UNICEF
UNICEF works for the rights of children and women, guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. UNICEF is on the ground in over 150 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and HIV and AIDS. The overall goal of the UNICEF Tanzania country programme (2007-2010) is to enhance the realization and protection of the human rights of all children, particularly the most vulnerable. The programme focuses on the following key areas: Young Child Survival and Development; Basic Education and Life Skills; Child Protection and Participation; Policy Advocacy and Analysis; and Emergency Preparedness and Response.

Policy advocacy and analysis
Approach to Supporting Civil Society:UNICEF’s support for NGOs/CSOs aims to build and strengthen capacity for service delivery and advocacy/awareness around children’s rights. It is grounded in the realization that the human rights-based approach to programming requires the participation of children, women, and local communities, which is often facilitated by grassroots organizations. A major part of the support provided by UNICEF to CSOs/NGOs is the provision of cash assistance and supplies which are agreed based upon Project Cooperation Agreements (PCAs) linked to annual work plans approved by Government. Cash assistance is normally through cash advance based on jointly agreed work plan activities. UNICEF may also make a direct payment to vendors, suppliers, or consultants.
Strategical Framework/Country Strategy of Cooperation in Tanzania:The 2007-2010 Country Programme is based on the principles of JAST and developed within the framework of UNDAF to support national priorities for children. Interrelated strategies include: Evidence-based advocacy for the MDGs and human rights; national and sub-national capacity development; technical assistance to strengthen laws, policies, institutions, planning and budget processes for children; strategic service delivery, particularly in humanitarian response and child survival; and programme communications to promote social and behavioural change. Key partnerships with the Government, CSOs, NGOs, research institutions, and children and young people.Emergency preparedness and response, gender, and HIV/AIDS are mainstreamed. UN reform is pursued through the 'delivering as one'pilot.
