Challenges on Budget Cycle and Aid in Budget-Tanzania • Delay in firming up Development Partners’ support to national budget; • Some DPs disburse funds late which are not on budget lead implementers to receive funds late; • Development Partners provide funds with condition of counterpart funding; • Aid on Budget (still high volume of ODA provided outside of system and off-budget); • Predictability – particularly outer year but also lack of in-year predictability challenges GoT ability to plan and budget effectively and strategically and • Accountability – lack of aid disbursement information and expenditure information challenges domestic accountability
However – good progress • MoF has been receiving capacity from Development Partners -by-doing, exposure visits and trainings; • It can be done: Some donors have performed well in terms reporting disbursements to CSOs/NGOs. However, a lot needs to be done. • Disbursement reports are frequently prepared – they serve as a reminder. • A combined ODA report on monthly will be prepared and it will be shared • Agreed with DPG AMP focal points to address bottlenecks every month jointly
