  1. THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE REGIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT Village Travel and Transport Programme (VTTP)

  2. Institutional Framework • National Rollout of VTTP

  3. Background and Context • The Village Travel and Transport Programme (VTTP) was formulated and started on pilot in 1992 under the initiative of the World Bank under the sponsorship of the Rural Travel and Transport Programme (RTTP). • By 2006 the VTTP has been through Pilot Phases in 7 districts with funding from various Development Partners Background and Context

  4. Background and Context • Government decided to expand the concept country wide • The present VTTP is now part of the Local Government Transport Programme (LGTP) the framework for all transport projects within the local government system. • FY 2008/09 will cover 55 Councils with a budget of TShs. 1,865 million

  5. Philosophy and Objectives • Conception, Identification and Implementation are based on self help initiatives existing within the community • Pace of the programme depends very much on community's own trust and willingness to participate and contribute to implementation Background and Context

  6. Philosophy • Community should decide on nature and priority of transport interventions • Community should provide labour and local available materials • Government will limit their inputs to technical support and provision of materials not locally available • Government will ensure availability of dedicated fund

  7. Objectives • Make sustainable improvements in the rural transport systems in all selected villages • Reduce the time and effort households' spend on transport activities • Develop effective approach and method for design and implementation to be applied country wide. • Empower communities to build capacity in development and maintenance of their infrastructure

  8. National Policies and Strategies • Local Government have been established under the Constitution to empower communities, enable them to plan and implement their development activities • The National Transport Policy and the Rural Development Policy recognizes that 75% of the country’s population live in rural areas and engaged in subsistence agriculture which is the back bone of the nation’s development for the foreseeable future.

  9. National Policies and Strategies • The Rural Development Strategy and the National Strategy Growth and Poverty Reduction (NSGPR) both recognize that rural isolation is a major element in the existing poverty situation • Therefore stresses the importance of developing transport to satisfy the requirements of rural inhabitants • Promote investment and ownership of the transport equipment/ aid at the household level (IMTs)

  10. The Roads Act 2007 • The road authority for District Roads falls under the 132 Local Government Authorities • District roads are: a) Collector Roads, b) Feeder Roads and c) Community Roads • Community Roads has no funding source for its development and maintenance

  11. National Roll Out of VTTP The Neighbouring Approach • Under this arrangement, all the districts surrounding pilot districts are now consider for VTTP implementation. It is easier for the new district to learn for its neighbor. Both communities and district staff can easily travel to pilot Districts and learn and go back to their districts to implement VTTP activities.

  12. National Roll Out of VTTP Selecting on Zonal basis, Poverty Head Count • Selecting of new district to secure good coverage nation wide under this arrangement is based on priority given to districts with the highest number of people living under the poverty line. The poverty head count i.e. the district with highest number of poor people is ranked first.

  13. Coordination and Management National Level • PMO-RALG's Strategic Plans, Activity and Budgets incorporating LGTP-VTTP into MTEF Plans, Votes and Codes at PMO-RALG and Council Level.

  14. Coordination and Management District Level • To Access the allocated funds DED will appoint a VTTP Coordinator. • This staff will be from works or community development department and not paid extra salary.

  15. Coordination and Management Ward and Village Level • Village Council • VTTP Committee • Gang leaders

  16. Identification of VTTPs • At District level, a Ward is identified with most of the population isolated, without reliable access. • At Ward Level, Villages are identified from those being isolated, without access. • At Village level, Interventions are identified and prioritised to improve access.

  17. Planning • VTTP Village communities will commit to their obligations: • Identification, prioritisation, management, implementation as well as maintenance • VTTP plans to be approved by Village assembly. • Submitted through Ward Development Committee to District Council.

  18. Possible Access Intervention • Bridges, Culverts and Drifts. • Community roads and foot paths. • Foot bridges and steps/ stairs. • Landing sites and jetties.

  19. Community Contribution • Local available materials. • Labour.

  20. What can be Financed from VTTP Budget? • Sensitisation/ workshops and meetings • Training of Community Gang Leaders. • Promotion of IMTs to ease transport problems. • Critical needed items for construction works ( cement, culvert pipes, timber etc). • Hand tool for implementation by the community. • Equipment hiring for transportation and compaction.

  22. What can be Financed from VTTP Budget • Transportation cost

  23. What can be Financed from VTTP Budget • Equipment rent
