph Manirakiza, Programme Manager of the FUNGUO Programme. Startups need to do more than survive; they need the fuel to scale up, cross borders and compete globally. The discussion proved that communities facing the hardest challenges like unpredictable rainfall or water scarcity shouldn’t just be treated as passive recipients of help. “They are the creators of the solutions,” insisted Dr. Blandina Kilama of the National Planning Commission. Five Years of Lighting the WayThe energy of the week culminated in a milestone celebration: five years of the UNDP’s FUNGUO Innovation Programme.Since 2021, FUNGUO has been the quiet engine behind Tanzania’s startup boom. It has supported over 100 young businesses, channeled over US$3 million directly to innovators and helped create or sustain more than 10,000 jobs. To cap off the week, the programme unveiled their fifth cohort, putting Tanzanian Shillings 1.3 billion directly into the hands of the next generation of builders. As the convention center doors finally closed, the messahe left behind was clear: Tanzania’s future will not be built on expensive imported tech. It will be built by investing in its people, trusting its youth and giving local ideas the space and the capital to grow.The achievements illustrate the growing momentum of Tanzania's innovation ecosystem and the importance of continued investment in youth-led entrepreneurship and innovation. Looking AheadTanzania possesses the ideas, talent and ambition needed to achieve its development aspirations. The next chapter lies in strengthening the systems that allow innovation to flourish: investing in people, connecting innovators to markets and capital, enabling research commercialization, fostering partnerships and scaling solutions that create lasting impact.Innovation Week Tanzania 2026 demonstrated that innovation is no longer a parallel conversation to development. It is increasingly becoming one of the key pathways through which Tanzania can advance inclusive growth, create opportunities for young people and realize the ambitions of DIRA 2050.

Wiring the Future: How Vocational Skills are Sparking Peace and Opportunity for Tanzania’s Youth
For many young people, peace isn’t just the absence of conflict - it’s the presence of opportunity. It is the ability to secure a job, start a business, support a family, and contribute positively to their community. In Tanzania's southern regions, where unemployment remains a hurdle for young graduates, the Dumisha Amani II initiative is turning that potential into reality. Funded by the United Nations Peace and Development Trust Fund (UNPDF), China Government and implemented by UNDP in partnership with the Government of Tanzania through VETA, the Global Peace Foundation (GPF), China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Ltd. (CPP), the programme equips 240 young people across Mtwara, Lindi, Ruvuma and Kigoma with practical trades and peacebuilding skills.Investing in Youth, Investing in PeaceAfter weeks of intensive, hands-on training, the Mtwara cohort returned to the VETA centre for their official graduation ceremony. Joined by the local and international partners, the milestone event was officiated by the UNDP Resident Representative, Shigeki Komatsubara and the Chinese Ambassador to Tanzania, H.E. Chen Mingjian. Similar graduation ceremonies were held in Kigoma, Songea and Lindi regions. At the heart of the initiative are the graduates themselves, eager to step into the workforce. The graduation celebrated participants mastering high demand trades, from electrical work and laboratory technology to cookery and event decoration – many of which are tied to Tanzania’s growing blue economy. More Than Training—A Pathway to OpportunityDayana Petro, a young woman from Lindi region, enrolled in the CCTV, Camera Installation and Maintenance course under the Electrical Installation program. Stepping into a traditionally male-dominated field didn’t deter her. “Not so many women undertake electrical courses, but I believe this is good for me,” Dayana shared. “I am more confident and I have the skills to start my own business and secure my future.”Dayana’s story reflects the programme’s deep commitment to inclusion. Of the 240 participants 152 are young women and 88 are young men. This drive for gender equality extends across the entire project. In Songea, the VETA training specifically welcomed single young mothers, giving then a vital second chance to build careers. By offering these mothers practical, income-generating skills, the initiative is actively helping to break generational cycles of poverty and proving that inclusive