Terms Of Reference : End Term Evaluation For Increased Democratic and Inclusive Election in Tanzania 2020 Project (IDIEP)

Background

We Effect , TAWLA and TYC under the support of European Union implements in partnership a three year project (2020-2023) which aims at strengthening democratic and inclusive electoral processes and accountable leadership in Tanzania during and after the 2020 national elections. This new project titled   “Increased Democratic and Inclusive Election in Tanzania in 2020” will be implemented in three regions of Tanzania namely Arusha, Tanga and Mwanza covering a total of 13 constituencies of Arumeru East, Arumeru west, Longido, Karatu, Monduli, Sumve, Magu, Misungwi, Kwimba, Lushoto, Korogwe, Muheza and Handeni rural. In each constituency the project will focus on 15 wards.

This project is tailored to build on the gains made in a phased out three-year action (2017-2019) which aimed at enhancing the participation of women and youth in the 2019 local election and 2020 general election in Tanzania “WYPRE PROJECT”. This project is  structured in three phases namely; the pre-election period, Election period and post-electoral period. It aims at ensuring strengthened inclusivity, democracy, transparency, enhanced capacity of elected leaders (those who will be successful) and their accountability to citizens after elections as well as peaceful co-existence after the general election.

The overall objective of this project was to contribute to strengthened CSOs for enhanced democratic and inclusive electoral processes and more accountable leadership in Tanzania during and after the 2020 general elections.

This project had two specific objectives

1. To promote democratic practices, citizens’ participation especially women and youth in peaceful national electoral and post-electoral processes of 2020 in Mwanza, Arusha and Tanga regions of Tanzania.
2. To promote accountable leadership and peaceful environment in post-electoral Tanzania especially in the targeted regions of Arusha, Mwanza and Tanga
