Paper short abstract:
This paper analyze the climate change adaptation relevance of the Tanzanian national budget (from 2014 to 2021), using the same methodology applied in a previous study (Yanda et al 2013). The study further assess the degree to which climate change adaptation finance is devolved to local government.
Paper long abstract:
In Tanzania, climate change adaptation is financed by international development assistance and by nationally generated revenue. While international development assistance is registered by OECD and climate change adaptation relevance tagged by donors, the proportion of the nationally generated revenue that is climate change adaptation relevant is unknown. This paper analyze the climate change adaptation relevance of the national budget (from 2014 to 2021), using the same methodology applied in a previous study (Yanda et al 2013). The study further assess the degree to which climate change adaptation finance is devolved to local government.
The study finds that a dis-appropriately high proportion of climate adaptation finance is used at central government levels, because of priority setting being made at the ministry level. The study moreover finds that local governments lack discretion over climate change adaptation finance due to the country's highly centralized policies, practices and procedures. Qualitative fieldwork indicate that nearly all climate change finance accessed by local government comes with a central government tag (directives) on how to use it.