economic growth is possible for everyone. The Strong Connection Between Peace and DevelopmentDumisha Amani II operates on a simple premise: peace and development are inseparable. Participants didn’t just learn technical skills; they received training in entrepreneurship, financial management and peacebuilding. Speaking on the impact of this dual approach, Ms. Alphoncina Mshana, Senior Curriculum Development Officer at VETA, noted that empowering young people with practical skills remains one of the most effective ways to promote sustainable development and social stability. She explained that when young people gain access to employment and income-generating opportunities, they become productive contributors to society and less vulnerable to activities that threaten peace and stability.UNDP Project Manager Lin Chen reinforced this vision, highlighting the program equips youth with two powerful tools: peacebuilding and practical vocational skills. “Participants learn how to prevent conflict, promote tolerance, strengthen social cohesion, and become ambassadors of unity in their communities while simultaneously gaining skills that can generate income,” Chen said, adding powerful reminder: “Young people are not only leaders of tomorrow; they are the change-makers of today.” A Partnership Creating OpportunitiesAddressing graduates, Ambassador Chen Mingjian highlighted the power of this international partnership to drive real change on the ground. “Dumisha Amani II stands as an exemplar of tripartite cooperation among China, the UN and Tanzania,” Ambassador Mingjian stated. “China will continue to promote social security and development of Tanzania through bilateral and multilateral cooperation.”The UNDP Representative Shigeki Komatsubara echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that when young people have hope and purpose, they become innovators capable of transforming their communities. Local leadership also weighed in with a strong call to action. The Mtwara Regional Commissioner, Hon. Col. Donald Msengi challenged the graduates to look beyond their new qualifications and transform their knowledge into real products, services and businesses. Crucially, he called on the private sector and financial institutions to step up and support these young entrepreneurs with capital, equipment and market access so their new skills can truly take root. Partners like CPP are already answering that call. Having previously trained 435 young people and provided scholarships to 64 beneficiaries, facilitated industrial training opportunities for 102 trainees, and built the capacity of 27 instructors in specialized technical fields. CPP is now helping extend this vital training to 180 more youths in the Southern Regions. As the Dumisha Amani II vocational training graduates step out of the classroom, they carry more than just a certificate and technical know-how. They carry the confidence to shatter gender barriers, the entrepreneurial spirit to build local economies and the tools to foster lasting peace in their communities.As participants learn new technical skills, explore entrepreneurship, and engage in peacebuilding activities, they are also helping shape a broader vision 2050 for Tanzania—one where young people are equipped to drive economic transformation while strengthening unity and social cohesion.By investing in youth today, Dumisha Amani II is helping build stronger communities, more resilient livelihoods, and a more peaceful future for tomorrow.

Respecting the Clay: The Women Rewriting Africa’s Building Story
Beneath our feet lies one of the world's oldest, most resilient building materials. For centuries,families across Africa have built homes, schools, and public places out of the very earth they walk on. Today, as cities frow and the climate changes, this ancient soil is being rediscovered, not as a relic of the past, but as the blueprint for a sustainable future. Recently, the quiet town of Kisarawe, became the epicenter of this rediscovery. For nearly three weeks, women from seven African nations – including Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda, Zambia, Mongolia and Tanzania gathered at Tanzania gathered at Tanzania Women Architects for Humanity (TAWAH) Vocational Training Center. Their goal was simple yet revolutionary: to master the art of Low-Carbon construction, prove that women belong at the helm of building industry and learn to build a new Africa, one block at a time. “Women are the Builders, Men are the Enablers.” - This phrase, echoed throughout the dust-filled air of the training grounds, became more than a slogan. For the women