Aid and Environment in Africa: The Case of Tanzania

No wp-2014-077, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: This paper provides an assessment of what aid has actually been doing in the area of environment in Tanzania through a critical review of the flows, modalities and management of aid. Focusing on the funding for environmental degradation projects, the study notes that budget expenditure allocation to these activities is around 0.04 per cent of Tanzania's total expenditure. This is a problem given that in the near future financing for climate change alone would need around US$1 billion per year (or nearly 10 per cent of the budget).
