The approach to aid management in Tanzania is guided by the Joint Assistance Strategy (JAST) and takes into account the international principles of aid effectiveness. The main focus of JAST is to promote national ownership and government leadership in development cooperation through joint actions that seeks to enhance the impact of development effectiveness. Development Partners Group (DPG) established in 2004 comprises 17 bilateral and 5 multilateral (UN counted as one) development agencies providing assistance to Tanzania.
By moving beyond information-sharing towards actively seeking harmonization and alignment of aid systems and priorities, the Development Partners (DPs) are aiming at increasing the effectiveness of development assistance in support of the Government of Tanzania’s national goals and systems. Through JAST, Development Partners hope to work with the Government of Tanzania to fulfill its objective of achieving sustainable development goals laid out in the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (MKUKUTA II/MKUZA II), the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other national policies and strategies. This section provides you with the list of Development Partners that has been working with the Government of Tanzania and other domestic stakeholders.