sweating over brick presses, it was direct challenge to the old way of thinking. In an industry historically dominated by men, there women were claiming their place, not just as helpers, but as the architects, business owners and visionaries of their communities. For Uyanga Gankhuyag, the Global Program Manager of ACP-EU Development Minerals programme, has warched this movement grow over the past decade through the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme, the heart of the project is about turning raw earth into human dignity. “The goal is to support orderly, organised development for the small scale artisans who work these mines,” Uyanga explains. “Construction is a beautiful form of value addition. You take raw minerals directly from the ground and transform them into durable building blocks. You are taking the earth and shaping it into shelter, safety and a home for people. The Wisdom of the Earth The training was a grueling hands on dive into the science of Stabilised Earth Blocks (SEBs). Unlike traditional red clay bricks, which must be baked in massive, wood-fired kilns that devour local forests, SEBs are compressed and cured naturally in the sun. They use local soil mixed with just a pinch of stabiliser, completely by passing the burning process. The results? Strong, durable homes with a fraction of the carbon footprint. But working with the earth is as much an art as it is a science. During the training, a phrase coined by Dr. Andre Njoya, a senior lecturer from Cameroon, quickly became the group’s guiding mantra: “If you don’t respect the clay, the clay won’t respect you.” At first, the statement brought smiles. But as the women mixed soil under the hot sun, they learned just how unforgiving the earth can be. Add a splash too much water and the blocks crack as they dry. Use too little water and they crumble to dust. Rush the curing process and the entire structure weakens. The clay demanded patience, precision and a deep respect for the natural world lessons that no text book could fully capture. To bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern technology, the builders also visited Ardhi University’s Building Research Institute. There, they analysed clay content and put their handmade blocks through rigorous engineering stress tests. It was a powerful moment of validation: proving that traditional, earth-based construction isn’t a compromise in quality, but a scientifically sound, world class standard. Taking the Skills HomeAs the workshop came to a close, the focus shifted from how to mold a brick to how to rebuild a life. For the participants, the physical transformation of the soil mirrored a change withing themselves. “When I first arrived, my hands were soft and I was intimidated by the heavy brick presses,” shares Wendy Anastasia Nambule Mukape a participant from Zambia, her hands stained with the red dust of Kisarawe. “But as the days went on, I felt a shift, I realised that the dirt beneath our feet is actually gold. Mixing the soil, feeling its texture, and watching a solid block emerge from my own strength changed how I see myself. I’m not just learning a trade; I am learning that I have the power to build my own future and my community’s future, from the ground up.”Wendy is not alone in her determination. “Because it has really been a hands on experience, I plan to use the skills gained here to train other engineers and people in my community,” says Naome Asasira, an engineer from Uganda. Her eyes are already set on the horizon. “I want to start a small scale pilot project back home so we can show people what is possible. We can make green construction a mainstream reality.” This ripple effect is what Godfrey Nyamrunda, who coordinates the programme in Tanzania, hopes will rewrite the economic landscape for the local communities. “Mining and construction have long been seen as spaces only for men,” Godfrey points out. “But this training throws all those doors wide open. By learning to add value to what is already under our feet, women are creating brand new local industries, jobs and steady incomes. For Tanzania, where we have an abundance of clay, this is a massive opportunity. It gives unemployed youth a way to build their own livelihoods and at the same time, significantly lowers the cost of building decent, dignified homes for everyone.” Sometimes, the solutions to our greatest modern challenges from youth unemployment to climate change don’t require expensive, imported technologies. Sometimes, the future is waiting for us right where we started: in the very earth beneath our feet, waiting for the right hands to shape it.

