About BRAC Maendeleo Tanzania

BRAC Maendeleo Tanzania is part of a leading development organisation that commenced operations in Tanzania in 2006. The organisation focuses on thematic areas including agriculture, youth and women empowerment, food security, and livelihoods.

About the Programme

The Mastercard Foundation, in partnership with BRAC International (BI), is implementing an initiative designed to create a positive and measurable impact on 1.2 million adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) across seven countries in East and West Africa: Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Uganda.
