PREAMBLE The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania has endorsed the

Plan and Budget Guidelines for the medium term 2010/11 – 1012/13. The

guidelines are to be used by the MDAs, Regions and Local Government

Authorities in preparing well informed medium term plans and budgets for the

period 2010/11 – 2012/13 and the Annual Plan and Budget for 2010/11 and for

the outer years, 2011/12 and 2012/13.

The document is organized in ten chapters which are integrated and

synchronized in order to make them whole-some. Each chapter begins with a

review of what transpired during the past year and briefly points out

achievements registered in the course of implementation as well as challenges

being faced.

Chapter One raises the curtain by a careful treatment of issues of

macroeconomic relevance, including economic growth, inflation, the performance

of Tanzania and its trade partners in respect of international trade, domestic

revenue collection, to mention but the more important ones. The chapter

concludes by providing projections of main economic indicators which will serve

to guide public actions in the medium term.

A review of the plan and implementation of MKUKUTA for the year

2008/09 is undertaken in Chapter Two. The chapter introduces the National

Development Vision 2025 which was formulated in 2000 and its implementation

was planned to be through medium term plans (MTP). MKUKUTA is implemented

under three clusters. This chapter gives, therefore, an account of how the key

sectors in the three MKUKUTA clusters performed and points out in detail the key

achievements and the challenges that are being faced. The key sectors that have

been reviewed in Cluster I are Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Manufacturing,

Minerals, Roads, Energy and Lands. Under Cluster II, the sectors reviewed are:

Page 10: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

x

Education, Health and Water. Finally, under Cluster III, the following sectors are

reviewed: Governance and Accountability, HIV and AIDS, Gender, Environment,

Population and Development, Social Protection, Employment and Economic

Development, Export Processing Zones and Special Economic Zones, and

Business and Property Formalization Programme.

As it has been the practice in the past, a separate Chapter Three has been

devoted to the sub-national levels of administration – the Regions and Local

Government authorities. Regions due to the vital role they play in facilitation and

backstopping to the local government authorities to effectively implement

government policies and deliver public services. The proximity of these levels to

the citizens makes Regions and LGAs deserve a chapter so that issues that are

specific to them are put in focus, without which such worthy issues as

maintenance of peace, order, tranquility and good governance as well as

bringing about development at the local level would be difficult to achieve.

The governance reforms continue to impact on public service delivery at

all levels and in every sector. Thus, Chapter Four captures these reforms and

discusses developments within Public Service Reform Programme II, Local

Government Reform Programme II (D by D), Public Financial Management

Reform Programme III, Legal sector Reform Programme, the National Anti-

Corruption Strategy and Action Plan II and Second Generation of Financial Sector

Reform Programme. The chapter underscores complementing feature of the

reforms with a view to enhancing good governance and accountability.

The influence of public investments in the performance of the economy is

recognized in Chapter Five. In particular, the place of those investments in

propping up the economy and the pressures that they exert to the Government

budget are discussed. Specific instructions are given to the public corporations

Page 11: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

xi

on what they are supposed to do in the medium term for them to continue to

deserve the status accorded to them.

The public investment plan for the medium term (MPIP) is explained in

Chapter six. In this chapter, investment priorities for faster economic growth in

line with the National Development Vision 2025 are put in proper perspective.

MPIP aims at improving transport and communication infrastructure, energy and

power supply, water harvesting for irrigation for the realization of Kilimo Kwanza

aspiration, industrial parks and commercial areas development and enabling

Tanzania to take full advantage of her geographical position in respect to her

neighbours.

The contents of chapter six provide an input for Chapter Seven which

spells out medium term objectives and focus, which enable resource allocation in

line with perceived priorities, a subject handled in Chapter Eight. The Chapter

also highlights milestones to be undertaken to ensure smooth carrying out the

forthcoming General Election slated for October 2010. Personal emoluments will

continue to be the first charge under the Recurrent Budget. Resources under

Development Budget are to be strategically directed, specifically to the growth

sectors so as to spur high economic growth in the medium term. Meanwhile,

allocation of resources to the social sectors will continue so as to sustain the

achievements obtained so far and improve the access and quality of the services

.

Chapter Nine provides a mechanism by which the Government will make a

follow-up on the execution of its budget with a view to ensuring value for

money. In this regard, the whole issue of performance monitoring, evaluation

and reporting is elaborated at length in the chapter. Finally, the concluding

Chapter Ten serves to remind the various institutions dealing with the

management of the budget about their roles and responsibilities.

CHAPTER ONE

REVIEW OF MACROECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Macroeconomic Performance

1. Economic growth has been stable, with GDP growth averaging 7.2 percent

between year 2002 and 2008. The strong growth performance is in response to

sound macroeconomic policies and reform efforts taken by the government over

the past two decades. Though agriculture has remained the dominant activity in

Tanzania, the economy has increasingly become diversified, embracing activities

such as manufacturing, trade and repairs, mining, construction, real estate and

business services, as well as transport and communication. Inflation, which had

remained at single digit for 10 years since 1998 crossed into the double digit

territory since September 2008. The increase was driven mainly by lagged

effects of the spike in international food and fuel prices.

2. With regard to fiscal operations, the government has over the time

managed to increase domestic resource mobilization efforts, while maintaining

expenditures within budget limits. Domestic revenue increased from 10.8 percent

of GDP in 2002/03 to 15.8 percent of GDP in 2008/09, while expenditure

increased from 17.6 percent of GDP to 25.3 percent of GDP over the same

period. During the period, the Government restrained from domestic bank

borrowing as a way of encouraging more financial resources to the private

sector, and also to reduce pressure on domestic prices. Meanwhile, the financial

sector remains solid, with credit to the private sector increasing from an average

of less than 6 percent of GDP in 2002 to an average of 19 percent of GDP in

2009. Gross official reserves have increased significantly as well, from around

USD 1.5 billion in November 2002 to USD 3.5 billion in November 2009,

equivalent to 5.7 months of imports.

A. Economic Growth

3. Despite the achievements that were registered over the past seven years,

economic growth in 2009 is likely to slow down on account of the global financial

crisis (GFC), and is estimated at 5.0 percent. However, according to the

November 2009 World Economic Report forecast, the global economy is healing

and emerging from recession, though the recovery is likely to be relatively slow.

The recovery is expected to be reflected into Tanzanian economy by 2010.

4. Indicators of Tanzania‟s economic activity during the year ending

December 2009 reflect that growth has been affected by the global financial

crisis albeit by a lesser extent when compared with advanced and middle income

economies. This has been evidenced by the recent upward trend of the value of

the traditional exports in the year ending December 2009. For instance, prices of

all traditional exports declined between 2008 and 2009, except tea and tobacco.

However, increase in export volumes compensated for the decline in prices. As a

result, the value of traditional exports went up by 12.5 percent to USD 470.8

million compared to the level recorded in 2008.

5. The price of gold (USD per troy trounce), which had increased by 25.12

percent during the year ending December 2008, slowed down to an increase of

11.59 percent during the year ending December 2009. However, due to increase

in gold export volumes, gold exports increased by 15.4 percent, from 932.4

million in the year ending December 2008 to USD 1,076.1 million in 2009.

6. The export value of horticultural products also increased to USD 32.2

million during the year ended December 2009 from USD 19.1 million recorded in

the corresponding period of 2008, equivalent to an increase of 33.7 percent.

Page 14: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

7. In addition to the impact of the GFC, growth is likely to be affected by the

2008/09 drought which has affected agricultural production, hydro power

generation as well as industrial production; all of which have a significant share

to total GDP.

8. In 2009, the services economic activity is estimated to grow by 6.0

compared to 8.5 percent real growth recorded in 2008. The main casualties are:

communication; hotel and restaurants; and trade and repair sub-economic

activities mainly on account of the low FDI and tourism inflows following the

impact of the GFC. The number of tourist arrivals has fallen since November

2008. This will likely reduce earnings from tourism; hence decline in the growth

rate of hotel and restaurants sub-economic activity.

9. The growth rate of industry and construction economic activities is

estimated to slow down to 5.6 percent in 2009 from 8.6 percent in 2008 mainly

on the account of low performance in electricity and gas, manufacturing and

construction sub-activities. The manufacturing sub-activity is expected to grow

by 6.6 percent in 2009 compared to 9.9 percent in 2008 mainly on account of

decline in the demand for manufactured exports, owing to the impact of global

financial crisis as well as the effect of the power shedding which started in the

third quarter of 2009. The decline in construction sub-activities is due to slow

down in construction sub-activity in anticipation of the impact of the GFC.

10. Similarly, electricity and gas sub-activity is anticipated to grow at 3.0

percent in 2009 compared to 5.4 percent in 2008 due to drought in 2008/09, as

well as dilapidated and breakdown of power plants. As of October 2009, total

energy requirement was 769MW and the available plants have the capacity of

generating 964MW (installed capacity). However, the available plants could only

produce 538MW, which is equivalent to 70 percent of the annual requirement

and 55.8 percent of the installed capacity.

11. The growth in agricultural and livestock economic activities is

expected to slow down to 2.7 percent in 2009 compared to actual growth rate of

4.6 percent recorded in 2008 due to uncertainty in weather conditions (failure of

short rains and delays in long rains) and the current global financial crisis which

has partly affected the demand and prices of traditional exports. In 2009, there

was lower than anticipated crop production caused by erratic rains. Traditional

exports, especially cotton and coffee, were also affected partly on account of the

impact of the global financial crisis as the prices in the world market declined

during the period under review. As such, growth in this sub-activity is projected

to slow down from 5.1 percent in 2008 to 2.9 percent in 2009.

12. Fishing economic activities is expected to record 2.0 percentage point

decline in growth rate, from 5.0 percent in 2008 to 3.0 percent in 2009, owing to

continued use of poor fishing gears, destruction of fish hatcheries, and low

production to meet world market demand as well as increasing competition in

the European countries resulting from fish farming from Asian Countries (China

and Vietnam).

B. Inflation

13. In December 2009, inflation stood at 12.2 percent, and the annual

average for 2009 was 12.1 percent compared to an average of 10.3 percent in

2008. The relatively high inflation in 2009 is mainly explained by food inflation

associated with low food production due to erratic rains. The situation was

worsened by food shortages in the neighboring countries. However, since

October 2009, inflation has been easing down on account of a slowdown in the

increase in food prices. Food inflation rate reached 14.5 percent in December

2009 from 18.1 percent recorded in October 2009. The average food inflation for

2009 was 17.9 percent compared to an average of 12.7 percent in 2008 (Chart

1.1).

C. Government Finance

14. During the year 2008/09, the Government executed the budget on the

basis of policy objectives that focused on strengthening domestic revenue

collection, public financial management and accountability. However, the fiscal

outturn for the year 2008/09 was characterized by a shortfall in revenue

collection and under-spending in expenditure categories.

15. Domestic Revenue: Total collection for the year reached TShs 4,293.1

billion, implying a shortfall of 10 percent against budget estimate for 2008/09

and 18 percent growth over 2007/08. The shortfall in collection was primarily

caused by the impact of the GFC that led to a decline in demand and prices in

the world market. Consequently, there was a slowdown in economic activities

and revenue collection, in particular, custom duties; domestic excise duties;

income taxes and non-tax revenue. The shortfall in domestic revenue collection

during the year necessitated the government to borrow Tshs. 323 billion

equivalent to 1.2 percent of GDP from domestic sources, through issuance of a

special bond.

Page 17: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

16. The fiscal performance during the period July – December 2009, was also

characterized by a shortfall in revenue collection. Total domestic revenue

collected was Tshs 2,291.2 billion, equivalent to 90 percent of the targeted Tshs

2,540.8 billion for the period. The shortfall in tax revenue collections was

recorded in all major tax categories including taxes on imports (92 percent of the

target); income tax (86 percent); Excise duty (82 percent); VAT (99 percent);

and Other taxes (95 percent). Collections from Non Tax Revenue were 29

percent below the target. The short fall in collection of NTR is partly attributed to

the impact of recent Global economic recession which adversely affected tourism

sector in the country. The underperformance is also caused by delays in

implementation of the proposed measures to review rates of residence permits,

VISA and immigration fees. This will cause a revenue gap amounting to Tshs. 7.5

billion in the fiscal year 2009/10.

17. Foreign Resources: In the financial year 2008/09, Tshs. 1,025 billion

was received as General Budget Support (GBS) equivalent to 126 percent of the

estimates of Tshs. 812 billion. The increase of the GBS by 26 percent over the

estimate is due to the contribution from Canada and Germany which were not

initially budgeted and the effect of exchange rate depreciation against the US

Dollar. Grants and loans received in the form of projects and Basket Funds

during the period was Tshs. 1,281 billion, equivalent to 86 percent of the

approved estimates for the financial year 2008/09. The shortfall was caused by

slow implementation of projects mainly emanating from prolonged procurement

procedures; failure of some MDAs, Regions and LGAs to account for Donor

funds; and non use of exchequer system by some development partners on

project funds.

18. Performance during the period July-December 2009 indicates that foreign

assistance in the form of GBS was Tshs. 785 billion, equivalent to 79 percent of

the budget estimates of Tshs. 997 billion. On the other hand, some DPs reduced

Page 18: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

7

part of their commitments on GBS. Projects and Baskets funds disbursed were

Tshs. 789 billion equivalent to 83 percent of budget estimates for that period.

19. Expenditure: The overall expenditure in 2008/09 reached 25.3 percent

of GDP compared to 22.9 percent in 2007/08. Total expenditure for 2008/09 was

Tshs 6,811.8 billion, equivalent to 95.0 percent of the total estimate of Tshs.

7,192.1 billion. Overall recurrent expenditure was broadly in line with budget

estimates, which is a significant improvement in expenditure execution compared

to the recent past. Development expenditure was 86 percent of the estimate for

the period.

20. Government expenditure during the period July-December 2009 was Tshs

4,283.6 billion or 88 percent of the estimates of Tshs 4,866.6 billion for the

period. Recurrent and development expenditures in the same period were Tshs

3,036.7 billion and Tshs. 1,246.9 billion respectively.

D. Public Debt

21. The public debt 1 stock at the end of November 2009 stood at USD

6,765.65 million, being an increase of 10.8 percent from the amount at the end

of June 2009. The increase is attributed to the new disbursement and issuance

of new Government Bonds to meet infrastructural challenges. Out of the debt

stock, external debt accounts for 72.7 percent and domestic debt is 27.3 percent.

External debt stock stood at USD 4,920.03 million, out of which USD 4,251.9

(86.4 percent) is disbursed outstanding debt (DOD) and the remaining amount of

USD 668.13 is interest arrears.

22. The stock of domestic debt as at the end of November 2009 stood at Tshs

2,400.17 billion, out of which Government securities are Tshs 2,391.82 billion

(99.7 percent) and other debts are Tshs 8.35 billion (0.3 percent). The debt

stock increased by Tshs 137.83 billion (6.1 percent) from Tshs 2,262.3 registered

1 The debt recorded here is only Government debt (i.e exclude private debt)

at the end of June 2009. The increase was mainly due to issuance of

government bonds.

E. Money and Credit Development

23. After recording a persistent strong growth at an annual average of 35.3

percent for the past 3 years, the growth of banks‟ credit to the private sector

eased to an average of 27.9 percent in 2009.During the year ending December

2009, the ratio of private sector credit to GDP declined to 17.0 percent from

18.4 percent registered at end December 2008. The decline is mainly attributed

to a continued cautious attitude by banks in extending credit to the private

sector, following the global financial crisis. The cautious stance towards lending

to the private sector was mirrored through increase in holding of foreign assets.

The slowdown in banks credit was observed mostly in agriculture, mining and

quarrying, manufacturing, building and construction, while transport,

communication, hotels and restaurants activities sustained strong credit growth.

On the other hand, personal loans2 and credit to trade activities grew albeit at a

slow pace. Meanwhile, during the period under review, personal loans continued

to sustain large shares of the banks‟ credit, followed by trade and manufacturing

activities (Chart 1.2).

2 Personal loans are loans taken by individuals from banks by either being guaranteed by employers or by providing collaterals. Such

loans are used for businesses, building houses, paying for school fees etc.

24. Notwithstanding the slow-down in credit to private sector, banks

continued to mobilize deposits, reaching a stock of TShs 7,190.1 billion by end

December 2009 compared with Tshs 6,012.9 billion in December 2008. During

the year ending December 2009, banks mobilized deposits amounting to TShs

1,177.3billion compared to TShs 955.5 billion mobilized during the corresponding

period in 2008. Meanwhile, financial deepening3 echoed the cautious lending

stance taken by banks, as it declined slightly to an estimated average of 27.5

percent in 2009, from an average of 27.8 percent in 2008. Reflecting the

slowdown in the growth of credit to the private sector, broad money supply (M2)

slowed to an annual growth rate of 20.8 percent in December 2009, from 24.4

percent registered in the year ending December 2008. Similarly, the growth of

the extended broad money supply (M3) 4 slowed to 18.4 percent, from 19.8

percent recorded in the year ending December 2008.

3 Financial deepening generally means an increased ratio of money supply to GDP. The more liquid money is available in an

economy, the more opportunities exist for continued growth. 4 M3 consists of broad money (M2) + Foreign Currency deposits.

4 M2 consists of narrow money (M1) + savings deposits + time deposits.

M1 Consists of currency in circulation outside banks + demand deposits of residents in deposit money banks

M0 Consists of currency in circulation outside banks + deposit money banks‟ deposits with the Bank of Tanzania

25. Interest rates development: Commercial banks‟ interest rates have

manifested positive developments, notably beginning 2006/07, as reflected

through the declining cost of borrowing funds in the face of increasing deposit

rates. While short term (up to one year) deposit rate increased to an average of

8.92 percent between July and December 2009 from 5.21 percent registered in

2003/04, short term lending rate declined to 13.93 percent from 15.75 percent.

As a result, the interest rate spread declined to an average of 5.01 percentage

points during the first half of 2009/10, from 10.54 percentage points in

2003/2004 (Chart 1.3).

