Bilateral development aid - 2018
Polish support for Tanzania in 2018 involved improving teaching conditions and ensuring equal education opportunities. Projects carried out in pre-school and early school facilities helped improve the teaching resources and sanitary conditions, resulting in greater comfort for both pupils and teachers. During training courses, the staff learned new teaching methods, thereby improving their vocational qualifications, a fact that had a positive impact on results obtained by pupils. Polish Aid also helped to increase the level of health care in obstetrics, gynaecology and surgery. One must also note the favourable changes in entrepreneurship, allowing the creation of new jobs in agriculture (cultivation of tropical apples) and processing of agricultural products (cashew nuts).
Among a total of 14 development projects, eight (including two volunteering ones) were carried out by non-governmental organisations, and six by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Dar es Salaam. In partnership with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a seminar in Tanzania and a study visit in Poland were organized for Tanzanian experts and administration officials, devoted to managing potable water resources and prospective cooperation with Polish entities possessing the required technologies and know-how in this field.
Polish Aid for Tanzania also offers scholarships for Tanzanian students who study at Polish universities and the disbursement of the next tranche of a loan under the 2015 agreement to finance agriculture modernization projects (the total loan amount is USD 110 million). In addition, in 2018 the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Dar es Salaam, in agreement with the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, carried out projects to renovate or repair the protection measures of historical monuments in central and eastern Tanzania.
In 2018, the total ODA for Tanzania was PLN 76,58 million
