the process is slow and the CRM is concerned that, although the URT ratified many conventions without any reservations, some of them have still not been domesticated as part of the law. The CRM notes with concern that, without such full domestication, those conventions are not part of the national legal framework and their provisions are not justiciable and enforceable in the courts. 865. The CRM notes that Government has also taken measures to establish institutions, such as the Commission on Human Rights and Good Governance, to promote achievement of the objectives of the codes and standards. The concern which remains is that some implementing agencies are not adequately informed about the status of the treaties. More efforts are therefore required to domesticate the frameworks for effective compliance. These include having a focal point/unit to coordinate the domestication process and translating the standards and codes into Kiswahili for easier access for the majority. 866. During the interactive sessions, the CRM observed a general lack of stakeholder awareness and understanding of the various codes and standards on socio-economic development to which the government is a party. Major factors that hinder the dissemination of information on the ratified codes and standards are high levels of illiteracy and poor command of English across the country. There is also a lack of information on the depository of ratified and domesticated codes and standards. Generally speaking, information on conventions is hard to come by in Tanzania. lll. Recommendations 867. 6.3 The APR Panel recommends that the United Republic of Tanzania: • Comprehensivey review and identify relevant standards and codes for signature, ratification or implementation; [Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Parliament] • Facilitate public access by translating all important standards and codes into Kiswahili; [National and local governments] and, Assessment of the Performance of APRM Objectives Objective One: Promote Self Reliance in Development and Build Capacity for Self- sustaining Development Summary of the CSAR 868. The CSAR assesses the extent to which there is a sense of ownership and whether key national development programme were designed and funded in Tanzania. In particular, it highlights steps taken to promote selfreliant development and stakeholder participation, especially for ordinary people, in the design, adoption and implementation of national development strategies and programmes. The CSAR also discusses the proportion to which internal and external resources fund national investment programmes; the responsiveness of development projects to community needs; and, measures taken to sustain local programme ownership. 869. The CSAR recognises the importance of domestic resource mobilisation and the effective use of domestic resources (natural, financial and human). Tanzania’s Vision 2025 is the foundation for achieving this vision: the thrust for promoting self-reliant development. Accordingly, Tanzanians see self-reliance in terms of mobilising and effectively using domestic resources (natural, financial and human) for developing and improving the economy and livelihoods. Special emphasis is placed on funding public investment projects and social services from increasing domestic revenues supplemented, where necessary, by external financing programmed to fit national priorities and accounted for through national systems. Self-reliance is also seen as the responsiveness of policies and plans to the priorities of the people. Creating democratic space and strengthening people’s capacities to effectively participate in the development process are essential in the pursuit of this objective. 176
