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.CC BY 3.0 IGOABSORPTION CAPACITYACCESS TO SERVICESACCESS TO WATERACCESS TO WATER SUPPLYAQUIFERSCAPACITY BUILDINGCOST RECOVERYCOST RECOVERY POLICIESCOUNTERPART FUNDINGFRESHWATERFRESHWATER RESOURCESHIGH LEVELSHOUSEHOLDSINVESTMENT PLANNINGINVESTMENT REQUIREMENTSIRRIGATIONLAKESMAINTENANCE COSTSMONITORING PROCEDURESNATIONAL WATER POLICYPOPULATION GROWTHPRESSURERAINRIVER BASINRIVERSRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSAFE WATERSAFE WATER SUPPLYSANITATIONSANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICE DELIVERYSANITATION SERVICESSERVICE DELIVERYSTORAGE CAPACITYTARIFF SETTINGURBAN AREASURBAN WATERUTILITIESWATER AGENCIESWATER AUTHORITIESWATER INVESTMENTSWATER NEEDSWATER POLICYWATER PROJECTSWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SECTORWATER SECTOR DEVELOPMENTWATER SERVICESWATER SOURCESWATER STORAGEWATER SUPPLYWATER TARIFFSWETLANDSWorld Bank10.1596/11694
