Titel: 81311381-Consulting services for supporting Public Financial Management Reform in Tanzania

Beschreibung: The Good Financial Governance (GFG) project in Tanzania, funded by Germany, Switzerland, and the EU, spans from May 2024 to July 2027. Building on previous GFG initiatives, it aims to enhance domestic revenue mobilization and public finance management. Achievements from GFG I and II include improved tax collection through collaboration between government offices, enhanced audit methodologies, and integration of revenue systems. Despite progress, challenges persist in revenue generation and financial management, hindering Tanzania's development goals. Tanzania faces challenges in domestic revenue mobilization and public finance management, including issues with revenue collection, expenditure control, transparency, and capacity. Despite efforts, revenue collection remains inadequate due to various factors such as a narrow tax base, unstable tax policies, low compliance, and high administrative costs. Additionally, expenditure control and transparency need improvement, with internal audits not meeting standards and weak follow-up on recommendations. The National Audit Office produces quality reports, but institutional follow-up on their recommendations remains weak. Furthermore, public procurement, while improved, still faces transparency and capacity issues. Zanzibar's public finance system is less developed than the mainland, struggling with accounting, reporting, and budgetary controls, necessitating reforms under PFMRP VI. The project's objective is to increase revenue effectiveness, accountability, and transparency, crucial for sustainable funding of public services and development. Key outputs include strengthening revenue mobilization capacities, improving expenditure control, and enhancing fiscal policy frameworks. Targeting SDG goals, it aims to benefit all Tanzanians, particularly women and marginalized groups, through better financial governance. Key partners include the Ministry of Finance, Tanzania Revenue Authority, and various government departments, alongside civil society. In Zanzibar, it focuses on capacity building within the Ministry of Finance and related agencies. The project emphasizes systemic reforms, organizational support, and individual capacity building, tailored to Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar's specific needs. Integration with donor dialogues ensures efficient implementation and cost-effectiveness. Overall, the GFG project strives to foster inclusive growth by strengthening financial governance, aligning with Tanzania's broader development plans and international standards for transparency and accountability in public finance.

Beschreibung: The tender outlines the requirements for services needed in two specific areas of the Good Financial Governance (GFG) Programme"s next phase in Tanzania: Output 2, which focuses on strengthening capacities for public expenditure control, and Output 4, which aims to enhance competences for implementing the Public Finance Management Reform Program (PFMRP) in Zanzibar. The overall objective of the GFG Programme is to improve the effectiveness, accountability, and transparency of revenue generation and utilization in Tanzania, ultimately promoting inclusive development. The GFG Programme, funded by Germany, Switzerland, and the EU, runs from May 2024 to July 2027. Building on previous phases, it focuses on capacity building in public finance at systemic, organizational, and individual levels, targeting central and local government institutions and civil society actors. The Ministry of Finance coordinates the Programme, which aligns with PFMRP VI and the Tanzania Revenue Authority's Strategic Plan. The contractor for this tender is responsible for implementing Outputs 2 and 4, aiming to increase the follow-up on audit recommendations and improve Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) scores. The tender specifies three work packages: 1. Enhancing Public Expenditure Control: This package focuses on capacity building and institutional support, including trainings for certification in IT-system audit, internal audit, and procurement. It also involves providing technical advice to improve audit recommendation quality, developing guidance for procurement and contract management, and enhancing institutional capacity in the e-procurement system. 2. Facilitating Stakeholder Dialogues and Providing On-the-Job Training: This package involves facilitating stakeholder dialogues on audit recommendations follow-ups and reforms. It also includes on-the-job training for implementing audit recommendations, particularly in procurement and public contract management. Additionally, it aims to identify gaps in reporting structures, internal procedures, and capacities and organize dialogue meetings to discuss actionable changes. 3. Supporting Zanzibar"s Public Finance System: This package focuses on capacity enhancement in Zanzibar's public finance system, including strengthening individual and institutional capacities in internal and external audit and public procurement. It also involves providing technical advice, conducting an independent capacity assessment, and analyzing how to improve Zanzibar"s PEFA score. The tender requires the contractor to provide qualified experts for key roles in implementing the Good Financial Governance project in Tanzania. Key Expert 1, as Team Leader, oversees strategy development, partner engagement, and operational planning for Outputs 2 and 4, ensuring coherence with project services and managing staff.

Each expert's qualifications align with specific educational backgrounds, professional experience in Africa, and proficiency in relevant languages, ensuring they meet project requirements effectively. Overall, the GFG Programme aims to address the core problem of ineffective, unaccountable, and non-transparent domestic revenue mobilization and public expenditure in Tanzania. The contractor's work under the specified outputs will contribute significantly to achieving these goals by improving audit follow-up rates and enhancing public finance management systems.