From a Classroom Dream to a Thriving Agribusiness: Joseph’s Journey of Growth
For years, Joseph Daniel, balanced two passions: teaching and farming. As a secondary school teacher in Babati, he spent his days in the classroom, while nurturing a small greenhouse on less than a quarter acre of land whenever time allowed. He dreamed of turning farming into a profitable business, but limited technical knowledge and resources made it difficult to move beyond small-scale production. That began to change in 2025 when Joseph joined the Vijana Kilimo Biashara (VKB) programme, implemented by the World Food Programme (WFP) Tanzania with support from the Mastercard Foundation. Through training on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), he learned practical skills in land preparation, input management, crop production, and agribusiness planning. Equipped with new knowledge and confidence, Joseph transformed the way he farmed. What started as a small greenhouse operation grew into a diversified horticulture enterprise spanning two acres. By applying improved farming practices and crop rotation techniques, Joseph expanded his production to include tomatoes, cucumbers, and capsicum, improving both productivity and income. The impact on his family's livelihood was significant. His annual income from farming increased from about TZS 700,000 to nearly TZS 10 million, enabling him to better provide for his wife and two young sons. Building on the entrepreneurship skills gained through the programme, Joseph also ventured into value addition by establishing a soap-making business, creating an additional income stream that is managed by his wife. "The knowledge I gained changed how I see farming. It is no longer just a side activity, but a business that can support my family and create opportunities for others," says Joseph.His progress was further accelerated through a VKB-supported business competition, where he placed third and received a prize of TZS 5.5 million. Joseph invested the funds strategically, purchasing a motorbike to improve access to markets and support his work in the community, while also acquiring land for future expansion.Today, Joseph's success extends far beyond his own farm. As a Community Based Facilitator, he mentors approximately 200 fellow farmers, sharing the knowledge and skills he gained through the programme. He also supports farmers in accessing reliable markets, with his farm serving as an aggregation point for produce destined for local buyers.

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL REMARKS TO MEMBER STATES ON THE LAUNCH OF THE UNITED NATIONS SYSTEM DATA COMMONS
THE SECRETARY-GENERAL REMARKS TO MEMBER STATES ON THE LAUNCH OF THE UNITED NATIONS SYSTEM DATA COMMONSNew York, 17 September 2026[as delivered]Excellencies, Distinguished delegates,I want to begin by thanking Under-Secretary-General Li, Executive Director Russell and the UN80 team for making this launch possible;And the Member States whose sustained support underpins the statistical work of the entire United Nations system.Excellencies,Behind every statistic is a human story.A child whose future depends on access to education.A family facing rising food prices.A community confronting growing climate risks.To serve them, we must understand their challenges – and know whether we are making a difference.For decades, the United Nations system has helped the world to precisely do that.Working with Member States, our organizations have built an extraordinary wealth of public data and statistics.This knowledge is a global public asset – held in trust for humanity.We have a responsibility to make it work better together – for everyone.Today, we take an important step in fulfilling that responsibility with the launch of the UN System Data Commons:A one-stop shop enabling easier public access to data and statistics of the United Nations system.Excellencies,The challenges before us are deeply interconnected.Drought undermines food security.Rising food prices deepen poverty.Poverty pushes children out of school.We cannot solve these challenges in silos.Yet too often, the information we need remains scattered across different organizations and formats.A policymaker must navigate multiple platforms to see the full picture.A researcher can spend more time reconciling data than analysing it.And people unfamiliar with our institutions can struggle to know where to start.Access to the knowledge of the United Nations system should never depend on knowing how to navigate its organigramme.The UN System Data Commons helps remove these barriers.Twenty-six participating UN System entities have joined forces to create a single gateway and make their publicly available data and statistics accessible – in accordance with their respective terms of use.And almost 44 million data points are already available on the new platform – today. Anyone can search in everyday language;Explore information across institutions – and trace it back to its source.And developers can plug this data directly into their own tools.In short: trusted, verified UN data – easier to find, easier to connect, easier to turn into action.Excellencies,This launch comes at a moment of profound change in how information is created, shared and used.We have more information at our fingertips than ever before – and less certainty about what to trust.If trusted facts are hard to find, unreliable data and misinformation will fill the void.Authoritative public data is the foundation of informed debate and accountable decision-making.This is a matter of public trust.Increasingly, people ask AI a question – and receive an immediate answer.Those answers will only be as good as the data behind them.We must help ensure that trusted data is part of the answer – and that answers can be traced back to the evidence.The Data Commons is built for this new age.Throughout, we will hold to accuracy, transparency, privacy, and human rights.We will work in accordance with applicable rules, policies and procedures.And we must ensure that countries and communities with fewer resources can benefit.Open data must go hand in hand with the capacity to use it.The Data Commons also shows what we can achieve through UN80:Shared infrastructure – built faster and cheaper than if each entity acts alone.Work across institutional boundaries.A whole greater than the sum of its parts.An idea discussed for years – delivered in under nine months.Which demonstrates that change is possible.And this is reform people can use.Its value will be measured in better support to countries;Better informed decisions;And stronger results for the people we serve.Today’s launch is a beginning.I urge all remaining UN entities to join. I invite all Member States to use the Data Commons to inform national priorities and accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.And I call on researchers, journalists, developers, civil society and the public to use it, test it, and help us make it ever better.Trusted evidence should not sit behind institutional walls. Let us bring it within reach of everyone working for a more peaceful, sustainable and just world.And let us turn better evidence into better decisions – and better lives.Thank you.

