Project Coordinator

FDUV – Inclusion Finland and TAMH – Tanzania Association of the Intellectually Handicapped are recruiting a Project Coordinator for the project:

Social and Economic Inclusion of People with Intellectual Disabilities and Their Families in Tanzania

---

Project Overview

The project aims to promote full social and economic inclusion of persons with intellectual disabilities (PWID) and their families in Tanzania. PWID often face marginalization, stigma, discrimination, and limited access to fundamental human rights such as education, employment, and equal participation in society.

The project supports TAMH through three core pillars:

1. Capacity Building
2. Empowerment of PWID and their families
3. Advocacy for disability inclusion and rights

The overall objective is to strengthen TAMH’s organizational capacity, empower its members, and enhance advocacy efforts at both national and local levels. The recruitment of a Project Coordinator is a critical first step in restoring and strengthening TAMH’s organizational structure, as the organization currently has no permanent staff.
