| Summary: | The Country Partnership Framework (CPF)
for Tanzania covering FY18-FY22 comes at a time when
Tanzania must both consolidate the gains of the last decade
and address the continuing gaps in its development
outcomes—including sharp spatial (rural-urban) and gender
disparities in income and assets, continued challenges with
respect to human capital and delivery of public services,
and unsustainable use of critical natural resources. To
address this, Tanzania has set out an ambitious agenda of
nurturing industrialization for economic transformation, and
human development. The CPF supports this agenda which is
laid out in Tanzania’s Second Five-Year Development Plan
(FYDP II) and Zanzibar’s Third Strategy for Growth and
Reduction of Poverty (ZSGRP III). The Systematic Country
Diagnostic (SCD) for Tanzania identifies three pathways to
leverage the country’s advantages to achieve the national
development goals: (i) structural transformation to leverage
Tanzania’s natural assets and capture latent comparative
advantage to create more jobs; (ii) spatial transformation
to build on Tanzania’s geographic advantages and maximize
benefits from spatial integration and agglomeration; and
(iii) upgrading public institutions and organizations,
underpinned by expanding human capital, gender equity, and
macroeconomic stability. Following a decade of strong growth
and poverty reduction, the CPF addresses the challenges of
carving a growth path that is more inclusive and
sustainable.The CPF recognizes the close nexus between
climate change and poverty reduction in Tanzania and places
a strong emphasis on addressing the effects of climate
change. The CPF will call upon the full range of World Bank
Group (WBG) instruments and financial products to respond to
Tanzania’s needs. The CPF will address International
Development Association (IDA) special themes and seek to be
agile in preparing operations and analytical products. The
CPF program has three areas of strategic focus. The Focus
Area 1, enhance productivity and accelerate equitable and
sustainable growth—is closely aligned with the FYDP II’s
emphasis on industrialization, and with the SCD structural
and spatial transformation pathways for development. The
SCD’s first foundation, macroeconomic stability, is
necessary for creating a conducive environment for private
investment and growth. Focus Area 2, boost human capital and
social inclusion—is aligned with the human development
pillar of the FYDP II and the SCD’s second foundation, human
development and gender equity. Focus Area 3, modernize and
improve efficiency of public institutions—is aligned with
the SCD’s emphasis on institutional transformation and the
Tanzanian Government’s priority on public sector
accountability, private sector support and regulation, and
capacity to deliver services. The three CPF focus areas are
not mutually exclusive and can be leveraged to achieve
substantial progress on overlapping goals. For example, if
workers acquire job-relevant skills (Focus Area 2), that
will contribute to the job creation goal (Focus Area 1); and
improving accountability and PFM is fundamental to reaching
service delivery objectives for health and education (Focus
Area 3). Similarly, expanding social inclusion requires
action in all focus areas. |
