Approach to Supporting Civil Society:WFP’s works with CSO is primarily in its Refugee operation as cooperating partners in food distributions and in the HIV/AIDS, food for work and food for assets creation activities. WFP’s collaboration with CSOs is mainly characterized by support services that are time-bound to project implementation agreements as well as policy advocacy and mainstreaming initiatives (at macro and micro levels), in which the agency works closely with NGOs,churches/mosques, foundations, local hospitals and community groups. The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) is the overall supervisor of the project, MoH and Social Welfare provides guidance and technical assistance. Identification and selection of beneficiaries is the responsibility of the NGO/CSO in cooperation with government at district level. MOUs are signed with PMO and each NGO/Health facility and district council according to their specific responsibilities.
Strategical Framework/Country Strategy of Cooperation in Tanzania:WFP’s overall strategic objective in Tanzania includes assisting the Government to meet the goals of the MDGs, MKUKUTA and MKUZA. WFP supports the Government’s development goals and building capacity of Government and CSOs in issues related to food security, increasing access to education, mitigating the effects of HIV/AIDS, decreasing the prevalence of malnutrition and reducing vulnerability to drought and shocks. Another area of support is WFP’s enhanced commitment to gender equality and women empowerment in all our activities.
