The Strengthening Legal Rights, Access to Justice and Livelihood Improvement in Siha District, Tanzania initiative builds on ENVIROCARE's previous Legal Rights and Literacy Programme in Kilimanjaro, which identified persistent challenges in land governance, access to justice, and women's economic empowerment. The project is implemented under the Transformative Partnerships Programme (2025–2028), a strategic initiative that strengthens civil society organizations (CSOs) as key drivers of democracy, human rights, and climate resilience. It is supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) through ForumCiv Sweden.
