Tanzania Early Childhood Development Network (TECDEN) is a national umbrella Network of
Early Childhood Development (ECD) Civil Society Organizations working to promote Early
Childhood Development in Tanzania by influencing change in policies, programmes and practices.
Our vision is to see a society where all children are developmentally on track to reach their full
potential. Over the years, TECDEN has recorded significant results and successes
https://www.tecden.or.tz/ .
In 2019 TECDEN conducted an organisation review to assess the organisation’s strengths and areas
with the need of improvement on it operations systems. After the assessment, one of the
recommendation was a need to have new strategic focus and interventions where it was
recommended TECDEN to develop a strategic plan primarily to identify the organization niche and
stipulate the key priorities to be implemented within 3 year’s time (2023/2024-2025/2026).
TECDEN has been conducting its operations on activity basis since 2019 after the previous
Strategic Plan came to an end in 2018.
The intended Strategy aimed to incorporate both programmatic and institutional strengthening
aspects-for internal operations, accountability and membership networking. The process of
developing this strategic plan will be critical to revitalizing engagement of ECD stakeholders
directly with TECDEN at national and sub national level, and will fundamentally contribute to its
visibility and credibility. TECDEN is therefore seeking a short term consultant to facilitate the
development process of the new Strategic Plan (2023/2024-2025/2026).
TECDEN is looking for a consultant who has expertise and well experienced in strategic plan
development in supporting the network to develop the Strategic Plan in a consultative manner.
