The United Republic of Tanzania has seen impressive improvements in macroeconomic stability over the past two decades, cumulating in a classification as a lower-middle income country by the World Bank for the first time in 2020. However, considerable development challenges remain. While the growing number of youth and young adolescents provide opportunities linked to demographic dividends, it is evident that needs are significant in terms of provision of skills for gainful income and decent employment, access for all to quality public services and productive resources, gender equalities, and democratic political and civic space.

The Swiss Cooperation Programme Tanzania 2021–24 was developed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) in consultation with Tanzanian and Swiss stakeholders and implementing partners. Aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Swiss International Cooperation Strategy 2021–24, the cooperation programme renews Switzerland’s commitment to support Tanzania in its efforts to reduce poverty and become an equitable society. It builds on achievements and lessons learned from past cooperation, while concentrating on areas where Switzerland adds value, such as enabling access to Swiss innovation and technologies for positive impacts on systems and communities. It is one of the first Swiss cooperation programmes to factor in the social and economic consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak and to plan for COVID-19 recovery.

Young people represent around two-thirds of the Tanzanian population. The overall goal of the Swiss Cooperation Programme Tanzania 2021–24 is to empower these young people, and especially young

women, to be the main driver of the country’s development. To that end, Switzerland will pursue three cross-sectoral outcomes – i.e., strengthening state institutions, protecting and promoting civic space, and improving the health and livelihoods of youth. It will keep promoting democratic governance, accountability and human rights, which are critical components of peace and necessary pre-conditions for sustainable development. Switzerland will also continue supporting the Tanzania National Malaria Control Programme, one of the best performing malaria programmes worldwide. To leave no one behind, it will invest in Tanzania’s main social protection scheme and promote the inclusion of vulnerable groups such as young women and low-income families. Better disaster preparedness, response and recovery will enhance the population’s resilience to adverse effects of climate change.

Switzerland and the United Republic of Tanzania have enjoyed strong relations and - since the early 1960s - development cooperation and evidence-based policy dialogue have played an important part of the cordial ties between the two countries. I thank all those involved in establishing and implementing the strategic priorities set out in the present Swiss Cooperation Programme Tanzania 2021–24. I trust these priorities will make a positive contribution to the quality of life in and to the sustainable develop-ment of Tanzania, as well as continued stability in the region.

Abbreviations and Acronyms 1. Context Analysis

The United Republic of Tanzania consists of Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar (see map in Annex 1). Tanzania’s vision is to transition from a least developed country to middle-income status by 2025. Tanzania is Africa’s sixth-most populous country (58 million). It is also experiencing high population growth. Models predict that, by 2050, it could be home to over 100 million people. With children and youth under the age of 25 accounting for around two-thirds of the population, Tanzania is also an extraordinary young country. While two-thirds of the population live in rural areas, it is among the fastest-urbanising countries in Africa. New urban settlements are emerging and cities and towns rapidly growing. Dar es Salaam, the major economic hub, is expected to become a megacity with over 10 million people within the next decade.

Tanzania ranked 130th among 189 countries in the Gender Inequality Index 2019. High and persistent gender inequalities are mainly due to traditional so-cial norms and the prevailing legal framework.1 In 2017, the Government of Tanzania launched a Na-tional Plan of Action to End Violence Against Women and Children, but gender-based violence (GBV) re-mains high. An important step towards empowering women are reserved seats in parliament, thanks to which the share of women parliamentarians (37%) is well above the sub-Saharan Africa average.

Tanzania’s vast natural resources are under huge pressure from the growing population and unsustainable production and consumption patterns. Climate change, unless successfully mitigated, will further harm the natural capital and the health and livelihoods of millions of Tanzanians. Higher temperatures, flooding and droughts, and a rise in sea level threaten agricultural production and exacerbate illness and mortality linked to malnutrition, diarrheal disease and malaria. Exposure to air pollution, associated with rapid urbanisation, increases the prevalence of respiratory diseases.

GOVERNANCE

Politically, Tanzania is at a crossroads after almost two decades of slow but steady progress towards a more inclusive democracy. The Tanzania Development Vision 2025 lists good governance as one of five goals. Since coming into power in 2015, the government has chosen a strongly state-led development model; decision-making power and financial resources have moved to the central government. Strengthening decentralisation to and capacities at the local level is a challenge.

