Securing Your Family’s Future (SYFF) for Men in Tanzania – Most Significant Change Stories
Securing Your Family’s Future (SYFF) course for men was an interactive, gender-transformative course aimed at changing behaviors and mediating social norms related to women’s land and property rights. This pilot course was designed to facilitate a shift in peer norms among men on women’s land and property rights, particularly men’s knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, future intentions, and perceptions.
Wellspring Philanthropic Fund initiated this effort in 2016 to improve women’s land tenure in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. In Tanzania, the SYFF Course for Men was developed in partnership with the Pastoral Women’s Council (PWC). The course included a series of six two-hour sessions over three to six weeks using a variety of interactive teaching methods.
The SYFF course was evaluated at baseline and endline to ascertain men’s knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, future intentions, and perceptions of peer norms related to women’s land and property rights.
