TANZANIA

NORWEGIAN CHURCH AID IN TANZANIA 

Our work in Tanzania focuses on four topics: Fighting Inequality; Climate Smart Economic Empowerment; Gender-Based Violence; and Sustainable Faith-Based Health Care.

WHO WE ARE

NCA established its presence in Tanzania in 2006 and has a long history of working together with local faith-based actors to help people climb out of poverty and promote justice. Throughout its presence, NCA has nurtured an interfaith civil society movement, working for peace and social cohesion, accountable governance, economic justice and gender equality. For NCA, facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogue and cooperation is a key approach to strengthening the role of civil society and promoting sustainable development results in the country.

WHAT WE DO

NCA in Tanzania strengthens the capacity of civil society actors and civic space to foster human dignity and rights, and to empower people to participate in the development and implementation of public policies and development plans. Together with civil society organisations, NCA and partners work to implement long-term development programmes in the following areas:

• Fighting Inequality (FI)
• Climate Smart Economic Empowerment (CSEE)
• Gender-based Violence (GBV)
• Sustainable Faith-Based Health Care - Haydom Lutheran Hospital (HLH)
• 
  

WHERE WE WORK

NCA Tanzania will scale up programmes in Dodoma, Kigoma, Lindi, Manyara, Pwani and Tabora in the coming years, while supporting innovation and maintaining existing work in the Iringa, Kilimanjaro, and Morogoro regions. NCA interventions target poor and marginalized communities and faith actors, with a focus on women and youth in rural areas as well as small-scale farmers.
