The strategy for development co-operation between Tanzania and Norway is outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The MoU is based on the principles of donor harmonisation and alignment to recipient countries’ policies as outlined in the Paris and Rome declarations and reflected in the Joint Assistance Strategy for Tanzania.
Norwegian support to Tanzania is, therefore, based on the latter's development objectives – Tanzania's priorities and national development strategies outlined in the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty.
The key areas for long-term cooperation with the government are: Poverty Reduction through Good Governance and Budget support, Natural resources and environment, Energy and Norway Tanzania Partnership Initiative (NTPI). Norway will continue support for promotion of gender equality, Roads, higher education and research, and combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic, in addition to assistance for facilitating development through direct investment and trade, and cultural cooperation. The cooperation will also provide support for civil society, which is seen as a key component for continued strengthening of the democratic traditions of Tanzania
Sectors / Areas of SupportThe main priority areas of cooperation are:
• General Budget support, Good Governance/Anticorruption
• Natural Resource and Environment
