The Demo programme in Tanzania targets gender equality and strengthening of women's political participation. The emphasis is on cross-party cooperation of women politicians, training and capacity building of parliamentary parties' women's wings, local level pilot project in Kyela district and facilitating the establishment of the Cross-Party Women's Platform (CPWP).
In the parliamentary election held in October 2010, Tanzanians chose their parliament but also their representatives to district governments. The role of district governance is strong in the country, thus a fair representation of women in these decision making organs is vital in order to get the voice of the grassroot level heard.
Anna Makinda, a long serving member of the parliament was elected as the first chairwoman of the parliament. Makinda, who represents the leading CCM party, got 265 out of 327 votes cast, thus receiving support from the opposition as well. Mabere Marando, the candidate of the main opposition party, Chadema, got only 53 votes despite of the fact that Chadema currently holds 82 seats in the parliament.
