DODOMA, November 2, 2026
Tanzania has been recognised for its contribution to strengthening monitoring, evaluation, performance and public accountability systems, as part of broader efforts to improve governance and government performance across Africa.
The recognition was presented to the Permanent Secretary in the Prime Minister’s Office responsible for Policy, Parliament, Coordination and Persons with Disabilities, Dr Jim Yonazi, during an event held in Dodoma on November 2, 2026.
The award was presented by the Director of the Department of Monitoring and Evaluation, Ms Sakina Mwinyimkuu, following the outcomes of the TWENDE MBELE working session held in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The recognition highlights Tanzania’s contribution to advancing monitoring and evaluation systems through its participation in the TWENDE MBELE network, which promotes improved governance, accountability and effective public sector performance across the African continent.
The initiative also underscores the importance of strengthening institutional capacity to monitor government programmes, assess implementation progress and ensure that development interventions deliver intended results.
In a separate development, Ms Mwinyimkuu presented Dr Yonazi with an award recognising his leadership in promoting monitoring, evaluation and learning in Tanzania.
The award was presented during the Fifth Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Week Conference 2026, held in Arusha.
The two awards recognise Tanzania’s contribution and leadership in strengthening monitoring, evaluation and learning systems, which play a critical role in assessing the implementation of government plans, identifying challenges and developing strategies to improve service delivery to citizens.
Effective monitoring and evaluation systems are essential in ensuring that public programmes achieve their intended objectives while promoting transparency, accountability and evidence-based decision-making in government operations.
