The CAS period was extended at CASPR to allow the WBG to work with the new administration in preparing the next Country Partnership Framework (CPF).Tanzania is a low-income country.During the CAS period, the economy grew steadily at 6.7 percent annually compared with an average of 3.5 percent for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).The FY12-15 Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) was aligned with priorities in the government’s five-year strategy (MKUKUTA II) and the concurrent Zanzibar Strategy for Growth and Poverty Reduction (MKUZA II). The CAS had three strategic pillars and one cross-cutting theme: (i) promote inclusive and sustainable, private sector-led growth; (ii) build infrastructure and deliver services; (iii) strengthen human capital and safety nets, and (iv) promote accountability and governance. Following the 2014 CASPR, the three pillars and the cross-cutting theme were consolidated into two strategic clusters to align with the corporate twin goals: (a) productive investments for growth of labor-intensive industries and job creation; and (b) programs that target reduction of extreme poverty and improvements in quality of social services. However, the CASPR retained the same 11 objectives covering 10 sectors, and adjusted some of the indicators.  Exibir menos -
