Tanzania - Institutional Support Project for Good Governance - Phase II

The proposed Institutional Support Project for Good Governance phase II (ISPGG II) is designed to build enhanced capacity, accountability and integrity in the management of public resources, through (i) the strengthening of the capacity of integrity and accountability institutions and (ii) more effective economic policy management. The rationale for this second phase is based on the need to consolidate the gains attained in the first phase, particularly in terms of improving the rate of conformity to the Public Procurement Act. The project will have two main components: (A) Improving budget credibility and transparency; and (B) Enhancing economic policy management. Under the first component, the proposed project will build capacity in the areas of public procurement and audit; whereas in the second component the focus will be in building capacity within the area of managing the PFMRP and improving the business environment in general. The expected outcome under the first component is to improve tracking, monitoring and value for money in public procurement and audit; whereas the expected outcome under the second component is to attain more effective economic policy management.
