TANZANIA STATISTICAL PLAN 6 The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania like most of the governments in the world to-day, is pursuing national development programs using results-based agenda, which includes wealth creation and poverty reduction strategies (e.g. National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) commonly known as MKUKUTA for Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar Poverty Reduction Plan ZPRP (MKUZA) for Tanzania Zanzibar), Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other national and sectoral development frameworks. The results-based agenda requires clear, unambiguous and systematic measurement and reporting on achievement of development results because, as the dictum goes, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it, and if you can’t manage it, you can’t observe it.’’ There is also increased focus on evidence-based policy and decision-making which requires that public policy decisions are informed by carefully and rigorously analysed credible and quality statistics. The national results-based agenda and the focus on evidence-based policy and decision-making have increased demand for good statistical information. Indeed, it is now nationally and internationally agreed that a good statistical information system is a necessary infrastructure and part of the enabling environment for national and global development initiatives. It constitutes an essential element in improving the ability of government to formulate appropriate policies, manage the economic and social development process, and monitor improvements in the living standards of the people. Furthermore, other stakeholders and organizations outside government (civil society organizations, research institutions, development partners, etc) need and use statistical information for their own planning and decision-making as well as for monitoring purposes. Statistical information is, therefore, an essential ingredient in the management of a modern society and its institutions. Foreword Hon. Mustafa Haidi Mkulo (MP) Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania June, 2010 TSMP_V3.indd 6 15/02/11 09:17

TANZANIA STATISTICAL PLAN 7 However, the increased demand for statistical information is faced by some constraints including; the data gaps on socio- economic indicators required for monitoring the achievement of results of development policies and initiatives; insufficient statistical coordination in the country, low awareness of use of statistics among decision makers and low priority given to statistics. As a way forward, Tanzania has prepared the National Plan for Development of Statistics, known as Tanzania Statistical Master Plan (TSMP) that will ensure improved coordination, raise statistical awareness and production of good statistics in the country. The National Bureau of Statistics in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Government Statistician Zanzibar are supervising the TSMP development process on behalf of the Government. TSMP aims at providing strategic directions and appropriate mechanisms for guiding and accelerating the development of sustainable statistical capacity in the country. Last but not least, an important objective of the TSMP is to bring together various stakeholders; data producers and data users within the National Statistical System. The TSMP is not static: it is expected to be a dynamic product that will be reviewed from time to time, and whose implementation will be monitored and evaluated on quarterly, semi annually, annually midterm and end of the program period as part of a statistics sector review.

TANZANIA STATISTICAL PLAN 10 The Government of Tanzania has been implementing structural and institutional reforms which aim at improving socio-economic development. Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Local Authorities and other stakeholders interventions as outlined in national development frameworks in order to improve livelihood of the people. In order to measure performance and results of such interventions, quality statistics are required by all stakeholders involved in all sectors in the development process. Furthermore, reliable statistics are required for planning, budgeting and reporting the outcome of the interventions that aims at reducing poverty and improving welfare of the people. Reliable statistics are also necessary for informed decision making at various levels. The National Statistical System (NSS) is made up of data collectors and users comprising of Ministries, Departments and Agencies, Research and Training Institutions as well as General Public in general. Information is usually produced through censuses, surveys and routine data systems from households, establishments and institutions. The importance of statistics can not be over emphasised as it forms the basis for evidence based policy making including the need to focus development efforts on measurable results by various stakeholders. The Tanzania Statistical Master Plan (TSMP) is a document which provides a comprehensive framework aiming at strengthening the NSS through Institutional Reforms, Human Resource and Capacity Development, Development of Statistical Infrastructure, Data Development and Dissemination and Physical infrastructure and Equipment.

The demand for statistics as a basis for measuring and monitoring development goals, targets and indicators set out in national development frameworks and internationally endorsed Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) calls for the strengthening of NSS. These facts have compelled the Government of United Republic of Tanzania through National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and Office of Chief Government Statistician Zanzibar (GS) to develop this strategy which will ensure that quality statistics for decision makers are available in an objective, coordinated, timely and cost effective manner. The process of developing the TSMP started in October 2006. An assessment of the current NSS was conducted in 2007 when twenty two (22) Ministries, Departments and Agencies in Tanzania Mainland and fifteen (15) MDAs in Tanzania Zanzibar were assessed. This assessment focused on the current situation of NSS including the existence of Statistics Units/MIS/departments, manpower, equipment, software, routine products and surveys, institutional legal/policy, data sources, management, dissemination and coordination with NBS and GS. The findings have provided inputs to the TSMP strategic document. The assessment found that 56 percent of Regional