26. The positive development in interest rates was mainly on account of

increase in competition associated with an increase in the number of banks and

financial institutions, decline in interest rates in the treasury bills market (which

act as an anchor to market determined interest rates), as well as a decline in the

rates at which the Bank of Tanzania lends funds to commercial banks. The

overall treasury bills rate declined from an average of 13.48 percent in 2006/07

to an average of 5.40 percent during the first five months of 2009/10. Likewise,

during the period, the 364-day T-bill rate declined to an average interest rate of

8.12 percent, down from 14.41 percent (Chart 1.4). The decline in the treasury

bills rates was due to deliberate efforts by the Government to reduce borrowing

Page 22: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

11

from the banking system, and measures adopted by the Bank of Tanzania to

increase efficiency in the treasury bills market. In addition, effectively from

2008/09, the Bank has reduced the Bank rate at which commercial banks borrow

funds, thus pushing the rate to an average of 4.89 percent in the first half of

2009/10 from an average of 18.34 percent recorded in 2006/07.

Chart 1.4: Selected Interest Rates Movements (Annual averages)

27. The government recognizes that the margin between lending and deposit

rates is still high despite the decline, when compared with negotiated interest

rates between banks and prime customers. During the seven-year period, the

interest rate margin based on negotiated rates was on average 2.27 percentage

points compared with 7.06 for ordinary customers (Table 1.1). The difference is

mainly on account of perceived high risk of business attributable largely on

inadequate information on borrowers.

28. Narrowing the deposit-lending margin and maintaining positive interest

rates remains a big challenge to the Government. The challenge is being

addressed by reducing risks associated with lending to the private sector. The

Government (through the Bank of Tanzania) is implementing a number of

measures directed towards increasing financial deepening and outreach as well

as increasing competition in the financial sector. The measures include

establishment of credit reference bureau, which will provide reference on

creditworthiness of potential borrowers from banks, thus reduce risk of default;

and addressing weaknesses in the legal framework that obstruct realization of

land based collateral, including title deeds issuance and collateral registration.

F. External Sector Development

29. Performance in the external trade was fairly satisfactory, whereby the

trade net position improved by USD 652.7 million in 2009. Combining the trade

account with the service account, the value of export of goods and services

increased to USD 4,693.6 million in 2009, from USD 4,687.7 million recorded in

Page 24: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

13

2008. During the period, import of goods and services declined by USD 575.3

million, from USD 8,089.2 million to USD 7,514.0 million. Consequently, current

account improved by USD 675.0 million, from a deficit of USD 2,883.1 million to

a deficit of USD 2,208.1 million in December 2009.

30. Goods Exports: During the year ending December 2009, export of goods

went down by 2.0 percent to USD 2,634 million, largely due to a decrease in

manufactured exports. Chart 1.5 summarizes the performance of selected

goods export during the past four years

32. Services receipt: On annual basis, services receipt amounted to USD

2,059.6 million, being higher than USD 1,998.8 million recorded in 2008,

following an increase in receipts from businesses other than transportation and

travel. During 2009, receipts from other business services were USD 327.0

million, 40.0 percent higher than the amount recorded in the preceding year. On

the other hand, Travel which accounts for about 60 percent of total services

receipt amounted to USD 1,260.1 million compared to USD 1,288.7 million

recorded in 2008. Available statistics show that from January to November 2009,

the number of international arrivals was 697,131, being 10.6 percent lower than

the number of arrivals recorded in the corresponding period last year. The dismal

performance is partly attributed to the global financial crisis (GFC), which has

affected major sources of tourists to Tanzania. However, improvement in travel

receipts is anticipated given the recovery of major economies from GFC and

Page 26: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

33. Imports: During the year ending November 2009, the value of goods

import was USD 5,775.7 million compared to USD 6,483.4 million recorded in

2008. This development was largely due to a significant drop in imports of

intermediate goods particularly oil products (Table 1.7). The value of oil imports

declined by 28.9 percent to USD 1,307.5 million due to a fall in the prices of oil in

the world market. Meanwhile, the volume of imported oil increased from

2,316,481.9 tons recorded in 2008 to 2,916,484.4 tons. Import of capital goods

was USD 2,513.1 million, being lower than USD 2,648.6 million recorded in 2008

34. Despite the decline in the value of oil imports, the same continued to

dominate goods imports. The share of oil imports during the year ending

December 2009 was 22.6 percent, compared with 20.1 percent for imports of

machinery and 18.2 percent comprising all other consumer goods (Chart 1.8)

35. Service Payment: During the year ending December 2009, services

payment was USD 1,738.2 million, representing 8.2 percent higher than the

payment made in 2008, largely due to an increase in payment for travel, other

business and government services. On the other hand, transportation payments

which mainly consist of freight payments declined in line with the decrease in

goods import.

G. Balance of Payment

36. During the year ending December 2009, the overall Balance of Payments

remained positive, recording a surplus of USD 428.9 million from a surplus of

USD 148.2 million recorded during the previous year. The positive development

is largely attributed to the narrowing of the current account deficit by 23.4

percent to a deficit of USD 2,208.1 million, following a decline in import bill and

increase in the official current transfers During the period under review, the

gross reserves position increased to USD 3,551.3 million from USD 2,872.6

Page 29: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

18

million recorded in the corresponding period in 2008. This level of reserves was

enough to cover about 5.6 months of imports of goods and services.

H. Exchange Rate Development

37. The value of the shilling against the US dollar depreciated on average by

10.3 percent to Tshs. 1,318.71 in 2009 per USD, from an average of Tshs.

1,195.75 per dollar in 2008 (Chart 1.9). The decline in the value of the shilling

was mainly attributed to speculation on fluctuations in foreign exchange supply,

following the global financial crisis towards the end of 2008. Banks‟ speculation is

partly reflected through accumulation of foreign assets during the period. During

the year ending December 2009, foreign assets in banks increased to a stock of

USD 985.8 million from USD 652.0 million recorded in November 2008,

representing an increase of 51.2 percent. In contrast, during the corresponding

period in 2008, foreign assets declined by USD 181.7 million or 21.8 percent.

Going forward, it is expected that the domestic currency will stabilize, as fears on

global financial crisis dissipate, coupled with an increase in the supply of foreign

exchange in the banking system, notably foreign reserves at the Bank of

Tanzania.

Regional Integration and International Cooperation

38. Tanzania is a member of SADC and EAC regional integration blocs. SADC

is at the stage of Free Trade Area in the integration process and studies are

underway for the establishment of SADC Customs Union. EAC on the other hand,

is already at a Customs Union stage and negotiation for the establishment of EAC

Common Market has been concluded and the Protocol was signed by the Heads

of State on 20th November, 2009 in Arusha. The Protocol is expected to come

into force in July 2010 upon ratification by all five Partner States. With a view to

deepen regional integration The EAC, SADC and COMMESA have initiated the

EAC-SADC-COMMESA Tripate arrangement aiming at establishing a EAC-SADC-

COMMESA Free Trade Area, and subsequently a EAC-SADC-COMMESA Custom

Union. Other regional economic cooperation initiatives include NEPAD and EPA

with the EU. It is important that Tanzania is well prepared to take advantage of

the opportunities brought by these regional integration initiatives.

Achievements

39. During the period under review the following notable achievements were

realized in the regional integration agenda:

(i) Implementation of a Custom Union that has resulted into increased

trade volumes and investments flows to Tanzania from EAC Partners

States, and increased revenue;

(ii) Increased exports to the EAC market from USD 145.47 million in 2004

to USD 310.47 million in 2008;

(iii) Investment projects to Tanzania from EAC increased from 100 projects

in 2007 worth USD 131.59 to 177 projects in 2007 worth USD 441.94;

(iv) Investment to Tanzania from EAC resulted into increased employment

from 10,627 new employment opportunities in 2007 to 12,051new

employment opportunities in 2008;

Page 31: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

20

(v) Protocol for the establishment of EAC Common Market has been signed

in November 2009;

(vi) Completion of stakeholders‟ views collection on fast tracking of the EAC

Political Federation, and the initiation of a study to consolidate

concerns and challenges identified during the consultation process so

as to identify ways of addressing the challenges as directed by the 11th

EAC Summit in November 2009;

(vii) Implementation of the East African Road Network Project, in particular

the commencement of the construction of the Arusha – Namanga –

Athi River Road Project, a road that will connect Tanzania and Kenya;

(viii) The development of the East Africa Railway Master plan;

(ix) The inauguration of the EAC Head quarters by EAC Heads of States in

November, 2009 marked the beginning of the construction works; and

(x) Commencement of Environment Management Programme II (LVEMP

II) in August 2009 that aims at sustainable utilization of resources and

environment management.

Challenges

40. During the period under review, the following major challenges were

identified:

(i) Public awareness on EAC integration is still limited among the various

stakeholders in the country, thus constraining their ability to take full

advantage of the emerging opportunities from the integration process;

(ii) Mainstreaming EAC integration agenda into Government‟s policies and

strategies;

(iii) Facilitating free circulation of goods in the Community while safeguarding

domestic revenue collection;

(iv) Identifying skills demand in the labour market in EAC-CM;

(v) Exploring the impact of the capital account liberalization on

macroeconomic stability; and

Page 32: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

21

(vi) Effective administration, financing and implementation of the deeper

stages of integration.

Implementation of the Rescue package against the Global Economic

Recession

Development during the Crisis

41. Like other economies, Tanzania‟s economy has been affected by the

global financial and economic crisis. Although Tanzania‟s financial system has

been resilient to the first round effects of the financial crisis due to limited

integration to international financial and capital markets, the second effects have

been vivid in real economy especially in tourism, agriculture and mining sectors

leading to a fall in the prices of most commodity exports, revenue collection,

foreign investments and increase in unemployment.

42. Prior to the crisis, GDP had been projected to grow at 7.8 percent in 2009.

However, after taking into account impacts of the crisis, the projection has been

revised downwards to 5.0 percent in 2009. On the Government revenue side,

domestic revenue collection was not satisfactory during 2008/09 as it was below

target by 10 percent. Significant shortfalls were on excise duty, income tax and

import duty.

43. Likewise, traditional exports were affected by the crisis, especially cotton

and coffee. Consequently traders who had bought cash crops at higher farm-

gate price and sold at lower prices in the world market were affected by the

crisis. As a result, private companies and cooperative unions‟ capacity to service

their bank loans have been constrained, and commercial banks somehow

became cautious in extending credits. Similarly, with the exception of gold

whose export earnings increased by 2.4 percent, all other minerals recorded a

decline in world market prices during the period under review. The increase in

the value of gold exports was largely due to a rise in the gold prices, from USD

22

874 per troy once to USD 915.9 per troy once, equivalent to an increase of 4.8

percent over the period. However, export volumes decreased slightly to 32.4

tons from 32.7 tons recorded during the year to October 2008.

Government Response

44. In response to the global financial and economic crisis, the Government

prepared a rescue package amounting to Tshs 1,692.5 billion to mitigate the

adverse impact of the crisis on the Tanzania economy. Among the measures

proposed in the Plan included:-

(i) Compensation for losses due to a fall in demand and prices of

commodities in the world market during the 2008/09 season; (Tshs 21.9

billion);

(ii) Guarantee for debt rescheduling (Tshs 45 billion);

(iii) Price subsidization (Tshs 80 billion);

(iv) Expanding Export Credit Guarantee Scheme (Tshs 10 billion);

(v) Increasing capital for SME guarantee scheme (Tshs 10 billion);

(vi) Improving railway and roads infrastructure (Tshs 110.4 billion); and

(vii) Ensure food security (Tshs 141 billion).

Implementation status

45. As of end December 2009, the total amount disbursed for rescue purpose

was Tshs. 870.8 billion, equivalent to 51 percent of the approved amount as

detailed below:

(i) Compensation for losses: A total of 35 cotton buyer firms requesting to

be compensated for a loss of Tshs 28.6 billion were scrutinized. After

review, the amount which was considered to be eligible for compensation

was Tshs 26.9 billion. As of end December, a total of 19.9 billion was

disbursed to compensate for losses incurred by cotton traders.

(ii) Guarantee for debt rescheduling: A total of Tshs 15.8 billion was

disbursed as loan rescheduling guarantee as at end December 2009. The

guarantee is aimed at enabling borrowers to access loans from

Page 34: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

23

commercial banks to finance their economic activities, especially buying

crops from farmers during 2009/10 season;

(iii) Price subsidization: The Government disbursed Tshs 20 billion in July

2009 for stabilization of cotton price. Under this arrangement, cotton

farmers, through Tanzania Cotton Board, receive 80 shillings per kilogram

during 2009/10 season. The subsidy is intended to provide incentives to

cotton farmers;

(iv) Guarantee Schemes: The Government disbursed Tshs 6.2 billion to

expand loans for ECGS and another Tshs 6.2 billion to increase availability

of loans through SME guarantee schemes during the period under review;

(v) Loan to ARTUMAS: In September, 2009 the Government provided Tshs

10 billion on-lending facility to ARTUMAS Company, through Tanzania

Investment Bank. The Company failed to raise capital from international

financial markets after its shares value fell drastically. The loan is intended

to finance investment in energy sector in Lindi and Mtwara regions;

(vi) Domestic borrowing: In June 2009, the Government borrowed Tshs

323 billion from the domestic market, equivalent to 1.2 percent of GDP to

finance revenue shortfall in 2008/09. Also in July 2009, the Government

borrowed Tshs 150 billion as part of 1.6 percent of GDP to finance its

2009/2010 budget; and

(vii) Balance of Payment Support: In June, 2009 the Government received

USD 245 million (Tshs 325.9 billion) loan from IMF, through Exogenous

Shocks Facility (ESF). The funds compensate shortfall in foreign exchange

earnings.

46. The Government, through the Bank of Tanzania continued to exercise

strict surveillance over financial institutions and special attention to foreign banks

that are operating in Tanzania to ensure their operations are in line with laws

and regulations. As a result of effective Bank‟s supervision and surveillance, the

financial system in Tanzania remains safe, stable, sound and resilient to the

Page 35: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

24

crisis. The banks have ample liquidity to guarantee maturing obligations and

credit sector have continued to grow.

CHAPTER TWO

REVIEW OF THE PLAN AND MKUKUTA IMPLEMENTATION

FOR 2008/09

47. In 2000, the Government started to implement the National Development

Vision 2025 (TDV 2025). The Vision provides the direction of the country‟s

development, and all sectoral policies and strategies are aligned to this Vision.

Along with TDV 2025, the medium Term Plan (MTP) was developed as a vehicle

to operationalize the vision‟s aspiration into implementable medium and short

term plans.

48. Notwithstanding the implementation of the MTP, the Poverty Reduction

Strategy (PRS) was adopted in 2000 in the context of the enhanced Highly

Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative. Later on, in 2005, MKUKUTA was

prepared as the national framework which accords high priority to growth and

poverty reduction in Tanzania‟s development agenda. Since then, MKUKUTA has

continued to be an overarching planning Framework in Tanzania and has always

played a pivotal role in resource allocation.

49. However, the TDV 2025 needs to be implemented through MTP along with

MKUKUTA which is a strategy for growth and poverty reduction. Hence, there is

a need to reinstate the long, medium and short term plan. These plans will

accommodate all other national programs, plans and strategies. Priority areas to

be focused by all players will be identified and implemented.

50. During the period under review, the assessment of MKUKUTA

implementation is done through the three clusters, namely Growth and reduction

of Income Poverty, Quality of Life and Social Well-being, and Good Governance

and Accountability. Detailed information is contained in the MKUKUTA Annual

Implementation Report (MAIR) 2008/2009 and the Mid-term Review of 2009/10.

Page 37: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

26

Cluster I: Growth and reduction of Income poverty

51. This section discusses the performance of key sectors in this cluster. As

revealed in MAIR 2008/2009, Poverty and Human Development Report (PHDR-

2009) and other socio-economic reports, the performance of these sectors is as

follows:

Agriculture

52. During the year ending June, 2009 the priorities were on enhancing the

implementation of Agricultural Sector Development Programme (ASDP)

particularly in irrigation systems development, strengthening research and

extension services and enhancing productivity. Broad interventions included the

implementation of: District Agricultural Development Plans (DADPs); the District

Agriculture Sector Investment Project (DASIP); the Participatory Agricultural

Development and Empowerment Project (PADEP), and Agriculture Marketing

Systems Development Programme (AMSDP).

53. Achievements: During the period under review, the following are some

of the specific achievements recorded:

(i) The area under irrigation increased from 289,245 hectares in 2007 to

310,745 hectares in June, 2009 out of which 255,675 hectares are for

small scale farming and 55,070 hectares are under large scale farming.

Consequently, production of paddy increased from 2 to 5 tonnes per

hectare and tomatoes from 5 to 18 tonnes per hectare in Igomelo

irrigation scheme (Mbarali); maize from 1.5 to 4 tonnes per hectare in

Mombo irrigation scheme (Korogwe) and onions from 13 to 26 tonnes per

hectare in Mang‟ola irrigation scheme (Karatu);

(ii) Increased incomes and improved standards of living specifically for the

rural farmers‟ irrigation schemes. For example, farmers in schemes of

Igomelo (Mbeya Rural) and Madibira (Mbarali) income accruing from

paddy production per hectare increased from Tshs 520,000 before

Page 38: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

27

irrigation interventions to Tshs 1,500,000 after the improved

interventions. This also resulted in improved livelihood such as

construction of better houses by the scheme members;

(iii) A total of 141,050 metric tonnes (MT) of fertilizer, (DAP 8,850 MT; UREA

73,700 MT; and MRP 58,500 MT) equivalent to 108.5 percent of the target

(130,000 MT) were distributed in 11 regions under voucher scheme. As a

result, a total of 737,000 farmers benefited out of targeted 700,000

equivalents to 105.3 percent of target. Furthermore, a total of 7,180 MT

of improved seed (Maize hybrid 6,488 MT and Maize OPV 692 MT)

equivalent to 239.3 percent of the target (3,000 MT) were distributed in

11 regions under voucher scheme. A preliminary performance assessment

done in six regions with more potential for producing surplus food namely

Morogoro, Iringa, Ruvuma, Mbeya, Rukwa and Kigoma revealed that

average productivity of maize are expected to increase from 17 bags to 25

bags per acre and paddy 4 to 25 bags per acre;

(iv) A total of 472 tractors, 495 power tillers and 62,194 animal drawn

implements (e.g. ox-ploughs) were availed in the country to be accessed

by farmers so as to bolster their agriculture productivity. Also through

DADPs, some LGAs supported farmers through a cost sharing mechanism

with 166 power tillers, 49 tractors and 81 ox-ploughs. Moreover, four

Ward Agricultural Resource Centres were constructed and six

rehabilitated;

(v) As a result of these interventions in agro mechanization together with the

inputs subsidy programme, and irrigation interventions coupled with

favourable weather conditions in the major production areas, the

production of food crops in 2008 was relatively higher for maize, paddy,

cassava and wheat;

Page 39: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

28

(vi) Food production reached a total of 10.87 million tonnes in 2008 compared

to the national demand of 10.33 million tonnes. As the result, the Food

Self Sufficiency Ratio (SSR) increased from 104 percent in 2007 to 105

percent in 2008. However, this achievement on SSR was contributed by

surplus production of non-cereal crops such as cassava, plantain, potatoes

and legumes. This is because, the total food requirement for cereal crops

in 2008/09 was 6.45 million tonnes while actual production was 5.59

million tonnes causing a deficit in cereal crops of 860,000 tonnes; and

(vii) A total of 230,155 farmers and 47,284 livestock keepers were trained

individually and in groups. The training covered among others, group

formation, establishment and management of SACCOS and record

keeping. In addition, a total of 2,321 farmers groups and SACCOS were

established and provided with training on how to manage themselves.

