Context:
We
are the BBC’s international charity, and we believe in the power of
media and communication for good. We work across more than 20 of the
world’s poorest and most fragile countries, supporting the independent
media essential to democracy and development. Each year, our projects
and programmes reach 100 million people facing poverty, inequality and
insecurity with information they can trust, helping to improve health,
bridge divides, challenge prejudice, and save and change lives. We are
independently funded and rely on the valued support of our donors and
partners. We deliver a portfolio of media projects in Tanzania and we
work to ensure that our projects are delivered on time to the highest
possible standard, in accordance with BBC editorial values and BBC Media
Action best practice.

The Broadcasting for Change project
provides a unique space in the national media for young people to
discuss important issues on their own terms and in their own language.
The project focuses on supporting young women and girls to make informed
decisions regarding their social, economic and political rights. It
aims to build women’s and girls’ agency and contribute to long-term
social and behaviour change around the rights of women and girls in
Tanzania. It aims to do this by; increasing the audiences’ understanding
of women’s rights and the benefits of gender equality, building
people’s confidence and motivation to support women and uphold their
rights, increasing the use of existing support services and challenging
discriminatory and harmful gender norms.

Project outputs include:
A
weekly national radio programmes focused on women’s rights and gender
equality produced for young women and men, with corresponding social
media platforms

producers from partner radio stations, to build their capacity to design
and create gender-transformative media content that supports the
social, economic and political rights of young women and girls

to help us understand the barriers that young people (and particularly
young women and girls) face to participating fully and actively in civic
life in Tanzania
Seeking to establish connections with locally
available resources and services that support the social, economic and
political rights of women and girls.

Alongside the existing
outputs, the B4C team has the exciting opportunity to launch a new
national radio show aimed at young men and women aged 25-35 and other
influencers of social norms and attitudes in Tanzania. This new show is
called Tuyajenge (Let’s Build It) which seeks to replicate the sound and

content.
