Public Private Partnership

improve public services. The past decade has seen the establishment of a
multitude of ICT private investors and Non-state Actors in Tanzania. The
government acknowledges the role played by the private sector in the service
provision in the ICT industry. Efforts were deployed to create a conducive
environment for PPP to operate, by developing the national PPP Policy 2010,
Legislation and Regulations. However, there are challenges facing PPP in
ICT such as low pace of technology transfer and innovation, inadequate
negotiating capacity in ICT related investment under PPP arrangement,

projects; inexistence of guidelines and procedures for PPP in ICT sector and
