Abstract

Part of the Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) East Africa initiative, the policy brief recommends establishing a community of practice, hosting an annual research gathering, and establishing an online research hub to share learning, strengthen the uptake of evidence, and enhance coordination between stakeholders. Women in Tanzania have among the highest birth rates in the world and almost two in five girls marry before their 18th birthday, reducing their chances of higher education. While poverty has diminished in recent years, 45.1% of rural female-headed households were poor (2014/2015).
