1964 – Five Year Plan July 1964 to June 1969

Set out clear and ambitious plans for structural change in the economy, including:
•A new “transformational” approach to agricultural - high returns on a set of new managed village settlements (60 in five years each with 250 individual farms – financed using some public funds). A SIX-fold increase in cash incomes of settlement families was anticipated.
•Clear targets to greatly increase the contribution of industrial activities (including processing, mining and construction). 13% in early 1960 to target of 19% by 1970 and to 27% by 1980
•In mining: improved geological mapping entrusted to foreign specialists combined with a planned significant increase in diamond production and subsidies for gold mining “in the expectation of new discoveries
Clear recognition by Dr. Nyerere of a capital constraint - through 1965

Feb 1965 – opening the £5 million ENI oil refinery in Dar, he said,
“none of this £5 million has to be found by the Government of Tanzania. This oil refinery is being financed, constructed, and will be run by a private Company: it is a private investment such as we have called for in the national Five Year Development Plan………On this basis of mutual benefit we in the United Republic of Tanzania welcome private investment in this, and in other fields.”
Also village settlement schemes based on the clear assumption that new settlements would be commercial enterprises – farmers beginning loan repayments in year 3 of each scheme – continuing for up to 25 years. In sisal technical support from established large farms
ODM and the December 1965 Ross Report
Mission fielded in response to Nyerere’s concerns that the new 5year plan was already experiencing major difficulties.
The general finding was that the manpower and organisational systems of the Tanzania government at that time simple could not cope with the huge management tasks and transformational ambitions that were implied by the programmes of the Plan.
It was discovered that the whole agricultural transformation planning had been based on a 20 day working visit of an Israeli expert in “physical layout” not agriculture in April 1963 !
Professors Len Joy and Peter Worsley above all noted …”the present Village Settlement programme has already run into very severe difficulties. These are largely the result of initiating too many projects too quickly with inadequate advance economic planning of their economic and agricultural implications. There is a real risk that the whole transformational approach will break down”
Ujaama: February 1967
www.icmm.com
The Arusha Declaration, Ujaama and events that followed after February 1967 had many effects TWO to note in today’s context:
1.They reversed Nyerere’s previously benign recognition of the importance of private capital as a potential partner with government in addressing Tanzania’s chronic shortages of (i) capital and (ii) capacity. The contributions to development from this source were effectively lost for 30 years2.The ideological determination of policy drove ahead actions that were very highly unlikely to bear good results given the serious organisational limitations of the government system in the country in the 1960s and 1970s
Example 1: Bank nationalisation in April 1967 (Barclays, Grindlays, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda) folded into the new National Bank of Commerce. Result – stagnant financial system - gradual decline in effectiveness and capacity culminating in the effective bankruptcy of both the NBC and the Cooperative Bank in the early 1990s – now resurrected with significant private capital
Example 2: 800 or so Ujaama collective village settlements by end of the 1960s; by the end of the 70s (once compulsion was introduced) there were over 2,500 of these 'villages‘ versus the 60 planned for (but not very well) in the 1964 plan. Result: Agricultural Productivity halved !

Is this mining boom a Good Development?
Some Simple Answers and some more Complex Ones
Simple answer: The Tanzanian people have fared much better since the 1996 reforms (including of mining) than in most other periods of post-Independence history

Complex answer (1)
www.icmm.com
Government has so far seen quite modest levels of tax and other revenues from the mining boom- a point stressed by advocacy NGOs (e.g. Golden Opportunity Report 2008 refers to only $28 million of taxes and royalties per annum)
Annual Revenue totals by 2007 = $85 million versus Production value of $860 million (<10%)
But move on a few more years (Source: OPM study-2008)

Total revenues rise from $85 million in 2007 to a peak of $284 million by 2017 (7% or more of total government tax revenues) . By about 2015 the Corporation tax becomes the most important source of mineral tax

Tanzania is a high cost environment
www.icmm.com
Poor infrastructure linkage to ports
• Cost of $4,000 to bring cargo from the Dar port to Kahama, to move the same volume by rail used to cost $2,500
Inconsistent energy supply
• Companies need to generate much of their won electricity
So the 57% production cost share underestimates the true cost in Tanzania
AND
The 7% share of “sustaining investment is critical to continuing the positive trends seen to date – without this production and export levels would fall quickly
Complex answer (2) – why judge “fairness” narrowly in terms of Government Revenue? Source : Chamber of Mines

African Mining Initiative
The Way Forward – recent African ideas…
• Integrate the mining sector with the national economy and society - away from mining enclaves
• Harness extractive resources for growth, poverty reduction and social development
• Take advantage of the policy space created by high commodity prices
• Adopt a developmental approach to mineral sector development
• African policymakers in charge of transforming mineral resource management
• Good governance is critical - build on improvements in governance already made (e.g. APRM)
• Create linkages along the value chain

In Tanzania – The Bomani Report (2008/9) 1. A More Integrated Approach – involving the other main agencies of
Government
See for example, Bomani - recommendations 2.1;2.3; 2.16; 2.17.
This broad direction of reform is vital if the FULL benefits of the mining sector are to be realised. It relates above all to local procurement, to regional economic development planning, and to revenue management (especially at local level)
Efforts
• to provide improved infrastructure support to mining (2.1)
• to establish more systematic monitoring of the sector via a new Minerals Authority (2.3.10)
• to achieve broader strategies for encouraging local procurement (2.16)
• to develop lower cost energy supplies (2.17) and
• To decentralise some revenues to local levels
will ALL help to incentivise the new mining investments that are needed in the next few years.
2. Improved Fiscal Arrangements
Detailed recommendations on all the main mining taxes are in the Bomani recommendations of section 2.5. On-going discussions through 2010 on the details with the companies especially re the removal of special Capital Allowances; royalties on a net basis; reduction of fuel duty exemptions etc. Some are now actioned.
TWO higher level points
• TRANSPARENCY. Tanzanian participation in the EITI will address many of the complaints about lack of transparency, incomplete adherence to tax rules etc. The initial 2011 Tanzanian EITI Report found a 30% discrepancy between what the companies report paying and what the government reports receiving. Extend this to transparent reporting of the USES of the funds and the publication of the Mining Agreements (MDAs)
• EFFICIENT TAXATION. The “royalty” is a poor tax that can have large disincentive effects. Rather than increase the rate of royalty as proposed, eliminate the net basis but after that the authorities may be better advised to tighten the Corporation Tax rules. As we have seen very large tax revenues will in any case accrue from this source in a few years time
3. More Help to Local Communities
• Recommendations contained in Bomani - 2.1, 2.5.10,2.6, 2.8. 2.9,2.11, 2.12, 2.16 can all help in different ways to achieve this objective
• Above all it is critical to help build complementary activities (mining clusters) that can add to the relatively limited direct employment from the mines themselves
• But a very considerable effort to build new partnerships around these ideas will be called for.
• It is hoped that a further stage of the Resource Endowment Initiative that has so far supported our own work on Tanzania can probe these issues more carefully
Tanzania – limited collective action so far – but huge potential
