Good Financial Governance – Accountability and Revenue Mobilisation

The Good Financial Governance (GFG) Programme aims to strengthen Tanzania’s public finance system through good financial governance principles, especially transparency, efficiency, and accountability. The programme focuses on four fields of action: 1) strengthening of external audit, 2) strengthening of the system of internal audit, 3) strengthening the system of domestic revenue mobilisation and 4) strengthening the dialogue between civil and state actors. Dorsch Impact supported fields of action 3 and 4 to increase own source revenue collection in ten selected Local Government Authorities (LGA), piloting the exchange of information between five LGAs and the Tanzanian Revenue Authority (TRA) and generating citizen-oriented reports on local source revenue spending in five LGA.
