Contexte | Tanzania has enjoyed a steady economic growth prior to the Covid pandemic (6.7% Gross Domestic Product growth between 2015 and 2019). Despite slower growth due to the pandemic and the effects of the Ukraine – Russia conflict, Tanzania remains one of the fastest growing economies in Africa (6.1% growth projections for 2024). The domestic revenue mobilisation is increasing but these revenues remain insufficient to finance all necessary public services and the government’s ambitious development objectives to serve its fast growing population (+ 3% in 2022). The tax base remains narrow coupled with a lack of stability in the tax policy environment and low taxpayer compliance. Other challenges include lack of transparency and accountability of public spending. |
Objectifs | Domestic revenues are raised and spent in a more transparent and effective manner, benefiting the whole Tanzanian population, especially the poor. |
