BEST - Advocacy Component

Regulatory reform

Tanzania

{short description of image} Business Environment Strengthening for Tanzania is a major programme to promote regulatory and other reform within Government. The Advocacy Component exists to support private sector organisations (PSOs) to engage in private public dialogue and to advocate an improved business environment in Tanzania.
IGA has undertaken a number of assignments for BEST-AC including:
  • undertaking the mid-term review (2006, with Coffey International Development) - around 95 per cent of the recommendations have been implemented;
  • providing technical assistance to the University of Dar Entrepreneurship Centre (UDEC) to support them in their aspiration to become a centre of excellence for private sector advocacy (2007);
  • doing the redesign for phase II following recommendations in the evaluation that BEST-AC should be extended for a further five years (2007);
  • preparing the monitoring and evaluation framework (2007, with Annabel Jackson Associates); and
  • undertaking the implementation support review (2008, with Annabel Jackson Associates)
In November, 2007, it was announced that Dr Donath Olomi, Director of the University of Dar Entrepreneurship Centre, had been selected as the Tanzania country prize winner of the 1st Pan-African Prize for Entrepreneurial Teachers.
