3.3.6 Objective F: Corporate Management Service Improved Effective planning and management systems are vital for NBS operations and development. In ensuring smooth operations of statistical productions, improved corporate management services are inevitable. Based on this objective, various services under corporate management to complement statistical production (legal, internal audit, procurement, financial management, marketing, and monitoring and evaluation services) were implemented. However, during the operations, NBS encountered challenges and inadequate assessment of the performance and delay in procurement procedures which affect statistical production. Moreover, corporate management services need sufficient and sustainable financial and non- financial resources. Insufficient resources and lack of resource mobilization strategy were the main reasons for the failure to accomplish some of the targets as outlined in the previous Strategic Plan. Adequate resources should be available to enable NBS to carry its coordination role and production of statistical products and services. Therefore, the objective has a stand- alone strategy on resources mobilization that aims at ensuring availability of resources for production of statistics and making better use of the available resources.

3.3.7 Objective G: Coordination and Harmonization of Production of Official Statistics in the National Statistical System Improved The Statistics Act CAP. 351 R.E. 2019 has mandated NBS to coordinate statistical production activities in the National Statistical System. The Act has also mandated Government institutions2 to collect analyse and disseminate official statistics. The NBS, therefore, should coordinate Government institutions in an attempt to ensure quality and comparable official statistics are provided. Review of the 2016/17-2020/21 Strategic Plan revealed inadequate coordination and

harmonization of statistical activities within the NSS in the production of official statistics. Also, the review of final evaluation report of TSMP 2011/12 - 2017/18 identified that 30 to 40 percent of data are generated from surveys, and the remaining percentage can be obtained from routine data produced by MDAs. Furthermore, the report indicated that routine data production is based on unstandardized methods and tools, leading to poor data quality. Based on the mentioned challenges, NBS should establish a coordination mechanism alongside
with harmonization of concepts and definitions used in data collection and analysis across all
Government Institutions.

CHAPTER FOUR
RESULTS FRAMEWORK

4.0 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of results framework, which includes; beneficiaries of NBS
products and services, linkage with the national framework, results chain, result framework matrix, and monitoring and evaluation plan. It also covers the reporting plan, internal and external reporting mechanisms, relationship between results framework and results chain. The components of results framework form the input, output and outcome to be realized by the NBS development goal. The achievement of development goal will be determined by efficient utilization of inputs to realize
outputs which eventually will lead to the planned outcomes.

4.1 Beneficiaries of NBS products and services Beneficiaries of NBS statistical products and services are Development Partners, Government
Institutions, NGOs, CBOs, FBOs, Academic, Research and Training Institutions. All beneficiaries expect quality data sets, detailed reports, updated sampling frames, statistical guidelines, and statistical consultancy services among others. On the other hand, NBS expectations from stakeholders include among others financial support, feedback for products and services, involvement in implementation of surveys/statistical activities and quality routine data from data
producers.

4.2 Linkage with National, and International Framework The NBS Strategic Plan aims to achieve the development goal, which translates to seven corporate objectives. The objectives are linked to the national, regional and international frameworks, including SDGs 2030, FYDP III 2021/22 -2025/26, Tanzania Development Vision 2025 and Ruling Party Manifesto. The development goal tends to facilitate the production of quality statistics by NBS and the Government institutions through monitoring, evaluation and policy formulation at sectoral, national levels, regional and international development programs.

4.3 Chain of Results The NBS chain of results is made of outcomes, outputs, activities and inputs that relate to specific objectives and targets. The NBS Strategic Plan 2021/22 -2025/26 and Medium-Term Expenditure Framework 2021/22 -2025/26 form the chain of results. The basic assumption is that there is a linkage in the various elements of chain of results. The chain of results is justifying NBS to use government resources in various statistical operations and thus contribute to the country’s social-economic development.

4.4 The Results Framework Matrix The results framework matrix contains overall development goal, objectives, planned outcomes and outcome indicators. It entails mechanization that will be used to achieve development objectives and measure the results. The indicators in the matrix will be used to track progress towards the achievement of intermediate outcomes and objectives, as indicated in Table 3.