54. On the other hand, the specific achievements during the period from July

to December, 2009 are as follows:

(i) The area under irrigation increased to 322,945 hectares from 310,745

hectares in June, 2009;

(ii) In provision of inputs subsidy, a total of 4,501,100 vouchers have been

printed of which 1,500,000 vouchers are for phosphate fertilizers and

1,501,100 vouchers for UREA. 1,250,000 vouchers are for maize hybrid,

220,000 vouchers are for maize OPV and 30,000 vouchers are for paddy;

(iii) A total of 64,545.555 MT of maize and 271.636 MT of sorghum have been

procured for maintenance of stock through NFRA. A total of 84,056.932

MT of maize including carry over stock have been distributed to deficit

areas;

(iv) A total of 3,565 students are undergoing residential training at 15 training

institutes while a total of 623 extension staff were recruited and posted to

LGAs in the six food basket regions;

Page 40: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

29

(v) A total of 172.72 tonnes of breeder seeds were produced by research

institutions, 39 new improved seed varieties of various crops were

released. Moreover, 488 tonnes of improved seeds were purchased from

National Service (JKT) and Prison (Magereza) farms under contractual

arrangement;

(vi) A total of 75 tractors worth Tshs. 2,341,829,484 and 11 Power Tillers

worth Tshs. 98,026,000 were procured through AGITF credit

arrangement. In addition, a total of 355 tractors and 1,344 power tillers

have been imported in the country by private dealers; and

(vii) Red locusts were controlled in a total of 21,005 hectares of invaded area.

Challenges

55. The sector faces the following main challenges:-

(i) Harnessing new technologies which are cost effective and also in

conformity with natural climatic regime of the country;

(ii) Facilitating private sector participation in the delivery of research and

extension services;

Livestock

56. The focus in 2008/09 was on enhancing livestock productivity by

improving local breeds through cross breeding, strengthening National Artificial

Insemination Centre (NAIC) and field services, strengthening pasture seed

production and conducting milk consumption promotion.

57. Achievements: During the period under review, the following are some

of the specific achievements recorded:

(i) The production of meat in the country increased from 410,706 tonnes in

2007 to 422,230 tonnes in 2008, equivalent to an increase of 2.8 percent.

Out of this, 225,178 tonnes were beef, 82,884 tonnes were

bacon/mutton, 36,000 tonnes were pork and 78,168 tonnes were chicken.

An increase in production was due to increase in number of livestock as

well as increased meat demand;

(ii) A total of 62,000 cattle were fattened through fattening programme

(feedlot) in various ranches in 2008 compared to a total of 29,600 cattle

fattened in 2007. These ranches include Glienshils Ranch and Mtibwa

Feedlot (Morogoro), Sumbawanga Agricultural and Animal Feeds

Industries (SAAFI), Manyara and Mzeri ranches and small livestock

keepers in Mara, Mwanza and Shinyanga regions. In addition, after

dividing the 294,188 hectares of NARCO ranches into 124 small ranches

with an area of between 2,000 and 4,000 hectares, additional investment

has reached over 25,000 cattle;

(iii) A total of 2,954 cattle worth Tshs 599 million were bought by NARCO

from livestock keepers around the ranches for fattening. A total of 6,748

cattle worth Tshs 2.7 billion were sold by National Ranching Company

(NARCO);

Fishing

59. In 2008, the sector recorded a growth rate of 5.0 and contributed about

1.3 percent to GDP. During the year under review, the focus was on

implementing interventions that will increase contribution of aquaculture to the

improvement of food security, employment and incomes.

60. Achievements: During the period under review, the sub-sector recorded

the following broad achievements:

(i) The value of fish produced increased from Tshs. 291.8 billion in 2007/08

to Tshs. 371.4 billion in 2008/09;

(ii) The average per capita fish consumption in 2008/2009 was about 8.1

kilograms as compared to the FAO recommended consumption rate of

Page 43: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

32

10.7kgs. The average per capita fish consumption in 2007/08 was about

6.9 kilograms; and

(iii) A total of 552,630 fish fingerlings of Tilapia (Perege) were produced from

Kingolwira Fish Farming Center and distributed to various regions;

(iv) In 2008/2009, total Mari culture production in Tanzania was 667.9 tonnes

whereby seaweed farming accounted for the majority of this production

(411.9 tonnes) followed by prawns (250 tonnes), milk fish (5 tonnes),

mud crab fattening (1 ton) and pearl oyster (148 pieces).

Challenges

(i) Facilitating the industry with modern fishing equipment and skills;

(ii) Enhancing the knowledge on how to tap the vast potential for aquaculture

development;

(iii) Improving and sustaining quality and sanitary standards;

(iv) Preventing illegal fishing practices, trafficking of fish and fisheries products

across the borders, and promoting environmental conservation; and

(v) Improving the collection, processing, analysis and dissemination of

fisheries information.

Kilimo Kwanza

61. The Government has adopted a „Kilimo Kwanza‟ initiative in 2009 so as to

transform peasant and small farmers to commercial farmers, make agriculture

attractive for investment and supportive to other industries for bolstering

productivity in the economy. Indeed, Kilimo Kwanza is a holistic approach for the

development of the agricultural sector, which involves all sectors in the economy.

It provides national coordination of resources, planning and accountability for

implementation of agricultural transformation, which also emphasizes private

sector participation. Moreover, it focuses on strategic agricultural produce and

the whole spectrum of small, medium and large scale farmers. It is worth noting

that Kilimo Kwanza does not replace ASDP but rather complements it. To this

Page 44: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

33

end, Kilimo Kwanza is a crucial stride for Tanzania to move forward with concrete

steps towards the transformation of the agricultural sector into a green

revolution.

62. The implementation of Kilimo Kwanza is guided by the following ten main

pillars:

(i) Vision of Kilimo Kwanza: it emphasizes more on political will to

implement Kilimo Kwanza and focus on modernization and commercial

agriculture for peasant, small, medium, and large scale producers;

(ii) Financing Kilimo Kwanza: it focuses more on sectorial budgets

oriented to Kilimo Kwanza and the way to finance agricultural activities in

the economy including mobilization of the private sector to increase

investments in Kilimo Kwanza and also to empower farmers‟ cooperatives

and SACCOS to mobilize, manage, and channel funds for agricultural

production to their members;

(iii) Institutional reorganization for management of Kilimo Kwanza:

it brings together key agricultural functions under one roof for

effectiveness, efficiency and timely decision making;

(iv) Paradigm shift to strategic framework of Kilimo Kwanza: it seeks

to identify areas and modalities of priority production of: strategic

agricultural commodities and crops; and looking issues of value addition;

(v) Land for Kilimo Kwanza: This requires amendment of Acts to facilitate

operationalization of Kilimo Kwanza as well as surveying of land for

agricultural investment;

(vi) Incentives for Kilimo Kwanza: the purpose is to look into fiscal and

non fiscal incentive policies that will stimulate Kilimo Kwanza and

therefore, bolster productivity;

(vii) Industrialization for Kilimo Kwanza: this will provide value chain for

agricultural development that is seeds, artificial insemination, fingerlings,

Page 45: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

34

fertilizers, farm implements and machinery; human resources, agro

processing; etc need to be integrated;

(viii) Science, technology and human resources for Kilimo Kwanza: this

will institute mechanism for effective utilization of science, technology and

human resources for Kilimo Kwanza;

(ix) Infrastructure development for Kilimo Kwanza: this includes

development of irrigation schemes; transport and communication to

markets; storage; and rural electrification to stimulate agriculture

activities; and

(x) Mobilization of Tanzanians for Kilimo Kwanza: this involves

sensitization and internalization of plans consistent with Kilimo Kwanza.

63. The whole process of implementing Tanzania‟s Green Revolution is

projected to be completed within ten years, and time frame for implementation

has been set for each pillar. The responsibilities of each actor are well explained

within the ten pillars and MDAs, Regions and LGAs have been required to align

their plans consistent with the implementation of Kilimo Kwanza.

Manufacturing

64. During the year 2008 manufacturing sub-economic activity grew at 9.9

percent compared to 8.7 percent in 2007. The increase in growth rate was

attributed to sustainable industrial production especially in SMEs and the

increased in investment in Export Processing Zones (EPZs). In addition, the

Government‟s medium term priority has been to encourage development of basic

industries, value addition in agro-processing and reduction in cost of doing

business.

65. Achievements: During the period under review, the following are the

specific achievements recorded:

CHAPTER THREE

SPECIFIC ISSUES FOR REGIONS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Introduction

98. Regions and Local Government Authorities have specific roles and

responsibilities to perform for the purpose of bringing about development and

improving service delivery in their respective areas of jurisdiction. These two

levels of administration have specific objectives as summarized below.

99. Regions: As part of the Central Government, the Regions are

responsible for securing the maintenance of law and order and determining the

specific direction of efforts in implementing the policies of the Government

including attainment of national standards and quality assurance in the delivery

of public goods and services. The role of Regional Administration is to facilitate

and assist the local government authorities in the region in undertaking and

discharging their responsibilities by providing and securing the enabling

environment for them to successfully perform their duties and functions.

100. Local Government Authorities, on the other hand, are charged with the

following responsibilities:

(i) to maintain and facilitate the maintenance of peace, order and good

government within their areas of jurisdiction;

(ii) to promote the social and economic well-being of all the people within

their areas of jurisdiction; and

(iii) to further the social and economic development of their areas of

jurisdiction subject to the national policies and plans for rural and urban

development.

101. This Chapter is meant to provide a review of the performance of Regions

and Local Government Authorities during the period under review. In doing so,

the achievements registered during the period and the challenges met by each

level of administration are summarized. The Chapter concludes also includes

instructions to Regions and LGAs to clearly state and submit their annual targets

in respect of the implementation of Kilimo Kwanza for the next medium term.

Regional administration

102. During the period under review, Regions continued to maintain peace,

order and tranquility as well as coordinating and backstopping LGAs to attain

social and economic development. Achievements during the period include:-

(i) Improving working environment through construction and rehabilitation of

17 Regional Administration blocks, 26 District Commissioners‟ offices as

well as 32 residences for RCs and DCs;

(ii) Facilitating improvement of health services through construction of

Regional Hospitals in Singida, Manyara and Mbeya regions, rehabilitation

of regional Hospitals of Arusha, Morogoro, Kilimanjaro, Shinyanga,

Kigoma, Rukwa, Tabora, Dodoma and Mwanza regions and expansion of

Tumbi Hospital at Kibaha Education Centre which serves also as Regional

Hospital for Coast Region;

(iii) Enhancing transparency and participation of stakeholders in the

development process at the local level by facilitating Regional Consultative

Committees (RCCs), District Consultative Committees (DCCs) and Inter

Council Forums meetings;

(iv) Providing technical advice and conduct quarterly monitoring and

evaluation on the implementation of activities in LGAs; and

(v) Coordinating the process of grassroots leaders‟ elections in 132 LGAs

which was conducted in October 2009.

(v) Tshs. 70.1 billion was allocated to LGAs for implementation of projects in

education, water, agriculture and health sectors. Some of the projects

which have been implemented include rehabilitation and construction of

secondary schools‟ classrooms, teachers‟ houses, administration blocks

and laboratories, health centres, dispensaries, irrigation projects and

formation of farmers‟ groups in 132 LGAs. This is in line with 2005 CCM

General Elections Manifesto;

(vi) Routine maintenance have been done for 10,901 kilometres, spot

64

(ix) Increased own source revenue collection from TShs. 61.4 billion in

2007/08 to TShs. 100.6 billion in 2008/09 which is equivalent to 92% of

the 2008/09 estimates. To a large extent this has increased contributions

of the LGAs in development projects and day to day operations of the

LGAs;

(x) Continued with construction of 32 offices of Members of Parliament, 12

new Council headquarters and 80 staff quarters which started in

2008/2009 financial year;

(xii) Training of staff/officers from 9 LGAs on the implementation of the

National Strategy on Crime Prevention under the key functions of the

maintenance of peace, order and good governance.

Challenges Facing Regional Administration and Local Government

104. The following are the major challenges facing Regional Administration and

Local Government plans and budgets:-

(i) Inadequate number of qualified staff at RAs level to support LGAs;

(ii) Securing adequate number of primary and secondary school teachers and

health staff;

(iii) Meeting the requirements for infrastructure in primary and secondary

schools as well as in health facilities;

(iv) Lack of communication strategy between LGAs, PMORALG and Sector

Ministries;

(v) untimely and inaccurate reports submitted to higher authorities

(PMORALG, MoFEA and other sectoral Ministries);

(vi) Attracting and retaining qualified personnel in underserved areas;

(vii) Harmonizing and rationalizing funding modalities to LGAs;

(viii) Creating capacity to comply with the requirements of the Public

Procurement Act No 21 of 2004 and Regulations;

Page 76: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

65

(ix) Attracting qualified contractors in some areas particularly in road sector;

(x) Accessing timely foreign funds for implementation of development

projects in LGAs;

(xi) Instilling budgetary discipline among Council leaders and staff in order to

minimize reallocations; and

(xii) Mobilizing revenue from Councils‟ own sources.

Medium Term Focus for FY 2010/11 – 2012/13

Regional administration

105. For the past five years, major development projects undertaken at

regional level included mainly construction of offices and residences or

rehabilitation of the same. Experience has shown that most of these projects are

implemented at a longer period than the initial period. This is due to the fact that

new projects are established before completion of the ongoing ones. This has

resulted to thin-spreading of meager resources to many projects which impliedly

shows that there is lack of prioritization during the planning process. In this

regard, priority areas during the medium term plan will include the following:-

(i) Coordinating interventions aimed at successful implementation of “Kilimo

Kwanza” in the regions including establishment of agro-mechanization

centres and agro-processing small scale industries;

(ii) Completing ongoing projects especially Regional blocks, District

Commissioners Offices, Regional hospitals and District Commissioners

residences;

(iii) Developing proposals on Regional Integrated Development Programmes;

(iv) Facilitate preparation for 2010 General Elections; and

(v) Facilitate improvement and expansion of rural roads network.

Page 77: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

66

Local Government

106. During the Medium Term Plan and Budget, the principle of discretionary

allocation of resources to development projects will still prevail. LGAs are urged

to focus on few priority areas which have quick wins. In order to abide with

other National Policies, priority areas will also include:-

(i) Facilitating establishing small scale industries in the context of “Kilimo

Kwanza” including infrastructure for livestock development and

distribution of farm implements;

(ii) Improving and expanding Districts‟ roads network (Urban and Rural

LGAs);

(iii) Completing ongoing projects;

(iv) Constructing secondary school infrastructure eg. Hostels and laboratories,

coordinate secondary school education activities at LGAs level and

implement new curriculum;

(v) Preparation of land use plans which among other things, will contribute to

reduction of conflicts between livestock keepers and farmers;

(vi) Improvement of Dar es Salaam City and Dodoma Municipal infrastructures

such as ring roads, sewerage system, street lights and parking;

(vii) Management of Constituency Development Catalyst Fund (CDCF);

(viii) Rolling out of O&OD in the remaining 27 LGAs;

(ix) Rehabilitation of existing health facilities as part of implementing Primary

Health Services Development Program (PHSDP);

(x) Strengthening Monitoring and Evaluation at all levels;

(xi) Reviewing, evaluating and strengthening LGAs own sources of revenue;

and

(xii) Strengthening law and order through implementation of the national

strategy for crime prevention which was launched by the Government in

2008.

Page 78: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

67

Kilimo Kwanza

107. Regions and LGAs have a specific role in successful implementation of the

interventions under Kilimo Kwanza. The Government has, effective from

2009/10, provided resources with which agricultural inputs will be provided.

These efforts will be continued into the next medium term. LGAs are particularly

called upon to invoke the bottom-up participatory planning approach so that

production targets can be set for each Kitongoji, each Village and thus

consolidate the projected production for the entire area under the LGA‟s

jurisdiction. Each LGA should mobilize its residents so as to ensure that they

produce enough food for themselves as well as producing surplus food crops

and bumper non-food cash crops for sale. The RSs should consolidate those

targets into regional targets and submit them to PMO-RALG and MAFSC for

further consolidation into national targets. Those targets will then be used for

monitoring annual performance during the medium term. The plans and budgets

of Regions and LGAs for the year 2010/11 and thereafter should reflect how

individual Regions and LGAs are poised to make Kilimo Kwanza a success.

BEST Implementation at LGAs level-Doing Business

108. LGAs are supposed to play a crucial role in facilitating doing business in

their areas of jurisdiction. Hitherto, however, the LGAs have insisted on

unnecessary regulatory and administrative constraints which have only served to

frustrate the private sector in undertaking business ventures in the country.

109. Regions and LGAs are hereby called upon to address the cumbersome

procedures in the issuance of business licences and related permits which clearly

inhibit doing business thus failing to attract both local and foreign investments.

PMO-RALG and other stakeholders should seriously review the relevant laws and

regulations with a view to relieving Council Committees of the burden of

undertaking technical responsibilities such as scrutinizing and approving building

permits for which they are not competent so that such tasks are entirely left to

Page 79: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

68

the relevant technical staff who should be held fully responsible for their deeds

or misdeeds.

Planning and Budget Process for Local Government

Budget preparation and submission;

110. Budget preparation at Local Government Authorities will continue to be

guided by Opportunities and Obstacles to Development (O&OD) participatory

planning methodology. Through this methodology, communities will come up

with plans and budgets for their villages and Mitaa. Higher level local

government authorities will compile wards‟ plans and advice accordingly. Lower

Level Local Government Authorities (LLLGAs) plans have two components.

