  4. Findings cont. Assessment of the Overall Implementation of the ICPD-PoA issues in Tanzania

  5. Findings cont. Assessment of the Overall Implementation of the ICPD-PoA Issues in Tanzania • Overall good progress on implementation of the issues. • 44.6% of the ICPD-POA issues have had concrete measures for which their implementation is either on schedule or ahead of schedule; • 36.9% of the issues have measures whose implementation is behind schedule • 18.5% have measures whose implementation has not started or lack such measures completely • 81.5% of ICPD-PoA issues have at least implementation measures in place

  6. Findings cont. Assessment of Implementation which is on or beyond schedule by Sector

  7. Assessment of Implementation by Sector – for Zanzibar

  8. Mixed achievements since 1994 • Extreme poverty high (34%) and remains the same; Population size has increased (2.9); still Young population base (23%); urbanization and % living in urban slum areas has increased; literacy rates low ( 67%) • No significant change in (MDG 5 –targets): • the high fertility(5.4); • low CPR (27%); • high unmet need for FP ( 25%); • high adolescents fertility rate (116/1000 women); • High MMR 454/100,000 live births; SBA (51%) • Decline in HIV ( 5.5%) and increase in women participation

  9. New, emerging challenges • Weak mainstreaming population issues in all sectors and levels • Child Violence • Un-progressive international migration management including diaspora coordination • Climate change, desertification, water scarcity and biodiversity and ecosystem losses • Inadequate quality and efficacy of education at all levels • Growing food insecurity • Increasing physical, emotional and sexual or gender based violence • Increased unsustainable and unplanned urbanization (including disorganised rural-urban migration and unaffordable housing)

  10. Summary • Findings are consistent with recent MDG progress report for Tanzania ( 2010) that shows that MDG 1 and MDG 5 will not meet the MDG national targets • Emerging issues are in line with what has been identified globally, the challenge is to make them part of the MDG post 2015 development priorities.

  11. Summary of Recommendations as We Look Beyond 2014

  12. Messages from ICDP review in Tanzania • Strengthen and protect the achievements made so far under ICPD 2014, including universal access to maternal health, HIV prevention, FP and ASRH especially among poor and marginalized and in the prevention and protection against Gender based violence. • Need social , economical and urban planning that considers the changing population dynamics • Focus on addressing linkages between impact of climate change on the population dynamics in planning for mitigation and adaptation strategies. • Promote social and economic investments in youth in anticipation of ensuring the existing demographic window of opportunity becomes a demographic bonus. • Advocate for the reform of the social protection system to reduce the vulnerability of older persons to income insecurity, and improved access to adequate and affordable quality health and social care for older persons

  13. Messages from ICPD review in Tanzania • Advocate for greater attention on new innovations to address the relatively high incidence of family poverty in the country 7. Quality of education is central as we look beyond 2014 8. Step up efforts to ensure women’s reproductive rights as a strategy of ensuring gender equality especially among poor and marginalized women 9. Change dysfunctional mindsets, social and cultural norms and practices especially child marriage/forced marriage, inequitable sharing of responsibilities between men and women, early childbearing, FGM and unfair inheritance