MESSAGE ON THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
People with disabilities are transforming societies — leading innovation, influencing policy, and mobilizing for justice. Yet too often, they are denied a seat at the decision-making table.The Doha Political Declaration, adopted at last month’s World Summit for Social Development, reaffirms a critical truth: there can be no sustainable development without the inclusion of people with disabilities.People with disabilities drive progress that benefits us all. Their leadership has improved disaster preparedness, expanded inclusive education and employment, and ensured humanitarian responses reach those most at risk.Many innovations that shape our daily lives — from text messaging to voice-activated technology — began as solutions developed by and for people with disabilities. Yet systemic barriers persist: discrimination, poverty, and inaccessible services continue to limit the participation of the over one billion people with disabilities worldwide.On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, let us commit to working side-by-side with persons with disabilities in all their diversity, as equal partners.When inclusion is real, everyone benefits. Together, we can build more accessible, resilient societies where all of us thrive.

European Union and UNHCR sign TZS 9.2 billion (EUR 3 million) agreement to strengthen protection and assistance to Congolese refugees and asylum seekers in Tanzania
The European Union (EU) and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, have signed a new partnership agreement to continue providing protection and humanitarian assistance to Congolese refugees and asylum seekers residing in Nyarugusu Camp, as well as the new arrivals who are temporarily hosted at the Transit Centre in Kigoma Region, Tanzania. Through a contribution of TZS 9.2 billion (EUR 3 million), the EU will support UNHCR’s efforts to deliver timely, lifesaving, and protection-sensitive assistance and services in health, WASH, shelter, and education, including specialized services to persons with specific needs fleeing violence from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). “The global increase in crises has led to an unprecedented number of refugees in urgent need of support around the world. That is why today I am proud to announce the signing of a 9.2 billion TZS (EUR 3 million), contract with UNHCR here in Tanzania. This crucial agreement will directly benefit refugees in Tanzania, ensuring their protection, enabling them to lead dignified lives, and supporting their access to livelihoods. As the European Union, we remain firmly committed to humanitarian values and international solidarity. We must continue working together to address these global challenges and uphold the rights and dignity of every individual seeking refuge,” says Ambassador Christine Grau, EU Ambassador to Tanzania and the East African Community.In 2025, UNHCR, in collaboration with national and international partners, continues to support the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania in receiving new arrivals in the Kigoma Region. From January to June this year, over 3,000 refugees have been received in Kigoma. UNHCR and partners continue to provide services to 85,105 Congolese refugees residing in Nyarugusu Camp. These individuals are provided with immediate life-saving assistance, including safe shelter, food, health services, clean water and sanitation facilities, and other essential support. Given the dire circumstances under which many refugees flee, often with only clothes on their backs and a few belongings, access to health, shelter, clean water, hygiene, and sanitation facilities is critical. These services not only reduce mortality and morbidity but also uphold the dignity, protection, and overall well-being of asylum seekers and refugees.“Standing with Congolese refugees and asylum seekers in Tanzania is not just our responsibility – it is a reflection of our shared humanity. Through the steadfast support of partners like the EU, we are not only meeting urgent needs, but investing in dignity, resilience, and the foundations of lasting peace for families who deserve hope and a future,” says Zulqarnain Hussain Anjum, UNHCR Representative a.i. in Tanzania.UNHCR requires an estimated USD 14 million (TZS 37.8 billion) to respond to the DRC emergency in Tanzania, including USD 5 million (TZS 13.5 billion) for preparedness, and appeals now more than ever for more humanitarian and international community support. As of 31 May 2025, Tanzania hosts over 230,000 refugees, mainly from Burundi and the DRC.