Democratic institutions and processes are under threat in Tanzania. There are only few checks and balances. Parliament and formal accountability in-stitutions are only partially independent. Social ac-countability is also limited as the space for communi-ties and civil society is shrinking and reliable data is scarce.

Increasing revenues, the efficient use of public re-sources and anti-corruption are flagship policy pro-jects of the current Government. Citizens perceive corruption to have declined dramatically. However, limited transparency in government spending puts the sustainability of the ambitious agenda at risk. The government has also instilled more discipline among civil servants and cut administrative costs. Im-provements in local government revenue collection and management have been reported. But despite a strong drive to increase domestic revenues, the over-all tax-to-GDP ratio has barely changed.

Tanzania remains peaceful. However, the traditionally fairly open political and civic space is shrinking, and the relatively strong social fabric is under pressure. Laws such as the Media Services Act, the Cybercrime Act and the Statistics Act can serve to hinder media freedom and public debate, and the amended NGO Act and new NGO Guidelines create challenges that potentially affect the work of CSOs as public service providers but even more so as legitimate accountability actors. Tanzania’s position in the Press Freedom Index from Reporters without Borders declined dramatically from rank 75 in 2015 to 124 (among 180 countries) in 2020.

SOCIAL

Public spending on social sectors is low compared to countries with similar income levels. In 2018 only 9% of the national budget was allocated to health, 50% of which was financed through an externally funded Health Basket (HBF) and initiatives such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisations. Access to primary health care (PHC) has significantly improved thanks to decentralised Health Basket funding and an e-health-strategy that introduced innovations such as health insurance management and electronic patient records. PHC clinics have been upgraded and accountability for health sector resources has increased. Eighty-five percent of births take place in clinics, which has contributed to reduced maternal and neonatal mortality. Under-five mortality has declined by over 50%.

While access has increased, health outcomes are compromised by poor quality standards, an insufficient human resource base and inadequate professional skills. Inequalities because of high dependency on out-of-pocket payments are likely to remain. Various national social protection schemes exist, however with no clear architecture. One-third of Tanzanian citizens have a basic health insurance (primary care without specialised services). Social protection programmes targeting the poorest such as the Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF) are inadequately resourced and in no position to cater for all food-poor households.

Tanzania is a world leader in controlling malaria and has embarked on an effort to expand malaria free zones. At least 30% of the population lives in

low-risk zones; Zanzibar has maintained malaria prevalence below 1% for the past decade.

Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Tanzania was well positioned to make good progress towards the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The pandemic, however, has highlighted weaknesses of the system to mount an effective infection prevention and containment strategy, slowed down PHC service delivery and is expected to further undermine the quality of services.

According to the World Bank school enrolment has increased thanks to free education, but only 69% of children complete primary school and 27% proceed with secondary education in 2018, and many quit without having developed a sound level of basic skills. Over recent years, the government has shown more interest in the learning needs of out-of-school youth and vocational skills development (VSD). However, access to VSD remains low; the quality and labour market-relevance are unsatisfactory. Consequently, the employment rate among graduates of technical training programmes is very low (2014: 14%). The agricultural sectors (production, trade and processing) represents 70% of employment. This is where women and youth are most likely to engage, in particular in the more vulnerable and lower-paid occupations. As legal protection is absent, working hours can be long, incomes are extremely volatile and social benefits inexistent. On top of inadequate skills, informal sector workers and especially young women are prevented from engaging in more gainful economic opportunities by limited access to productive assets and quality health services as well as natural hazards.

ECONOMY

Tanzania has one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies (an average 7% during the past two decades) and its economic potential is unmistakable. Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, economic growth proved resilient, driven by public investments in big infrastructure projects, gold exports and tourism. Inflation and exchange rates were relatively stable. In 2020, Tanzania was for the first time classified as a lower middle-income country by the World Bank with a GDP per capita of USD 1,080. However, growth has not been inclusive and barely enough to raise incomes of the poor.

Tanzania hosts one of the largest poor populations in Africa. Approximately 14 million live below the national poverty line of USD 21 per adult equivalent per month, a number that is growing. The share of poor people declined only slightly between 2012 and 2018 from 28.2% to 26.4%. In rural areas poverty eased from 33.4% to 31.3%, while urban poverty stagnated at around 16%. Inequalities are increasing and vulnerability is high. Over 80% of the poor live in rural areas. Poverty is more prevalent among women-headed households and young people. Whereas 16% of the population escaped poverty, 12% fell back into it.

