Policy on Women in Development in Tanzania

Tanzania believes in equality and rights of each person and wishes to have a society in which an individual is assured of equality, justice, freedom and the opportunity to participate and use to the fullest extent one's ability and talents for community affairs, leadership, culture, production and to benefit from the social services available in order to develop and raise the standard of living. The government of Tanzania has made quite a number of efforts in promoting women, however, in spite of all these efforts being made by the government the majority of the women are still not satisfied.

An Analysis of National Tax Collections and Value Added Tax (VAT) with a gender perspective.
Dar es Salaam,Tanzania,1998

Paper analyses the tax collection system in Tanzania and introduction of Value Added Tax and its implications with gender perspective. Analysis is done in order to see the effects of taxes on gender as well as to strengthen lobbying and advocacy skills for women's rights and gender equality in resource allocation from government budgets. Women and men are equal before the law, but in practice women still have to take responsibility for most of the work in agriculture and formal household and child up bringing activities. These are not valued as contributions to the economy.
