Impacts and Implications of Gender Mainstreaming in Rural Transport in Tanzania - Policy Brief

In 2003, Tanzania adopted a National Transport Policy to mainstream gender in rural transport

Abstract

In 2003, Tanzania adopted a National Transport Policy to mainstream gender in rural transport. However, little is known if the policy has been effectively applied and has resulted in transformative changes to the lives of women facing multiple forms of discrimination and exclusion.

This research investigated whether women facing intersecting inequalities benefit from gender mainstreaming, identifying some of the constraints and factors facilitating transformative changes in programmes such as the Village Travel and Transport Programme.

This project is funded by DFID under the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
