2. Principles for effective implementation of FYDP II
Dirk Willem te Velde (ODI)
Presentation at ESRF Tanzania 27/10/2016

3. Introduction and overview
Tanzania recognises importance of industrialisation and need for supportive policy
Emphasis on infrastructure policies, but are we seeing the same practical push around industrial policy?
Have we seen the FYDP II in action? What can be done next?

4. Tanzania: Real growth by sector (% per annum Pa, 2005-2015)

5. FYDP II, Tanzania’s Industrial policy and SET analysis
Emphasises industrialisation (enabling environment, SEZ , logistics centre, IP, R&D, MSME, productive capacities) (and human development), ..
Infrastructure as supporting factor: ports and rail, but still a large number of options eg ports. Flagships: air carriers, training, development corridors,etc
Highlights many manufacturing sub-sectors, (chemical, pharmaceutical, construction, agro- processing (ctc, leather), coal, iron and steel, automotive ), but do we need to prioritise
Mentions several SEZs
Initial analysis of actions and finance flows, e.g. new financing options to mobilise / use finance effectively but large financing appendix mandating public and private financing is not the same as an action plan
Includes implementation / evaluation, frank on lessons learned (50% of objectives met), but not much on new approaches of experimentation (which is key for future)

6. Coherent Industrial policies: key characteristics
Improving fundamentals (macroeconomic management, investment climate, infrastructure and skills);
Export push
Clustering in special economic zones;
Active FDI promotion and building linkages with local firms;
Supporting productivity in SMEs through access to technology and long-term finance;
Improving co-ordination of implementation within government; and
Strengthening collaboration between government and the private sector.
(Ansu et al, 2016a)

7. Implementing transformation policies: lessons
Constructing a consensus among key actors that establishes economic transformation as a nation-building project, with shared commitments beyond single electoral term;
Giving at least one public agency sufficient autonomy, budgetary control and political authorisation to override interdepartmental coordination problems and engage in a practical way with credible private sector organisations;
Creating institutional arrangements that can coordinate a sufficient set of powerful public and private actors so as to ensure (1) an appropriate level of technically justified public support to promising sectors or firms; and (2) conditioned on mutually enforceable performance standards; and
Enabling discovery of approaches that work for transformation in the particular country context by means of explicit experimentation, good feedback and timely correction.
(Ansu et al, 2016b)

8. Where next for implementation in Tanzania
Build consensus around the direction of the economic transformation strategy – prioritise and communicate FYDP II
Give one public agency the power to override co-ordination challenges – Planning Commission, and/or enterprise Tanzania combining agencies such as TIC/EPZA?
Build public sector capacity to engage with private sector networks – more capacity / willingness to solve private sector problems
Build trust between government and the private sector – consult on key fiscal policy issues
Incentivise the private sector to co-ordinate around strategic issues through the use of effective umbrella and specific sector business associations – business to step up strategy
Use performance contracts within the public sector targeted on industrialisation
Improve the business climate, but also use targeted projects, selective, time-bound support around bilateral deals which are transparent - e.g. use SEZs
Make public support for the private sector conditional upon performance – e.g. in SEZs
Monitor implementation and the impact of economic transformation plans – e.g. employment impact
Evaluate and adjust economic transformation plans where necessary - experiment

9. Next steps
Manufacturing a key future sector, lots of progress is being made
Prioritise further on sectoral focus, agree action plan, start implementing it
Improve and operationalise implementation and institutional structures around industrialisation
