Description
IFC—a
member of the World Bank Group—is the largest global development
institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work
in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence
to create markets and opportunities in developing countries. In fiscal
year 2020, we invested $22 billion in private companies and financial

THE ROLE OF THE WBG IN FINANCE, COMPETITIVENESS & INNOVATION
Creating
Markets Advisory for Africa (CMA) is a Global Practice of the
International Finance Corporation that combines expertise in the
financial sector with expertise in private sector development to foster
private sector led growth and help create markets in client countries.
Through this work, IFC strengthens the WBG’s evolving advisory approach
to development finance: to maximize finance for development and to
leverage private sector investments for sustainable and inclusive
growth.
With the largest economy and population in the East
Africa Community (EAC), Tanzania has attained a lower middle-income
country status but struggling to improve economic productivity that
would create enough jobs for its fast-growing youth population.
Transformation to a more modern industrialized economy that would
accelerate job growth and higher incomes requires the strengthening of
investment climate and conducive government policies for increasing
private investment and entrepreneurship. Support to financially
inclusive, gender-empowered private sector growth agenda is enshrined in
the Systematic Country Diagnosis (SCD) and Country Partnership
Framework (CPF), and at the heart of IFC dialogue with the authorities.
The timing of this assignment is critical to support the client’s
commitment to structural reforms necessary to unlock economic growth, by
strengthening the Bank’s engagement and expert resources around
financial and private sector development and competitiveness issues.
The
Investment Climate Advisory Services (ICAS) technical assistance
program in Tanzania, implemented by IFC, aims to support the Government
of Tanzania (GoT) to promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth
through better economic foundations, increased trade and investment and
business growth support. The five-year program, which is formally
titled, the Tanzanian Business Enabling Environment Support (BEES)
Program (the “Program”) has a budget of $6.7 million USD which has been
secured through a trust fund supported by the Government of Canada,
Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade & Development (DFATD).
