Tanzania Early Childhood Development Network (TECDEN) is a national umbrella Network of Early Childhood Development (ECD) Civil Society Organizations working to promote Early Childhood Development in Tanzania by influencing change in policies, programmes and practices. Our vision is to see a society where all children are developmentally on track to reach their full potential. Over the years, TECDEN has recorded significant results and successes https://www.tecden.or.tz/.
In 2019 TECDEN conducted an organisation review to assess the organisation’s strengths and areas with the need of improvement on it operations systems. After the assessment, one of the recommendation was a need to have new strategic focus and interventions where it was recommended TECDEN to develop a strategic plan primarily to identify the organization niche and stipulate the key priorities to be implemented within 3 year’s time (2023/2024-2025/2026). TECDEN has been conducting its operations on activity basis since 2019 after the previous Strategic Plan came to an end in 2018.
The intended Strategy aimed to incorporate both programmatic and institutional strengthening aspects-for internal operations, accountability and membership networking. The process of developing this strategic plan will be critical to revitalizing engagement of ECD stakeholders directly with TECDEN at national and sub national level, and will fundamentally contribute to its visibility and credibility. TECDEN is therefore seeking a short term consultant to facilitate the development process of the new Strategic Plan (2023/2024-2025/2026).
