We are here together today for the signature of the Sector Reform Contract on Economic and Fiscal Governance, a contract that has been prepared with great care and with much consultation between Tanzania and the European Union over a considerable period of time. During this period Tanzania, Europe and the world as a whole have seen a global financial crisis, massive migration flows, threats to global security and a further evolution of our thinking about development cooperation. All this has resulted in a strong call for better governance and the need to strengthen partnerships.
Mr Doto James, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and Planning, and H.E. Roeland van de Geer, Head of the European Union Delegation to Tanzania and the East African Community, today have signed the Financing Agreement for a new budget support programme worth EUR 205 million (equivalent to TZS 486.9 billion). This is part of € 626 million grant [equivalent to TZS 1.5 trillion] that EU has allocated to Tanzania under the 11th EDF for the period 2014 – 2020 to support government budget as well as energy and sustainable agriculture sectors.
