Chama cha Uzazi na Malezi Bora Tanzania (UMATI)  Jobs 2024

Chama
cha Uzazi na Malezi Bora Tanzania (UMATI) is an autonomous,
non-political national NGO providing Sexual and Reproductive Health and
Rights (SRHR) information, education, and services in Tanzania. It has
been in operation since 1959 and became a leading national organization
providing quality youth-friendly SRH information and services,
particularly to young people and women. In 1973 UMATI became a full
member association of International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF)
where technical and core funds support was provided. By being a member
of IPPF, UMATI is internationally connected through experience sharing
with other IPPF member associations.

UMATI is envisioning to
see a Tanzania where people are free to choose and exercise their Sexual
and Reproductive Health and Rights without discrimination in gender,
sex, and age. The visioning process of UMATI highlighted the need to
integrate “without discrimination” as a recurring theme as well as an
organizational value statement. “Freedom of choice” was agreed as a
paramount inclusion at the end that UMATI would love to see by doing its
core business.

UMATI’s Mission Statement is to champion SRHR
and provide information and services targeting the young and
underserved. In coming up with the Mission Statement, cognizance was put
on the strategic position of UMATI as a leading SRHR service provider
in Tanzania. This was eventually replaced by “champion” recognizing the
need to lead not only by the provision of services but also by enabling
other service providers including capacity building to local CSOs
partners in the country to champion SRHR through their advocacy
initiatives. UMATI strives for structural
poverty reduction by improving the health of people in the country
regardless of gender and political or religious beliefs, with priorities
being given to the poorest communities and hard-to-reach populations.
