Entrepreneurship Trainer – Personal Initiative Method
Background:
The SAfA Tanzania Project aims to support over 50,000 young men and women aged 15–30 in Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Mbeya, and Songwe who are currently facing uncertain futures. The project seeks to improve their life prospects through better access to education, income opportunities, and health services, while fostering a more youth-friendly and inclusive environment. This is achieved through a multisectoral approach implemented by three partners: Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW) Tanzania, Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung (HRNS) Tanzania, and Kühne Foundation (KF) Tanzania. Together, they bring complementary expertise to promote skills development for gainful employment, enhance agricultural practices, optimize health supply chains, and improve reproductive health education with a focus on gender responsiveness. They also work to increase the uptake of youth-friendly health services.The project’s integrated and holistic model is expected to generate significant, sustainable impact, which will be closely monitored through rigorous evaluation. Lessons learned will support ongoing local capacity building and inform future scaling and replication in Tanzania and beyond.

- Conduct follow-up supervision meetings with training groups in the weeks following training.
Duration: Predominantly June through August – with six weeks of full-time work and part-time meetings and supplemental sessions for two to three weeks – also in September/October.
