Background
Tanzania has sustained a relatively high economic growth over the last
decade, averaging 6–7% on an annual basis (World Bank 2019), and
attracted solid foreign direct investment of about $3 billion in 2018
(NBS 2019). Some of the main growth drivers included the mining sector
in 2017 (BoT 2018).
In the past decade, the aid landscape has
changed quite significantly in the country where direct budget support
has shown a declining trend and at the same time there is a shift from
aid dependency to increasing self-reliance with the expanding of the
Government’s tax base and the growing role played by the non-traditional
donors. In addition, the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 has placed
additional emphasis on expanding and deepening partnerships to mobilize
the necessary resources for realizing the Global Goals in every
country. Alternative sources of finance such as green and blue bonds,
blended finance and impact investing are currently being explored.
Within this context and informed by the Kaberuka Process, the
Government of Tanzania (GoT) and the Development Partners (DPs) agreed
on a new Development Cooperation Framework (DCF) in 2017 which forms the
basis for effective development dialogue with potential new DPs, opens
up development financing opportunities and enhances mutual
accountability between Government and the DPs. This has contributed to a
wider approach on development cooperation and indeed the traditional
development partnership, going beyond donor harmonization and alignment.
The Development Partners Group (DPG) promotes the implementation of the
agreed DCF in Tanzania with a view to support national efforts to
achieve the country’s growth and poverty reduction goals. Formalized in
2004, the DPG has been facilitating coordination and harmonization and
alignment of DPs’ policy priorities within the framework of dialogue
between Government and the DPs. There is a DPG Main Group and DPG
sectoral groups with the first being co-chaired permanently by the UN
Resident Coordinator and on a rotational basis by a bilateral agency.
In 2016-17 UNDP provided secretariat support to the DPG Main and the
DPG co-chairs in the form of the DPG Secretariat. The DPG Secretariat
played a facilitation role, advising the DPG Co-Chairs and contributing,
including substantively, to a renewed strategic dialogue between the
DPG and the GoT, in particular the Ministry of Finance and Planning
(MoFP). This was mainly related to the Kaberuka process and the new
Development Cooperation Framework. In doing so, the DPG Secretariat
contributed to a representative and consensus- oriented engagement
between Government and its bilateral and multilateral DPs. In addition,
the DPG Secretariat provided secretariat support to several DPG working
groups, including the Poverty Monitoring Group, the Public Financial
Management DPG and the Environment DPG. With regards to the latter,
this assistance contributed to advancing their coordination agenda and
harmonization of efforts to support the Government priorities.

Since then, UNDP has continued to support the MoFP in both mainland and
Zanzibar to lead the planning, budgeting and reporting functions for
the national and global frameworks under the ongoing ‘Enhancing Results
for Development Results and Effectiveness’ Project. Up to late 2018 the
former UNDP Head of the DPG Secretariat was also leading this project.
The Project has among others supported the data collection, analysis
and visualization for Tanzania’s Volunteer National Review (VNR) which
was presented in 2019 at the High-Level Meeting in New York.
UNDP
supported the development of a new National Coordination Framework for
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which is in the final stages
of government approval, it includes among others an SDG National
Coordination Task Force whose Secretariat is led by the MoFP and
Zanzibar Planning Commission. The DPG together with the UN Resident
Coordinator’s Office and other key stakeholders are foreseen to play a
key role as members of this Coordination Task Force.
UNDP, in response to the request from MoFP, will provide support to the
Government in implementing the SDGs Coordination Framework through the
ongoing ‘Enhancing Results for Development Results and Effectiveness’
Project.
In October 2019, the DPG Co-Chairs indicated to UNDP the need to continue this strategic support to the DPG. UNDP has therefore committed to reinstate its support to the DPG Secretariat and to re-establish the P4 Position of Development Management Specialist with a contribution of $100,000. There is a balance of $150,000 that needs to be filled by development partners and would be very welcome.

Background
In
2017, the UN system in Tanzania embarked on area-based joint
programming through the launching of the UN Kigoma Joint Programme
(KJP). The KJP cuts across multiple sectors and aims to contribute to
the Government’s efforts in improving development and human security in
the Kigoma region. The programme, involves 17 different UN Agencies and
was developed in cooperation with the regional secretariat and district
authorities, based on the development needs of Kigoma and the
comparative advantages of the UN in Tanzania.
By
supporting the host population as well as refugees and migrants, the
programme forms part of the New Way of Working (NWOW). It focuses on
joint analysis, planning and interventions to achieve common outcomes
that reduce risks and vulnerabilities, and contributes to a future in
which no one is left behind. The humanitarian-development nexus is
supported by linking together the UN’s existing response to refugees and
migrants with an increased focus on development for host communities.
The
17 participating UN agencies are cooperating across 7 themes which are:
Sustainable energy and environment; Youth and women’s economic
empowerment; Ending violence against women and children; Education with a
focus on girls and young women; WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene);
Agriculture with a focus on developing local markets; and Health, HIV
and Nutrition
The
KJP is embedded in UNDAP II, the UN Development Assistance Plan for
Tanzania, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals and the Great
Lakes Regional Framework strategy. It is aligned with the Tanzania
Government’s 5-year plan and the regional priorities for Kigoma.
The
UN Area Coordinator (UNAC) coordinates development interventions
carried out by UN Agencies under Kigoma Joint Programme in the Region.
He/she represents the UN, and specifically the UN Resident Coordinator
and UN Country Management Team, on development issues in the region.

initiating programmes that boost women’s confidence and capacity to
lead, enhancing their campaign strategies and techniques,; (iii)
transform gender norms so that women are accepted as legitimate and
effective leaders including through developing campaigns that sensitize
the media and electorate on the need for women in public life at all
