Access to energy which is affordable, acceptable, available and of good quality can have a direct impact on job creation, education, health, and other human rights. The Government of Tanzania is mobilising substantial resources to increase generation capacity and access, mainly in electricity. In this context, it is essential that national energy sector priorities are established and implemented by taking into account the effects in terms of energy security and system stability; sustainability of supply, transportation and use; the potential of energy efficiency to shape a growing energy demand; the financial position of TANESCO and the overall sector competitiveness.

In particular, the programme is developed around three pillars: (i) TANESCO's operations and organisation, in order to facilitate its turnaround; (ii) energy policy analysis, planning and reforms; and (iii) energy data and statistics. A detailed credible mix of reforms and support activities has been thoroughly discussed and agreed with the relevant public institutions, coordinated by the Ministry of Energy. These activities target specific areas that have been highlighted by the major recent studies carried out on TANESCO's operational and financial performance.
