About Tanzania Social Action Fund – TASAF

The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania started implementing Tanzania Social Action Fund from 2000, offering an approach to poverty alleviation that also supported the decentralization agenda. During 2009 – 2012, under Tanzania Social Action Fund a conditional cash transfer (CCT) was piloted in three districts Kibaha, Bagamoyo and Chamwino in Tanzania Mainland. The impact evaluation of the pilot showed significant impacts on health, education and household asset creation.On the basis of this, the traditional Social Action Fund interventions evolved into a comprehensive and integrated social safety net system since 2012 with implementation of the first phase of the Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN I)

The objective of PSSN I was to enable poor households to increase incomes and opportunities while improving consumption. PSSN I achieved its target of reaching and registering its intended beneficiary population of one million households by September 2015.Through PSSN I (2013 – 2019) Cash transfers have been provided to over one million households in 10,000 villages in 161 Project Area Authorities (City/Municipal/District/Town Councils) Unguja and Pemba in Zanzibar.

The cash benefit offered to beneficiary households include a basic transfer for all targeted households, an additional unconditional transfer for households with children, and a conditional cash transfer with co-responsibilities related to the uptake of health services for the youngest children and to school attendance for school-age children.In addition, two more components of public works and livelihood enhancementwere implemented where public works program reached nearly 300,000 households in 44 PAAs with over 3,500 subprojects completed. The livelihoods component was piloted in 8 PAAs with more than 5,000 savings groups with 74,000 savers formed.

PSSN I established appropriate institutional structures for program management at national, PAA, ward and community levels. The computerized management information system (MIS) is functional; whilst beneficiaries still largely receive their transfers in cash, mechanisms for making electronic payments have been pilot tested; there is a grievance redress mechanism (GRM) in place; and the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system has demonstrated its capacity to generate timely information on inputs, outputs and results.
