The aim of the NSGD is to consolidate and speed up implementation of the Women and Gender Development Policy 2000, which strives to redress gender gaps and inequalities between men and women.

The goal of the National Strategy for Gender Development is to achieve gender equality and equity in Tanzania as stipulated in the national Constitution and the Women and Gender Development Policy. The objective of NSGD is to guide and involve all stakeholders to bring about gender equality in a more harmonized manner for enhanced development. |