Environmental and natural resources play a critical role for the economy and the poor. Agriculture, forestry and fisheries account for 30% of GDP. Tourism, mostly nature-based, accounts for more than 13%

of GDP. Most exports are natural-resources based (coffee, cashew, gold, metals and other minerals). While 70% of the population lives in rural areas and more than 50% depends on agriculture, 85% of the population uses biomass to satisfy energy needs (World Bank 2019). It is thus evident that the livelihoods of the majority of Tanzanians, particularly of future generations, rely on the sustainable management of natural resources.

Tanzania’s ranking in the Ease of Doing Business Index is the second-lowest in East Africa.2 Among other things, the strong interventionist economic policy, significant corporate income taxes, inadequate access to finance and business development services and a struggle to find suitable skills limit the attractiveness of starting businesses and engaging in formal economic activities. The slow pace of implementation of much-needed reforms to the business environment and human capital investment is worrisome.

The economic impact of the coronavirus disease pandemic is unclear. The World Bank estimates that 500,000 Tanzanians could be pushed (back) into poverty, many of them women in the informal urban sector. Tourism, a key foreign currency earner for Tanzania, will be hit particularly hard. On the other hand, the rise in the gold price, Tanzania’s most important export, could offset some of these losses.

2 The ranking improved to 132nd in 2016 (among 190 economies), but reverted to 141st in 2019 (among 190 economies).

SWISS TRADITION, INTERESTS AND ADDED VALUE

The Government of Switzerland has been active in Tanzania since the early 1960s. Its physical presence was strengthened in 1981 with the opening of a cooperation office, now an integral part of the Swiss Embassy. Apart from Swiss official development assistance (ODA), there is a long tradition of Swiss philanthropy and commerce, including from missionaries, scientists, and sisal and coffee traders. A vast range of Swiss NGOs and academics and a modest, but growing number of Swiss companies and entrepreneurs are present in the country. Many strong Tanzanian institutions and businesses have Swiss origins.

Swiss international cooperation and geographi-cal priorities are determined by the needs of part-ner countries and Switzerland’s long-term interests. Swiss cooperation in East Africa serves the promotion of democratic values, Switzerland’s humanitarian tra-dition, and a just and peaceful international order. Switzerland also has an interest in a sustainable and investment-friendly regional economic framework.3 Tanzania remains a priority country. Specifically, a democratic, prosperous and peaceful Tanzania is im-portant for relieving economic and migration pres-sures and maintaining stability in a conflict-prone region. More attractive and easier access to Tanza-nian markets strengthens economic cooperation and benefits Swiss companies – e.g., in research; inno-vation and digitalisation; tourism; financial services; and mineral extraction.

Swiss cooperation is aligned with the development goals of Tanzania as stipulated in medium-term plans and the Tanzania Development Vision 2025. It is guided by the Swiss Foreign Policy Strategy 2020–23 and Switzerland’s Strategy for International Cooperation 2021–24 which pursues key objectives in the areas of economic development; the environ-ment; human development; and peacebuilding and governance.

3 Tanzania is a country member of two Regional Economic Communities (EAC, SADC).

Switzerland has contributed to sustainable develop-ment in Tanzania based on the values of par tici pation and accountability, and a rule-based administration. As a heterogeneous, democratic and federal state, Switzerland has important experiences to share. Its added value lies in its long-term support for institu-tional capacity building and access to Swiss innova-tion and technology for positive impacts on systems and communities, all the while remaining flexible to adapt to local realities and dynamic contexts. Swit-zerland has established itself as a thought leader and actor in the areas of health system strengthening, malaria control and VSD as well as in the governance sub-sectors of media support and anti-corruption. It has contributed to a thriving Tanzanian civil society, which for many years has allowed the population to live mostly free and peaceful lives. In anti-corruption, Switzerland is the second-largest donor after the United Kingdom. Swiss leadership in biomedical in-novation has allowed the Tanzania National Malaria Control Programme to become one of the best per-forming malaria programmes worldwide.

2. Swiss Foreign Policy in Tanzania and Donor Landscape

DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION IN TANZANIA

Tanzania remains one of the largest aid recipients in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the share of ODA towards financing the country’s development dropped dramatically from 70% of central government expenditure in 2009 to 29.5% in 2018.4 Expecting at best stagnating ODA levels due to political and economic developments in donor countries and in Tanzania, the share will likely further decline. The top donors by far (2017–18 average) are the United States and the World Bank (IDA), followed by the United Kingdom, the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the EU and Sweden. Switzerland contributes approximately CHF 25 million per year and is among a large group of mid-level bilateral donors. The significant donor landscape is increasingly fragmented calling for strong collaboration of traditional and non-traditional partners to support Tanzania in achieving tangible results.

