ARUPA has three main targets: the youth, the women and the most vulnerable children. For each group, ARUPA works on different projects and activities.

A: Youth Desk

For the Youth: Currently, the most important program is AYETA (Youth Empowerment Program in Tanzania) and WAJIBIKA Project. Details are given for each section in different chapters and more analysis provided in the form of documentary and features. Formally, the young people section was running two interventions – one in promoting Youth to Youth HIV/AIDS Management and another Youth to Youth Environment Conservation Initiatives. The two initiatives have been resumed under AYETA.

B: Gender and Adolescent Desk

For Women: Campaign Against Female Genital Mutilation (CAFGM) and a new proposed project (Promoting Human Rights and Enhancing Paralegal Aids in Manyara Region) are expected to bring remarkable changes. Previously, the African Queens of Drums from Nzali and Mtumba Village Women Group were the active interventions supplemented by Tumaini Women Group which has expanded into three groups of small scale livelihood development initiatives (involving Mshikamano and Tupendane Groups comprising 28 people living with HIV/AIDS – PLWHA). They all take care of our vulnerable children including 12 living with HIV/AIDS. The new programme (AYETA) seeks to empower them and facilitate their small scale saving schemes through entrepreneurship and small scale economic projects which have been approved as the only reliable sustainable facility. This Desk oversees also the implementation of the project aimed at tracking the Millennium Development Goals.

C: Children Rights Desk

For children: The Desk under Gender and Adolescent Sector has the role to coordinate and promote the children rights from infancy to adolescent stage. Thus Maternal and Child Health (PMCH) is one of the major sections under this Desk. So far radio programmes have been produced and aired although financial constraints remain as the major challenge of the section to be addressed by the new strategic plan. In this section violence against children is campaigned in collaboration with partners. The recently challenge escalated through a special research: include Female Genital Mutilation aimed at children from their infancy which promote underage marriage. This Project is undertaken by ARUPA in collaboration with international organization (Human Rights Watch) from USA. Psychosocial services for vulnerable children and other compulsory humanitarian aid will be enhanced through the new programme which has been developed for youth empowerment in Tanzania. More details for the new Programme continues here.

TRACKING MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDGs) No 4 &5

Background and Situation Analysis

World Health Organization (WHO) Statistics of 2009 show that about 1500 women die from pregnancy related complication everyday of which 99 % are in developing countries. In Tanzania current statistics estimate maternal mortality ratio to be 454 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. This ratio is somewhat lower than the ratio estimated for the 10-year prior to the 1996 – 2010 (578 maternal deaths per 100,000 births) and the 1990 – 1996 (529 maternal deaths per 100,000 births) according to TDHS.

Until today, millions of women lack access to both information and health services, putting their lives at risk. The maternal mortality rate for example in Dodoma Region still remains at an alarming stage as it stands at 124 per 100,000 and Singida Region at 207 per 100,000.

Through the Tracking MDGs/REMMOC, ARUPA is expecting tremendous changes by implementing the project through financial support from the Tanzania Media Fund (TMF). Hence, coming up with a proposal for raising awareness and galvanizing public opinion as a means to boost development support needed to reach the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 (particularly MDGs number 4 and 5) aimed at reducing maternal death and child mortality. Through this project efforts done under both MDGs and government strategies will be revealed and enhanced.

This project proposal stands as Fact Finding Mission (an investigative journalism approach and strategy) followed with production of informative and educative materials collected from health experts and people in grass-root level in a bid to empower and raise the voice of the marginalized people in rural and peripheral urban centre and aimed at creating awareness, enhancing HIV/AIDS control and Reproductive Health Education to both Women and Young people as the bases and preventive methodology.

Being approached in the first place, for financial support, the Tanzania Media Fund (TMF) advised ARUPA to collaborate with media outlets interested and committed to such public interest, investigative and poverty alleviation programmes for Broadcasting. With this proposal, 4 out of 11 media outlets interested to start implementing the Project are identified here: RADIO NYEMO FM, RADIO KIFIMBO FM, ABM Radio FM, and IMPACT RADIO FM.

AYETA (Youth Empowerment Program in Tanzania)

For the past two years, ARUPA has been embarked in a long term Programme review and development starting from March 2014 to March 2019. AYETA has been elaborated to help youth of Tanzania to face challenge and development barriers using appropriate methodologies. This Program has a special focus to Orphans, Vulnerable Children, Adolescent Girls and Teen Mothers.       It seeks to empower unemployed and school drop-out youth, especially graduates youth with skills and trainable in entrepreneurship, farming, veterinary, poultry, piggery, horticulture, eco-tourism, I CT, embroidery and decoration, artisan and small scale mining, carpentry and welding, music and film production, photographic and graphic works, saloon and barber, discotheque and grocery out of other youth initiatives for income generating projects.

Statistics available in the ministry of Social Development, Gender and Children in Tanzania indicate that over 20 per cent of the population are adolescents, among them 4,109,000 are adolescent girls living in Tanzania and 39 per cent are girls who are married and 25 per cent are impregnated before 18 years of age respectively.

AGTM–PEP (Adolescent Girls & Teen Mothers - Participatory Empowerment Program) is one of the major Programs undertaken by African Rural Press in Action (ARUPA) as a long term program aimed at supporting adolescent girls and young people particularly teen-mothers who are both in school and school drop outs most of them being vulnerable and disadvantaged.  

ARUPA for 12 years has been implementing AGTM-PEP in Dodoma Region under an Outreach Program dedicated to the community based organization as a wing of ARUPA formed by Women Group (Tumaini Women Group) and affiliated to ARUPA. The Program so far has supported over 400 vulnerable children since its inception in 2002.

The new Program (AYETA) is an ongoing Program that has been introduced for the continuation of adult education for youth empowerment with special focus in entrepreneurship facility, addressing HIV/AIDS/STIs, Psycho-social service,   especially for girls between the ages of   12 – 20 years who are in school and school dropouts including unemployed youth from the higher learning institutions. 

Under the new program, 100 groups have been formed under 10 Area Development Program (ADP) in 4 branches of Dodoma, Manyara, Morogoro and Singida regions with a total of 4500 orphans and vulnerable children, 2000 being adolescent girls, 1000 teen mothers and the rest 1500 being mixed vulnerable and poor youth from universities and undergraduates.

AYETA has specific goals and objectives to improve the quality of life for vulnerable adolescents especially girls and teen mothers by increasing their knowledge and skills of mental, physical and financial support through livelihood development facility (LDF).

Effective proposed approaches used to address the plight of both vulnerable children and adolescent girls and teen mothers.

Empowering the Youth to Protect their Health Programme (EYPH)

ADOLESCENT FEMALE PROTECTION

AfPDP is a special programme aimed at empowering the Central Corridor of Tanzania to advocate strongly and effectively on health related issues by increasing the Adolescent female capacity to understand their roles and participate fully in the society’s development as well as promoting non-governmental organizations by increasing their capacity to formulate policy priorities, monitor their implementation and hold decision-makers to account. ARUPA, therefore, believes that mainstreaming a gender perspective is the process of assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies or programmes, in all areas and at all levels.

It is a strategy for making women's as well as men's concerns and experiences an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in all political, economic and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated. The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality. However, mainstreaming essentially offers a pluralistic approach that values the diversity among both women and men.
