The second phase of UNDAP II to Tanzania aims to build on the foundation that has been established by UNDAP I by working hand-in-hand with the government and other development actors and partners.
UNDAP II runs concurrently with the government of Tanzania’s (GoT’s) development frameworks i.e. the second Five Year Development Plan (FYDP II 2016-2021), the Tanzania Development vision 2025 and Zanzibar Vision 2020, UNDP’s
