Tanga Youth and Development Association (TAYODEA) is a democratic umbrella organisation representing the interests of youth in the Tanga Region. It was founded in 2000 with the aim of engaging youth in social, political and economic development activities, by seeking to strengthen youth participation in decision-making processes, build youth leadership, and create accountability.

TAYODEA operates in the entire Tanga region, made up of the Tanga Municipal, Muheza, Mkinga, Korogwe, Handeni, Pangani, Kilindi and Lushoto districts. MSTZAADK’s partnership with TAYODEA is based around activities in the Kilindi District.
MSTZAADK supports TAYODEA in helping to establish the Kilindi Youth Parliament and to assist its democratic elections whereby 30 local representatives, two from each ward (a male and a female) are elected into the youth parliament. The partnership also involves the training of young leaders and political awareness-raising among youth, through initiatives such as mass media campaigns. Finally, the partnership is involved in a range of complementary activities to improve youth employment and working conditions, including skills training and basic marketing.
By 2012, the partnership aims to have established a functional Youth Parliament, fifteen functional Youth Reflection Groups, and two hundred more youth employed in the Kilindi District by 2012.
