1. Tanzania Traditional Energy Development and Environment Organization Tanzania Experience on methodological framework for sustainable development. By G. Ngoo and E.N Sawe September 2005

2. Presentation Outline • Overview of Global sustainable development framework • Experience with sustainable development framework in Tanzania • The PRSP Reviewing Process • Role of Energy in the NSGRP • TaTEDO’s field approach on implementation energy programmes/projects for sustainable development • Conclusion

3. Overview of Global Sustainable Development Framework • In 1992 the UN Rio summit launched agenda 21 as guide to Sustainable Development • I996 the OECD called for the formulation and implementation of a sustainable development strategy in every country by 2005. • In 1998, World Bank and UNDP introduced a Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF) as a long term strategic horizon of say 15 – 20 years and within this framework Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) was launched.

4. Overview cont….. • However, developing countries encountered much more challenges in achieving Sustainable Development. (Extreme poverty, political instability, population growth, HIV-AIDS, Malaria, poor access to modern energy etc.) • In September 2000 the world leaders unanimously adopted the Millennium Development Goalsfor reduction of poverty, hunger, mortality, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women. • Energy could not be given priority • Poor access to modern energy services significantly contribute to the challenges.

5. Sustainable development framework in Tanzania • Tanzania is committed to the MDGs. • Efforts to ensure sustainable development in Tanzania have been focused on poverty reduction. • In 1999 National Vision 2025 was prepared as a guiding framework for poverty eradication. • The Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRSP) was formulated and implemented as medium term strategy for the period of 3 years (2001 – 2003).

6. Some of weakness and lessons drawn from implementation of PRSP in Tanzania • Lack of awareness and ownership of the PRSP  • Failure to provide the opportunity for a “bottom up approach”. • Limited collaboration with stakeholders. • Poor participation of non-priority sectors like energy sector. • Participation of the poor in the PRSP was not institutionalized within the Local Government Reform Programme. • Inadequate mechanisms in dealing with cross-cutting issues such as environment, HIV/AIDS, gender and employment • Lack of PRSP communication strategies • Inadequate resources to implement PRSP consultations.

7. The PRSP Reviewing Process • Number of consultations were made nationwide and within and between different sectors and stakeholders. • The key efforts were to shift from “priority sector approach” to the “outcome oriented approach”. • Inter ministerial consultative workshop - to identify key areas of inter-sector linkages and establish modalities for fostering them in the implementation of poverty reduction strategy. • A national workshop – to ingrain consensus around the strategy among government and non-government actors (CSOs) • The process climaxed by the poverty policy week – to find more consensus, foster ownership, increase awareness and deepen the understanding on specific issues that required more attention.

8. Some of issues that come out in the consultations • Linking formerly “non –priority sectors” to poverty reduction outcomes, recognizing that all sectors contribute to growth and poverty reduction • Capacity constraints of managing the PRS/Poverty Monitoring System at central and local government levels; • Harmonization of national policy processes and alignment of sector development strategies and plans of the NSGRP; • Enhancing partnership between and among sector ministries; • The need and how to mainstream cross –cutting issues; • Linkages between key international and national development initiatives. Tanzania’s Vision 2005 - NSGRP and MDGs • The NSGRP with 18 goals in three clusters - economic growth, improvement of life and social well being, and governance and accountability.

22. ConclusionModern energy is a growth engine for sustainable development,It is encouraging that it has been prioritized in the NSGRP. However, more capacity building is required in all development sectors in order to integrate energy in the sectoral policies, strategies, programmes and projects.
