Resumen
Descripción
The Tanzania country office of the World
Bank has been exploring ways in which it can be more
responsive to Government in supporting the National Strategy
for Growth and Alleviation of Poverty (MKUKUTA) and ensuring
growth is an integral part of strategic planning. Given
Tanzania's great regional variations in resource
endowments, growth potential and degree of institutional
development, it was proposed that a regional case study of
growth prospects and constraints be undertaken in
collaboration with local stakeholders in a remote region of
Tanzania. Based on this, the 'growth cluster
group' of the World Bank Tanzania country team decided
to embark on Economic and Sector Work (ESW) in Rukwa region
with the following objectives: (1) enhancing knowledge of
Rukwa's resources, infrastructure and growth potential,
as well as specific constraints at both regional and
district level, and improve awareness of cross-sectional
synergies in advancing growth; (2) identifying promising
processes for the formulation and implementation of local
growth strategies that involve adequate stakeholders
consultation, are technically sound, and provide for
appropriate higher level (regional and central) input; and
(3) identifying priority activities and investments, within
a five year time-frame, given expected budgetary flows and
local resources. This should improve the strategic focus of
regional and district growth strategies. The study aims to
improve the understanding of local area development
potential and constraints, and help regional, Local
Government Authority (LGA), and Bank staff understands the
contribution of different sectors to a more coherent
growth/poverty reduction agenda in a specific regional
setting. This report contains the study findings, being a
result of literature review and interviews conducted with
regional and LGA officials, residents of Rukwa and
representatives of institutions operating in Rukwa
region.The findings were presented at a 'stakeholders
workshop' that was held in Sumbawanga on May 17 and 18,
2007. The workshop assisted to disseminate information on
utilization of the identified potentials and which are: (a)
growth and reduction of income poverty; (ii) improved
quality of life and social well-being; and (iii) good
governance and accountability constraints to enhance the
planning process and use of available resources.