The Swiss Embassy is well networked with multilateral and other OECD-DAC bilateral donors. It represents Switzerland within the Development Partners Group (DPG) and co-leads and participates in DPG groups – i.e., in agriculture, health, governance, gender, VSD, private sector development, economic development and sustainable forest management.

4 Net ODA for 2014–18 was 15% lower compared to the previous five-year period (2009–13). Between 2014 and 2018, net ODA to Tanzania fluctuated at around USD 2.52 billion.

GOVERNANCE: Switzerland has gained high credibility in the governance domain, where it has balanced support for state systems, mostly through key accountability actors, and support for CSOs and the independent media to advocate for transparency and inclusion. Notably, Switzerland provided long-term embedded experts to strengthen the Prevention and Combatting of Corruption Bureau (PCCB). Among other things, the equipment of 150 law enforcement officials with financial investigation tools and capacities has played an important role in reducing corruption. Swiss support for the National Audit Organization of Tanzania (NAOT) contributed to an increase in the share of local government authorities with clean audit certificates from 81% in 2015 to 94% in 2018.

Moreover, Swiss-supported CSOs, alongside other partners, secured amendments to the Political Parties Act and the Statistics Act, which otherwise would have limited political and research activities even more. Improved accountability is also noted at the local level: Swiss-supported CSOs and national networks were involved in monitoring exercises. Budgets were analysed using a gender lens, but disaggregated data have yet to influence interventions.

Switzerland maintained its role as lead agency in the media sub-sector. Financial and technical support permitted selected Tanzanian media actors to increase their revenues by 20%; a Yearbook on Media Quality provides a new tool for monitoring media performance. Supported community radio stations experienced an increase in visitors to their blogs from around 150,000 in 2017 to 750,000 in 2018; 52 Niambie radio edutainment episodes have been aired since 2015 and provided some 1.6 million, mostly young people, with the information they need to take part in important decisions affecting their lives.

Lessons: (i) Strong and independent local accountability CSOs remain important pillars of the accountability system; (ii) Technical assistance to government bodies in areas where political will is high is an effective mode of supply-side engagement; and (iii) New models of media support are required considering the quadruple crisis of the sector6, such as strengthening young and often female innovative individuals and groups to communicate through social media.

6 Quadruple crisis: Structural change in media consumption; concerns about press freedom; reduced revenues; and the advance of fake news.

EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME: In the employment and income domain, Switzerland continued to engage with government institutions, NGOs, CSOs and the private sector. Swiss support for evidence-based advocacy and social accountability monitoring contributed to the removal of taxes on cashew nuts, rice, cotton and potato crops, which benefited an estimated 5.7 million smallholder farmers. For instance, 3.5 million farmers in the cashew value chain increased their incomes by an average 19% in 2018; over 1 million female farmers had higher earnings in 2019. Switzerland also contributed to the elaboration of a National Post-Harvest Strategy and Action Plan to reduce post-harvest losses, and stimulated the development of a private sector-based market for post-harvest technologies.

Over recent years Switzerland has started its involvement in employment with a focus on agriculture. Thanks to the modest initial support for VSD that will increase over the years to come, nearly 90% of the targeted 7,635 disadvantaged youth and young adults in the Morogoro region (of which 3,347 female) entered (self-) employment in agribusinesses and renewable energy. They started to earn higher incomes (on average USD 37 per month compared to USD 17).7

The scaling up of the Swiss-financed project “Conserving Forests through Sustainable, Forest-based Enterprise Support in Tanzania” (CoForEST) benefited close to 100,000 persons in terms of income generation, social services, reduced deforestation and community resilience.

Lessons: (i) Developing truly gender-sensitive programmes and improving the quality of the engagement of and benefits for women requires extensive analyses; (ii) For the huge majority of youth, and particularly rural youth, future perspectives are in self-employment in the informal sector rather than formal jobs; experience shows that there are sufficient and attractive market opportunities for youth in specific niches; (iii) Youth require a comprehensive set of skills that include life/soft, entrepreneurial and financial skills besides quality and market-relevant vocational skills, accompanied with market linkages and access to finance; (iv) The environment for large-scale investments in agricultural value chains has increasingly become unconducive due to a challenging business environment.

