ASAS Group of Companies Director, Fuad Abri (R) welcoming the DPG during field visti at ASAS Daries and Milk processing company (incl. milk processing, business environment, marketing). The director said despite their modest successes in dairy processing, the dairy business environment continues to be hostile for operations in a number of ways; the government is yet to invest sufficiently in dairy industry, the system of taxation in the country especially agro-processing-taxation is still repressive and not business friendly.
About the Development Partners Group: Since formally established in 2004 the Development Partners
Group (DPG) has been working with the Government of Tanzania and other domestic
stakeholders to strengthen development partnership and effectiveness of
development cooperation. DPG comprises 17 bilateral and 5 multilateral (UN
counted as one) development agencies providing assistance to Tanzania.
The approach to aid management in Tanzania is guided by the
Joint Assistance Strategy (JAST) and takes into account the international
principles of aid effectiveness. The main focus of JAST is to promote national
ownership and government leadership in development cooperation through joint
actions that seeks to enhance the impact of development effectiveness.
By moving beyond information-sharing towards actively
seeking harmonization and alignment of aid systems and priorities, the
Development Partners (DPs) are aiming at increasing the effectiveness of
development assistance in support of the Government of Tanzania’s national
goals and systems.
Through JAST, Development Partners hope to work with
Government of Tanzania fulfill its objective of achieving sustainable
development goals laid out in the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of
Poverty (MKUKUTAII/MKUZAII), the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other
national policies and strategies.
We hope that through this website you will learn more about
DPG in Tanzania and the milestones reached in making development assistance
more effective and reflective of Tanzania’s national priorities. (Source: Development Partners Group Tanzania (DPG)
