REPOA’s 15th Annual Research Workshop REPOA is expecting to hold the 15th Annual Research Workshop (ARW) on March 18th – 19th, this year in Dar es Salaam. This Annual Workshop has grown to be the largest and longest running annual event in Tanzania. For more information about this workshop click here Planning in Local Government Authorities in Tanzania: Bottom-up Meets Top-down This brief examines the experience of four councils in Tanzania in implementing Opportunities and Obstacles to Development (O&OD), a bottom-up participatory planning methodology for local development. The study found little evidence to date that the approach has increased local autonomy in prioritising, planning and budgeting of development activities. Interactions and consultations between local communities and council management teams were limited, bottom-up community plans were typically viewed as wish lists by council officials, and local priorities were largely set by the central government. Job Vacancy Senior Visiting Research Fellows REPOA invites applications from senior academic scholars with extensive research experience (on sabbatical or recently retired) for the post of Senior Visiting Research Fellows.

The findings indicate that general security for businesses in Tanzania is good, well ahead of other countries in the East African Community (EAC). However, government administrative requirements and customers procedures are still viewed by firms as cumbersome and inefficient, and the low level of infrastructure development continues to be a major constraint to doing business. Assessing the Institutional Framework for Promoting the Growth of MSEs in Tanzania; The Case of Dar es Salaam This study focused on the type and nature of the MSE support institutions which include services they provide, conditions for assessing the services and their needs. The study was conducted in order to infor policy makers, planners and other stakeholders about the function and need, for strong MSE support institutions as well as the capacity of these institutions to adequately meet the demands of MSEs.