7 Results from the “Opportunities for Youth Employment” project. In comparison, the Tanzanian National Bureau of Statistics has set the basic needs poverty line in at USD 21 per adult equivalent per month.

HEALTH: Swiss policy dialogue in the context of the HBF has emphasised administrative and financial decentralisation of the health sector. As a result, around 90% of the 6,000 PHC clinics introduced electronic planning and accounting systems, and thus improved their service delivery and accountability for the utilisation of public funds. Furthermore, support for the President’s Office, Regional Administration and Local Government Tanzania (PO-RALG), allowed the government to enter into agreements with the private sector for emergency procurement of out-of-stock medicines. Consequently, 80% of clinics reported no stock-outs of essential medicines, medical equipment or reagents. Collaboration with PO-RALG also facilitated the nationwide roll-out of the improved community health fund insurance (iCHF) and digital claims management system.

The renowned Ifakara Health Institute, in collaboration with Swiss and international research groups, has generated a significant amount of evidence for public health policies. Innovative health reforms and technologies and social change to improve the livelihoods of youth, in particular poor young women, have also been promoted by the

Innovation Hub in Ifakara, with close linkages to Swiss academia and private sector.

Globally recognised practices to further reduce malaria prevalence and incidence have been developed and scaled up. Compared to 2002, 11 million people are less exposed to a high malaria risk, and the malaria-free zones are being enlarged.

Lessons: (i) Regional and sub-national data-driven projects foster evidence-based sector dialogue, ensure value for money, and allow the scaling up of project innovations at the national level; (ii) The HBF is an effective sector dialogue platform and remains the most reliable funding source for health service delivery, although more efforts could be made to increase the extent to which services are responsive to the special needs of youth; (iii) The One Health approach5 will gain importance in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis.

most vulnerable population groups – i.e., food-poor families, youth and in particular poor young women.

While still recognising the advantages of clustering for efficiencies and synergies, the cooperation programme will no longer have a geographic focus. This in order to increase flexibility for implementing partners to engage where data show that needs are highest and to underline the ambition to work on sustainable national reforms rather than pilot projects.

In light of rapid urbanisation and urban poverty, the programme will build on a better understanding of peri-urban spaces, services and opportunities and rural-urban mobility dynamics. Attention will be given to Zanzibar, especially in connection with governance, the functioning of state institutions and the growing unrest among the youthful population.

With ten years to go, the coming period is crucial for Tanzania’s progress towards the SDGs. Going for-ward, Tanzania clearly faces a series of challenges, but can draw on the benefits of a peaceful past, a strong social fabric and low levels of violence. How-ever, the social and economic consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020 could have a pro-found impact on Tanzania’s development outlook and consequently across Switzerland’s cooperation programme and implementation arrangements.

The domains of intervention of the previous cooperation strategy remain relevant to the domestic context and align with Switzerland’s Strategy for International Cooperation 2021–24 (IC Strategy) through the SDC Strategic Guidelines for Eastern Africa 2021–24. Generally, the Swiss Cooperation Programme 2021–24 will allow for continuity, capitalisation and scaling up of previous Swiss support. To maintain its visibility and accelerate impact, Swiss cooperation will transition from a domain to a cross-sectoral approach to policy dialogue, planning, programming and implementation. The programme will cover areas where needs are greatest and where Switzerland adds value to the efforts of national and international development partners to achieve systemic change.

Switzerland will continue to enhance demo-cratic governance by providing support for reform-ing state institutions to increase public revenues and provide better, equitable and more relevant public services for all citizens and by strengthening key ac-countability actors and facilitating civil society en-gagement. The generation, dissemination and analysis of disaggregated data will substantiate and guide Swiss policy dialogue on the ground. Compared to the previous strategy and in order to focus on available resources, maintaining peace will no longer figure as a stand-alone objective. But Switzerland remains committed to promoting social cohesion.

Achieving better health will remain a prominent feature across the entire Swiss portfolio and be pursued from a governance and a youth livelihoods angle through interventions to further strengthen the capacities of the health sector, to enable civic activities around health governance, and to facilitate

access to health services including in the areas of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and GBV. These interventions will complement institutional support for the health sector through the HBF.

