Zanzibar Joint Programme Integrated Innovations For Sustainable Development

The Zanzibar Joint Programme (ZJP), Integrated Innovations for Sustainable Development: Empowering Vulnerable Communities in Kaskazini Unguja and Kaskazini Pemba, Zanzibar, is a multi-agency initiative designed to address the root causes of poverty and inequality in these regions. It targets the most marginalised groups—including women, youth, persons with disabilities, female-headed households, and coastal communities whose livelihoods are affected by climate change. Many of these communities depend on the blue economy for income, nutrition and employment.
