Abstract
The study rationalized how development projects implemented through religion engagement (RE) implicates satisfactorily attaining gender equality. Reorganized establishment based on secondary data analyzed using qualitative and quantitative techniques found how social development projects implemented through RE increased gender equality, thus reducing gender gap index. And this is evidenced by how the gender gap index in Tanzania declined from 0.652 to 0.537 between 1995 and 2017. However, it was high, as by 2022 the gender gap index recorded 0.72 in Tanzania. This attributed by several factors, including agricultural and livestock development projects, increased gender inequality as men dominate more than women, and causal factors are that women lack capital and are inaccessible to credit services as they lack mortgage assets. The conclusion shows development projects implemented through RE are significantly increasing gender equality, but a gap remains a crucial problem facing Tanzanians and recommendations geared to policy makers to employ effective policies and adopt practical modalities.
