The objectives of the Joint Programme are to enhance the social and economic status of women and adolescent girls in Ikungi district, Singida region and Msalala district, Shinyanga Region through: 1) economic empowerment of women and female youth farmers; and 2) enhancing the capacity of sub-national institutions and community to prevent and respond to Gender-based Violence (GBV) including harmful practices.
