Overview of our work in Tanzania

Overview of our work in Tanzania

We have been working in Tanzania since 2023, supporting youth-led networks and organisations to actively contribute to peacebuilding and conflict prevention in their communities. Tanzania faces the interconnected challenges of young people’s political and economic exclusion, poverty and violent extremism. Left unchecked, these issues have the potential to undermine peace and stability.  

Peaceful Change initiative is working along the Swahili Coast, including in Tanzania’s Mtwara and Tanga regions, to support youth-led networks and organisations to actively practice and disseminate learning on peacebuilding and conflict prevention. We do this through working in collaboration with academics to produce and share knowledge, by providing training, and by offering ongoing support and advice to partner organisations.  

Highlights of our work in Tanzania

Kujenga Amani Pamoja

The Kujenga Amani Pamoja project works in the Swahili Coast regions of Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique to support youth-led networks and organisations to actively practice and disseminate learning on peacebuilding and conflict prevention. It looks particularly at the ways in which young men and women can support peacebuilding and inclusion through cultural practices. The project takes place in a region that experiences high levels of youth unemployment and young people’s political marginalisation, creating grievances that are easily manipulated by violent extremist groups.
