PS3+ works with regional and local government authority (LGA) systems across sectors to promote the delivery of quality essential services, equity and responsiveness, transparency and accountability, and facility autonomy to raise and allocate resources. This efforts support Tanzania’s journey to self-reliance.

Among government priorities supported by PS3+ is the strengthening of public financial management (PFM) systems used by Local Government Authorities, frontline service providers and lower-level governments to ensure prudence in the use of public funds. PS3+ supports the GOT to improve efficiency in revenue collection, planning and budgeting and expenditure management across these different levels of government. The PS3+ project is also designed to institutionalize and build the capacity and commitment of GOT partners to ensure sustained use of these strengthened systems beyond the life of the project.
