Background and Context

About the World Bank Group

The World Bank Group (WBG) is one of the world’s largest sources of funding and knowledge for development. It comprises five institutions with a common goal: to end extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity on a livable planet. The WBG operates in more than 100 countries, with a mission to help developing countries find solutions to the toughest global and local development challenges — from adapting to climate change to boosting food security, from expanding access to education to building and strengthening institutions.

Eastern and Southern Africa Region

The Eastern and Southern Africa (EAFR) Region encompasses 26 countries and a combined population of nearly 700 million people — half of whom are under the age of 18. The region faces significant development challenges, including high levels of poverty, food and water insecurity, gender inequality, and vulnerability to climate change. At the same time, it represents a region of extraordinary dynamism and potential, with a growing young population and increasing urbanization. The World Bank’s work in the region is anchored in building inclusive, resilient, and sustainable economies — with a particular focus on empowering women and girls.

The consultant will provide support to two critical projects as summarized below:

• The PAMOJA Project (P178813).

• The Project for Advancing Gender Equality in Tanzania (PAMOJA) is a US$104 million World Bank-IDA loan-funded project implemented across Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. The project targets 40 district councils across 10 regions on the Mainland and 8 rural districts across 4 regions in Zanzibar, and operates over a five-year period.

Project Development Objective:

To increase access to (i) economic opportunities for women and (ii) gender-based violence prevention and response services.

PAMOJA operates through four major components:

● Component 1 — Promoting Economic Opportunities (US$54M): Community-based models delivering business skills training, market linkage support, and revolving loan funds. Expected to reach approximately 319,850 direct and 399,000 indirect beneficiaries.

● Component 2 — Strengthening GBV Prevention and Response (US$30M): Piloting community-based prevention models, delivering psycho-social services, and constructing critical infrastructure including Safe Houses.

● Component 3 — Innovations and Partnerships (US$5.5M): Supporting childcare centers and digital innovations to address key barriers to women’s economic participation.

● Component 4 — Project Management and M&E (US$10.5M): Oversight, coordination, and evidence-building across the project.

Implementing Agencies:

The Ministry of Community Development, Gender, Women and Special Groups (MoCDGWSG) on the Mainland; the President’s Office – Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG); and the Ministry of Community Development, Gender, Elders and Children (MoCDGEC) and the Zanzibar Economic Empowerment Agency (ZEEA) in Zanzibar.

PAMOJA has

A. Additional Donor Financing: The Project for Advancing Gender Equality also benefits from two World Bank executed Trust Funds: a US$2 million Gates Foundation Trust Fund focused on innovative on-lending through a wholesaling facility (linked to 1.3), but also support to the delivery mechanism of Component 1.2 of lending to community microfinance groups and a pilot to digitize CMGs. The ETC is expected to support these deliverables to the respective donors as well as assist in operationalizing some of these core deliverables.

B. The Financial Access for Sustainable and Transformational (FAST) Growth Project development objective is to promote access to finance and growth of SMEs in Tanzania which shall be achieved through facilitating access to finance for SMEs, strengthening the credit infrastructure; promoting SMEs growth in select value chains; support policy and legal reforms and capacity building.
