Social Accountability
This programme will allow Swiss Cooperation to generate the capacities and experience to fill an important gap in support to civil society organisations working on social and budget accountability on local level to improve service delivery. It is building on experiences in other Southern Africa countries, whilst already contributing directly to Policy Forum, a Civil Society Umbrella Organisation mainstreaming social and budget accountability work with its membership organisations, and Youth Action Volunteers, specialised on social and budget accountability work in SDC’s priority sector of health.

Contexte |
Tanzania has a history of centralized state. The current decentralization process devolves decision-making from central to local government level. Despite some success such as a clear policy in place, political, fiscal and human resources/administrative decentralization still lag behind. But civic awareness is growing among citizens and CSOs are starting to play a significant role as challenger and watchdog thus contributing to the needed changes to reduce poverty and achieve more equity and equality in a country showing a poverty rate as high as 34%. Parliament is also increasingly active in raising critical issues, all of this being fuelled by a more outspoken media. |
Objectifs |
To improve the use of public resources and ensure a more equitable access (socially – including gender - and geographically based) to quality social services in agriculture and health. |
Groupes cibles |
Citizens, CSOs, CSO networks, LGA, national oversight bodies (Parliament and local Councils) |
Effets à moyen terme |
|
Résultats |
Principaux résultats attendus: Principaux résultats antérieurs: By applying Social Accountability Monitoring (SAM) tools Policy Forum and Sikika have been able to influence the government in changes of the budget based on the findings they published and presented in relevant stakeholder forum, in particular regarding the use of allowances. Both organizations still need support in organizational capacity strengthening to allow them to further develop stronger linkages to local levels. |
