Member companies behind the agenda

Since 2013, the CEO Roundtable of Tanzania has championed Public-Private Partnerships as a practical instrument for national development. In that year the CEOrt initiated dialogue on PPP, engaging government officials to address policy framework weaknesses and recommend legislative improvements — the beginning of an advocacy agenda that continues today.

“Without new forms of production, you will rarely find new avenues for taxes.”
— Dr. Mwigulu Nchemba, Minister of Finance and Planning

How a PPP is structured

Public Sector

Policy direction, enabling legislation, land and concessions, and long-term public interest oversight.

Private Sector

Capital, technical capability, operational efficiency and delivery discipline from experienced operators.

Public-Private Partnership

A contractual vehicle that shares risk, financing and responsibility on transparent, predictable terms — governed by the PPP Act and National PPP Policy.

Infrastructure

Energy, transport and utilities delivered at scale

Public services

Better services without overstretching the public purse

Economic growth

New production, jobs and — ultimately — new avenues for taxes
