Improving Accountability through Fighting Corruption and Increased Access to Justice (2022)

This evaluation examines the EU-supported action Improving Accountability through Fighting Corruption and Increased access to justice (IMPACT), which is comprised of two components, encompassing three contracts: 
Anti-Corruption Component 
- Building Sustainable Anti-Corruption Action in Tanzania (BSAAT)
Access to Justice Component

• Legal Services Facility (LSF);
• Programme Estimate (PE) for IMPACT.

The overall budget of the action is EUR 15 mill (BSAAT EUR 7.1 mill., LSF EUR 5.1 mill., PE EUR 2.1 mill.), commencing 30 August 2018 and concluding 29 August 2023, and was primarily designed to contribute to the achievement of SDG 16.

As part of EU development policy engagement with the GoT, the EU Delegation (EUD) and Member States (MS) embarked on a coordinated effort to promote an inclusive political system, improve accountability, and sustain peace and stability. The action aimed to improve accountability, through:

• Improving the effectiveness of Tanzanian anti-corruption institutions; and
• Increasing access to justice for all, in particular for women.

IMPACT’s anti-corruption intervention is implemented through a contribution agreement with FCDO (formerly DFID), whereas the access to justice component is implemented through a contribution agreement with DANIDA in support of the LSF, which is complemented by a programme estimate with the Ministry of Constitutional and Legal Affairs (MoCLA).
