The training, conducted by the Tanzania Coalition on Debt and Development (TCDD) and AFRODAD, addressed public debt sustainability, the role of Parliament in oversight, and the complexities of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). Key recommendations included improving the business environment to reduce external borrowing, enhancing tax collection from online businesses, and urging Members of Parliament to exercise their powers under the Loans Act No.34 of 1974 to hold the government accountable.

• The training identified several challenges regarding Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), noting that they are complex transactions requiring more preparation and oversight than traditional procurement, which can lead to higher costs. It further argued that PPPs are not a universal solution for social service delivery during budget constraints and require careful local analysis.
• Participants recommended that the government reduce its reliance on external borrowing by improving the business environment to increase private sector revenue and expanding exports to improve the balance of payment and foreign currency stocks.
• There is a call for the government to modernize technology to better tax online businesses and for Members of Parliament to use their authority under the Loans Act No.34 of 1974 to monitor government spending and ensure funds from loans and grants are used for their intended purposes.
