Young people's issues are often described as cross-cutting across all sectors of development, but are their priorities truly being captured?
This is why it was important to consult young people directly through the VNR 2026 Youth Consultation. By creating a space for youth to share their experiences, priorities, challenges, and aspirations, the process contributes to the development of a Youth Report that reflects the voices of the majority population in Tanzania.
The report will help ensure that youth perspectives are represented during Tanzania's presentation at the High-Level Political Forum, contributing to a more inclusive development agenda and ensuring no one is left behind.

Among the key lessons from the Uchumi Wetu – Daraja la Amani project was that vocational skills alone are often not enough to create sustainable livelihoods.
In Nanyumbu and Tandahimba, the project complemented vocational training with practical exposure to local businesses, enabling learners to observe how enterprises operate and apply business principles alongside their technical skills. Through this approach, participants gained valuable knowledge in areas such as customer relations, pricing, and day-to-day business management.
This contributed to more inclusive economic opportunities for youth, women, and persons with disabilities, while reinforcing the role of skills development in building resilient and peaceful communities.

Why are youth voices important in the VNR 2026 process?
Youth are not merely beneficiaries of development outcomes—they are partners, contributors, and decision-makers in shaping its direction.
As Tanzania reviews progress on the Sustainable Development Goals and advances the implementation of DIRA 2050, meaningful youth participation strengthens the alignment between national priorities, the Five-Year Development Plan, and long-term development aspirations. It also helps identify key gaps and highlight emerging priorities that must be addressed in building a more inclusive future.
Youth voices are central to ensuring no one is left behind in this process.

Mr. Ally Mwamzola, Climate Resilience Lead at UNA Tanzania and Tanzania 4 Resilience Coordinator, spoke at the Tanzania Youth Development Forum on the importance of climate resilience, green skills, and education in shaping sustainable futures for young people. He emphasized that young people are not just beneficiaries of climate resilience efforts — they are key drivers of sustainable solutions. Climate resilience is no longer just an environmental issue; it is also about livelihoods, food security, and the future of young people. Discussions further highlighted the need to prepare youth for opportunities within the growing green economy and resilient communities.
This remains an important pillar within UNA Tanzania’s resilience work. The evidence is reflected in Mpwapwa and Morogoro projects, which continue to promote practical, community-based solutions and equip young people with the knowledge and skills needed to build a more resilient future.
