Restless Development (formerly SPW) Phase II Restless Development ( formerly SPW) Phase II Restless Development is a national youth led development agency in Tanzania. The Embassy of Sweden has been working in partnership with the agency for a significant number of years, with a number of results achieved during the period as documented in a Programme External Evaluation for the period 2008 – 2011. The objectives of the programme are:
1. Young people will take up a significant role in policy making processes that affect their lives.
2. Government is contributing to a supportive environment where young people take responsibility for their Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) choices.
3. Young people will make responsible decisions regarding their SRH.
4. Young people will have improved lifeskills and livelihoods opportunities.

Restless development is therefore requesting a cost extension of SEK 4,700,000 for programme activities and SEK 650,000 for final evaluation purposes. The critical extension will build on the strong foundation that has been created, align to the Restless Development 5 year strategy that ends in 2015 and add value to development programming in the country. The programming will focus on delivery of results, shaping and supporting the implementation of youth focused policy and practices across civil society, development partners, private and government. Project Summary
Restless Development is a national youth led development agency in Tanzania. The Embassy of Sweden has been working in partnership with the agency for a significant number of years, with a number of results achieved during the period as documented in a Programme External Evaluation for the period 2008 – 2011. Restless development is therefore requesting a cost extension of SEK 4,700,000 for programme activities. SEK 650,000 has been set aside for evaluation purposes from original agreement.

The programming will focus on entrepneurship among young people, delivery of results, shaping and supporting the implementation of youth focused policy and practices across civil society, development partners, private and government.  
The programme will be implemented through the following strategies:
1.Promotion of youth to youth strategies in peer education, counselling and capacity building
2.Combined grass roots delivery with policy influencing, giving young people an authentic voice and role at all levels on the development issues facing them and their communities
3.Enabling young professionals to lead the organisation from community to board level
4.Efficient and equity based approaches on use of financial resources.

The intervention intends to significantly upscale the capacity of young Tanzanians to professionally and technically participate in development policy processes from local to national level, in order that their participation delivers improved and more accountable development outcomes for young people and their communities.   Furthermore, the intervention will support the youth sector, CSOs, government and private sector to understand and respond to proven models and take action to improve policy implementation at grassroots level. It will also facilitate young people to make responsible decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive health, entrepneurship, as well as through strategic partnerships strengthen young people’s access to financial services and young people’s engagement in policy making to ensure that the strategies are youth friendly.
