Tanzania will receive a $100 million loan from the World Bank's
International Development Association (IDA) to help improve governance
in the east African country.
Businesses have long complained corruption is one of the main reasons for the high cost of doing business in Tanzania.
The
loan would be aimed at increasing
transparency and accountability in
governance and improving public financial management, said Philippe
Dongier, the World Bank's country director for Tanzania.
The
project will also help promote budget credibility and execution through
better cash management, public investment management and procurement to
improve health, education and water supply services to the poor, the
Bank said.
