Message:	Agenda ya Watoto Children represent more than half of Tanzania’s population. The Children’s Agenda asks all leaders to make a commitment to these ten key investments that will transform the lives and the futures of the nation’s youngest citizens and ensure a more prosperous future for everyone. The Children’s Agenda ("Ajenda ya Watoto") is the result of broad consultation with children across Tanzania and collaboration between the leading children’s organizations in the country and the government. The Agenda reflects the top ten investments that need to be addressed by the nation’s leaders in order to ensure the development of a nation that meets the rights and aspirations of all citizens, including children.

Paulo Herman Sulle Singida 211. Theresia Emanueli Visenyi Manyara Every week we will share the situation of children in Tanzania and call upon you to demand action from all leaders. 1. Invest to Save the Lives of Children and Women DID YOU KNOW? >> More than 400 children die every day; over 110 are less than one month old. >> Every hour a woman also dies as a result of complications during pregnancy or childbirth. >> Affordable solutions that can save thousands of lives are within reach of leaders and communities. Leaders at all levels can help to save lives of children and women by using their influence and capacity to inspire to ensure increased budgets, better monitoring and accountability and collective action. 2. Invest in Good Nutrition DID YOU KNOW? >> More than a third of Tanzanian children do not reach their physical and mental potential because of malnutrition. >> Malnutrition is a cause in more than one third of child deaths. Over 40,000 Tanzanian children under-five will die in 2010 from causes related to malnutrition. Leaders can >> Ensure that inexpensive fortified foods become widely available in Tanzania. >> Ensure that the health sector is accountable for delivering nutrition services for children and women. 3. Invest in Safe Water, Hygiene and Sanitation DID YOU KNOW? >> 4 out of 5 schools have no functioning hand-washing facilities, 3 out of 5 schools have no on-site water supply, and many health facilities are in a similar critical situation. >> Improving hygiene and sanitation in schools will reduce illness, improve attendance and help to ensure more children, especially girls, complete their education. Water supplies and toilets in health facilities are vital for reducing infections and saving lives. Leaders can >> Ensure that all schools have functioning hand washing facilities, toilets and hygiene education. >> Ensure that every financed water project at village level includes water supply for schools and health facilities. 4. Invest in Early Childhood Development DID YOU KNOW? >> Early childhood programmes are at the forefront in the fight against poverty. >> Early childhood programmes focused on the poorest families help parents to provide a better start for their children and help close the gap between rich and poor. >> Investments in early childhood give a seven-fold return and are much more cost-efficient than investing in remedial programmes later in a child’s life. Leaders can >> Give parents in the poorest communities the help they need to make sure their children get the best start in life. >> Support community-based parenting and early childhood development programmes to help ensure children grow up healthy, well nourished and well-prepared for school. 5. Invest in Quality Education for all Children DID YOU KNOW? >> Only just over half of students pass the primary school leaving exam. >> Less than one in ten students in rural areas enroll in secondary school. >> Well-educated school leavers are essential for sound economic development. Leaders can >> Make a substantial increase in funding for primary and secondary education, especially for teacher training, teacher salaries and incentives, for more textbooks, school buildings and non-formal education. >> Invest in the national in-service teacher training programme to reverse currently dismal school results. This will introduce more active child-centred teaching and learning methods and reduce over-crowded classrooms. >> Provide incentives to teachers working in difficult or remote areas. 6. Invest to Make Schools Safe DID YOU KNOW? >> Too many children experience fear, humiliation and beatings that undermine their ability to learn and leads many children to drop-out early. >> A reduction in school violence and improvements in discipline, student-teacher relations and school attendance can be achieved by integrating and expanding sport in schools. >> School councils enable students to participate in resolving conflicts, learn about and exercise their rights as well as their responsibilities to the school community. Leaders can >> Protect children from violence in schools by passing and enforcing laws against school violence. >> Ensure those responsible for keeping children safe deliver on their promises and fulfill their duties. >> Support the establishment of student councils and elected student representation in school governance in primary and secondary schools. 7. Invest to Prevent HIV and AIDS in Infants and Adolescent Girls DID YOU KNOW? >> One in every ten new infections occurs in babies even though more than 90 percent of these infections could be prevented.>> Girls are also much more vulnerable to HIV infection than boys. >> Every new infection in a teenager represents a failure to provide a young person with the necessary knowledge, information, skills and services that will enable them to protect themselves. Leaders can >> Work with all partners to expand services and treatment that will virtually eliminate mother to child transmission of HIV by 2015. >> Ensure all children with HIV and AIDS get the treatment they need. >> Pledge significant resources to protect young people, especially adolescent girls, from HIV and AIDS by supporting the national HIV prevention programme. 8. Invest to Reduce Teenage Pregnancy DID YOU KNOW? >> In 2007, over 8,000 girls dropped out of school due to pregnancy and the number seems to be growing every year. >> Early pregnancy endangers both the young mothers and their infants. >> Reducing pregnancy and ensuring the rights of all girls to education is vital in the fight against poverty. Leaders can >> Help girls protect themselves by increasing their knowledge of reproductive health issues and high-risk behaviour. >> Ensure boys are also involved in programmes that aim to reduce teenage pregnancy. >> Help to reduce poverty by ensuring schools support and implement the new guidelines that enable girls who have become mothers to continue their education. >> Expand vocational training for all out-of-school children. For girls this can help reduce poverty and the economic dependence that sometimes leads to high risk behaviour. Coming soon... 9. Invest to Protect Children from Violence, Abuse, Exploitation 10.
