Background

UNDP Tanzania’s inclusive growth programme 2016 – 2021. The overarching goal
is to support Tanzania to accelerate inclusive economic growth with a focus on
poverty reduction, job creation and environmental sustainability, in line with
the principal objectives set out in the Tanzania Development Vision 2025 and
Zanzibar Vision 2020, which aim to eradicate extreme poverty, and promote high
quality livelihoods and a competitive and diversified economy. The specific
objectives for UNDP Inclusive Growth support are aligned with the priorities
set out in the National Five-Year Development Plan II, to increase use of
modern technologies in key growth sectors, enhance conservation of the
environment and natural resources for poverty reduction and economic growth,
develop a harmonized delivering system of social protection, promote women’s
economic empowerment and develop pro-poor value chains. They are further
aligned with the priorities set out in the draft Zanzibar Strategy for
Economic and Social Transformation, to modernize agriculture and agro-industry
sectors to increase trade, promote a conducive business environment, improve
social protection schemes, and promote gender equality and
women’s empowerment.
The strategy primarily contributes to the achievement of Sustainable
Development Goals SDGs Goal 1 No poverty, Goal 2 Zero Hunger, Goal 5
Gender Equality, Goal 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth, Goal 9 Industry,
innovation and infrastructure and Goal 10 Reduced Inequality. It also
conforms to the United Nations Development Assistance Plan II UNDAP II for
2016-2021, in its vision on inclusive growth toward achieving the following
outcomes

Increased economic transformation for greater poverty reduction,
competitiveness and increased
opportunities for decent and productive employment.
Enhanced equitable and inclusive access to quality basic education and
lifelong learning; and,
Increased coverage of comprehensive and integrated social protection for all,
especially the poor and vulnerable.

UNDP supports the government of Tanzania to create livelihood opportunities
and reduce poverty, especially among the most vulnerable groups. We work with
businesses to create jobs and economic growth, and with government to build
infrastructure, link rural areas to markets and develop new forms of
employment. Through our work we promote an integrated approach that tackles
the issues of multidimensional poverty, inequality and exclusion, and
sustainability, while enhancing knowledge, skills, and production technologies
to enlarge people’s choices, reduce risks and sustain development gains.
