How is the EU assisting Tanzania in improving fiscal governance, ensuring rules and regulations positively impact livelihoods?

Public finance management is absolutely essential and a key part of our agreement, as it ensures the proper and effective use of resources. Through our Finance for Growth program, we focus on domestic revenue mobilization and strengthening public finance management systems. We provide training and support to ensure progress and the consolidation of robust fiscal systems.
