Demo’s programme in Tanzania targets gender equality and strengthening of women's political participation. The support is directed to the work of Tanzania – Women’s Cross-Party Platform (T–WCP) which comprises of the women’s wings of parliamentary parties alongside with Parliament’s women’s network. The Platform organizes joint campaigns and training activities to raise the voice of women in politics. The programme has also been piloted at the local level in Kyela, Temeke and Zanzibar, opening doors for grassroots women to participate in politics.
