WOMEN TO WATCH CONCEPT NOTE

Capture.PNG

Women to Watch (W2W) is a shadowing program for young female professionals and practitioners in Tanzania, where young women shadow more senior women at prominent positions in the communities where they live and work. W2W is an experimental project by the CityLab Dar es Salaam.

Broadly, the goals of W2W are to strengthen the capacity of Tanzanian women in both formal and informal sectors, while gathering under-recorded and under-analyzed data about gender, labor, and urban transformation, and disseminating it to broader audiences.

GOALS

• Exploring approaches and methods to generate gender-based data in urban Tanzania;

• Training the eye of the young female Tanzanians to learn, through observation and shadowing, how their senior counterparts operate in their own contexts and environments, negotiating city space and navigating daily life and work obstacles, while at the same time creating an opportunity for senior Tanzanian women to reflect about their role in (re) shaping their own communities;

• Disseminating the new knowledge that this experiment will create, through the use of non-written media, such as oral history and short movies.

THE METHOD

Women to Watch will pair up senior and young working women, being the former someone who plays a prominent role in her community and work environment, and the latter a shadow-er who will explore and learn how her more senior counterpart operates in the urban space; discuss collectively the meaning of her findings, and; disseminate these to broader audiences.

The CityLab research team, in collaboration with key partners, will run a pilot program consisting of 4 women to watch and 8 watchers. The CityLab will facilitate training to shadow, collect data, and develop learning exercises focusing on gender-based knowledge production. The CityLab will also monitor shadowing activities during the course of the pilot, evaluate results, and facilitate broader dissemination.
