Dar es Salaam. Tanzania’s ambition to provide clean and safe water to its growing population will depend on a radical shift towards public-private partnerships (PPPs), stakeholders have said.
Speaking at a recent water forum organised by the Public-Private Partnership Centre (PPPC), they warned that Vision 2050 targets could remain unattainable without stronger private sector participation.
Addressing the event, former Controller and Auditor General (CAG) and executive director of the Wajibu Institute of Public Accountability, Mr Ludovick Utouh, described the country’s water situation as a “crisis” rooted in a lingering socialist mindset that continues to view private investment with suspicion.
