In Tanzania, UNDP as an impartial and trusted partner of Government is uniquely positioned to influence the outcomes of a myriad of challenging, but necessary reforms designed to promote broadbased pro-poor economic growth with prospects for significant and sustained impact on poverty reduction. As an impartial broker and leveraging on its convening power, UNDP also helps facilitate the views of civil society and the private sector and plays a crucial role in aid coordination to promote increased aid effectiveness.
In recognition of the need for effective development management for poverty reduction, UNDP Tanzania continually provides policy advisory support at the ‘up-stream’ policy level while maintaining catalytic support at ‘grassroot’ community level. UNDP’s direct support at pilot ‘downstream’ community level interventions serves to inform its advisory support provided at the upstream policy level. UNDP’s Programme in Tanzania aims to combine the best aspects of both its up-stream policy advice and grassroots support to the poorest communities to promote synergies and maximize the impact of its development assistance to the Tanzanian people.
As the UN’s development arm, UNDP is regarded as a trusted partner and impartial facilitator by local stakeholders, including Government, civil society, local communities, the private sector and other development partners. This forms the basis for UNDP’s comparative advantage in strengthening national capacity to both ‘own’ and ‘lead’ the development agenda.
The specific focus of UNDP’s work in Tanzania (both Mainland and Zanzibar) is identified through a process of consultation with national stakeholders as well as with reference to its global mandate and comparative advantages in Tanzania. UNDP’s current programme in Tanzania focuses on four practice areas:
- Poverty Monitoring and Pro-Poor Policy Development
- Democratic Governance
- Development Management and Aid Coordination
- Environment and Energy
