Description
The objective of emPoWeReD is to increase the level of professional qualifications of Domestic Workers (DWs) in Tanzania, to enhance their capacity to advocate for their rights and to move out of informal work. In doing so, the project adopts a multi-sector strategies aiming at: a) obtaining the registration of an official training curriculum on domestic work from the Vocational and Education Training Authority of Tanzania. This curriculum has been tested by CVM in the past and has shown efficacy in improving the self-awareness of the trainees and improving their working conditions. The registration of the curriculum is paralleled by the training of teachers in public vocational training centers in the target regions to ensure its uptake. b) encourage the participation of Domestic Workers in Trade Unionsthrough the establishment of self-help groups linked with the national trade union CHODAWU in the target regions. These groups will receive specific training courses on their rights as workers and women. Furthermore, a rotative credit fund for training will be made available to allow DWs facing difficult economic conditions to access professional training courses. c) Increase the social visibility of DWs by means of communication events - also at political and academic level - that can push forward the agenda of the recognition of DWs’ rights. The duration of the project is 36 months and it will involve a total of over 150.000 beneficiaries. emPoWeReD is implemented by Comunità Volontari per il Mondo - CVM, in partnership with Tanzanian Trade Union CHODAWU, the Vocational and Education Training Authority (VETA), the Department of Gender Studies of the University of Dar Es Salaam and Cattolica University.
