Evidence snapshot for Tanzania
Tanzania has deployed several large-scale digital and institutional initiatives with measurable reach. Shule Direct reaches 3 million+ secondary students across all 25 regions, while Tanzania's e-IDSR system cleared 85% of a 15,000-alert disease-surveillance backlog and reduced processing time to near-instant. Women's political representation is notably strong by African standards—women hold 37.4% of National Assembly seats, with 113 allocated through constitutional quotas—though direct election of women MPs remains low at 10.2%. The evidence shown does not quantify outcomes in health, conservation, or livelihood sectors beyond the seaweed initiative, which raised average farmer income from US$30 to US$80 monthly for around 300 women.
