Poste de travail

Public Procurement Expert

Description du projet

The Good Financial Governance (GFG) project in Tanzania is a technical assistance programme. It is funded by the Federal Government of Germany, as well as Switzerland and the EU. The project has a term of three years and three months (May 2024 to July 2027). The programme will operate in three key locations: in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma and on Zanzibar with varying degree of presence.

Significant challenges in the mobilisation of domestic revenue remain, comprising both tax policy and tax administration. Moreover, the public finance system shows weaknesses in the fields of budgeting, access to information, public procurement, and audit. These challenges can be summarised in the core problem: domestic revenue mobilisation and public expenditure are not sufficiently effective, accountable and transparent to finance Tanzania’s development objectives given the framework conditions for tax policy making, administration, and public financial management.

The module objective of the GFG Project is: Revenues are raised and spent in a more effective, accountable and transparent manner. Effective revenue mobilisation is key to ensuring sufficient available public funding for development objectives in the long-term. At the same time, effectiveness, accountability, and transparency of public expenditure are crucial for reducing financial leakages, developmentoriented and inclusive planning and spending of funds. 

The GFG Project aims to achieve the following outputs: 
1) Strengthened capacities for mobilising domestic revenues at national and local level,
2) Strengthened capacities for public expenditure control,
3) Improved strategic framework conditions for evidence-based, fiscal policy making,
4) Strengthened competences for implementing the Public Finance Management Reform Program (PFMRP) in Zanzibar.
