The Development Partners Group on Gender Equality (DPG GE) was established in 2007 to support the Government of Tanzania (GoT) and other key actors in promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE) to achieve the gender related results identified in national policies and strategies.    

At policy level, this requires working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MHCDGEC) and Ministry of Labour, Empowerment, Elderly, Youth, Women and Children (MLEEYWC), the Gender Machineries in Mainland and Zanzibar mandated with the overall responsibility of coordinating gender issues. At the implementation level, it will require close collaboration and linkage with strategic stakeholders such as: Gender Mainstreaming Working Group-Macro Policy (GMWG-MP) and Gender Mainstreaming Technical Working Group (GMTWG), National Women Rights Organizations (WROs), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), private sector and other Sector Working Groups (SWGs).
