Increased lifesaving and protection interventions for Persons with Specific Needs (PSNs) among Burundian refugees and asylum seekers in Nduta and Mtendeli camps, North Western Tanzania HelpAge aims to provide needs based, targeted interventions that will address the protection concerns of people with special needs (PSN) in Nduta and Mtendeli camps.

Our actions prioritise activities that prevent and respond to violence such as:
(1) providing physical safety and security 
(2) mental health initiatives and psychosocial support and 
(3) cash-based interventions for self reliance and meeting chronic needs.

HelpAge will continue to strengthen the community structures that include 33 zone leaders, 334 village leaders, 2,978 cluster leaders in the camp linking with the PSNs leadership structure, including 208 Older People's Associations and Persons with Disabilities committees to ensure PSN general rights, voice and well-being are upheld. This will also be conducted in the host community as
part of coexistence and an external platform that will be engaging with the government on behalf of refugee PSNs to advocate and ensure protection of PSNs.

The response approach will be guided by the community-based approach (CBA), humanitarian inclusion and protection standards and the Core Humanitarian Standards on quality and accountability. HelpAge will continue to undertake a multi-sectoral approach and collaboratively work with other agencies involved in the response, to ensure that PSN issues are mainstreamed into their responses and avoid duplication with other agencies. Strengthen community-based protection and psychosocial support through:
Awareness raising on needs of PSNs, establishment of community-based leadership discussions models representing and inclusive of different PSNs linking with camp management and government district councils to set up community assemblies for PSNs participation in decisions that affect them Organize and ensure all actors participate in 10 celebrations/commemorations of international days as platforms to raise awareness, lobby and advocate on PSNs' protection issues. Increase access to appropriate rehabilitation services, continuum of care, support, and access to quality care based on the heightened needs of PSNs. This will be done through strengthening community-based rehabilitation (CBR) services by supporting functional assessments, providing rehabilitative and physiotherapy services, and provision of mobility and assistive aids for PSNs

Impacts and Implications of gender mainstreaming in the rural transport sector in Tanzania with particular reference to women with multi-dimensional vulnerabilities This project will study gender dimensions of rural transport. There is a growing body of evidence on multiple and accumulated discrimination affecting women, including gender relations affecting mobility. These are well known but rarely prioritised in transport planning and investment. A survey conducted in Tanzania on disability estimated 20% of persons with disabilities encounter barriers when accessing health services. A participatory research by HelpAge International, ADD  and Sightsavers (2016), in Kibaha district, confirmed the multiple barriers faced by older women and women with disabilities. In addition, studies indicate that 70% of the goods transported in Africa are head-loaded, mostly by women, with older women experiencing disproportionate disadvantages due to load carrying with negative consequences to their health.  Widespread use of motorcycles and mobile phones is improving mobility and communication but ownership, access and use vary substantially between older men and women. In 2003, Tanzania adopted a National Transport Policy to mainstream gender in rural transport. The Policy recognised 75% of women's time is consumed by walking long distances to and from farm, negatively affecting their productivity. The overall aim of the study is to assess whether gender mainstreaming in rural transport has had a transformative effect on women facing multiple forms of discrimination and exclusion. Specifically, it will answer the following questions: i) are women facing intersecting inequalities benefiting from the gender mainstreaming programmes? Ii) what are the transformative changes that older women, women with disabilities and widows would like to see through the gender mainstreaming programmes? Iii) what are some of the constraints and factors facilitating transformative changes for women facing multiple levels of exclusion in rural transport programmes, and iv) what disparities (if any) women with intersecting inequalities have in access, use and benefit from the mobile technology that is bridging the rural transport and communication gap? Delivery and dissemination of a a study that: i) 	Explores the gender transformative effects of rural transport programmes on women with intersectional marginalisation. ii) identifies the most impactful transformative changes for women of all ages, at all levels. iii) Assesses if changes were achieved through gender mainstreaming in rural transport programmes. iv) 	Identifies enabling and constraining factors in rural transport programmes.

Towards healthy ageing: new shape of community-based healthcare support. The project “Towards healthy ageing: new shape of community-based healthcare support” is a health-care initiative based on the experience gained by two rural communities, Satul Nou/Cimislia and Cazangic/Leova with the scale-up to two new sites – Balti and Comrat cities. The rural communities act as mentors to the new sites and share their skills, knowledge and lessons learned through regular cooperation in the project and during the study visits to their communities. The overall aim of the project is to further improve community-based health care in response to limited access to health care of poor and vulnerable older people in four communities of Moldova. The action addresses the needs of vulnerable older people and their family members in managing their health, with focus on non-communicable diseases. The project works through local groups of volunteers who act as intermediaries between older beneficiaries and service providers. The project consolidates the capacities of the groups of volunteers and local key actors to better support older people in managing their chronic health condition in old age.  
The project has been designed to contribute to wider, cross-cutting questions of health-care provision by including, in particular, gender equality and rights of older men and women, children left in the care of the elderly and the disabled or bed-ridden older persons particularly living alone. The project also includes other vulnerable groups such as older people from underrepresented minority groups living in Balti and Comrat who are assessed as vulnerable in the accessing medical care or social services provided by the social worker. The two new sites have been deliberately identified as locations with high proportions of different under-represented minorities such as Ukrainians (28%), Russians (27%), Bulgarians (4,8%) Jewish (0,36%) and other ethnic groups. 
The project methodology is based on bottom-up approach through peer-to-peer support at community level, where older volunteers support other vulnerable older people in managing their chronic condition and raising awareness about management of non-communicable diseases in old age. To increase awareness and understanding of non-communicable diseases, management of chronic conditions and health-promotion for vulnerable older people. To increase capacity of civil society networks and state authorities to provide effective community-based health-care support to vulnerable older people. To support advocacy work of older people lobbying local and national governments to improve access to health-care for older people in Moldova.
