8 Government Spending


The Ministry of Finance publishes very detailed and thorough reports about planned and actual spending four times a year at: http://www.mof.go.tz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24:budget-execution-reports&catid=67:budget-execution-reports&Itemid=38F

These reports include tables of aggregated spending data but not transactional data. However this indicates that the data exists and is in digital format.

The Business Registrations and Licencing Agency (BRELA) is the government agency that has started recently to list registered companies in Tanzania. (http://www.brela.go.tz/) Previously there was a company name search feature available on its website, but this appears to have gone, and there is no other form of company data in evidence.
