| Summary: | The Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF)
is now in its second phase, covering the period 2005-2009.
It is focused on giving more voice to citizens at both
community and lowest local government levels - village
councils. While retaining direct community financing as a
key empowering mechanism, it is being implemented through
Local Government Authorities. Target beneficiaries are: i)
communities with inadequate access to social services; ii)
households with able-bodied adults suffering from food
insecurity; and iii) individuals living in poor households
affected by acute shocks (like HIV/AIDS). These three
beneficiary groups will access resources from a National
Village Fund using procedures that build on the lessons
learned regarding accountability, incomes poverty, and
improving impact links. |
