Anti-Corruption Support
The second phase of the Anti-Corruption Support program aims at accelerating the Swiss contribution to an institutional and social environment in Tanzania that is increasingly adverse to corruption. The main line of intervention remains technical assistance to the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) but increasingly includes other key anti-corruption agencies. This support is complemented by activities enhancing collective action to foster a society that is increasingly adverse to corrupt behaviour.

Hintergrund | Tanzania has made impressive progress in the fight against corruption over the past four years, as evidenced by an improvement in Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index, moving from 117th in 2015 to 99th in 2018 (with an overall score increasing from 30/100 to 36/100). However, this success was mostly driven by a system of top down accountability while potential allies in the fight against corruption – such as civil society, an independent media, but also the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) – were weakened. There has been limited progress in the institutional framework to address corruption. The National Anti-Corruption Strategy and Action Plan (NACSAP III) was launched in 2017, however implementation is lacking behind. The risk of human rights violations as a consequence of not adhering to due process in the judicial system is increasing. |