Component one comprises activities that can be financed by the communities

themselves and component two comprises activities that need assistance. The

later is used as inputs during the preparation of higher level local government

authorities‟ strategic plans and budget. LGAs will prepare MTEF document and

discuss their budget through statutory Committees. Regions through Inter

Council forums should become effective in terms of scrutinising LGAs plans and

budget so as to ensure compliance with National policies before Full Council

meetings. Regional budgets will be scrutinized to assess adherence to these

guidelines, alignment and inclusion of all necessary requirements by the team

comprising of staff from PMO-RALG, PO-PSM and MoFEA. Budget preparation will

be guided by institutional ceilings as no funds will be allocated outside ceiling

provided.

Budget Execution Stage

111. LGAs are obliged to prepare realistic action plans, procurement plans and

projected cash flow requirements for the financial year. The action plan should

include uncompleted activities and unutilized funds from the previous year

according to approved budget. Budget executions should commence with

outstanding balances carried forward from the previous financial year and

Page 80: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

69

proceed with own source revenues as well as intergovernmental transfers and

subventions allocated for the new financial year.

Budget Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting

112. RAs and LGAs are encouraged to form joint teams for monitoring and

evaluation. Whenever RAs are conducting monitoring at LGAs, the joint team

should draw members from all sectors. This will also apply for LGAs when they

are conducting M&E at lower level local government authorities. Such practice

will help to cut down costs and also will enhance building common

understanding. RAs should monitor all funds disbursed to LGAs while LGAs

should monitor all funds disbursed to lower levels local government authorities.

Reports should be prepared quarterly, semi annual and annual as instructed in

the Medium Term Strategic Planning, Budgeting and Reporting Manual

(MTSPBM). LGAs are urged to prepare timely and quality reports which adhere to

format provided and submit them to the various levels of the Government for

decision making and actions.

113. Following the introduction of Milestone Assessment Framework (MAF),

RAs and LGAs are urged to carry out evaluation of their performance to assess

the level of achievement in terms of outcome and impact. They are required to

report on its budget outcomes and performance by using the standard formats

provided both in the Planning and Budgeting Guidelines Part Two (PBG – Part II)

as well as the MTSPBM. Annual Performance Reports and Three-Year Outcome

reports should be made available to stakeholders including the general public

within 90 days after completion of the particular financial year. This is intended

to enhance good governance through transparency, accountability and

ownership by key stakeholders.

Page 81: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

70

Main Functions of Council Organs

114. Councils‟ day to day operations are vested on Councilors and Executives.

Permanent standing Committees which are formed by Councilors will always

oversee execution of Council‟s plans and budget and reports will be tabled before

the Full Council. Council Management Team (CMT) which is formed by the

Director and Heads of Departments, continue to be an important organ in the

LGAs plans and budget preparation, execution and reporting process. It is this

team which forms the Council Planning and budgeting committee. This

Committee among other things performs the following:-

(i) To review plans and budget performance of the last and current financial

years for both recurrent and development budgets;

(ii) To interpret national policy in council‟s environment, giving clear guidance

on councils‟ priorities and supervising the preparation of the plan and

budget process;

(iii) To advise Councillors on realistic budgeting that matches resources

availability and expected outputs;

(iv) To draw up programme for budget preparation, scrutinisation and

rationalization;

(v) To compile and finalizing LGA‟s MTEF by ensuring that departmental

budgets‟ are consistent with council priorities and ceiling, and integrating

the revenue budget with both recurrent and development budgets;

(vi) To ensure that all revenues collectable under Section 6 of the Local

Government Finances Act (Cap 290), are collected and accounted for; and

(vii) To carry out the execution, performance monitoring and reporting on

Councils‟ plan and budget.

115. During the medium term, Regions and LGAs will receive financial

resources from the Treasury to facilitate implementation of priority activities for

Recurrent and Development budgets. The Government will continue to allocate

resources using the Strategic Budget Allocation System (SBAS) for Regions and

Page 82: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

71

OC and development funds will be allocated on formula basis for LGAs. The grant

allocation plus estimated revenue from own sources will constitute the resource

envelopes for LGAs. The use of formula in allocating grants to LGAs enhances

predictability, stability and transparency in LGAs budget allocations and

engenders more effective and accountable financial planning and budgeting.

Revenue from Own Sources

116. Following Government‟s commitment in providing improved social and

economic services, LGAs need to scale up revenue collection efforts and

effectively participate in co-funding of development projects that will receive

funding from government subventions. During 2009/10, the approved budget

for all LGAs‟ own source revenue was Tshs. 138.1 billion and the revenue

projection for 2010/11 is Tshs. 158.8 billion.

Table 3.1 depicts Council’s Own Revenues for the period 2006/07 – 2008/09-amount in Million Tshs

2008/09 133 109,258.0 100.659.0 92

GRAND TOTAL 252,780.3 241,840.4 96

Performance:

For the period July 2006/07 to 2008/09, actual collections from Council‟s own

sources amounted to Tshs 241,840.4 against the target of Tshs 252,780.3

reflecting performance rate of 96%.

117. In the process of setting revenue targets in the year 2010/11, LGAs

should seek to systematically review and evaluate actual and potential own

sources of revenues. The findings observed should serve as a baseline in

strengthening the sources, establishing a realistic future focus that will lead to

Page 83: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

72

maximum utilisation of Councils revenue base. All LGAs are urged to identify

more revenue sources within the closed list of revenue sources and enforce

bylaws that are in place for effective collection of the same, and if need be,

enact new by-laws.

Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfers

118. During the period under review, inter-governmental transfers have been

playing a critical role in the system of transfer of public finance from the Central

Government to LGAs. In the medium term 2010/11 - 2012/13, LGAs will continue

to receive funds direct from the Central Government, while Regions will receive

the release warrant and exchequer issue notification of the same for information,

coordination and accounting purposes. The Intergovernmental transfers will

therefore cover the recurrent block grants (PE and OC) and development

subventions (Local and Foreign Grants).

119. Following the implementation of D by D policy, a number of functions

have been devolved to LGAs and the respective budgets have been transferred

direct to relevant points of implementation. Likewise, higher level of LGAs are

obliged to transfer internally the funds allocated for implementation of activities

at lower levels (Wards, Villages/Mitaa and Vitongoji) to enable effective

governance and accountability at all levels. Notwithstanding of D by D policy,

Government subventions for implementation of activities and projects under

vertical programmes will continue to be channeled through respective MDAs

while efforts are made to finally make implementation of such activities and

projects more D by D compliant.

Recurrent Block Grants

120. During the medium term, LGAs will continue to receive recurrent block

grants for implementing planned local activities in all departments as will be

guided by resource envelope and as passed by the Full Council and finally

Page 84: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

73

approved by the Parliament. In this context, recurrent block grants will be

provided to LGAs in the form of Personal Emoluments (PE) and Other Charges

(OC). The PE budget will be allocated based on approved establishment while

OC budget will be determined by using formulae whose variables reflect service

delivery need indicators such as population, number of school aged children,

poverty, geographic size and other social-economic indicators. The table below

shows a summary of the recurrent block grant formulae that will continue to be

used for allocation of resources in the year 2010/11 - 2012/13.

Table 3.2: Formula for allocating Block Grants for PE and OC

No. Sector Formulae/Variable Applicable

1. Primary Education Number of school-aged children 100%

2. Secondary Education Number of enrolled students (day

7. General Purpose Grant Total Population: 50%

Total Number of rural residents: 30%

Fixed Lump Sum: 10%

Total Number of Villages: 10%

8. Personal Emoluments Number of existing employees in the payroll

Number of existing employees not in payroll

Number of employees to be recruited.

121. Councils are responsible for determining the allocation of resources of

each grant within the formula-based ceilings allocated to them, recognizing

expenditure commitments and the needs of each sector. As a result, all existing

and any new posts in the council‟s budget must be fully fundable within the LGA

budget constraints.

Page 85: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

74

122. LGAs should prepare the personal emoluments (PE) budget based on

identified actual strengths and manning level required to perform the functions

as set in the strategic plan, within the budgetary ceilings. Each LGA should

prepare the PE and OC budget, forming the recurrent budget which along with

the development budget section will complete the MTEF document to be

submitted to MoFEA for scrutinisation, consolidation and finally progressed for

approval by the Parliament.

123. In budgeting for existing commitments for PE, Councils should take

existing payroll figures including Employer‟s contribution to the respective

pension funds and other statutory contributions. The amounts to be released for

PE will be subject to the approved budget and monthly payroll printouts sent to

respective LGA.

124. Underserved areas: These are areas which do not attract qualified staff

due to factors such as absence of basic facilities including staff houses and other

infrastructure facilities, remoteness (geographical location and setting) culture

etc. This has resulted into low quality or inadequate services delivered by various

sectors to the communities in some parts of the country. To address this, during

financial year 2009/2010 the Government allocated funds for purchasing boats in

delta islands and islands, generators, solar panels, construction of hostels in

pastoral and nomadic areas etc. Meanwhile, efforts are being made to connect

hard to reach areas with the rest of the country to ensure accessibility

throughout the country. Ongoing development projects being implemented in

underserved areas are fully funded. During Medium term focus, the Government

will continue to fund other identified and economically viable projects in these

areas and ensure that they are completed in time, preferably within one financial

year. Meanwhile, Public Service pay and Incentive Policy which will include

attracting and retaining technical staff in LGAs employed will be developed by

the Government.

Page 86: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

75

125. Staff identified for transfer as part of the Council restructuring process,

should be budgeted for in the council in which they are currently employed,

unless their transfer has been agreed and the new council has accepted them.

Estimates of the costs of transfers should be noted in the council budget

documents and brought to the attention of MoFEA and PMORALG for financing as

appropriate.

Other Transfers (Subventions)

Allocation of Sectoral specific Block Grants;

126. Block Grant for Education: The purpose of the Education Block Grant is

for the effective administration and delivery of primary, secondary and adult

education at the council level, including school operating costs. The following

conditions will guide the use of the education block grant funds for primary and

secondary education during the medium term:-

(i) LGAs should abide by all standards and procedures in the delivery of

primary and secondary education as set forth by the MoEVT;

(ii) LGAs should budget a capitation grant for primary schools at an average

of Tshs. 10,000 per enrolled pupil per annum including those in special

schools; the budgeting for this should be done at school level and the

capitation fund should be used for text books, teaching and learning

materials, maintenance, minor repairs, furniture, and school

administration;

(iii) LGAs should budget a capitation grant for secondary schools at an

average of Tsh. 20,000.00 per enrolled student per annum; the budgeting

for this should be done at school level and the capitation fund should be

used for text books, teaching and learning materials, maintenance, minor

repairs, furniture, and school administration;

Page 87: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

76

(iv) LGAs should budget an average of Tsh. 1,500.00 per student per school

day for meals in boarding (registered primary and secondary) schools;

and

(v) LGAs should also ensure budgeting and effective collection of Tsh.

20,000.00 for each student enrolled in Day Secondary Schools and Tsh.

70,000.00 for each student enrolled in Boarding Secondary Schools as

part of Capitation fund from Council own sources through cost sharing

basis.

127. Block Grant Allocation for Health: The purpose of the Health Block

Grant is to provide funds for the operation and delivery of primary health care

services at council level, including district hospitals, health centres, and

dispensaries, as well as for local health programmes such as immunization and

health education.

128. Funds for medicines and medical supplies required for local health

facilities will be allocated to each LGA and the actual releases will go directly to

the Medical Stores Department (MSD). The MoHSW will continue with overall

responsibility of coordinating the quality and availability of medicines and

hospital supplies in line with implementation of the National Health Policy, 1997

as revised in 2007. As per CAG‟s Report for the year 2007/2008, each LGA is

required to maintain proper accounts for the medicines and hospital supplies

received from MSD and the balance of funds standing to its credit with MSD.

129. Local Government Authorities will be allocated the Health Block Grant in

line with the Comprehensive Council Health Plan Guidelines (CCHP) issued by

MoHSW The allocation will be of two types which are:-

(i) Allocation per cost centre such as DMOs‟ office, Council‟s and

Voluntary Agencies‟ Hospitals, Health Centres, Dispensaries and

Community interventions.

Page 88: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

77

(ii) Allocation by type of expenditure such as allowances, transport,

training and maintenance. The allocation guidance by cost centres and

type of expenditure should follow the arrangement set in the CCHP

guideline.

130. The following conditions must be followed by councils in the use of the

health block grant funds:-

(i) LGAs should set their own performance objectives and targets within the

context of the Guidelines for Preparation of Comprehensive Council Health

Plan, taking into account the interventions, conditions and priorities set in

each cost centre;

(ii) LGAs should only budget PE funds for employees in the Designated

District Hospitals (DDH) and Voluntary Agencies Hospitals (VAH) who are

recruited through LGAs‟ and MoHSW‟s arrangements. Employees working

under the terms of other employers than the Government will continue be

paid by those employers. The OC for DDHs, VAH and other Health

Facilities will be financed by the Government based on the priority areas

of support as approved by the respective LGAs in the CCHP.

(iii) The budget for medicines and hospital supplies will be purchased from

MSD under the curative sub vote (the cost centre for DMO‟s Office). All

funds for drugs and medical supplies will be deposited with MSD so as to

enable bulk purchases and distribution. LGAs will order from MSD depots

according to their requirements and within their budget allocation ceilings.

MSD is hereby instructed to maintain a separate account for each LGA

wherein deposits of funds are made and withdrawals in terms of value of

drugs requisitioned are maintained and share reports with LGAs on

quarterly basis. MoHSW and PMORALG will make arrangements for

ensuring that this is done.

Page 89: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

78

131. Block Grant for Agricultural and Livestock Development Services:

The purpose of the Agriculture Block Grant is to enable LGAs to administer and

deliver effective agricultural and livestock extension services and thus raising

productivity and ensuring food security within their areas of jurisdiction. LGAs

should allocate Agriculture Block Grant funds to cover the recurrent cost of

providing basic training and support to the farmers and for assistance in livestock

development. The following are sector specific conditions to guide the allocation

of the grant:-

(i) LGAs should allocate Agriculture Block Grant funds to the maximum of

20% for the administration of agricultural and livestock extension activities

at the council level;

(ii) LGAs should allocate at least 80% of Agriculture Block Grant for funding

agriculture and livestock extension activities at the Ward and Village

levels, in accordance with the provisions of the District Agriculture

Development Plans (DADPs);

(iii) LGAs should coordinate all stakeholders in determining the priorities for

implementation of Kilimo Kwanza initiatives as described in Chapter Six

(Medium Term Focus at Macro/National level) and ensure effective

implementation in their areas of jurisdiction.

132. Block Grant for Council Roads: The Road Block Grant is meant to

provide funding for the core maintenance of council roads as well as meeting the

costs of administering the councils Engineering Department. The amount availed

to LGAs is, expectedly not substantial because more funds are allocated through

Road Fund mainly for the same purpose. LGAs should use the Road Block Grant

funds to cover the cost of maintaining the existing local road network and not for

capital development purposes.

Page 90: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

79

133. Block Grant for Water: The purpose of the Water Block Grant is to

provide recurrent funding for local water activities, including the monitoring of

local access to potable water and implementation of new local water schemes for

underserved communities. Once development of such schemes is completed, the

actual operation and maintenance (O&M) of the schemes is to be handed over to

semi autonomous local water providers such as user groups, local water boards,

or incorporated water authorities. Councils should ensure that water users

establish funds for the operation and maintenance of water supply schemes from

user fees or community contributions, though the LGA may, depending on

availability of funds, provide support as additional funding from time to time.

134. The following instructions should be observed by each LGA in the

preparation of their plans and budgets for the use of Water Block Grant:-

(i) LGAs should abide by all standards in the monitoring and support of local

water delivery as set forth by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation.

(ii) LGAs should allocate the Water Block Grant funds to cover the recurrent

cost of monitoring access to potable water across the district and the

administrative expenses for implementing new water schemes for

underserved communities.

(iii) LGAs may allocate expenditure not exceeding 20% of the total grant for

supporting post-construction maintenance of water schemes in addition to

the maintenance funded from community resources.

(iv) LGAs may allocate expenditure not exceeding 60% to finance activities to

promote ownership of water schemes among communities and to support

their sustainability.

(v) Urban councils should use the Water Block Grant funds to improve water

access for underserved or underserved per-urban areas.

Page 91: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

80

135. The General Purpose Grant: The General Purpose Grant (GPG) is an

unconditional, equalizing grant whose purpose is to support council

administration. It enables LGAs to expand their revenue bases and provide some

additional local services, particularly outside the grant-aided sectors. GPG along

with local own source revenues are used to finance basic council administration

costs. Councils are allowed to use part of GPG funds for co-funding development

projects under the LGDG system. Otherwise, GPG is directed to such non grant

aided sectors including Administration, Planning, Finance and Accounts,

Community Development, Trade, Cooperatives, Natural Resources, Lands and

Cultural Development.

Other Recurrent Transfers (Subventions) to LGAs;

136. Health Sector Basket Fund (HSBF): HSBF resources are used to

supplement the OC funds provided under the Health Block Grant for the

operation and delivery of primary health care services at council level, including

district hospitals, health centres, and dispensaries, as well as local health

programmes such as immunization and health education. The same formula are

the one used for allocating the Health Block Grant is employed in allocating

financial resources from the HSBF.

137. Road Fund maintenance budget: The Road Fund resources are being

allocated between the Central Government and the Local Government on a 7:3

ratio. During the medium term, the formula described above for the Road Block

Grant will be applied in allocating the ceilings for the 30% share from the Roads

Fund. Each LGA will be allocated funds with specific ceilings for “Road Fund

Maintenance Budget” and transfer of road funds will be affected directly from the

Treasury to the respective LGAs.

Page 92: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

81

138. Likewise, there has been infrastructure problem in Dar es Salaam City

which causes close to intolerable high traffic jams, floods and wastage of time

and resources on the road. It is exceedingly difficult to keep the City clean and

has become insecure. To address these problems, Municipal Councils in Dar es

Salaam are called upon to allocate more funds.

139. HIV and AIDS Subventions: LGAs will continue to play a critical role in

addressing the HIV and AIDS pandemic in Tanzania. The National Multi-Sectoral

Framework (NMSF) recognizes that many activities can only be successfully

implemented at the local level, whether they are targeting prevention, care and

treatment or mitigating the impact of HIV and AIDS. As a result, the Government

has derived a mechanism to increase ownership and accountability at the LGA

level for the planning and implementation of HIV and AIDS interventions,

through the introduction of the “NMSF Grant” from TACAIDS to LGAs.

