ENTREPRENEURSHIP SESSION 5 HAND OUT: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT VISION 2025

The implementation of the Development Vision 2025 should fundamentally embody the following attributes:

The curriculum at various levels of education should be overhauled alongside the needs of implementing the vision 2025 

 Democratisation and popular Participation

  In order for the Tanzania Society to reach this level, there is a need to:   Create an open and democratic society that provides equal opportunity to every person. This entails creation of an active and participatory civil society in the articulation of its needs and in taking pride to fulfill its societal responsibilities;

Leaders with personal integrity, committed to the development of society and to the pursuit of the interests and welfare of the whole society; Improve public service delivery by ensuring that public servants are accountable to the people; 

Permit a greater role for local actors to own and drive the process of their development. Local people know their problems best and are better placed to judge what they need, what is possible to achieve and how it can effectively be achieved.

Decentralize the political administration and the fiscal structure roles and responsibilities on the basis of the principle of subsidiarity to commit individuals, households, communities and local government to the pursuit of the common Vision goal; 

Monitoring, Evaluation and Review 

This framework is essential in order to:

  Ensure that the process of evaluation and monitoring is used to track down progress towards the realization of the Development Vision goals. The best way to track down such progress is to start with ~ The envisioned end-result and work backwards to map out the milestones;Develop specific performance benchmarks and measurable outputs to assist in monitoring the process of implementing the Development Vision goals; 

Review the Development Vision in every five years so to gauge how the nation is faring and what adjustments need to be made as part of a regular evaluation and monitoring exercise.   Establish an efficient system of information and communication to facilitate timely monitoring and evaluation and ensuring a synergy between the various actors in society.  

Governance and the Rule of Law 

  Existence of this framework requires the society to:

Build the capacity of the public sector, civil society, media, parliament, the law enforcement institutions and others inside and outside the government as a means to build accountability to concerns public; 

Sensitize the people and raise their level of awareness as necessitated by the need to implement the Development Vision;

  Adopt strategies to build integrity by promoting accountability and transparency.

  Ensure that all service delivering institutions provide correct information and analysis in response to their obligations to society; 

Enshrine and entrench the pillars and core values of the Development Vision into the Union Constitution to make them sacrosanct and thereby galvanizing Tanzanians behind their practical realization
