Notes:

For the first annual cycle, all actions in the context of the Performance Assessment Framework (PAF) for PRBS/PRSC 1, including the Prior

Actions (in bold) for PRSC 1 were to be completed no later than March 2003.

The Prior Actions for PRSC 2 (in bold) and the indicative Prior Actions (Triggers) identified For PRSC 3, will have to be fully

accomplished/completed by March 2004 and March 2005, respectively, in order for successful negotiations and subsequent presentation of the

relevant PRSC operation to the World Bank’s Board of Directors. All other Actions, would have had to be completed by no later than

November, 2003 (PRBS/PRSC 2) and November, 2004 (PRBS/PRSC 3).

Substantive progress on the full set of actions is recognized as vital for continuation of the overall program of support to Tanzania. A broad-

based review of the PAF Actions will be conducted in November of each year.

The review of the PAF, originally designed for a three-year programme, concludes in 2004/05. During the November 2004 PRBS Annual

Review/ PRSC 3 pre-appraisal, joint agreement has been made to achieve indicative PAF actions to be completed by November 2005/March

2006. This interim arrangement for a continued PAF is for one year (2005/06). If stakeholders agree to a revision of the assessment

framework before then, then the revised framework will take precedence for monitoring in the budget support arrangement.

Partly achieved. The exercise of updating of the PRS indicators could not be completed in the context of the PHDR and the PRS PR as these reports were subsumed into the PRS Review which led to the formulation of the NSGRP.

Only those indicators which were in relation to the new strategy were dealt with in the preparation of the NSGRP. Furthermore the update could only deal with those indicators which are subject to routine data collection, given no major survey has been produced over the last year – in line with initial scheduling of surveys.

Partly achieved. The PMMP (2001) contained a list of 39 PRS indicators, which was reviewed and extended to 60 indicators in 2003. Further work is needed in a few sectors, including governance, gender, agriculture, vulnerability, roads and the environment. Discussions on

revision/improvement of indicators are now being put on the agenda of the PMS review to start following the finalisation of the NSGRP. Partly achieved.

water), NBS and PO-RALG and its draft will be finalized and circulated for final comments of sector ministries by the end of Nov 2004. To be followed by sectoral workshops, a high-level meeting to approve the strategy by early 2005, and then implementation of activities. Not achieved. The PMS
