The most marginalized and vulnerable rural women and girls exercise their rights and participate in local and national decision-making, as active empowered citizens
Local and national governance systems take responsibility for providing quality services that meet the needs of, and are available to, the most marginalised and vulnerable women and girlsx

Process
• P-Shift Workshop• LRSP process, workshop, finalization• IG strategies
– Signature program strategies support but do not drive or determine CARE Tz IG strategies
• Envisioning new structure• Responding to funding opportunities • Teamwork, meetings, teamwork, meet . . .
Examples of program integration
• SAGE: Supporting Adolescent Girls’ Empowerment– Donor interest in demonstrating synergies of 3
SPs in one location.– C/Tz created SAGE to reflect all 3 SPs in one
project.– Structurally it is currently one project sharing
space with other education and VSL projects.
Example 2: WEZESHA
• Anonymous donor interest in supporting CARE Tanzania programs.
• CARE Tz solicited ideas from senior program staff.
• Winning idea: create a new program in Kasulu to build on strong NRE and VSL work to create program addressing all three Impact Groups: WAGRA, SAG and WGDNR

Evolving P-Shift Understanding
– Initially understood as primarily characterized by sectoral identity: health, education, environment with microfinance cross cutting.
– Then seen as geographically delineated. IG1 in Eastern Arc mountains and south, IG2 in Mwanza and IG3 in Kahama.
– Increasingly seen as IG focussed, overlapping and integrated.
– Combining monitoring and evaluation resources and events
– Making time for teamwork and meetings
P-Shift Challenges
• Aligning sufficient funding to cover key program elements over time.
• Ensuring technical quality with diverse activities.
• Program coordination across complexities, internally and externally
