What We Do

Driving Policy Change & Accountability

WAJIBU’s Strategic Plan focuses on advancing Public Financial Accountability (PFA) through a comprehensive Theory of Change that guides the organization’s advocacy, research, and engagement efforts. This approach supports the achievement of meaningful policy and governance outcomes by strengthening transparency, accountability, and inclusive participation in economic and public financial systems.

The strategy is anchored in key strategic objectives that guide WAJIBU’s programs and Annual Operational Plans. These objectives ensure the delivery of impactful initiatives that strengthen accountability actors, promote equitable economic policies, and enhance sustainable management of public resources.

Through this framework, WAJIBU addresses governance and economic policy challenges in Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar by promoting transparent public financial management, equitable trade and tax policies, and stronger institutional mechanisms for civic engagement in sustainable public procurement.