UN Headquarters to Mark International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers on 29 May
In 1948, a historic decision was made to deploy military observers to the Middle East to supervise the implementation of the Israel-Arab Armistice Agreements, establishing what became the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization. Since that time, more than two million peacekeepers have served in 71 operations around the world. Today, approximately 68,000 women and men serve as military, police, and civilian personnel in 11 conflict zones across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. A total of 119 countries currently contribute uniformed personnel.Tanzania is the 10th largest contributor of uniformed personnel to UN Peacekeeping. It currently deploys 1,548 military and police personnel, including 183 women, to the UN’s peacekeeping operations in Abyei, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lebanon, and South Sudan.During ceremonies at United Nations Headquarters, Secretary-General António Guterres will lay a wreath to honour the more than 4,400 UN peacekeepers who have lost their lives since 1948. He will also preside over a ceremony in the Trusteeship Council Chamber, where Dag Hammarskjöld Medals will be awarded posthumously to 57 military, police, and civilian peacekeepers who lost their lives serving under the UN flag last year. Among those to be honoured posthumously with the Dag Hammarskjöld Medal is Corporal Juma Ngai Kagose of Tanzania, who served with the UN Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO).The Secretary General will also present the 2024 Military Gender Advocate of the Year Award to Squadron Leader Sharon Mwinsote Syme from Ghana, and the UN Woman Police Officer of the Year Award to Superintendent Zainab Gbla of Sierra Leone. Both awardees currently serve with the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA).This year’s theme for the Day is “The Future of Peacekeeping.” The theme underscores what the ‘Pact for the Future’ adopted last year at the United Nations, including a commitment to adapt peacekeeping to a changing world, as expressed through Member States’ pledges to fill capability gaps and help UN peacekeeping respond to emerging challenges and new realities. This commitment was reiterated at the recent Peacekeeping Ministerial in Berlin.In his message, United Nations Secretary General António Guterres stated: “Today, peacekeepers face increasingly complex situations in an increasingly complex world... Now more than ever, the world needs the United Nations—and the United Nations needs peacekeeping that is fully equipped for today’s realities and tomorrow’s challenges.”“Today, we honour their service,” Mr. Guterres continued. “We draw inspiration from their resilience, dedication, and courage. And we remember all the brave women and men who made the ultimate sacrifice for peace. We will never forget them and we will carry their work forward.”Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, added: “Our personnel are our most important capability. The sacrifices made by our peacekeepers call for more than remembrance; they demand action. Throughout its history, peacekeeping has always adapted to ever-changing contexts to achieve results. The future of peacekeeping hinges on our collective commitment to continue to adapt and invest—so we can continue delivering hope and protection where it’s needed most.”The International Day of UN Peacekeepers was established by the UN General Assembly in 2002 to pay tribute to all men and women serving in peacekeeping and to honour the memory of those who have lost their lives in the cause of peace. # # # For media inquiries and further information, please contact: Department of Global Communications: Douglas Coffman: coffmand@un.org 1(917) 361-9923
