The Tanzanian government has taken a positive stance on private-public partnerships (PPPs) with investors. The government has recognized the important role of private sector investment in economic growth and development.
In 2015, Tanzania's government launched a national development plan called Tanzania Development Vision 2025, which aimed to transform the country into a middle-income economy. One of the key strategies outlined in the plan is to promote private-sector investment through PPPs.
The government has taken steps to create an attractive environment for private-sector investment. In 2010, the government passed the Public Private Partnership Act, which provides a legal framework for PPPs in the country. The act establishes the legal and institutional framework for the identification, preparation, appraisal, implementation, and monitoring of PPP projects.
The government has also established the Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC), which serves as a one-stop shop for investors seeking to invest in the country. The TIC provides assistance to investors in obtaining various licenses and permits and also provides information on investment opportunities in the country.
Several PPP projects have already been implemented in Tanzania. One notable example is the Dar es Salaam Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, which was implemented through a PPP between the government and a consortium of private sector companies. The BRT system has improved public transportation in the city and reduced traffic congestion.
Another example is the Kilwa Energy Company, which is a joint venture between the government and a private sector company. The company was established to develop and operate a gas-fired power plant in Kilwa, which has increased the country's electricity generation capacity.
The Tanzanian government has also identified several sectors where it sees potential for PPPs, including infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and tourism. The government has encouraged private sector investment in these sectors through various incentives, such as tax breaks and duty exemptions.
Overall, the Tanzanian government has shown a strong commitment to promoting private sector investment through PPPs. The government's efforts to create an attractive environment for investment have already yielded positive results, and it is expected that more PPP projects will be implemented in the future.
