Local Consultant: National Growth Strategy Development Consultant
Location of Assignment: Zanzibar
Proposed Level of Effort: 30 days (to be completed within a maximum of three months)
Anticipated Start Date: September 2019
Program Background
The International Executive Service Corps (IESC) is a
Washington, DC-based economic development, not-for-profit organization
that provides technical assistance to public sector institutions and
private sector companies around the world. Within the Tanzanian context,
IESC is the prime implementer of the Feed the Future Tanzania Enabling
Growth through Investment and Enterprise Program (ENGINE), a four years
USAID funded program, launched since September 2016. ENGINE aims to
streamline and enhance many of the regulatory, informational and
financial channels that encourage domestic and foreign investment in the
southern mainland agricultural regions of Mbeya, Morogoro and Iringa as
well as in Zanzibar (Unguja and Pemba)
ENGINE works at the Local Government Authorities LGAs level,
using a broad-based approach to engage with LGAs, private sector
associations, business development service providers, financial
institutions and small and medium enterprises.
Problem Background
Zanzibar Planning Commission (ZPC) is mandated with
coordination and monitoring of implementation of development plans. The
Government of Zanzibar launched the Third Zanzibar Strategy for Growth
and Reduction of Poverty (ZSGRP III, or MKUZA III in its Kiswahili
acronym) in March 2017, which outlines the five main pillars of
development for Zanzibar. MKUZA III officially runs from 2016 until the
end of 2020, at which point it converges with Zanzibar’s long-term
development strategy, named Vision 2020 that was launched in 2000. In
this financial year (2019/20), Zanzibar Development Vision 2020 will be
thoroughly reviewed, and a successor vision developed that will outline
Zanzibar’s development goals for 2050.
Problem Statement
Despite many achievements during the implementation of
Zanzibar Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty Phase I-III in
economic growth and reduction of poverty, there are persistent
challenges that limit the ability to reach some of the objectives and
targets for Zanzibar Development vision 2020 to sustain growth and
poverty reduction. Likewise, the fact that MKUZA III would end in 2020,
will coincide with the end of Zanzibar Development Vision 2020 hence the
need for a comprehensive review, assessment and recommendations for the
next Development Vision 2050. This 20-year journey necessitates review
of the Zanzibar Growth Strategy due to the changing realities, in terms
of
opportunities and challenges, both domestically and in the global arena.
Among the specific results envisioned in this Vision 2020 and its
growth strategy, is a facilitated strong private sector, with high level
of accountability and transparency in the public sector.
Objectives of the Assignment
The main objective of the assignment is to lead a
diagnostic analysis and assessment of the key sectors of the Zanzibar
economy with a view to identify the key social economic drivers for
growth in Zanzibar. It’s also important to identify and propose
strategies that will address the identified constraints and challenges
in the key sectors to support the new vision 2020-2050. The analysis
will review all relevant past policies for Zanzibar Growth, namely;
Zanzibar Growth Strategy 2006-2015, MKUZA I-II, Vision 2020, other
sectorial policies and relevant developmental strategies. The incumbent
consultant will assess and rank key drivers for Zanzibar social economic
growth, most importantly, technological advancement, capital
