1.0 PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP CENTER (PPP)

The Government of United Republic of Tanzania recognizes the important role the
private sector play to leverage private sector financing on public projects and services.
In this spirit, the Government developed Public Private Partnership Policy of 2009 to lay
down broad policy goals as regards putting in place enabling environment for private
sector participation in financing such projects and services. The policy was followed by
enactment of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Act (2010) and PPP regulation
(2011).

Given the importance of PPPs in attaining social economic transformation, and the need
to streamline PPP approval processes, in 2014 the Parliament of the United Republic of
Tanzania amended the PPP Act (2010) to establish an autonomous and strong PPP
Centre under the Prime Minister’s Office. The establishment of PPP Centre is aimed at
streamlining the PPP approval process, with the purpose of attracting private sector

financing public goods and services.
