We are very delighted to present to our esteemed stakeholders our Annual Report for 2017, the third year of implementation of our Strategic Plan for 2015-2019. 2007 marked the mid-point in Strategic Plan, an appropriate time to reflect on how we have performed so far and the strategic choices we need to make to fulfil our goals. In general, the implementation of our programmes during the first three years of the plan were associated with many events and unforeseen changes in the operating conditions of Think Tanks. These included a reorganization of the institution, a dramatic decline in core funding and the setting of the new government. Despite these changes, the institution made some adjustments to accommodate them, while remaining focused on its mandate of producing knowledge and promoting evidence-based policymaking for inclusive growth and transformation to improve the lives of the people of Tanzania.
