Background
The development partner group for private sector
development and trade (DPG PSDT) was formally established in 2007, in
order to build a coordinated development partner response to the
Government’s Joint Assistance Strategy for Tanzania (JAST), within the
overarching framework of the MKUKUTA. It continues to exist, to support
the government with the realization of the FYDP III. Currently,
PSD/Trade-DPG is chaired by the British Foreign Commonwealth Development
Office (FCDO) and co-chaired by United Nations Development Program
(UNDP). The main purpose of the PSD/Trade-DPG is to promote coherence
and consistency in development assistance to Private Sector Development,
Trade and financial sector, and the coordinate Development Partners’
support.
Background to the PSD work of UNDP:
UNDP
is a committed partner in the work of developing the Private Sector in
Tanzania and works closely with the Ministry of Industry and Trade and
its agencies on several projects, and requires support on the
implementation. These include:
- Funguo. Unlocking. Innovation. Investment. Impact. The program seeks to
support exponential ‘impact ventures’ to grow and access finance, as
well as improve the enabling environment for operation. - Strengthen MSMEs Capacity to Improve Competitiveness in Domestic,
Regional and International Markets for Selected Value Chains. This
program works closely with the Ministry of Industry and Trade
strengthening the enabling environment for Tanzanian MSMEs to benefit
from market access and increasing MSME’s exports by improving their
productivity and helping them to penetrate to existing and emerging
markets. - Green Growth and disruptive Innovation for Tourism:
As part of implementation of the recovery plan for the tourism sector
UNDP embarked on the implementation of its Build back better Tourism
sector in Tanzania focus into two ends; i) supporting the digitalization
of the sector actors and (ii) supporting product diversification and
technological uptake by MSMEs. - Digitalization of Tanzania
Tourism Sector. UNDP is building to its ongoing work around
digitalization of key operators and sees huge potential for the
digitalization of the tourism sector. In partnership with UNWTO and
others the project seeks to boost the competitiveness of the Tanzania
tourism sector providers through integrating them into global digital
value chains. - Horticulture Transformation for Inclusive Growth
(HOTIGRO). The program seeks to “unlock” the potential of the industry
by supporting sustainable and transformative activities which will
subsequently lead to a sustainable growth of the horticulture industry. - Integrated Tourism Recovery and Resilience in Zanzibar. The project
aims at contributing towards the transformation of Zanzibar’s economy,
with a specific focus on supporting a conducive environment for
sustainable and inclusive private investment in Zanzibar’s tourism
industry. - Catalyzing Innovation into Smart Aquaculture in
Mtwara Region for a Better Tomorrow. In partnership with the Mwanza
Regional Commission office, local government, the Fishery Education
Training Agency (FETA), and the local community groups, UNDP seeks to
play a catalytic role in providing access to the digital Recirculating
Aquaculture System (RAS) technology for women and youth farmers in the
