the submission of the Charter to the United Nations General Assembly through a letter dated 6 July 1990. The CSAR underlines challenges such as access to information, communication barriers, harmonisation of various participatory processes, and capacity building as constraints preventing government from full compliance with the Charter. 860. The CSAR notes that Tanzania acceded to the UN Declaration on the Right to Development on 11 June 1976 and took positive steps, at both national and international levels, to attain its international commitments. However, Tanzania’s efforts to achieve the Convention’s objective of ensuring that every human being is given an opportunity to participate, contribute to, and enjoy economic, social and political development as their inalienable fundamental human right has not been smooth. There are a number of challenges in fully complying with the Convention, including having the necessary capacity to implement national and international frameworks, and lacking adequate financial resources which hinders capacity to implement certain programmes. 861. The CSAR indicates that Tanzania adopted/ratified other international and regional standards and codes such as the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC), the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention on the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour, the United Nations Millennium Declaration, the Constitutive Act of the Africa Union, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA) for Women’s Empowerment. In addition, the Child Development Policy the National Health Care Policy, the Primary Education Development Programme (PEDP, 2002-2006), and other policy measures including the Family Development Policy, were adopted with a view to taking care of the development of children and the empowerment of women. 862. The CSAR concludes that despite progress towards compliance with Tanzania’s international obligations, there are still enormous problems and challenges to fully comply with the spirit of these codes and standards. These challenges include children with disabilities, the harmonisation of various national laws, technical and financial capacity for gender mainstreaming, inadequate national and local machineries for advancement of women, and the lack of gender disaggregated data to measure progress in gender empowerment.