140. The NMSF Grant for HIV and AIDS for the medium term of 2010/11 –

2012/13 will be allocated based on the following formula: Population (70%), the

number of poor residents (10%); District Medical vehicle route (10%), and the

council‟s estimated HIV and AIDS prevalence rate (10%). LGAs are responsible

for budgeting resources to local prioritized targets and activities.

141. The following conditions are to be observed in using the NMSF Grant

funds for HIV and AIDS:-

(i) Each LGA should have a functioning Council Multi-Sectoral HIV and AIDS

Committee.

(ii) LGAs should have an existing plan and budget consistent with the

guidance from TACAIDS, PMO-RALG and the MoHSW.

(iii) LGAs should abide by all technical and professional regulations of MoHSW

and MLYD, including the delivery of Voluntary Testing and Counselling

services.

Page 93: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

82

(iv) LGAs should ensure that HIV and AIDS targets and activities are

developed and coded within their MTEFs as “Objective A” to enable

tracking of expenditure. TACAIDS has developed the “minimum package

of interventions” which encompasses key areas including prevention, care

and impact mitigation activities, as earmarked in the National Multi-

Sectoral Framework of 2008 – 2012;

(v) All activities developed under “Objective A” should be implemented and

reported accordingly by the Council Director assisted by the HIV and

AIDS Coordinator, whereby transparency, participation and accountability

must be observed through Multi-Sectoral Committees at all levels;

(vi) The allocation ranges given above are for the overall budget and therefore

funds should not be used for long term or costly training as well as any

assets whose unit cost exceeds the value of two million (Tshs.

2,000,000);

(vii) Purchase of medicines from other sources is only allowed when the

Council has evidence that MSD medicine items are out of stock at the

time of order. RMO and regional pharmacist should verify and approve

the procurement procedure.

(viii) Budgeted funds will be disbursed into a separate bank account for HIV

funds managed by the Council Directors;

(ix) Priority will be given to support programmes with a good performance

record of reaching the end user namely PLHIVs and their primary carers

within the household and community, including CBOs, NGOs, FBOs, with

special focus on organisations-led and composed of PLHIVs; and

(x) All LGAs are required to submit quarterly HIV and AIDS technical and

financial reports to PMO-RALG for consolidation.

Page 94: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

83

Anti-Corruption Strategy and Action Plan

142. LGAs are required to introduce systems of integrity; accountability and

transparency by institutionalizing Integrity Committees which are functional build

their capacity and also that of the community based organisations, service

deliverers and outlets for combating corruption. Activities related to anti-

corruption should be budgeted from own source and GPG allocation under

Objective B to enable tracking of expenditure.

Development Funds

143. Similar to the recurrent sectoral block grants, LGAs will also continue to

receive development transfers through the Local Government Development Grant

(LGDG) system. Through the LGDG System, discretionary Council Development

Grants (CDG) and Capacity Building Grants (CBG) as well as sector-specific

development grants for agriculture (ASDG), water (WSDG), health (HSDG) and

education (ESDG) will be provided.

The Local Government Development Grant (LGDG) System

144. The Government has been implementing a unified system known as the

Local Government Development Grant (LGDG) Government Capital Development

Grant (LGCDG). This LGDG System provides formula-based discretionary and

sector-specific development funding to LGAs. During the medium term the

Government will seek to harmonize sources of development funds to LGAs so as

to have the LGDG system as the main mechanism for channeling all development

funds to LGAs.

145. LGAs will be assessed in nine key areas as explained in the 2008

Assessment Manual in order to determine the performance based level of

funding to LGAs‟ development projects. The System seeks to promote

compliance with national policies and regulatory frameworks as well as creating

an incentive system that allows for adjustment of the annual grant allocation to

Page 95: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

84

each LGA depending on the level of achievements against the set of minimum

conditions and performance indicators.

146. The development transfers under the LGDG System adhere to the

following five common principles:-

(i) The allocations are based on an objective, equitable, efficient and

transparent formula;

(ii) The allocations are performance-based and subject to a common

performance assessment;

(iii) The rules of the LGDG system are universally applied and all councils that

qualify should receive formula based allocations;

(iv) There is only a single PMO-RALG managed approval and disbursement

process for all windows of the LGDG system, guided by a single LGDG

System Steering Committee.; and

(v) The LGDG system transfer resources, in combination with other recurrent

and development grants and own source revenues, are to be spent by

the LGAs on line with locally determined priorities as captured in the

council plans and budgets thus promoting local governance, autonomy,

accountability and ownership.

147. The LGDG will flow to LGAs through Council Development Grants (CDGs),

and the Capacity Building Grants (CBGs), as well as sector specific grants

integrated into the system. In 2010/11 the sector-specific grants will be for

sector specific windows for the Agriculture, Water, and Education and Health

sectors. During the medium term, it is expected that a separate sector window

for roads will also be established to facilitate the flow of development funding for

roads to the LGAs.

Page 96: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

85

Council Development Grants (CDG)

148. The Council Development Grant (CDG) is provided to enable the LGAs to

construct and rehabilitate infrastructure, according to locally-defined priorities

guided by a broad investment menu, with a view to empowering communities,

improving service delivery and reducing poverty. Those not meeting the

minimum conditions will only receive 25% of their CDG entitlements but under

strict supervision of PMO-RALG and the Regions during which time such councils

will improve performance so that allocations may improve in the following years.

149. As it was the case in the previous years, the CDG will be allocated based

on the following formula: 70% is distributed to LGAs in proportion to the size of

population, 10% is distributed to LGAs in proportion to the (capped) land area,

and 20% is distributed to LGAs in proportion to the estimated number of poor

residents in each council area.

150. All LGAs will be classified on an aggregate performance score with

minimum passing scores in each functional area. Each LGA will get a minimum

amount of CDG ranging from 25% to 100% of their entitlements depending on

the assessment performance. LGAs classified as “Very Good” performers will

receive 100% of the entitled allocation, those classified as “Good” will receive

80% while those classified as “Poor” will receive 50% of the entitled allocation.

LGAs which fail to meet the minimum conditions will receive 25% of the entitled

LGDG allocation, subject to strict oversight from PMO-RALG and Regions. The

oversight will be guided by compliance action plans that will be developed and

passed by respective LGAs so that they can finally qualify for receipt of CDG.

151. PMO-RALG and the Regions will identify the causes for non-compliance for

those LGAs which fail to meet the minimum conditions and take corrective and

disciplinary actions. Those LGAs will also prepare a “Compliance Action Plan for

LGDG” which identifies the problems, identifies the necessary remedial action to

Page 97: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

86

bring the LGA into compliance, and identifies a timeline of action with clear

milestones to enable the council to monitor progress towards attaining full

compliance to the minimum standards the following year. According to the

Assessment Manual the RS will monitor respective LGAs on a monthly basis while

such monitoring will be undertaken by PMO-RALG on quarterly basis.

Capacity Building Grants (CBG)

152. Through the LGDG System, a discretionary Capacity Building Grant (CBG)

is also to assist LGAs to improve their capacity and performance. All LGAs should

meet the following conditions in order to access CBG:-

(i) They should prepare and approve capacity building plans; and

(ii) They should have accounted for CBG funds issued to them in the previous

years.

153. Using CBG funds, LGAs will be able to pay for demand driven training

interventions and other capacity building activities such as technical assistance

study of other LGAs best practices, retooling etc. As set out in the LGDG System

Implementation and Operations Guide, a minimum of 40% of the CBG should be

utilized at Ward, Village and Mtaa levels in order to capture locally determined

priorities. LGAs that do not meet the LGDG Minimum Conditions will receive

100% CBG but with close supervision by PMO-RALG and the Regions based on

the agreed compliance action plans. By this arrangement such LGAs will be able

to improve their capacity sooner rather than later.

Utilization of LGDG

154. As it was the case in the past, during the medium term, LGDG funds will

continue to be used for a broad range of investments in infrastructure and

service provision within the mandates of the LGAs. The CDG is a non-sectoral

discretionary development transfer to LGAs for development expenditures to

enable implementation of new infrastructure or rehabilitation of existing stock.

Page 98: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

87

Utilization of the LGDG funds should be in strict observance of the following

guidelines:-

(i) LGAs should allocate and contribute 5% of the cost of the CDG funded

project and this percentage should come from GPG and own source

revenues;

(ii) By no means should CDG grant funds be used to fund routine recurrent

operations and maintenance activities, although a portion can be used to

provide equipment and supplies needed for newly completed

development projects in order to make them fully operational;

(iii) Costs of planning, appraisal, monitoring and supervision may be allocated

up to 15 to ensure strong planning and project implementation at the

local level;

(iv) The key poverty reduction areas of health, education, water and

sanitation, roads and agriculture should attract up to 80% of the CDG

funds;

(v) 50% of the value of projects that attract CDG funding should be identified

and implemented at the Villages or Mitaa level through the procedures set

out in the Planning and Budgeting Guidelines for Villages and Mitaa; and

(vi) Not more than 60% of CBG funds should be spent on investments at the

Higher Local Government Authorities (HLGAs) level.

Agriculture Sector Development Grant (ASDG)

155. Development activities under the Agriculture Sector Development

Programme (ASDG) at district level are to be implemented by each LGA, based

on a District Agricultural Development Plans (DADP) which is part of the Council

Strategic Plan. The Government will continue to provide development grant

(ASDP) funds for that purpose.

156. As it is to be expected the bulk of ASDP expenditures at LGA level are

funded through the following three types of fiscal grant transfers:-

Page 99: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

88

(i) District Agricultural Development Grant (DADG);

(ii) Agricultural Extension Block Grant (A-EBG);

(iii) Agricultural Capacity Building Grant (A-CBG); and

(iv) For the medium term, these grants will be directed at implementing the

national blueprint of Kilimo Kwanza.

157. Consistent with the LGDG System, these agriculture development grants

are allocated by formula and released to LGAs based on the LGDG performance

assessment results. As with the discretionary CDG grant, LGAs are assessed and

classified into performance categories which will determine the amount of the

Agriculture Development Grant to be received, which will range from 50% to

100% of the formula-based entitlement as per the LGDG Assessment Manual.

District Agricultural Development Grant (DADG)

158. LGAs will receive the DADG to fund local agricultural development

expenditures; each LGAs will be allocated DADG funds of either 50%, 80% or

100% depending on its LGDG performance assessment. As it will be the case

with CDG, any LGA not meeting the minimum conditions will receive 50% and be

but under strict close supervision from PMO-RALG and RS as per the 2008 LDGD

Assessment Manual. The supervision will enable the LGA to perform better and

qualify for receipt of full grant entitlement.

159. The DADG will support implementation of community priorities identified

in the DADPs on a cost-sharing basis, with beneficiaries contributing additional

labour and materials in varying proportions, depending on the nature of the

investment. All activities and investments will be identified in accordance with

local needs, as determined through local participatory planning and budget

processes, and in line with the LGDG system. This arrangement will enable local

priorities to be funded.

Page 100: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

89

160. Eligible investments qualifying for financing include: environmental

investments; public infrastructure, such as rural roads; small-scale irrigation

schemes; group or community investments of a small scale productive nature;

group or community investments in risk bearing (locally) innovative equipment.

Others include agricultural inputs (seeds, fertilizers and agro-chemicals), that

would ordinarily not be eligible for cost-sharing, unless they are part of

participatory technology development activities.

Agricultural Extension Block Grant (A-EBG)

161. It will provide funding for both public extension services, as a Government

contribution, and for Non State Actors. The A-EBG is expected to be a shot in the

arm for the development of the agricultural sector. Careful use of this grant

coupled with proper supervision of delivery of extension services will contribute

much to the success of the Kilimo Kwanza blueprint. The grant will be allocated

on formula basis and in line with the performance assessment and conditions as

outlined in the 2008 LGDG Assessment Manual.

Agricultural Capacity Building Grant (A-CBG)

162. The A-CBG is also a sub-component of the ASDG which provides financing

of LGAs capacity building in the context of Agricultural Development. The A-CBG

will be used to improve functional areas to meet the minimum conditions and to

improve on the performance criteria in subsequent years to access higher

resource transfers. Each LGA will receive a capacity building grant. LGAs which

do not meet the minimum conditions will receive 100% of their entitlement but

will be put under close supervision by PMO-RALG and RS in collaboration with

the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives.

163. The initial focal areas of the capacity building grant should be on

improving district agricultural planning, agricultural investment appraisal and

review, agricultural services reform, and enhancing stakeholder engagement.

Page 101: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

90

LGAs should develop a capacity building plan to systematically identify the

capacity building priorities to be funded through the CBG.

164. The allocation of DADG and A-EBG of the ASDP will be allocated according

to the same formula as the Agriculture Recurrent Block Grant: Number of

Villages - 80%; Rural Population - 10%; and Rainfall Index - 10%. The allocation

to be received by each LGA will depend on performance assessment whereby

“Very good” performers will receive 100%, “Good” performers will receive 80%,

and “poor” performers will receive 50% of the entitlement while “failed”

performers (those not meeting the minimum conditions) will receive 50% under

strict oversight by PMO-RALG and the RS.

Water Sector Development Grant (WSDG)

165. The Government has been implementing a Water Sector Development

Program (WSDP), which includes a component on National Water Supply and

Sanitation Program (NWSSP). The objective of the NWSSP is to strengthen

decentralized planning, project preparation, funding, implementation and

management through local governments as well as developing and implement

strategies for sanitation, hygiene promotion and communication.

166. The Water Sector Development Grant (WSDG) has been established as a

window of the LGDG system and this grant consists of a “Water Sector

Development Grant” (WSDG-CDG) and a “Capacity Building Grant” (NWSSP-

CBG).

167. The WSDG CDG is allocated based on a formula whose variables are the

total underserved population which attracts 70% of the grant pool and

technological options which attracts 30% of the grant pool. The release of the

Water Sector Development Grant (WSDG) funds will be determined by the level

of performance status. LGAs classified as “Very Good” will receive 100%. LGAs

Page 102: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

91

classified as “Good” will receive 80% while LGAs classified as “Poor” will receive

50%. LGAs which fail to meet the minimum conditions are classified as “Failed”

and will receive 50% but with close supervision from PMO-RALG and RS, in

collaboration with the Ministry of Water and Irrigation.

168. The WSDG CBG is allocated on an equal lump-sum basis. All LGAs will be

allocated 100% of the NWSSP-CBG. However, those councils not meeting the

minimum conditions will be subject to strict supervision from PMO-RALG and RS,

in collaboration with the Ministry of Water and Irrigation.

169. The WSDG CDG funds can be used for implementation of infrastructures

such as drilling of boreholes, construction of dams, installation of pumps,

construction of piped systems, and construction of demonstration latrines.

170. WSDG-CBG funds may be used in creating and strengthening District

Water Sanitation Teams (DWSTs) within LGAs, enabling them to prepare NWSS

Plans and appraise NWSS Projects proposed by communities. This will involve

rehabilitation and construction of offices, logistical support (vehicles,

motorcycles, computers, photocopiers and fax machines). Likewise the fund will

be used in ICT operations; monitoring of NWSS services delivery; building

community capacities to properly maintain and operate their facilities; and

promoting hygiene, sanitation, and HIV and AIDS mitigation and prevention.

Health Sector Development Grant (HSDG)

171. This grant which is a window within the LGDG system for providing

earmarked health-related development funds will be used for implementing the

Primary Health Services Development Programme (MMAM).

172. The HSDG funds will be allocated according to the same formula as the

Health Recurrent Block Grant, which accounts for 70% Population, 10% Number

of poor residents, 10% Council medical vehicle route, and 10% Under-five

mortality. The fund will be released to LGAs based on the LGDG performance

Page 103: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

92

assessment process. LGAs which are classified as “Very Good” will receive

100%, “Good” will receive 80% and “Poor” will receive 50%. Those LGAs not

meeting the minimum LGDG conditions will receive 50% but under strict

oversight by PMO-RALG and RS, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and

Social Welfare.

Education Sector Development Grant (ESDG)

173. The Education Development Grant (ESDG) which is also a window within

the LGDG system is designed to support LGAs in improving the accessibility and

quality of primary, secondary and adult education. The ESDG resources are to be

used to fund the education development priorities as identified through a local

participatory planning approach. These include construction/rehabilitation of

primary basic education infrastructures such as classrooms, administration

buildings, school-related wash rooms/latrines, desks, chairs and other education-

specific development investments.

174. The allocation of the ESDG is also formula-based. The funds are allocated

70% based on the number of school-aged children in each LGA, 20% based on

the classroom shortage (the gap between the number of classrooms required

and the actual number of classrooms, as determined by MoEVT) and 10% based

on the level of poverty. While all LGAs are eligible to receive the ESDG funds, the

actual allocation and release, will depend on the level of performance to be

determined during the assessment exercise.

175. LGAs which, upon the assessment, are classified as “Very Good” will

receive 100%, “Good” will receive 80% and “Poor” will receive 50% of the

formula-based allocation. Those LGAs not meeting the minimum LGDG

conditions will receive 50% but will be subjected to strict oversight by PMO-RALG

and RS, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training,

so that they can qualify to receive their full entitlements in the following year.

93

Other Special Development Grants and Funds to Local Governments

176. Apart from the development transfers under the LGDG System, some

LGAs will receive a variety of other development funds that will be limited to

specific regions (area-based programmes), sectors and purposes. These

transfers cover the following among others:-

(i) Participatory Agriculture Development Empowerment Project (PADEP);

(ii) District Agriculture Sector Investment Project (DASIP);

(iii) Urban Development and Environmental Management (UDEM);

(iv) Participatory Forest Management (PFM);

(v) District Irrigation Development Fund (DIDF);

(vi) Sustainable Wetland Management (SWM);

(vii) Village Travel and Transport Programme (VTTP);

(viii) Local Government Transport Programme (LGTP);

(ix) Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF);and

(x) Child Survival through UNICEF Grant Support.

177. Clearly, each of the special development grants is earmarked for specific

purposes and allocated based on purpose-specific criteria. These development

funds should be allocated, planned and budgeted in accordance with the Local

Government Acts and relevant financial management regulations as well as the

specific conditions attached to each special development grant as determined by

the specific sector ministries, PMO-RALG and MOFEA. LGAs which receive these

special development grants should consult the specific requirements and

regulations and hold discussions with PMO-RALG and the various sector

ministries for guidance as required and appropriate. These additional funding

streams are meant to augment the development efforts being made with funding

from the major grants elucidated above.

