Clean cooking access in Tanzania is improving, but the gap remains urgent.

From 6.9% in 2021 to 20.3% in 2025, progress is clear. Yet nearly 80% of households still rely on biomass such as firewood and charcoal. This affects health, forests, and livelihoods.

There is a need for effective interventions, strategic investment, and strong partnerships within Tanzania and globally.

Government, development partners, private sector, financiers, innovators, and civil society all have a role to play in scaling solutions that are affordable, accessible, and sustainable.

Together we can work on scaling clean cooking technologies, expanding financing for households and enterprises, strengthening partnerships, and supporting policy implementation.

Reaching 80% clean cooking access by 2034 is possible through coordinated action.

This is the time to act, invest, and partner for impact.

NAFASI YA WANAWAKE KATIKA UCHUMI TANZANIA:

Wanawake nchini Tanzania wana mchango mkubwa katika kuendesha uchumi wa nchi, hususani kupitia kilimo, biashara, na ujasiriamali. Kwa mwaka 2024, ushiriki wa wanawake katika nguvu kazi ulifikia takribani 80.2%, ukiashiria nafasi yao muhimu katika uzalishaji. Hata hivyo, kiwango cha ukosefu wa ajira kwa wanawake ni 7.5% ikilinganishwa na 4.9% kwa wanaume, huku zaidi ya 94.6% ya ajira zikiwa kwenye sekta isiyo rasmi. Sekta ya kilimo pekee inaajiri takribani 54.2% ya wafanyakazi, ambapo wanawake bado wanachangia kwa kiwango kikubwa.

Takribani 23.4% ya wanawake vijana hawapo katika ajira, elimu au mafunzo.

Ni wakati wa kuchukua hatua za pamoja. Tuimarishe upatikanaji wa mitaji, ujuzi, ardhi, na fursa rasmi ili kuharakisha ukuaji jumuishi. Karibu

Women are driving Tanzania’s economy, contributing strongly across agriculture, trade, and entrepreneurship. In 2024, female labour participation reached about 80.2%, with women actively engaged in productive sectors. However, unemployment among women stands at 7.5% compared to 4.9% for men, and over 94.6% of jobs are within the informal economy. Agriculture employs about 54.2% of workers, with many women playing a central role. Around 23.4% of young women are not in employment, education, or training.

Now is the time for collective action. Expand access to finance, skills, land, and formal opportunities to accelerate inclusive growth.
