Social Accountability Programme 2019 - 2022
Against the backdrop of shrinking civic space in Tanzania, the Social Accountability Program supports four key accountability Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in the country. It aims to enhance transparency and accountability of public resource management at national and local level and to empower citizens – including youth and women - and local organizations to engage effectively in public oversight, decision making and advocacy on social issues of concern.

| Contexte | Accountability and transparency have been on the decline and the space for citizens to participate in political decision making is shrinking. Parliamentary oversight is weakening as many laws are prepared by the Executive and subsequently rubber stamped. Limited political opposition due to a ban of political rallies and frequent deflections to the ruling party have all but silenced critical voices in parliament. Re-centralization has altered accountability processes which are increasingly carried out in a top down manner by the Central Government. This has led to some perceived service delivery improvements as well as reduced (petty) corruption at the local level. CSOs are under scrutiny and face increased administrative and financial harassment at all levels. However, improved internal governance and adapted strategies – focusing mostly on non-confrontational, evidence based approaches – allow them to remain effective agents of change. |
| Objectifs | Enhanced responsiveness and accountability of public authorities, both at national and local levels, which leads to more inclusive and equitable public policies and better services for women, men and youth in Tanzania. |