Page 105: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

94

Harmonization of Development Grants

178. The numerous numbers of Development Grants and funding sources to

LGAs, with different allocation formulae and conditions of access are obviously

confusing to the extent of impinging on good governance and accountability.

They therefore call for an early harmonization. MOFEA will therefore lead PMO-

RALG and the relevant sector Ministries in this exercise so that each year of the

medium term can progressively witness harmonization of the various

development funding flows into the Local Government Development Grant

(LGDG) system. The plan is to harmonize and merge all the development grants

into the LGDG system by the year 2012/13.

Tanzania Strategic Cities Project (TSCP)

179. The main thrust of the TSCP is to improve the quality of and access to

urban services in seven Urban Local Government Authorities namely, Mwanza,

Arusha, Mbeya, Mtwara, Kigoma, Tanga and Dodoma. The project will be

implemented for five years from 2010/11 and has the following components:

(i) Core Urban Infrastructure and Services Component for which an

estimated USD 128.6 million will be used for construction of urban roads

and drainage systems, improving street lighting and managing liquid and

solid waste;

(ii) Institutional Strengthening Component for which an estimated USD 9.68

million will be used for various capacity building interventions for staff in

respective LGAs including training, retooling, coaching, on-job mentoring

and attachments; and

(iii) Implementation Support Component for which an estimated USD 11.72

million will be spent on enhancing capacity of PMO-RALG in project

management, monitoring, reporting, environmental and social safeguards

and audit systems, preparing future urban projects including a separate

Page 106: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

95

one for Dar Es Salaam city, and undertaking a study on municipal finance

and creditworthiness.

Overall Budgetary Issues and Guidance

180. Needless to say, during the medium term plan, all Regions and LGAs will,

just like the MDAs, be guided by the general instructions provided in Chapter

Nine (Institutional Responsibilities) of this document. They are however also

expected to observe the following specific instructions as appropriate:-

(i) In carrying out its functions, each LGA is required to adhere to the

principles of good governance which call for participation, transparency

and accountability. In this regard, communication of relevant information

to relevant stakeholders and submission of quality plans and budgets are

very important;

(ii) Each council is responsible for ensuring that provision for enhancing

capacities in planning and budget of Council, Ward and Village or Mtaa

level is made in its budget;

(iii) Each LGA should submit its approved annual plan and budget to PMO-

RALG and MOFEA through the respective Regional Secretariat for scrutiny,

and consolidation and inclusion in the draft national plan and budget to be

presented to the National Assembly;

(iv) Each LGA should capture all financial resources from own sources,

intergovernmental transfers (recurrent and development), subventions

and other development sources in the MTEF Document and that those

resources are geared towards financing the approved Council plans;

(v) All Councils are required to re-budget funds that remained unspent at the

end of the last financial year. This procedure should be done to ensure

that the unused funds are reported on, and that such funds form part and

parcel of the budget for the new financial year;

(vi) LGAs‟ Internal Audit Units should be provided with adequate recurrent

(OC) budget and strengthened in terms of facilities including transport so

that they can carry out their functions effectively and efficiently;

Page 107: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

96

(vii) LGAs should budget for expenses of relocating employees who are

expected to be transferred during the financial year. All transfers should

be limited to a maximum of 3% of the total number of employees per

annum; and

(viii) Each LGA should ensure that, first charge priority in the allocation of funds

include outstanding statutory debts owed to employees such as staff

salary arrears and payment of goods and services received from suppliers.

In this case, each LGA should not commit any expenditure where funds

are not available. In particular, LGAs are urged to strictly adhere to the

International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) which require

recognition of debts as they occur. The final accounts should capture all

such debts which are, in the unlikely event, accumulated during the

financial year. So the question of ad hoc verification of staff claims and

other debts as it has been the case in the past should not occur in future.

The Government will continue to build the capacity for the relevant staff in

LGAs so as to step up compliance with IPSAS.

delivery. Thus, pay determines motivation and the level of skills the public

service can attract recruit and retain.

Achievements

185. The achievements registered in the implementation of pay reform include:

CHAPTER FIVE

THE PUBLIC ENTERPRISES

205. This Chapter presents an overview of management and performance of the

public enterprises, their contribution to Government revenue, achievements,

challenges, and the way forward.

206. The government owns various investments in different sectors. According to

the Treasury Registrar Statement of 30th June 2009 there are 225 public

institutions, whereby 164 institutions are owned by government per verse and 61

institutions by interests in terms of joint venture. The total value investments in

Public Enterprises has increased from Tshs. 5,281.90 billion as at 30th June, 2008 to

Tshs. 6,284.04 billion as at 30th June, 2009.

Management of Public Enterprises

207. Management of government enterprises is governed by different enactments.

These include; The Treasury Registrar Ordinance No. 35 of 1959 as amended; The

Public Corporations Act Cap 257 as amended; The Public Finance Act Cap 348 as

amended; The Public Service Act Cap. 298; and The Executive Agencies Act, Cap.

245. The Government‟s thrust is to ensure improved performance and sustainability

of the public enterprises and strengthening the monitoring and evaluation

mechanism and accountability.

208. The Government has been undertaking reforms in the management of public

enterprises with the aim of increasing revenue, productivity and reduction of

financial burden to the Government. As at 30th June 2009, 27 enterprises were

under reform process while 12 enterprises were under liquidation.

209. In the course of managing enterprises, some enterprises faced financial

constraints for the year under review and had to get government support amounting

to Tsh. 71.78 billion, where by TANESCO received a total of Tsh. 39.07 billion,

Page 119: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

108

RAHCO Tsh. 2.28 billion, ATCL Tsh. 18.24 billion and TRL Tsh. 12.19 billion. The

aforementioned institutions may call for more funding because of their ailing

financial position.

Contribution of Public Enterprises to the Government Coffers

210. The public enterprises contribute to the government coffers through payment

of dividends, corporate tax which is remitted direct to TRA, and other remittances

and levies in the case of commercial enterprises. A summary of revenue collection

for the last four years (2005/06 to 2008/09) is indicated as follows:-

Table 5.1: Revenue Collection from Public Institutions

Source: Annual Treasury Registrar Statements

211. The amount collected in respect of dividends, loan repayments and other

proceeds as at 30th June 2009 shows that the total collection of Government

revenue by the Treasury Registrar during the year 2008/09 was Tshs 84.12 billion

compared to Tshs 76.95 billion collected during 2007/08, being an increase of Tshs

7.17 billion. The increase in revenue realized in 2008/09 was due to the proceeds

from Initial Public Offering (IPO) of 16% of Government shares in NMB Plc. The

proceeds of 5% shares allocated to NMB employees will be realized in the financial

year 2009/10. Noted from the above table, is the drastic decrease in revenues from

Tshs. 60,696 billion in year 2005/06 to shs.26,054 billion in 2006/07. However, the

same increased to shs.76.951 in year 2007/08 attributed by the fact that,

remittances during year 2006/07 came from Loans Advances Realization Trust

(LART) alone, while in year 2007/08 more institutions remitted their surpluses. The

dividend also increased substantially due to BOT payment which included arrears

due in year 2006/07. Similarly more institutions also joined the list of dividend

109

payers such as E.A.Cables, Tanzania News Papers (TSN), and Tanzania Italian

Petroleum Refinery (TIPER).

212. The Government Institutions which have been established to regulate and

oversee certain activities or areas are empowered by their establishing legislations to

impose various levies, charges and fees and retain them. In view of this, the

Government resolved to tap such revenues from these institutions by empowering

the Minister responsible for Finance to access the surpluses generated through the

Finance Act, 2008. The Government has issued a circular which instructs these

institutions and agencies that operate commercially to contribute 10% of their

revenue to the consolidated fund. Therefore, it is anticipated that contribution to the

Government coffers will improve gradually.

213. Achievements: During the period under review, notable achievements have

been realized. These include:

(i) Increased productivity and improved performance of some enterprises such

as TCC, TBL, ZAIN, NMB, NBC, Aluminium Africa, Twiga Cement and Tanga

Cement;

(ii) Increased revenue flows to the public coffers through dividends, receipt of

taxes and privatization proceeds ;

(iii) Increased value of Government investments in public enterprises from Tshs

5.1 trillion in 2007/08 to Tshs. 6.4 trillion in year 2008/09;

(iv) Improved services delivery and quality products by good performing

enterprises;

(v) Use of improved modern technology to privatized public enterprises;

(vi) Empowerment of indigenous to acquire ownership in privatized enterprises;

(vii) Establishment of a new Public enterprise Management Services to enhance

and increased efficiency in scrutiny of public Institutions‟ organization

structure, schemes of service, and personal emoluments before and after

budget as a way to improve public finance management; and

(viii) Improved financial management accountability on public institutions; for

example, there is a reduction in an average lag period of submission of

Page 121: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

110

audited financial statements from four years to a year by comparing the

position as at 30th June 2006 and 30th June 2009.

Challenges

214. Despite the aforementioned achievements, the following challenges need to

be addressed:

(i) Reducing budgetary burden on the Government to economically non-viable

institutions;

(ii) Ensuring that public enterprises that have been diversified continue to meet

the intended objectives for which they were established;

(iii) Sustaining the public enterprises divestiture momentum in light of coming to

an end of the Project on Privatization and Private Sector Development which

supported the parastatals divestiture process;

(iv) Effective oversight of parastatals and Government Institutions;

(v) Conflicting legislations establishing and governing operations of public

institutions ;

(vi) Capitalization of the remaining public institutions and strategic joint ventures ;

(vii) Controlling the ever rising and competing levels of salaries and remunerative

allowances paid to staff and board members of public enterprises thus

becoming a lasting drain to public resources and unnecessary burden to the

taxpayer; and

(viii) Strengthening the internal management of public institutions including the

oversight role of Boards over Management.

Way Forward

215. In collaboration with CHC, the post privatization monitoring exercise will

continue to be undertaken and where necessary corrective measures will be

executed. The aim is at most to tap the benefits from the divestiture of the Public

enterprises.

216. To enhance mechanism for scrutinization of funds demand by parastatals in

terms of capital and debts settlements by ensuring that project viability is

111

determined beforehand in line with the most priority areas outlined in these

guidelines. Also, control growth of contingent debts stock and arrears in contractual

debts in order to accrue the long term socio-economic benefits.

217. To enhance scrutinization mechanism of public institutions‟ organization

structure, schemes of service and salary structure to attain timely, accurate, and

rationalized pay structure to the public institutions. Further, early steps would be

taken by the Government to keep in check and harmonize the levels of salaries and

allowances paid to staff and board members of public enterprises having regard to

the performance of the economy.

CHAPTER SIX

THE MEDIUM- TERM PUBLIC INVESTMENT PLAN

218. This chapter presents a summary of the Medium Term Public Investment Plan

(MPIP) 2010/11 – 2014/15, which the Government intends to set out economic

investment priorities needed to realize the medium term vision of unlocking

Tanzania‟s Growth Potentials – a Better Life for All through strategic investment in

physical infrastructure that will stimulate economic growth. Further to that, the Plan

seeks to guide public investments into strategic areas of intervention to achieve the

national development agenda as enunciated in the National Development Vision

2025. The primary focus of MPIP is on development of physical infrastructure, an

area which is known to have serious market failures. In view of this, prioritization

for the MPIP is directed towards improvement of transport and communication

infrastructure; energy and power supply; water harvesting infrastructure for

irrigation and “Kilimo Kwanza”; industrial parks and commercial areas development;

and making Tanzania a logistical hub for fuel distribution. Other focus areas include

use of natural resources to leverage the development of the physical infrastructure;

skills development; land-use planning as well as urban infrastructure development to

address current and future supply constraints of an expanding economy. These are

broad key priority areas extracted from the main MPIP Document for implementation

over the medium term.

Tanzania Development Path to realization of Vision 2025

219. Looking at the long term development picture as depicted by the Vision 2025,

the economy is still a long way to attain the key milestones. The Vision anticipated

that by the year 2025, the economy would grow to a middle income level status with

per capita income of US$ 2500. A quantitative and qualitative assessment of the

progress reached so far indicates that, GDP has registered a steady growth,

averaging 6.8 percent per annum over the past nine years.

220. The projections using Macro-economic Modeling (MACMOD) indicate two

growth scenarios for Tanzania‟s development path; comparing growth in per capita

Page 124: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

113

income “with” and “without” MPIP intervention. The “without”, that is business as

usual scenario, indicates that the per capita income would maximally grow to at

most US$ 870 by 2015. Whereas, the „with‟ MPIP interventions scenario, the per

capita income would grow- up, close to US$ 1,300 by 2015. The divergence would,

however, further widen as year 2025 is approached. It should be noted however

that the current per capita income is less than US$ 500. The figure below

exemplifies the two scenarios of per capita growth up to 2015.

The Rationale for the MPIP

221. The MPIP has been formulated to address the inherent weaknesses of the

current practice for preparation and implementation of public investment plans. The

registered weaknesses include; absence of clear guidance for identification,

appraisal, selection, monitoring, reporting and performance accountability. As such,

identified projects and programmes are hardly commensurate with the priorities to

the realization of the country‟s development agenda as they are not centrally

determined. Projects and programmes are submitted to the central ministries only

as „fait accompli‟ for adoption and for seeking financing for their implementation

Page 125: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

114

without subjecting them to any rigorous tests as to whether they meet the overall

objective criteria and consistency for attaining Vision 2025.

222. In particular, this Plan seeks to significantly remove infrastructural bottlenecks

so as to catalyse sustainable economic transformation and enhance the country‟s

international competitiveness. Thus MPIP aims to accomplish the following:-

(i) Bring about greater realignment between the various policies and

programmes;

(ii) Prioritise interventions that have strong synergies and complementarities;

(iii) Galvanise concerted efforts in order to optimise the allocation and sequencing

of public expenditure;

(iv) Provide pro-active indicators for private investors to take initiatives that will

enable them to realign their programmes with government development goals

and anticipated benefits; and

(v) Promote private sector growth by removing inherent costs which currently

make Tanzania a fragile and costly business destination and, therefore,

uncompetitive.

Objectives of the Plan

223. The overall development objective for the Medium - Term Public Investment

Plan is to accelerate broad-based economic growth, shift Tanzania from the current

production frontier to a higher level, and reduce income poverty through investment

in physical infrastructure. More specifically, the strategic objectives of the Plan over

the next five years , will be in the following investment priority areas:

(i) Rehabilitation of existing and construction of new transport and

communication infrastructure (railways, roads, ports, airports and ICT) to

make Tanzania a transportation hub and international trade gateway;

(ii) Generation, transmission and distribution of low cost energy to attract

efficiency seeking industrial and commercial investment capital;

(iii) Rehabilitation and development of new irrigation infrastructure to attain food

self sufficiency and make Tanzania a grain reserve and source of industrial

feedstock in the region;

Page 126: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

115

(iv) Effective utilization of the country‟s mineral wealth and leverage its gain for

the development of infrastructure;

(v) Improvement of the current labour force to acquire the necessary skills for

technological and industrial revolution and thus be able to compete globally;

and

(vi) Carrying out land-use planning to anticipate potential investor requirements

as well as developing urban infrastructure to address current and future

supply constraints of an expanding economy.

Strategic Interventions for the Medium Term

224. In view of the above strategic and priority areas of interventions MPIP has

recommended a set of specific projects in each area, for the next five years.

Transport Network – Roads

225. The objective is to make Tanzania more competitive to the rest of the region

through strengthening and expanding road network and thus stimulating trade and

investment particularly looking at advantage of inter and intra regional trade and

integration of markets for effective demand and economies of scale. Proposed

projects for intervention during the next five years will be on the construction of the

following roads:

(i) Sumbawanga – Mpanda - Kanyani Road (497 KM);

(ii) Kanyani – Nyakanazi Road (265 KM);

(iii) Bagamoyo _Sadaan- Tanga Road (178KM);

(iv) Dodoma – Babati Road (263 KM);

(v) Manyoni - Itigi – Tabora- Nzega (365 KM);

(vi) Itoni – Mchuchuma (250 KM);and

(vii) Kigoma(Kidahwe)- Malagarasi-Kaliua-Urambo-Tabora (464km).

Transport Network - Railways

226. The current situation in the two lines necessitates major changes and requires

strategic investment to revamp the lines to normal capacity. Concerted efforts will be

undertaken to improve efficiency and eventually competitiveness of the two railway

Page 127: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

116

lines, including providing optimal rolling stocks. More specifically, over the medium

term, MPIP will concentrate on:

(i) Upgrading the central railway line to standard gauge in conformity with

regional standard gauge;

(ii) Upgrading of sections along the Northern railway network;

(iii) Carrying out a feasibility study of the Arusha - Musoma railway line;

(iv) Construction of railway- linking the proposed Mwambani port;

(v) Improving the TAZARA Line: rehabilitation of bridges, culverts, tunnels;

(vi) Construction of the Isaka- Kigali railway line.

Transport Network – Ports

227. The primary goal is to strengthen and expand the existing ports and make

them more efficient. Focus will therefore be directed towards:-

(i) Conversion of berths number 13 and 14 to handle bulk carriers at the Dar

es Salaam Port;

(ii) Dredging of Dar Es Salaam Port entrance channel;

(iii) Establishment of Cargo Freight Stations/Dry Ports;

(iv) Development of deep berth at Mwambani, Tanga; along with the Arusha -

Musoma Railway;

(v) Mtwara Port upgrading;

(vi) Kigoma Port development; and

(vii) Mwanza Port Development.

Transport Network – Airports

228. The objective is to improve performance of the existing strategic airports by

expanding and upgrading the necessary facilities, in order to attract tourists,

stimulate trade and investment. Proposed intervention projects over the medium

term will be on the following:

(i) Dar Es Salaam: JK Nyerere International Airport: construction of a new

terminal (Terminal III);

(ii) Songwe International Airport: finalization of work;

Page 128: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

117

(iii) Mwanza International Airport: extension of runway along with construction

of new terminal and revitalization of cargo handling equipment;

(iv) Kigoma Airport: rehabilitation and upgrading of pavements to bitumen

standards to cater for the operations of B737 Series or equivalent; and

(v) Tabora Airport: rehabilitation and upgrading of pavements to bitumen

standards and construction of new terminal building, including all

associated infrastructure.

