Given the importance of the multi stakeholders involvement towards realizing FYDP III aspirations, Policy Forum , UNA Tanzania, and HakiRasilimali hosted a session titled “Non-State Actors and the FYDP III: Opportunities for Transformative Collaboration” during CSO week that will deep dive on the same. The session engaged the Ministry of Finance and Planning, The Tanzanian Private Sector Forum and National Council for NGOs each acknowledging the role of Civil Society in development.
