Zanzibar Joint Programme

About this project

Joint Programme: Integrated Innovations for Sustainable Development: Empowering Vulnerable Communities in Kaskazini Unguja and Kaskazini Pemba, Zanzibar (ZJP). The JP targets vulnerable communities living in low-lying areas of Kaskazini Unguja and Kaskazini Pemba regions (28% of the total population of Zanzibar), most of whom depend on the blue economy for their livelihoods, food, and income. Both regions experience high basic needs and food poverty rates, high food insecurities, and high school dropout rates with low access to health, and WASH services. Kaskazini Pemba region has the highest proportion (72%) of multi-dimensionally poor people, and both regions have the worst indicators for malnutrition in children, contraceptive prevalence rates, and total fertility rates. The JP brings together 12 UN agencies within the 4 thematic areas, with FAO being the lead for Food System Transformation, UNEP leading the Climate Change and Adaptation theme/pillar, UNICEF leading the Ending Gender-based Violence pillar, and UNFPA leading the Human Capital pillar.
