Assessing the Slow Uptake of PPP Projects in Tanzania: Identification of Root Causes and Practical Remedies.

Posted: 9/18/2025
Deadline: 10/7/2025

In the current SP 2021 - 2025, WAJIBU is committed, among other things, to influencing changes in policy and practice to improve the environment of PFA in the country by providing evidence and actionable recommendations. In 2024, WAJIBU conducted research on Domestic Resource Mobilisation in which Public-Private 1 Partnerships (PPP) were identified as one of the potential sources of domestic revenue mobilisation in Tanzania. However, it was noted that some limitations and barriers hinder its implementation. Additionally, despite the potential of PPP in revenue mobilisation, Tanzania is still facing challenges in financing its national budget needs. For example, for the year 2023/24, the actual revenue collection of the approved budget was TZS 46.5 trillion, out of which TZS 15.9 trillion, equivalent to 34.3% came from borrowing, which could have been avoided if the PPP model of investment had been implemented effectively. The Government of Tanzania has prioritised PPP as a key strategy for infrastructure development under the Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP III), the 2009 Policy and the PPP Act (2010, amended 2023). Despite this commitment, the implementation of PPP projects has been slow, with only 3 out of 80 identified projects reaching commercial closure as of May 2025 (PPP Centre Report). Against this backdrop, WAJIBU, in collaboration with the PPP Centre intends to commission research to Assess the Slow Uptake of PPP Projects in Tanzania: Identification of Root Causes and Practical Remedies. The findings will inform policy dialogues and advocacy efforts to improve the PPP frameworks and strengthen PPP implementation in Tanzania.

Design and Develop Monitoring online Application

Posted: 7/21/2025
Deadline: 8/4/2025

WAJIBU – Institute of Public Accountability in collaboration with Policy Forum, is looking for a qualified individual or institution to design the contract monitoring system, which will streamline the contract management process, enhance data quality and improve reporting capabilities. Citizens will use the system to report on the progress of development projects in their locality where the action takes place. Still, it will also assist oversight institutions to get feedback from the demand side (non-state actors), hence the citizen participation. WAJIBU – Institute of Public Accountability, in collaboration with Policy Forum, seeks a qualified individual or institution to design a Contract Monitoring System (CMS) that will strengthen accountability and transparency in the implementation of development projects at the local level. The primary goal of this assignment is to develop a user-friendly and efficient digital system that enables citizens to monitor and report on the progress of public development projects in their communities. The system is expected to serve as a vital bridge between citizens (the demand side) and oversight institutions (the supply side) by enhancing two-way feedback and engagement. Key Objectives of the Assignment: a. Streamline the contract management process by providing a structured and automated way to collect, organise, and track information on public contracts and their implementation status. b. Enhance data quality and accuracy by ensuring the system captures real-time, verifiable data from the community for: • Enhancing the ability of citizens and local monitors to obtain corrective actions from the Local Government Authorities. • Improve Reporting and Accountability at the Local Government Authorities: • Generate analytical reports that can be used by oversight institutions such as the Office of the Controller and Auditor General (CAG), Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), and the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB). • Allow visualisation of progress data, geotagging of projects, and dashboards for summarising citizen feedback and monitoring red flags. c. Promote Citizen Participation and Empowerment: • Make it easy for citizens, including youth, women, and persons with disabilities, to report, comment, and give feedback on ongoing or completed development projects in their areas. • Provide educational features or prompts that explain what citizens should look out for in monitoring project implementation.

Production of 4 digital storytelling video clips on Public Financial Accountability (PFA) issues.

Posted: 7/20/2025
Deadline: 8/1/2025

Accountability challenges in Tanzania remain a major obstacle to effective governance and sustainable development. Despite annual audits by the Controller and Auditor General (CAG), issues such as the non-implementation of audit recommendations, mismanagement of public funds, and persistent corruption continue to undermine public service delivery and erode public trust in institutions. These challenges point to systemic weaknesses in enforcement, transparency, and citizen oversight. The media plays a pivotal role in addressing these accountability gaps. As a bridge between public institutions and citizens, the media has the power to amplify audit findings, inform the public about misuse of resources, and mobilize pressure on decision-makers to act on CAG recommendations. When equipped with credible and accessible information, the media becomes a watchdog and a driver of reform. Since 2017, WAJIBU has strategically partnered with the media to promote public financial accountability (PFA), particularly by simplifying CAG findings and amplifying them through radio, TV, print, and digital platforms. These efforts have contributed to greater public awareness and sparked informed discussions on how public resources are managed. Building on this experience, WAJIBU now plans to produce short digital storytelling videos grounded in real audit findings and oversight committee recommendations (PAC, LAAC, PIC). This initiative aims to engage citizens, policymakers, and oversight bodies in a more compelling way, with the goal of strengthening public demand for transparency and the implementation of audit recommendations.
