81268510-Consulting Service to Support Internal Audit System

The positive trend in the development of the public finance system in Tanzania over the last few years is largely attributed to the Public Financial Management Reform Programme (PFMRP) of the Government of Tanzania. Its ambitious goals however contrast with the capacity available for actually transforming the system. The public finance system in Tanzania falls short of good financial governance principles, specifically with regard to transparency, efficiency and accountability. The Good Financial Governance II (GFG II) programme is a technical assistance programme implemented by GIZ. It is funded by the German Federal Government as well as the Swiss Government (a co-funding arrangement with the European Union Delegation is under preparation).The programme objective of GFG II is to strengthen the public finance system in accordance with the principles of good financial governance, specifically transparency, efficiency and accountability. The services procured through this tender relate to the second out of four Fields of Action (FoA), focused on strengthening the internal audit function across the Tanzanian public sector. The successful bidder assumes responsibility for implementing this FoA, which encompasses the achievement of the corresponding outcome and output indicators entailed in the results matrix/logical framework.
