Safeguarding Systems Strengthening of Project Partners in Tanzania

East Africa
Co-financing

Goal

Strengthen safeguarding systems across five partner organisations in Tanzania to reduce risks and prevent sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH) by building robust, context‑appropriate institutional capacities that ensure safe environments and clear accountability.

Participants

Five partner organisations and their management, boards, staff and associated personnel, alongside community members, especially women and children, who face heightened risks of violence.

Background

Partners work closely with vulnerable groups yet face gaps in safeguarding policies, complaint pathways and referral systems. Tools often lack alignment with international standards or local realities. Prior experience in gender analysis and safeguarding provides a base, but stronger leadership, participation and systematisation are required for consistent protection and accountability.

Activities

  • Conduct safeguarding assessments for each partner to identify risks, gaps and needs; develop and adapt an assessment tool to international standards and local contexts
  • Provide tailored training for leadership, boards and staff to strengthen knowledge, commitment and accountability for SEAH prevention and response
  • Co‑create and finalise safeguarding policies, including codes of conduct, survivor‑centred procedures and whistleblowing provisions
  • Establish or improve confidential complaint and feedback mechanisms and build functional referral pathways with service providers
  • Run collaborative workshops to plan implementation roadmaps, roles, timelines and monitoring responsibilities
  • Facilitate community sensitisation on rights, reporting channels and zero tolerance for SEAH
  • Ensure meaningful participation of target groups throughout design, implementation and review
  • Promote peer learning and knowledge sharing among partners to embed continuous improvement
