Promoting Private Sector Development in Tanzania
The four-year USAID-funded Private Enterprise Support Activity (PESA) was implemented by Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI) under the Rural and Agricultural Incomes with a Sustainable Environment (RAISE) project. As a subcontractor to DAI, Abt Associates provided a long-term technical advisor (project coordinator) for PESA. The project was tasked with fulfilling USAID/Tanzania Mission strategic objective 9 — to increase micro- and small enterprises (MSE) participation in the economy — and was implemented through seven operative activity areas:
- Strengthening Business Associations
- Promoting Public-Private Sector Policy Dialogue
- Strengthening Capacity of Selected Government Agencies
- Establishing Market Linkages for Private Enterprise
- Making Business and Market Information Available
- Increasing Business and Entrepreneurial Skills
- The PESA Results Tracking System (including those of SO9 partners)
- Facilitating integrated subsector development around critical mass agricultural commodity production areas
- Contributing to the improvement of policy and an enabling environment for private enterprise development
