Abstract
Tanzania initiated a forward-looking
National Water Policy (NAWAPO-2002) to promote an integrated
approach to water resources management and improve water
supply and sanitation service (WSS) delivery in both urban
and rural areas. To do this, the Government initiated in
2004 a doubling of budget allocations to the water sector
from $60 million to $120 million. It also has shifted the
role of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MOWI), moving
from central control of water projects to facilitating and
funding projects and strengthening sector institutions and
capacity at the national, basin, and local government
levels. Much of Tanzania's capital budget goes to fund
water supply infrastructure, largely driven by the focus on
achieving the millennium development goals. Donors supply
most of the capital funding and are coordinating funds
through a Sector Wide Approach to Planning (SWAp) to
maximize effectiveness. This public expenditure review
focuses on the quantity and quality of Tanzania's
public funding process to assess how well budget allocations
for the water sector actually translate into better water
and sanitation service delivery.