Communication - ICT

229. The main thrust here is to improve and expand communication networks,

hence making Tanzania more competitive to the rest of the world. The medium term

strategic intervention will focus on the following:

(i) Development of reliable state of the art ICT infrastructure of adequate

capacity, high-speed and country- wide coverage; and

(ii) Increase the size and quality of the domestic ICT-skilled human resource

base, in line with emerging employment and investment opportunities.

Low Cost Energy and Power Supply

230. The main objective is to bolster trade and investment by providing quality and

reliable power which is also affordable for industries and commercial services. In the

medium term, efforts will be directed towards:

(i) Doubling power generation capacity to enhance power availability, reliability

and security; and

(ii) Enhancing Tanzania‟s international trade share through connecting the

National Grid with neighbouring countries; and

(iii) Ensuring Tanzania has the least cost power supply in the region so as to

attract efficiency seeking investments.

Utilization of Natural Resource to Leverage the Infrastructure

231. Maximization of benefits from the rich natural resources particularly minerals

by enhancing its share and ploughing- back the obtained benefits for the

Page 129: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

118

development of the infrastructure required to anchor industrialization and the

country‟s competitiveness. Deliberate efforts will be made to enhance human

resources and institutional capacities to efficiently manage this vital sector and

attracting investment in value- adding activities. The medium term strategic

intervention will focus on the following:

(i) Completing exploration studies of currently known mineral deposits to enable

beneficial procurement and award of contracts for extraction of industrial

minerals; and

(ii) Promoting establishment of domestic mineral based value adding activities.

Industrial Transformation

232. Provision of basic facilities to selected industrial parks served with adequate

supportive infrastructure for efficient production and international competitiveness

by 2015. More specifically, focus will be on the following:

(i) Demarcate areas for development of industrial parks;

(ii) Provide off site supportive infrastructure for at least 10 industrial parks for

agro-processing, textile and apparels, meat and food packaging, assembly,

and lapidary; and

(iii) Effective promotion of the industrial parks to attract prospective investors

Fuel Distribution

233. The objective is leveraging Tanzania‟s strategic geographical location to

become the regional logistical hub for fuel distribution with the landlocked

neighbouring countries. Proposed set of intervention over the medium term will be

on the following:

(i) Provision of land parcel for the construction of 1100 km pipeline from Dar es

Salaam to Mwanza with an extension to Kigoma;

(ii) Establishment of an oil refinery facility at Kigamboni, Dar es Salaam;

(iii) Construction of critical tributaries for efficient oil distribution in the local

market; and

119

Irrigation Infrastructure

234. The thrust is to fully utilise the irrigation potentials available to support

economic transformation and industrialisation, such as agro-processing industries

focusing on investing in the identified areas with high irrigation potential of 2.3

million hectares. These include: Kilombero Valley Irrigation Scheme; Segeni

Irrigation Scheme; Madibira II Smallholder Irrigation Scheme; Luiche as well as Lake

Tanganyika Irrigation Basin. The centrepiece of the Green Revolution through

“Kilimo Kwanza” is irrigation to make Tanzania the hub of food and grain reserves

and industrial feedstock in the region.

Skills Development

235. The objective is to redress skills challenges, focusing on improving skills

imparting techniques, as well as, establishing new and expanding intake capacities

for the present institutions along with upgrading their training competences. .

Proposed intervention over the medium term will be on the following:

(i) Doubling enrolment capacities in science and technology polytechnics and

vocational training colleges by improving facilities and strengthening

secondary schools for talented students;

(ii) Assessing and identifying most scarce skills needed by the domestic and global

market such as in IT, oil and mineral exploration and extraction, irrigation and

construction engineering; etc.; and thus supporting them through specialized

short and long courses domestically and abroad;

(iii) Improving and expanding infrastructure in research, science and technology

aimed at developing new ideas, products and services competitively. In this

context, activities will involve establishing science parks/centres and strategic

scientific laboratories and also rationalising existing research, science,

technology and innovation facilities; and

(iv) Establishing a special Fund for supporting new technological research

inventions across sectors in the country.

120

Land Use Planning and Urban Infrastructure Improvement

236. The main thrust is to enhance country‟s capability for land use management

and easing availability of planned and services plots for industrial and human

settlements. Set of proposed interventions over the medium term include;

(i) Preparing comprehensive national, district and village land use plans;

(ii) Enhancing the availability of surveyed plots for human settlements and

industrial/commercial parks ; and establishing a land bank; and

(iii) Preparing comprehensive plans to modernise and enhance management of

Dar Es Salaam, Mwanza, Mbeya, and Arusha cities with land reserves for

provision and expansion of basic infrastructure and encouraging satellite

towns.

MPIP Implementation Framework

237. A key distinguishing feature of MPIP is the adoption of the spatial

development corridors approach. The new paradigm of socio-economic development

through corridors is being ushered in Tanzania to maximize opportunity- based

planning. Experience from other countries shows that this approach helps in

realigning and rationalizing the implementation of priority projects taking into

consideration potentials obtaining in each development corridor.

238. To take advantage of the spatial development approach, the country has

been mapped into four distinct clusters of development corridors, namely East- West

Development Corridor Cluster; North- South Development Corridor Cluster; TAZARA

Development Corridor; and Complementary/Supportive Development Corridor

Cluster. In this context, projects and programmes with synergies and

complementarities located along the various corridors will be implemented

simultaneously; or sequenced in phases depending on the available resources

envelope. The objective is to get the maximum benefit out of the various projects

and programmes to avoid duplication of efforts and resources. The potentials in the

different development corridors and proposed projects for the MPIP is indicated in

Map 1 below:

Projects Selection Criteria

239. The implementation of MPIP projects in the various development corridors

will, to a large extent, depend on the project synergies and complementarities where

the greatest opportunities can be realized. Project inclusion in the government

budget is subjected to a thorough assessment of the project i.e. their feasibility,

estimated costs, potential impact and their sustainability.

The Treasury will play a pivotal role in scrutinizing all public investment proposals by

undertaking detailed economic analysis including due diligence to project locations

Page 133: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

122

so as to justify investments using agreed objective criteria before committing

resources. The following are the main project selection criteria derived from the

current practice and other countries‟ experiences which will be used to justify public

investments:

(i) Projects must be identified from the prioritized MPIP corridor clusters;

(ii) All projects need to have specific milestones during the 5 years MPIP

implementation;

(iii) Each project must have a detailed economic analysis/feasibility study;

(iv) All projects ought to have at least 10 percent Economic Rate of Return (ERR);

(v) All projects have to emanate from national/sector strategies and master plans

approved by the Government; and

(vi) All projects must have Environment Impact Assessment (EIA).

240. MPIP is designed to be implemented within the existing institutional

framework to enable sector ministries, government agencies, local authorities,

development partners, contractors and consulting firms, civil society organizations,

and beneficiaries at large to participate effectively. The Ministry of Finance and

Economic Affairs (MoFEA) will be the overall coordinator in collaboration with the

President‟s Office, Planning Commission in the implementation of the MPIP. In order

to steer implementation of the MPIP as scheduled, a Steering Committee composed

of key MPIP permanent secretaries will be set up. The delivery of identified projects

will be managed by sector line ministries and implementing agencies, with their

respective responsibilities clearly delineated. They will also be responsible for setting

workable monitoring and evaluation systems for tracking outputs and outcomes of

MPIP.

Financing MPIP

241. A critical challenge to the implementation of MPIP is the mobilization of

adequate financial resources to scale-up investment envelop required in identified

strategic areas for the supply structure transformation and growth. In this particular

Page 134: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

123

context, the total investment outlays for MPIP over the next five years is estimated

at shillings [23,802,222] million, of which shillings [6,199,132] million or [26.0]

percent, is to come from government sources per se, equivalent to shillings

[1,239,826] million per annum. This is essentially what is meant by public

investment plan so as to stimulate other players to come in line with the government

objectives and development priorities of the time. The remaining portion to the total

required financial resources has to come from other players in the economy, the bulk

of which to be contributed by the private sector, either through Private Sector

Financing Initiatives (PFIs) or Public Private Partnerships (PPPs).

CHAPTER SEVEN

MEDIUM TERM OBJECTIVES AND FOCUS

242. This chapter dwells on the assumptions underlying the macro economic

projections and policy targets for the medium term 2010/11-2012/13. As noted in

Chapter One, the Tanzania economy is still reeling from the negative impacts of the

global economic recession and the prolonged drought. In this regard, the emphasis

for the next Medium term period will be in line with the Vision 2025, MDGs,

MKUKUTA II, MPIP, Sector policies, and the CCM Election Manifesto of 2005. The

main focus will be on the few selected priority areas which will accelerate economic

growth and support the government thrust of KILIMO KWANZA with the view of

reducing poverty in the country.

Macroeconomic Assumptions and the Medium Term Outlook

Macroeconomic Assumptions

243. In the medium term (2010/11-2012/13) key assumptions underlying

macroeconomic projections and policy targets are as follows:

(i) The impact of the Global Economic Recession which affected the economy in

2009 will be contained;

(ii) Macroeconomic stability will be sustained and socio-economic development will

continue to improve;

(iii) The National priority areas as stipulated in this chapter and MPIP priority

projects will be implemented;

(iv) Realization of MKUKUTA II outcomes;

(v) There will be favourable weather condition

(vi) ASDP objectives will be attained;

(vii) Private sector will participate effectively in investment including in Kilimo

Kwanza;

(viii) Monetary policy framework will be consistent with macroeconomic objectives;

(ix) Domestic revenue collection efforts will be enhanced;

Page 136: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

125

(x) Monitoring and Evaluation of effective use of public resources will be

strengthened; and

(xi) Political stability, peace and tranquillity will be maintained.

Sectoral Assumptions and Outlook

244. The Agricultural economic activity: In the medium term Agriculture

economic activity is expected to pick up to 4.7 percent mainly on the assumption

that world economy will recover, and government interventions on transforming

subsistence farming to commercial farming through emphasis on productivity and

tradability will be implemented. The proposed interventions under Kilimo Kwanza are

in the areas of rural roads and markets improvement, irrigation infrastructure, the

establishment of Agriculture Bank, community banks and the enhancing the window

for agricultural credits at TIB are expected to boost agriculture performance in the

foreseeable future. In addition, the momentum in the implementation of ASDP will

be increased.

245. Livestock: The growth for livestock sub sector is expected to decline by 2.5

percent in 2009 from 3.7 percent in 2008. The decline is driven by unfavourable

weather conditions, inadequate infrastructure, inadequate investment in the sub

sector, and inadequate capacity of farmers to apply modern livestock keeping

practices. The underlining assumptions in the medium term are that the

infrastructure for the existing livestock farmers will be improved.

246. Fishing: During the medium term the fishing activities are expected to pick

up to 4.6 percent by 2011 and maintain upward trend thereafter. This is due to the

Government's efforts to modernize technologies used in fishing activities,

implementation of supply-and demand enhancing sector policies, and curbing illegal

fishing practices. These efforts are expected to increase fish production, demand for

fish and fish products in both domestic and foreign markets in the medium term.

247. Industry and construction economic activities: The economic activities

are projected to maintain an annual average growth rate of 8.7 percent in the

medium term. Growth of the sector is expected to accrue from all of its sub-

Page 137: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

126

activities. In particular, manufacturing sub activity is expected to be maintained

following Government interventions in energy, agriculture and infrastructure.

248. The construction sub activity is expected to grow by 6.3 percent in 2009

compared to 10.5 percent in 2008. The decline is due to slow down in construction

activities in anticipation of the impact of the GER. The sub-activity is expected to

maintain an annual growth of 10.6 percent in the medium term largely due to

increased infrastructure developments, including roads and bridges, water supply

projects, construction of commercial, residential and non-residential buildings.

249. The electricity and gas: The sub-activity is projected to grow at 3.0

percent in 2009 compared to the actual rate of 5.4 percent in 2008. In the medium

term, the growth is expected to sustain at an average rate of 5.3 percent. This

follows the concerted efforts by the government to implement measures aimed at

addressing the power crisis by installing additional gas-based to complement the

hydro-based power generation capacity, and also anticipation of generating a total

of 2,858 MW over the medium term.

250. The services economic activity is projected to grow at an average of 6.2

percent in the medium term. This will result from the increased export promotion

initiatives, establishment of new hotels, improvements and scaling-up of investments

in transport and communication infrastructures. The activity will also be bolstered by

expansion of education and health services, increased demand for financial

intermediation and sustained implementation of public service reforms.

Macroeconomic Projections and Policy Targets

Monetary Development

251. Monetary projections are set around the following key assumptions:

(i) Money velocity is projected to slow down in 2009/10 and maintain a gradual

path in the medium term following the implementation of the ongoing broad

based financial sector reforms;

Page 138: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

127

(ii) The M2 multiplier is expected to slow down gradually reflecting the effect of

changes in the Statutory Minimum Reserve (SMR) which was made in January

2009;

(iii) Credit to private sector is expected to increase reflecting the impact of the

Government‟s „Rescue Plan‟, ongoing financial sector reforms (Credit

Reference System) and MKUKUTA II; and

(iv) The level of international reserves is expected to continue picking up in

2010/11 due to the increase in foreign inflows.

Inflation

252. Inflation rate is expected to slow down to below 10 percent in June 2010 and

decline further to a single digit by December 2010 on assumption that food supply

will stabilize, exchange rate will remain stable and prudent monetary and fiscal

policies will prevail.

253. The macroeconomic projections and policy targets for the period 2010/11 –

2012/13 are as follows:

CHAPTER EIGHT

RESOURCE ENVELOPE AND EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORK

2010/11 – 2012/13

271. The medium term projections for resources and expenditure framework are

based on the assumptions that the government will continue to pursue prudent

macroeconomic policies and that there will be a rebound in domestic economic

activities benefiting from the projected recovery in the global economy. More efforts

will be directed towards increasing domestic revenue collections and mobilization of

external resources.

272. The projected revenue collection indicates a slight improvement owing to the

anticipated recovery in the global and domestic economies. Revenue to GDP ratio is

projected at 15.5 percent in 2010/11 and increase slightly to 16.1 percent by

2012/13. In the medium term, the government will continue to widen the tax base,

improve tax administration and enhance efficiency in the tax system.

273. The medium term government expenditure is projected in line with National

priorities. This will include the implementation of MKUKUTA II in which Kilimo

Kwanza is also mainstreamed. This recognizes the declining trend in overall resource

envelope and the need to refocus expenditure on few key priority areas. Thus, the

overall expenditure is projected at 29.1 percent of GDP, 28.1 percent and 26.8

percent in 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/13 respectively. The focus of expenditure will

be in key infrastructure projects and essential goods and services. The following are

broad categories and their projected expenditure for the period 2010/11 – 2012/13:

(i) Wages and salaries are projected at 6.0 percent of GDP consistent with the

need to expand public services, particularly social services;

Page 157: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

146

(ii) Local development expenditure is projected at 23 percent of total domestic

revenue collections in the F/Y 2010/11. Foreign development expenditure is

based on projected grants and loans from project and basket funds; and

(iii) Expenditure on goods and services will focus only on priority activities needed

to facilitate delivery of adequate public services.

274. Based on development partners‟ pledge, the grants are set at 5.8 percent of

GDP in 2010/11 and are projected to decline to 4.7 percent in 2012/13. The loans

are projected to decline from 4.6 percent in 2010/11 to around 3.1 percent of GDP

in 2012/13. The projected decline is attributed partly to: -

(i) Future committed resources by the WB amounting to USD 170 million for

GBS, USD 46 million for accelerated food security and USD 30 million for

TASAF were frontloaded in FY 2009/10;

(ii) 50% reduction of Canadian pledge; and

(iii) Delays in commitments by Netherlands and Switzerland pending the decision

from their respective Headquarters.

Revenue Policies and Initiatives

Domestic Revenue

275. The government will continue to undertake various reforms in order to

improve domestic revenue collection and efficiency in the tax system. To achieve the

set objectives, the Government will primarily focus on the following:

(i). Widening the tax base by improving the tax structure and other revenue

measures.

(ii). To continue improving tax administration by implementing the TRAs Third

Five-Year Corporate Plan.

(iii). Improving management and control of tax exemptions.

(iv). Based on the report of the study, undertake policy reform measures in

Non tax revenue collection.

276. The Government intends to explore other options of financing development

projects, including the issuance of state/ sovereign bonds.

Foreign Resources

277. The government continues to promote general budget support (GBS) as the

preferred aid delivery modality due to its comparative advantages over other

modalities, in terms of predictability and strengthening government ownership over

resources allocation across MDAs, Regions and LGAs. Further, GBS is fully

integrated in the National Budget, Public financial management and government

accountability systems. Although GBS is the government preferred modality

commitments for the past three years have remained constant and projection in the

medium term declining in absolute terms. Government will continue to advocate for

GBS in order to scale up funding on GBS as well as convincing Non GBS partners to

consider joining the GBS modality by continuing to implement the Joint Assistance

Strategy (JAST), Paris Declaration and the Accra Agenda for Action.

278. The predictability of Basket and Project modalities has demonstrated

challenges for the Government to strategically plan and effectively prioritize

development projects. This, coupled with lengthy donor procedures, assessments

Page 161: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

150

and capacity constraints, led to funding delays and affected project performance.

However, these funding modalities are expected to be aligned with national

priorities, strategies and programmes and rely on government structures for

implementation. Thus, MDAs, Regions and LGAs are encouraged to align their

budgets with the general budget support modality.

Page 162: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

151

CHAPTER NINE

PERFORMANCE MONITORING, EVALUATION AND REPORTING

279. Monitoring and evaluation as well as timely reporting provide invaluable

inputs to policy making and accountability in spending public resources. It is

important, therefore, to have an efficient and effective performance monitoring and

evaluation system of government plans and budgets at all levels. Likewise, an

appropriate performance reporting mechanism is necessary to provide regular flow

of information on the performance of government policies, programmes and

activities.

280. This chapter, therefore, reviews the performance of MDAs, Regions, and

LGAs in terms of outlining progress attained in performance monitoring, evaluation

and reporting during the period under review. The chapter also outlines challenges

encountered and the way forward. Thus, the use of various forms required for

performance monitoring, evaluation and reporting is emphasised.

Achievements

281. Over the period under review, the Government has been taking strategic

interventions to improve the performance of MDAs, Regions and LGAs for increased

accountability and transparency. The main emphasis has been on improving

planning and budgeting processes as well as putting in place a government

framework for Monitoring and Evaluation, and performance reporting.

282. During the period under review MDAs, Regions and LGAs responded

positively by putting in place an effective M&E system and performance reporting.

