Overview : The UNDP Democratic Governance programme applies a human right based and people-centred approach to governance programming. As such, the programme promotes inclusive national ownership of democratic governance principles, processes and institutions. Within the Inclusive Democratic Governance pillar, UNDP works with the Government of Tanzania to contribute to effective, transparent, accountable and inclusive governance. The Pillar works with the Government of Tanzania to strengthen institutional capacity and promote sustainable development in line with the Sustainable Development Agenda. Working with development partners, private sector and civil society, projects are designed to support the Government in its efforts to meet Democratic Governance challenges by specifically supporting the National Assembly to more effectively and responsively perform core functions of representation, law-making and oversight of executive functions; developing responses to address the structural causative factors and their implications in the rise of violent extremism; improving access to justice and human rights protection; and improving the capacity of implementing and financing the national, regional and global development agendas.
The programme goal is effective, transparent, accountable and inclusive governance, in line with the principal objectives set out in the Tanzania Development Vision 2025 and Zanzibar Vision 2020, which include peace, stability, unity and good governance. The specific objectives of UNDP governance support are further aligned with the priorities set out in the National Five-Year Development Plan II, including ensuring systems and structures of governance uphold the rule of law and are democratic, effective, accountable, predictable, transparent, inclusive and free from corruption at all levels; improving public service delivery to all, especially the poor and vulnerable, including access to justice; promoting human rights for all, particularly for poor women, men and children and vulnerable groups; and ensuring national and personal security and safety of property. They are also further aligned with the priorities set out in the draft Zanzibar Strategy for Economic and Social Transformation, including accountable, transparent and corruption-free governance systems and structures, and increased access to justice, respect for the rule of law, adherence to basic human rights and greater participation in the democratic process
