Consultancy Services for Business Environment Strengthening for Tanzania (BEST) - Dialogue Programme

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Danida

Within the framework of the Business Sector Programme Support Phase IV, a third phase of BEST-AC is foreseen in the name of BEST-Dialogue (2013-2019). It will operate as a basket-fund with support from a number of development partners. So far Danish International Development Assistance, Danida, and Sweden (through Swedish International Development Agency, SIDA) have expressed the interest and intentions to support the programme.
BEST Dialogue (2013-2019) will contribute to the business community's efforts to make Tanzania's business environment more conducive to sustainable private sector growth. BEST Dialogue will work with the private sector and other strategic non-state actors to complement the role of the Government of Tanzania in improving the business environment. It will help the business community to design and implement advocacy campaigns and to participate in Public private dialogue in a more informed and professional manner. Furthermore, BEST Dialogue will support a range of activities within e.g media and research that contribute to building a broader vision and consensus for private sector-led growth.
The purpose of BEST Dialogue is to improve the business environment through more inclusive and effective public-private dialogue. It will support the production of quantifiable evidence that will be used to inform advocacy and dialogue, while improving the skills and management of these processes within the business community. BEST Dialogue will bolster the efforts of Private Sector Organizations (PSOs) to engage in public discussions concerning the Tanzanian business environment and the importance of private sector-led growth.
BEST Dialogue will have four main outcomes as shown below:
1. The advocacy and Dialogue fund: BEST Dialogue will continue to provide grants to PSOs and will extend these to CSOs. Increasing attention will be given to improving the quality of the research conducted by beneficiaries and the advocacy strategies and dialogue processes that follow. The main output under this outcome area will be the grants averaging USD 40,000 and mini-grants averaging USD 5,000.
2. Capacity Building: BEST Dialogue will intensify the non-financial support provided to its grant recipients and partners, through the provision of a three-tiered suite of support services designed to make PSOs more capable, credible and sustainable.
3. Communications and Media: In an effort to support a broader vision for reform across the business community and to encourage greater public debate on the importance of sustainable, private sector-led growth, BEST Dialogue will work with the media, journalists, and members of Parliament, in collaboration with its private sector and civil society partners.
4. Research and Knowledge Management: In order to ensure its impact is greater than the sum of its funded projects, BEST Dialogue will undertake a series of activities designed to strategically link and synthesise the research that it funds and will support the development of skills and coalitions that can be used to stimulate and guide reform processes.
The Consultant will be responsible for the effective implementation of the BEST-Dialogue Programme.
The contract is expected to commence December 2013.
The award of contract is subject to the final approval of the programme by the relevant authorities.
Please note, that if the winning bid is a company established outside Tanzania and has no presence in Tanzania, the Companies Act of Tanzania requires that it must register a branch within 30 days of its presence in Tanzania or establish a local company.
