The Chief Executive Officer of the Public Private Partnership Centre (PPPC), David Kafulila, today led a stakeholders’ forum organized by the centre, bringing together participants from the private sector and government institutions to discuss the progress and future of Public–Private Partnership (PPP) initiatives in Tanzania.
During the forum, Kafulila delivered remarks and responded to a number of issues raised by participants who contributed various views and suggestions regarding the implementation of PPP projects in the country.
In his remarks, he elaborated on the importance of strengthening collaboration between the private sector and government institutions, noting that such partnerships play a crucial role in accelerating national development and improving the efficiency of development projects.
Kafulila also addressed several concerns and proposals raised during the discussions, including the idea of establishing a One Stop Centre that would oversee and coordinate all matters related to investment partnerships.
Responding to the proposal, he explained that the idea is already under discussion within the government. However, he noted that establishing such a centralized system may not be easy due to the significant time and administrative resources required to implement and manage it effectively.
“At the moment, the government continues to evaluate different approaches to improving coordination in PPP matters, but the creation of a single supervisory centre requires careful consideration,” Kafulila explained.
He further emphasized that the core objective of the PPPC is to enhance the government’s capacity to effectively manage and facilitate partnerships with the private sector, ensuring that development projects are implemented efficiently and deliver tangible benefits to the national economy.
The forum provided an important platform for dialogue between policymakers, investors and institutional stakeholders, aimed at strengthening the PPP framework and creating a more conducive environment for investment and development in Tanzania.
