Ministry organizes Samia Ardhi Kliniki for women

A nationwide land clinic is about to hit all 26 mainland regions, and it is laser-focused on closing Tanzania's massive gender gap in property ownership.

Samia Ardhi Kliniki rollout

• Deputy Secretary General Lucy Kabyemela announced the initiative on February 27, 2026.
• Female-only staff will run the clinics across every mainland region.
• Land titles go directly to women who have reached the ownership stage.
• International Women's Day on March 8, 2026, is the catalyst behind the timing.

Why this matters

• Only about 28 percent of women in Tanzania currently hold land.
• Kabyemela flagged poor awareness of rights as a major barrier to ownership.
• President Samia Suluhu Hassan directed public servants to bring services closer to communities.
• The clinic's slogan is Woman; Your Right, Own It Now.

What women can expect

• Professional guidance on land-related issues is baked into the program.
• Kabyemela urged men to actively encourage their wives to participate.
• Obstacles blocking female land ownership are being systematically targeted.
• Education on ownership principles and land management rounds out the offering.
