Tanzania has released country's new 5-year development plan known as FYDP II reaching until 2020/2021. This presentation summarizes the main points of FYDPII as well as points out lessons and challenges of SDGs implementation in Tanzania.

1. Tanzania’s FYDPII and SDGs’ implementation

2. FYDP II in a nutshell
• MKUKUTA no longer exists, Tanzania’s Second Five Year Development
Plan (FYDP II), 2016/17–2020/21 has merged together two frameworks:
the first Five Year Development Plan and the National Strategy for Growth
and Reduction of Poverty know as MKUKUTA.
• The theme for FYDP II is “Nurturing Industrialization for Economic
Transformation and Human Development”
• FYDP II implements aspects of Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025
which aspires to have Tanzania transformed into a middle income and
semi industrialized nation by 2025, characterized by (i) high quality and
sustainable livelihoods; (ii) peace, stability and unity; (iii) good governance
and the rule of law; (iv) an educated and learning society; and (v) a strong
and competitive economy.

3. Objectives of FYDP II
● Foster development of sustainable productive and export capacities.
● Consolidate Tanzania’s strategic geographical location through improving
the environment for doing business and positioning the country as a regional
production, trade and logistic hub.
● Promote availability of requisite industrial skills (production and trade
management, operations, quality assurance, etc.) and skills for other
production and services delivery.
● Accelerate broad-based and inclusive economic growth that reduces
poverty substantially and allows shared benefits among the majority of the
people through increased productive capacities and job creation especially
for the youth and disadvantaged groups.

4. Objectives of FYDP II
● Improve quality of life and human well-being.
● Foster and strengthen implementation effectiveness, including prioritization,
sequencing, integration and alignment of interventions.
● Intensify and strengthen the role of local actors in planning and
implementation.
● Ensure global and regional agreements (e.g. Africa Agenda 2063 and
SDGs) are adequately mainstreamed into national development planning and
implementation frameworks for the benefit of the country.

5. Domestication of SDG
Tanzania integrated several SDGs in FYDP II which are:
• Goal 1: Ending poverty
• Goal 2: Agriculture and food security
• Goal 3: Health
• Goal 4: Education
• Goal 5: Gender equity
• Goal 7: Energy supplies
• Goal 9: Infrastructure and industrialization
• Goal 17: Strengthening the means of implementation and revitalize the
global partnership for sustainable development

6. Domestication of SDGs
Ministry of Finance and Planning, Poverty Eradication Division in
collaboration with (ESRF) prepared four frameworks on implementing SDGs
in Tanzania, which are:
• Framework of Research Agenda on SDGs in Tanzania;
• Framework of localization of SDGs in Tanzania;
• Framework of communication and dissemination strategy on SDGs in
Tanzania;
• Framework on Monitoring and Evaluation of SDGs in Tanzania.

7. Role of CSO platform
• Tanzania CSO platform on Agenda 2030 and Agenda 2063 was founded in April
2015.
• The objective of this platform is to ensure meaningful participation and
contribution of CSOs towards the implementation, follow-up and monitoring of
Agenda 2030 and Agenda 2063 in Tanzania. The platform is part of the Africa
Civil Society Working Group on Post 2015 (AWG).
• The platform seeks to facilitate sharing of knowledge, experiences, best
practices and innovations emerging from civil society organisations, leverage
on available resources in civil society (both financial and non-financial), and
minimize unnecessary duplications.
• The platform also seeks to ensure that implementation, follow up and
monitoring of Agenda 2030 and Agenda 2063 in Tanzania reaches and engages
the marginalised groups, the furthest, and the poorest of the poor.
• The platform is in the process of mapping of civil society initiatives on
implementation, follow-up and monitoring of Agenda 2030 (SDGs) and Agenda
2063 in Tanzania.

8. Challenges and lessons for
SDGs’ implementation
• The key challenges in implementing and monitoring the SDGs are data
availability and consistency, poor coordination both at local and national
level, inadequate resources in terms of human capacity and financial
resources and equipment to support. These challenges were experiences
during the implementation of MDGs.
• Implementation of SDGs should focus on changing the lives of the poor
people at the grass roots level where poverty is most felt. Communities at
grass roots and Local Government Authorities (LGAs) should be involved by
way of building their capacities to enable them make a meaningful
contribution in SDGs implementation.

9. Challenges and lessons for
SDGs implementation
• All stakeholders at all levels such as government, development partners,
CSOs, private sectors and normal citizens must be fully involved in the
implementation and monitoring of SDG in Tanzania.
• Government should strive to increase domestic resources at the same
time honour foreign aid as an important complimentary source of financing
for our development. So much has to be done to secure domestic
resources for financing the SDGs so as not to end up having the
challenges faced implementation of MDGs.
• The shrinking space for civil society in Tanzania will hinder the role of
these important actors to implement the Goals. Any efforts to realise
sustainable development should not overlook this fact.