The large cohort of young people in Tanzania carries huge potential. However, many of them live in poverty with little or no prospects. Swiss cooperation will enhance its focus on youth below 25 as beneficiaries, partners and agents of change. As in recent years, Switzerland will continue increasing its engagement in youth employment. Basic education and vocational skills are both essential elements of socio-economic empowerment and civic engagement. Switzerland will therefore continue supporting young men and women with opportunities to learn market-relevant vocational skills in formal education and alternative learning pathways. Within VSD programmes, it will explore possibilities to increase its engagement in soft/life skills and to expand ICT skills development, and will include basic education components for illiterate and low-skilled participants.

To improve access to finance, Switzerland will also support the Financial Sector Deepening Trust (FSDT) that aims to narrow the financial inclusion gap and drive a financial system that contributes to improved well-being of four selected target groups: women, rural youth, famers and SME’s. In doing so, a clear focus on rural youth and poor young women’s capital is a key contribution to change for the next generations.

Stronger emphasis will be given to engaging with the private sector, as well as to innovation and technology as a vehicle to addressing urgent development challenges and influencing growth dynamics. This includes reinforcing linkages to Swiss innovation centres and building on the existing innovation ecosystem in Tanzania.

True to Switzerland’s commitment to leaving no one behind, an overarching objective of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs, Switzerland will invest in Tanzania’s main social protection scheme (TASAF) and identify entry points for policy dialogue and programmes that directly target and protect the poorest and

The overall goal of the Swiss Cooperation Pro-gramme Tanzania 2021–24 is to empower young people, especially poor young women, to ad-vance socially and economically, thus enabling them to be a main driver of Tanzania’s move to an equitable and stable middle-income country, and contributing to regional stability and pros-perity. To reinforce coherence and synergies, Swiss cooperation will pursue three cross-sectoral portfo-lio outcomes where national policy objectives and Switzerland’s Strategy for International Cooperation 2021–24 align (see Theory of Change Annex 3).

STRENGTHENING STATE INSTITUTIONS

Outcome 1: State institutions are more efficient and effective, inclusive and increasingly free of corruption

IC Strategy Sub-objective 7: Strengthening equitable access to quality basic services

IC Strategy Sub-objective 10: Promoting good governance and the rule of law and strengthening civil society

Governance reforms have shown mixed success to date. The Tanzanian civil service appears more efficient and effective in raising and utilising public resources and perceptions of public corruption have improved, but more efforts are needed. Basic social services coverage is expanding, but is challenged by changing global health risks such as the COVID-19 outbreak, prioritised infrastructure spending, population growth and urbanisation, and quality and equity issues.

Outcome 1 therefore aims at strengthening core state institutions and local authorities to be more efficient and effective in a systemic and sustainable manner, to be more responsive and accountable to – young – men’s and women’s needs and less prone to corruption. A mix of sector budget support and technical assistance, including for oversight bodies, will help inform government policies and foster the ability and capacities of the public sector to deliver quality and gender-sensitive basic health and GBV services, social protection, market-relevant VSD (with a basic education component), and financial solutions and innovations that leave no one behind.

PROTECTING AND PROMOTING CIVIC SPACE

Outcome 2: Civic space is protected and enables all citizens and especially young women to influence local and national policy making and implementation and protects their human rights.

IC Strategy Sub-objective 9: Strengthening and promoting human rights and gender equality

IC Strategy Sub-objective 10: Promoting good governance and the rule of law and strengthening civil society

The traditionally fairly open civic space in Tanzania has come under pressure. Too many young people lack the necessary skills and avenues to create and access information, and voice their interests and concerns. They remain unrepresented and unable to participate in decisions that affect the society, their communities and human rights. CSOs and the media are increasingly facing tightening restrictions, including regulatory hurdles and strict oversight.

Outcome 2 therefore aims at protecting and promoting the space that enables citizens, especially poor young women, to express themselves freely and to shape, monitor and influence social, political and economic matters that concern them. Advocacy activities of Swiss-supported accountability actors (mainly CSOs and media) and human rights defenders will preserve and open new spaces for citizens, especially youth, to engage with institutions at national and local levels and hold them to account for their duties. The likelihood is thus greater that policies, structures and processes take into account the needs and aspirations of young people, whether from rural or urban areas, and that their human rights are better respected, protected and fulfilled.

