Background and purpose of the assignment
Save the Children's work globally is guided by its global strategy Ambition for Children 2030 which focuses on inspiring three specific breakthroughs for children around the world by 2030:
Survive: No child dies form preventable causes before their fifth birthday
Learn: All children learn form a quality basic education
Be protected: Violence against children is no longer tolerated
In Tanzania, Save the Children is working towards achieving the following changes for children by 2030:
Survive: Achieve reduction in Maternal Mortality to 230/100,000 live births and reduce stunting to levels accepted by the Government of Tanzania by 2030.
Learn: Increase access to Early Childhood Care and Development with demonstrated readiness for primary school and increased transition rates for primary to secondary school for children.
Be protected: Decision makers and the public alike acknowledge that violence against children constitutes a problem in the country and a full child protection system is put in place by various actors to prevent and respond to all forms of violence, abuse and exploitation of children.
To reach these goals, Save the Children has developed a Country Strategic Plan for the period 2016-2018, with more specific outcomes to guide its work in Education, Child protection, Health and Nutrition and Child Rights Governance. Currently, Save the Children works with nearly 20 local partners and in support of the local governments in the following locations: Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Kibondo, Shinyanga, Songwe and Zanzibar (Unguja and Pemba). In 2017, Save the Children reached almost 1,000,000 people in Tanzania.
In Zanzibar (both islands, Unguja and Pemba) Save the Children delivers programming in the fields of Maternal New born and Child Health and Nutrition, Child Protection and Child Rights Governance, in coordination with the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, the Government of Tanzania and local partners. Through this work, Save the Children seeks to make contributions to child survival, eliminating Violence Against Children, as well as promoting child participation in public policy decision making. Specifically, Save the Children's Child Protection initiatives focus mainly on ending the use of physical and humiliating punishment in the home and school settings and preventing child sexual abuse and exploitation.
