WHAT IS CONSIDERED A PPP IN TANZANIA?
In Tanzania, a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a strategic collaboration between public agencies and private sector organisations to deliver public services or infrastructure. These partnerships capitalise on the public sector's capacity for project oversight and the private sector's expertise in project delivery, efficiency, and innovation. The Public-Private Partnership Act, its subsequent amendments, and the PPP regulations meticulously outline the identification, preparation, procurement, implementation, and governance of PPP projects.
PPPs in Tanzania feature a structured risk-sharing mechanism where risks are allocated between public and private entities according to their capacity to manage them, as detailed in the 2023 amendments to the PPP Act (Cap. 103). They also require significant financial contributions from the private sector, often bringing advanced technology and expertise to enhance service delivery. Defined as long-term ventures, PPPs aim to improve public services' quality, availability, and efficiency, supporting critical sectors such as transportation, energy, healthcare, and education. Our robust legal and institutional framework ensures transparency, accountability, and mutual benefits.