Achievements registered are as follows:

(i). Establishment and operationalization of Expenditure Tracking and

Performance Monitoring Section in the Ministry of Finance and Economic

Affairs;

Page 163: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

152

(ii). Establishment of M&E Sections under the Policy and Planning

Departments/Units within the government structure;

(iii). Formulation of performance indicators by each MDA, RS and LGA for

monitoring purposes;

(iv). Some MDAs developed outcome performance indicators in the planning and

reporting process;and

(v). Enabled 10 MDAs to prepare annual performance reports in line with the

Government new standardized formats.

Challenges

283. Despite the achievements registered during the period under review, the

following challenges were observed;

(i) Planning, budgeting, M&E and reporting remained weak in some MDAs,

Regions and LGAs;

(ii) Adherence to strategic plans in some MDAs, Regions and LGAs;

(iii) Availability of outcome performance indicators and baseline data in some

MDAs, Regions and LGAs;

(iv) Formulation of institutional objectives and targets;

(v) Consistency and linkages between institutional Strategic Plans and the MTEF;

and

(vi) Capacity to monitor implementation of plans, budgets, and preparation of

analytical reports.

The Way Forward

284. In the medium term, the Government will continue to address the challenges

faced during the year under review. Specifically, the government will, among others:

(i) Continue to build capacity for all MDAs, Regions and LGAs in preparation of

strategic plans, MTEF, and report writing;

(ii) Continue to strengthen M&E Sections/Units in MDAs, Regions and LGAs;

(iii) Continue to strengthen mechanisms for performance monitoring, evaluation

and reporting for national initiatives and programmes that are in the initial

stages; and

Page 164: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

153

(iv) Enable MDAs, Regions and LGAs to prepare and submit appropriate

performance reports to respective authorities as indicated in Budget Guideline

Part II.

Instructions on Performance Reporting

285. All institutions should prepare performance reports and submit timely to the

relevant Central Ministries (PO-PSM, PMO, PMO-RALG and MoFEA). Agencies are

required to submit such reports to their parent Ministries on time to enable

consolidation of the information into the main report MDAs and Regions are

reminded to submit Cumulative Quarterly Progress Reports by 15th of each

month following the end of a quarter. LGAs should submit reports by 30th of each

month following the end of a quarter.

286. MDAs, Regions and LGAs are required to prepare Annual Performance Reports

and Three Years Outcome Peformance Reports providing feedback on the

attainment of key results areas of their strategic plans. These reports should be

submitted to PO-PSM, PMO, PMO-RALG and MoFEA by 1st of October following

completion of each financial year. The Annual Performance Reports and Three Years

Outcome Performance Reports should be made available to the Parliament and

disseminated to the public via institution‟s web site, media or other appropriate fora

to enhance transparency and accountability. Detailed descriptions and structure of

all reports including their formats are outlined in the MTSPBM and Plan and Budget

Guideline Part II.

CHAPTER TEN

INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES

287. The purpose of this chapter is to re-emphasize to all government institutions

of their roles and responsibilities in the preparations and executions of their plans

and budgets in the medium term with the view to achieve national priority

objectives. The chapter also intends to remind all Accounting Officers and the

institutions‟ Plan and Budget Committees of their roles and responsibilities. More

importantly, the chapter point out the need for each institution to abide to priority

areas listed under this chapter.

Roles of Accounting Officers in Planning, Budget Preparation and

Execution

288. Accounting Officers have the responsibility of overseeing the preparation of

institutional plans and budgets, as well as execution, monitoring and evaluation. It

has been observed that, there is a poor linkage between Strategic Plans and MTEF.

To address such weaknesses, Accounting Officers should ensure there is linkage

between the two documents and have the obligation of participating in person in the

whole process from the preparation to execution of plans and budgets of their

institutions. Specifically Accounting Officers have the following responsibilities:

(i). To continue strengthening Planning and Budgeting Committees at

institutional level to ensure that they are proactively engaged in the

planning and budgeting process, as well as in monitoring, evaluation and

performance reporting;

(ii). To provide clear guidance on policy priorities that should be reflected in

institutional plans and budgets;

(iii). To take all necessary steps to ensure all salary arrears accrued during

2009/10 FY are paid before 30th June, 2010;

(iv). To ensure all reforms that are implemented under their jurisdiriction are

financed and implemented as per set targets and in view of improving

business environment in the country;

Page 166: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

155

(v). To supervise and guide State Agencies in view of reducing their

dependence in the National Budget;

(vi). MDAs whose sectors are at LGA level should develop action plans and take

steps aimed at enhancing capacity of LGAs in the delivery of essential

services; and

(vii). Guided by application of formulae in the allocation of resources to LGAs,

compensatory development grants should be provided to underserved

LGAs.

Plan and Budget Committees

289. Plan and Budget Committee is composed of Accounting Officer and all heads

of Departments. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the planning and

budgeting processes, budget implementation, monitoring, evaluation and

performance reporting. As such the Committee is required to:

(i) Oversee formulations of institutional plans and budget including setting of

revenue and expenditure targets as well as allocation of resources;

(ii) Ensure that budget estimates are realistic and accurate and include all

foreseeable revenues and expenditures;

(iii) Ensure that all revenues collected and funds allocated are accounted for in

accordance with Public Finance Act of 2001 and its subsequent

amendments;

(iv) Collaborate with other MDAs who are implementing inter-sectoral

programmes to avoid duplication in resource allocation;

(v) Ensure Plan and Budget Guideline instruction are adhered to; and

(vi) Ensure performance reports are prepared on timely basis to feed internal

and external needs.

290. Institutions are required to come up with well formulated and focused plans

for the three years of MTEF. In that regard, MDAs, Regions and LGAs should be

guided by the following checklist:-

(iii) Adhere to existing National policies, the Medium Term Strategic Plan and

Budget Guideline Manual and institutional priorities;

Page 167: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

156

(iv) Ensure that the allocation of resources addresses Election Manifesto

(2005), MDGs, MKUKUTA II, KILIMO KWANZA as well as cross cutting

issues such as HIV and AIDS, core reforms, gender and environment;

(v) Ensure collaboration and coordination in order to remove duplication of

efforts and maximizing the benefits of synergies;

(vi) Ensure that priority activities are properly estimated and resources

allocated;

(vii) Ensure that milestones are well identified with cost indications in order to

get tangible outputs within the MTEF period;

(viii) Prioritize funding of projects (especially ongoing projects), activities and

items and adhere to set ceiling with regard to recurrent and development

estimates;

(ix) Ensure that there is clear demarcation between Recurrent and

Development Budget and between Ministry, Departments and Agencies so

as to avoid double funding for similar activities;

(x) Prepare and submit institutional MTEF document that includes revenue,

recurrent and development estimates;

(xi) Ensure that Budget submissions for 2010/11 – 2012/13 adhere to the

approved format; and the relevant forms included in Plan and Budget

Guidelines Part II are dully filled; and

(xii) Update Institutional MTEFs to accommodate subsequent changes after

budget scrutiny sessions. The revised institutional MTEFs should be

submitted to the Treasury as soon as the MDAs budget is approved by

Parliament.

Expenditure Control and Cost Reduction

291. Accounting Officers are requested to ensure that their institutions adhere to

the approved budget and maintain a high degree of financial discipline. In order to

free resources for financing KILIMO KWANZA initiatives and core activities of the

institution, in year 2010/2011 Accounting Officers are requested to continue reduce

FORM FOR BUDGET SUBMISSION, EXECUTION AND PERFORMAMNCE REPORTING

Introduction

Part II of the guidelines for preparation of Plan and Budget constitute standard forms that enables Ministries, Independent Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Regional Secretariats (RSs) and Local Government Authorities (LGAs) to prepare, execute and monitor their budgets effectively and efficiently. These forms have been designed in a participatory way that encompasses various needs and formats as compiled by the Harmonization Team. The detail information on the use and submission processes for each form is documented in the Medium Term Strategic Planning and Budgeting Manual (MTSPBM). In this regards, Part II of the guidelines for preparation of Plan and Budget provides the following forms into 4 categories namely: Submission; Operational Planning; Performance Reporting; and Internally Used Form. 1. Forms used for budget submission During the budget preparation, MDAs, RSs and LGAs are obliged to submit their MTEF budgets in adherence to the standard format shown at the end of this guideline (i.e. MTEF Presentation Format). Each institution should provide accurate and up to date information in order to reflect the true situation to all stakeholders. Likewise, the following forms should be filled properly and submitted in the MTEF document: (i) Form No. 1: Summary of Annual and Forward Budget Estimates (Revenue,

Recurrent And Development) (ii) Form No. 2: Recurrent Expenditure Forward Budget (Summary Of Personal

Emoluments and Other Charges at Vote Level) (iii) Form 3a (R): 3 Year MTEF Target Value Form (Recurrent Expenditure) (iv) Form 3a (D): 3 Year MTEF Target Value Form (Development Expenditure) (v) Form 3b: Activity Costing Sheet (vi) Form 3c: Recurrent Expenditure Summary of Draft Estimates (vii) Form 4: Domestic Revenue Forward Budget (viii) Form 5: Domestic Revenue (Details Of Draft Annual Estimates) (ix) Form 6: Development Expenditure Details Of Annual And Forward Budget (x) Form 7b: Institutional Results Framework (xi) Form 8a: Summary of Personal Emoluments Estimates at Vote Level (xii) Form 8b: Summary of Personal Emoluments Estimates at Sub-vote Level (xiii) Form 8c: Item I - Summary of Existing Employees on Payroll (xiv) Form 8d: Item II - Summary of Existing Employees Not on Payroll (xv) Form 8e: Item III - Summary of New Employees to be Recruited (xvi) Form 9: Schedule Of Personal Emoluments( Establishment And Strength) (xvii) Form 10a: Project Profile Data Form

165

(xviii) Form 10b: Summary of Project Forward Budget Estimates Vote (All Sources) 2. Forms used for operational planning Based on the budget process, MDAs, RSs and LGAs have been preparing various forms in order to monitor the institutional trends for inflows, outflows and execution implementation of planned activities. The forms include cash flow and action plan which are aligned in the current years‟ targets set by respective institution. In this regards, the following forms should be filled properly and submitted to MoFEA before 15th July in order to be used during the allocation and release of: (i) Form 11A (R): Current year MTEF Target Value Form (Recurrent Expenditure) (ii) form 11A (D) current year MTEF target value form (development expenditure) (iii) Form 11B (R): Annual Cash Flow Plan for the Recurrent Budget (iv) Form 11B (D): Annual Cash Flow Plan for the Development Budget (v) Form 14B (R): Annual Action Plan for the Recurrent Budget (vi) Form 14B (D): Annual Action Plan for the Development Budget 3. Forms used in performance reporting All MDAs, LGAs and RSs have been reporting on their performance in compliance with statutory requirements. In order to improve the scope and quality of the reports and to better link reports to Strategic Plans and the MKUKUTA, Government institutions are obliged to report, in more detail, on their performance against plans. In the process of reporting results, the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) techniques will be needed to collect, manage, analyse, and interpret data. This will include the definition of key performance indicators, collection of indicator data, and the undertaking of analytical or evaluative studies. In addition, performance reporting will go beyond sheets and forms by requiring Government institutions to prepare more analytical reports. In this context therefore, Government institutions are required to submit the following performance reports: (i) Quarterly Reports on cumulative targets and expenditures, against the

annual plan and budget (ii) Annual Performance Reports on targets and outcome monitoring, against

the annual plan and budget (iii) A 3-Year Outcome Evaluation Report against medium term Strategic Plan

objectives and outcomes

Quarterly Progress Reports The Quarterly Progress Report is intended to provide an overview of implementation progress on a cumulative basis against an institution‟s set targets and budget. The report also provides information on the implementation of a sub-set of high profile or priority interventions.

Page 177: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION … · 2010-04-22 · i THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDIUM TERM PLAN AND BUDGET

166

At mid-year, reports should also focus on budget variations and justifications for adjustments. The main body of this report should not exceed five pages. The following three quarterly reports will be produced:

Quarter 1 Progress Report, summarizing implementation during Quarter 1 Mid Year Progress Report, summarizing cumulative implementation (Quarter 1 +

Quarter 2) together with a focus on budget variations Quarter 3 Progress Report, summarizing cumulative implementation (Quarter 1

+ Quarter 2 + Quarter 3)

In terms of submission and dissemination, Quarterly reports do not have to be submitted to Parliamentary Committees or disseminated to the public. MDAs and RSs should submit their reports by the 15th of each month following the end of a given quarter, while LGAs should submit their reports by the 30th of each month following the end of a given quarter.

STRUCTURE OF THE QUARTERLY REPORT

I. Title/cover page II. Table of contents

III. Main body

Introduction Overview of Implementation of Milestones/Priority Interventions: This Section of the quarterly report describes progress in implementing

milestones, which are developed during the planning process. To collect information on the implementation of milestones the officer responsible for preparing the report should informally interview implementers (verbally), rather than distribute a form or sheet for them to fill out.

Issues and Constraints: During the process of monitoring milestones and targets, issues and

constraints should typically be identified. Issues arising may concern, delays in implementation, reduced scope or quality of outputs, constraints in terms of resource availability, etc. The identification of issues to be reported is, however, a subjective matter and there will be a need to prioritise which issues affected the achievement of the set milestones and targets within the specified period.

The Annual Performance Report The Annual Performance Report is intended to provide a detailed description of an institution‟s main achievements in terms of the targets reached and the progress realized in improving its service delivery. The report should also address performance on revenues and expenditures as well as Human Resources status. Responsibility for the preparation and accuracy of the report lies with the Accounting Officer for each MDA, RS, and LGA. The report should be prepared and submitted to PO-PSM, PMO, PMO-RALG (for LGAs and RSs) and MoFEA by the 1st October following the completion of each financial year. It should also be made available to other stakeholders, including the the Parliamentary Committees and members of the public (on the institution‟s web site or through other relevant media). It is expected that, the main body of this report will be between 20 and 40 pages. The structure of the Annual Performance Report should be as shown here under:

Three Year Outcome Report The outcome report should be prepared at the end of the Strategic Planning cycle. It should focus on assessing the degree to which the institution is meeting its planned objectives or outcomes documented in the Strategic Plan. The report should summarize the findings of the main evaluations, analytical studies, and reviews undertaken during the period. For each objective the report should describe what the expected achievements were, how they were measured, and what the main findings or results of the assessments were. These assessments should be linked to all national frameworks including MDGs, MKUKUTA and Ruling party Manifesto. The report should be submitted to PO-PSM, PMO, PMO-RALG (for LGAs and RSs) and MoFEA, by the 1st October following the completion of the Strategic Planning cycle. As was the case with the Annual Performance Report, the 3-Year Outcome Report should be made available to stakeholders, including appropriate Parliamentary Committees and members of the public (on the institution‟s web site or through other relevant media).

Notes

Each row on this form describes a single performance indicator. Indicators are used to measure progress towards meeting objectives; they are performance

measures. Descriptions of each column are as follows: Column 1. Objective Code and Description: the objective (in words) and its code, being measured by the indicator, for example: “B. Increase Access to Education”

Column 2. Indicator Name and Description: this is in two parts. The indicators name should be in italics while its description (how the indicator is calculated) should be listed below it

in a bullet or in parenthesis, for example: Annual Salary Arrears as a percentage of total annual salaries

This indicator takes the sum of the arrears paid from January to December and divides it by the total salaries paid over the same period. The indicator is an inexact measure

of the quality of salary administration since arrears arise due to delays in entering changes due to recruitment, promotion or transfer; the more time efficient these processes,

the less arrears will arise. However, arrears payment tends to be "lumpy" with payments being made according to the availability of funds. This reduces the validity of the

indicator as an efficiency measure. The derivation of targets assumed arrear rates for 2005/06 would be cut in half.

Column 3. Baseline date: describes the most recent date, prior to the current planning phase that the indicator was collected.

Column 4. Baseline indicator value is the value of the indicator, on the most recent date prior to the current planning phase. If indicator values (and their date) is not known place a dash.

Columns 5 to 7: Indicator targets: the expected or projected annual future value of the indicator at the end of the first, second, and third year of implementation, as found in the Strategic

Plan. (Y0 = the end of the current financial year being planned, (Y+1) = the next financial year, and Y+2 is the next two years

Column 8 to 11: M, P, R” Place a check mark (tick or X) in the columns M, P, R as follows: M = MKUKUTA (if the indicator is an MKUKUTA indicator), P = PAF Matrix; R = Ruling

Party Manifesto. This will help link the indicator to other coordinating plans

Column 12. The source is where the indicator is collected (its data source) while means of verification is the supporting evidence that the indicator may have

Notes

Each row on this form describes a single performance indicator. Indicators are used to measure progress towards meeting objectives; they are performance

measures. Descriptions of each column are as follows:

Column 1. Objective Code and Description: the objective (in words) and its code, being measured by the indicator, for example: “B. Increase Access to Education”

Column 2. Indicator Name and Description: this is in two parts. The indicators name should be in italics while its description (how the indicator is calculated) should be listed below it in a

bullet or in parenthesis, for example:

Annual Salary Arrears as a percentage of total annual salaries

This indicator takes the sum of the arrears paid from January to December and divides it by the total salaries paid over the same period. It is an inexact measure of the quality of salary

administration since arrears arise due to delays in tracking recruitment, promotion or transfer; the more time efficient these processes, the less arrears will arise.

Column 3. Baseline date: describes the most recent date, prior to the current planning phase that the indicator was collected.

Column 4. Baseline indicator value is the value of the indicator, on the most recent date prior to the current planning phase.

Columns 5 to 7: Indicator targets: the expected or projected annual future value of the indicator at the end of the first, second, and third year of implementation, as found in the Strategic Plan.

(Y0 = the end of the current financial year being planned, (Y+1) = the next financial year, and Y+2 is the next two years

Columns 8 to 10: Actual Indicator values: the actual or realised value of the indicator at the end of the first, second, and third year of implementation, as found in the Strategic Plan. (Y0 = the

end of the current financial year being planned, (Y+1) = the next financial year, and Y+2 is the next two years

Column 11 to 14: M, P, R” Place a check mark (tick or X) in the columns M, P, R as follows: M = MKUKUTA (if the indicator is an MKUKUTA indicator), P = PAF Matrix; R = Ruling Party

Manifesto. This will help link the indicator to other coordinating plans

Column 15. The source is where the indicator is collected (its data source) while means of verification is the supporting evidence that the indicator may have

Column 16 Comment: any comment describing implementation