IMPROVING YOUTH LIVELIHOODS

Outcome 3: More youth, especially poor young women, benefit from gainful income-generating opportunities and sustainable livelihoods

IC Strategy Sub-objective 2: Promoting innovative private sector initiatives to facilitate the creation of decent jobs

IC Strategy Sub-objective 7: Strengthening equitable access to quality basic services

IC Strategy Sub-objective 9: Strengthening and promoting human rights and gender equality

Switzerland recognises that the growing Tanzanian population is a huge opportunity for accelerating growth and shared wealth. However, poverty is most prevalent among young people. Youth and particularly young women are often stuck in low-paid informal or nonpaid work where they face limited prospects. Moreover, negative gender norms and traditions, as well as sexual and reproductive ill health hamper their socio-economic development.

Outcome 3 therefore aims at empowering and improving the livelihoods of youth, in particular poor young women, by contributing to increased access to (i) market-relevant vocational skills, innovations and financial solutions; (ii) SRH and GBV services; and (iii) social protection for those most in need. Combined, Swiss-supported public service delivery and private sector/impact enterprise engagement will expand social and economic options and allow youth to pursue new gainful income-generating opportunities and/or enhance the productivity of their current activities, thus supplementing and stabilising income flows, and contributing to sustainable livelihoods and reduced income poverty.

AID MODALITIES

Budget support and technical assistance to the Government of Tanzania: Switzerland provides financial and technical assistance to Tanzanian government counterparts and engages in policy dialogue and donor coordination. Focused sector dialogue – e.g., in health, education/VSD and anti-corruption – has been productive, and, to bring about further systemic reforms, Switzerland will support TASAF in addition to the HBF.

At the political level, there has been limited donor dialogue in recent years and few opportunities to pursue Swiss interests and arrive at a common understanding of priorities, reform strategies and long-term vision for Tanzania, including regarding human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Switzerland stands ready to revive high-level working relationships with the Tanzanian government.

Core contributions to Tanzanian non-state actors: In line with SDC’s approach to aid effectiveness, support for local systems and actors remains the preferred avenue to bring about systemic change. Over the years, Switzerland has nurtured a long list of Tanzanian partners who have grown into independent sustainable organisations and helped drive development. Core contributions to local CSOs, private sector and media partners leverage Swiss cooperation. Core contributions are aligned with those of other donors and are linked to Swiss representation in partner organisations’ governance mechanisms.

Mandates and project contributions to Swiss and international NGOs: There is a good number of international and Swiss NGOs in Tanzania. Where NGOs and Switzerland share common goals, mandates and project contributions have strengthened Swiss results. Especially Swiss NGOs have traditionally and successfully worked alongside the Swiss government by translating policies into local actions and promoting community participation in planning and decision-making or by implementing official Swiss development cooperation – e.g., in health, agriculture and youth employment. While recognising that international NGO operations in Tanzania are increasingly challenged by a restrictive

work environment, the Swiss government will continue to seek selective strategic partnerships with NGOs and other non-governmental institutions. Mandates for carrying out SDC-initiated activities will be awarded in areas where external expertise offers a clear added value.

ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR

Switzerland has engaged the private sector, including Swiss businesses, particularly in the health sector. Examples include collaboration with SICPA on traceability of materials to render Tanzanian institutions more efficient; with Medgate in telemedicine to expand medical services to remote locations; and with Novartis and Sanofi to expand access to affordable long-term prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases (NCD). Building on such positive experiences, Switzerland will seek closer cooperation with private sector players, including Swiss businesses, to explore efficient and larger-scale solutions to strengthening public service delivery, empowering youth and improving livelihoods though, including through inclusive finance and innovative practices and (digital) technologies. To this end, Switzerland will reinforce linkages with Swiss innovation centres – e.g., in health – and build on the innovation ecosystem in Tanzania.

WHOLE-OF-GOVERNMENT APPROACH

The main responsibility for implementing the Swiss Cooperation Programme Tanzania 2021–24 lies with SDC, at the country level represented by the Swiss Embassy. In fulfilling its commitments, SDC closely collaborates with the Political Division and the Hu-man Security Division of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) and with SECO. In particular, the embassy will continue interacting with selected SECO and SIFEM supported programmes – e.g., in local economic development and innovations; in audit and revenue administration; and in forestry. The Swiss Embassy also endeavours to increase its awareness of and reinforce strategic and mutually beneficial linkages with relevant SDC global pro-grammes for greater leverage and better results in

TRANSVERSAL THEMES: GENDER AND GOVERNANCE

Gender equality is at the core of Swiss cooperation since the reduction of gender-based discrimination and gender gaps is both a goal and a pre-condition for development. In Tanzania, Switzerland seeks to promote more gender-inclusive governance and public institutions (Outcome 1); increase the participation of women in decision- and opinion-making (Outcome 2); and improve poor young women’s livelihoods (Outcome 3). Identifying entry points and effective approaches for gender mainstreaming and the development of programmes that aim for transformative change in these areas requires extensive analyses to understand constraints related to roles and power relations, gender norms and behaviour, decision-making, access to and control over resources, and legal frameworks and policies. Switzerland will address gender in its policy dialogue, planning and monitoring, capacity building and communication.

