Interested institutions MUST apply as a consortium comprised of a research firm and a law firm, and MUST have experience of working with regional and international research organizations.
The scope of work:
- Review and diagnostic of current, major strengths and challenges facing entrepreneurs which are caused and brought by the existing Tanzania policies, legal and legislative frameworks that could potentially be addressed through realistic (legislative) reforms.
- A benchmark of selected recent African Startup acts (Tunisia & Senegal) and Kenya’s startup bill to develop a clear understanding of Tanzania’s legislative framework, comparative strengths and weaknesses and its potentials for reform.
- A set of tangible, feasible and clear recommendations and best practices for legislative reforms and further dialogue around design and implementation for policy makers and the general ecosystem stakeholders.
- A comprehensive, well presented, and documented report clearly combining the deliverables above.
