  • NGOs to Sue Government Over CDF

    Tanzanian NGOs have announced that they will sue the government should it still introduce the Constituency Development Fund (CDF)

    Tanzanian NGOs have announced that they will sue the country’s government should it go ahead in introducing the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).

    Representatives of several NGOs are asking the government to also shelve the plan to channel the funds through local authorities if MPs will still be allowed to control them.

    The Policy Forum members said the CDF has been wrongly mooted and planned, and will therefore be difficult to implement.