Governance is a strategic objective and a transversal theme. Aware that it is a sensitive undertaking, and that therefore risks to stakeholders need to be mitigated, Switzerland aims to influence power relations. It will support duty bearers to deliver services in an efficient and effective manner and to create enabling spaces for citizen participation, and rights holders to hold decision-makers accountable at different governance levels. Governance principles will cut across all interventions, especially the principles of accountability and transparency which are of paramount importance to overcome corruption.

OTHER THEMES: CLIMATE CHANGE AND CULTURE

Climate change: The ND-GAIN Country Index, which combines the vulnerability of a country with its ability to respond to climate change, features Tanzania at the low end. Climate change is not a stand-alone theme within the Swiss portfolio, but, as hitherto, will be addressed as an amplifier of existing stressors in the areas where Switzerland is engaged, for instance in connection with malaria, agriculture and especially forest management.

Culture: Switzerland will continue to allocate 1% of SDC’s operational budget to the promotion of local artists and culture. Aligned with Swiss portfolio Outcome 2 “Enabling space” and Outcome 3 “Youth livelihoods”, the embassy will support a limited number of local (youth) cultural organisations, and (young) cultural managers and promoters in Mainland Tanzania and the Isles to contribute to building a strong, dynamic and innovative arts and culture sector.

policy dialogue. Collaboration in health and around sustainable forests and climate change have been particularly successful. The embassy provides inputs that help shape Swiss positions in multilateral gov-ernance bodies such as the World Bank, AfDB, the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), UNFPA, UN-ESCO and UN-Women.

HUMAN AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

The current embassy staffing is adequate for managing and implementing the Swiss Cooperation Programme Tanzania 2021–24. Cost-effective management will be emphasised by focusing on fewer but larger programmes, which will also create the necessary space for pursuing the new cross-sectoral orientation of the cooperation programme.

The total predicted budget for 2021–24 is CHF 100 million or an average of CHF 25 million per year (compared to an average yearly expenditure of CHF 22.6 million for the period 2015–208). Financial al-locations to employment and income are expected to be by far the largest, and have exceeded allocations for health (see also Annex 4: Financial Planning).

8 Budget execution per domain 2015–20: Health CHF 54 million; employment and income CHF 48 million and governance CHF 34 million.

Projected Budget by Domain in CHF (millions): Swiss Cooperation Programme Tanzania 2021–249

Employment and income 44.0Health 26.0Governance 23.5Other (culture and transversal themes) 6.5TOTAL* 100.0

*Potential complementary engagement of other Swiss actors to be determined.

9 While Swiss cooperation will transition from a domain approach to a cross-sectoral approach, for administrative purposes the budget is structured along domains/sectors.

A comprehensive monitoring system contributes to professional documentation and communication, including annual reporting on the efficiency and effectiveness of Swiss development cooperation. It demonstrates accountability and allows for evidence-based corrective measures.

Monitoring observes three dimensions: (i) the country context; (ii) Swiss portfolio results; and (iii) management. The first dimension, the country context, is monitored through SDC’s Monitoring System for Development-relevant Changes (MERV). MERV tracks Tanzania’s economic, social, environmental and political development and how it affects Swiss cooperation.

Monitoring of Swiss results along the Results Frame-work in Annex 5 assesses progress towards expect-

ed Swiss portfolio outcomes and contributions to selected country outcomes, including with regard to the transversal themes gender and governance. Among other data gathering instruments, monitor-ing builds on perception surveys, annual reports by implementing partners and youth consultations. The Swiss embassy in Tanzania is looking into digital data gathering for more frequent data collection. A mid-term review of the cooperation programme will be conducted after two years.

Four instruments are used to monitor management, the third dimension of the monitoring system – i.e., the Internal Control System, the Office Management Report, the Gender Equality Mainstreaming Plan and financial reporting.
