UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) Converted to Single Country Programme for Tanzania
The United Nations has announced a significant development in its partnership with Tanzania, as the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) has been transformed into a single country programme spanning from 2011-2015. This new framework is aligned with the “Delivering as One” initiative, which aims to enhance cooperation and coordination among UN agencies in Tanzania.
Tanzania’s National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP II)
The United Republic of Tanzania has developed its Second National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP II), covering the period between 2010-11 and 2014-15. The strategy aims to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and promote economic growth in the country.
Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP)
The Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) in Tanzania has identified key challenges that hinder effective compliance with new legislation. To address these issues, the programme emphasizes the need for continued strengthening of tripartite partnerships between government, employers, and workers’ organizations.
Improving Labour Law Compliance Project
The Improving Labour Law Compliance project was implemented in Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar from 2009-2012. The project aimed to address gaps that hindered effective compliance with new legislation, providing support to the Government’s commitment towards productive economic development and decent work. The US Labor Department (USDOL) funded the project.
Final Project Evaluation
A final evaluation of the Improving Labour Law Compliance project was conducted in May 2012, assessing the project’s design, implementation, relevance, strategic fit, efficiency, impact, sustainability, and gender mainstreaming. The evaluation covered all key outputs and outcomes since the project’s inception.
