The Accountability in Tanzania (AcT) programme started in 2009, ‘whose purpose is to increase the responsiveness and accountability of Government in Tanzania, through a strengthened civil society.’ AcT awarded its first grants in March 2010. It has evolved from being a 5-year £20 million to a 6-year £31 million programme incorporating a dedicated Climate Change and Environment (CCE) grant window of £4.2 million in 2012.
The main purpose of this independent evaluation (as defined in the Terms of Reference) is to explore whether the AcT model can and should be replicated, and what lessons should inform civil society work in Tanzania and elsewhere in future.
