Swahili to English: Tanzania's Independent Reporting Mechanism Progress Report 2011–2013
Source text - Swahili Countries participating in the OGP follow a process for consultation during development of their OGP action plan and during implementation.
Overall, the Tanzanian government developed its OGP plan in a participatory way. The general public had sufficient time to comment on the draft action plan. The government raised awareness of OGP through a series of television programmes called Changamoto, on the radio, and, to a lesser extent, in newspapers. However, the draft action plan was not published in Swahili, the national language, thereby limiting public participation.
Four CSOs participated in the in-person consultations. However, these organizations noted that some of their key inputs were either not taken on board or were diluted in the final 25 commitments contained in the action plan.
Translation - English Nchi zinazoshiriki katika mpango wa OGP zinafuata mchakato wa ushirikishaji wakati wa kuandaa mpango kazi na hata katika utekelezaji wake.
Kwa ujumla, serikali ya Tanzania iliandaa mpango kazi wake wa OGP kwa njia shirikishi. Wananchi walikuwa na muda wa kutosha kutoa maoni ya rasimu ya mpango kazi. Pia serikali ilifanya juhudi za kujenga uelewa juu ya mpango wa OGP kupitia mlolongo wa kipindi cha televisheni/luninga kiitwacho Changamoto, redioni, na kwa uchache zaidi, magazetini. Hata hivyo, hakukuwepo na rasimu ya mpango kazi kwa lugha ya taifa - Kiswahili, kitu kilichopunguza ushiriki.
AzaKi nne zilishiriki kwenye mashauriano na serikali. Wakati wa tathmini hii, AzaKi hizi zililalama kuwa mapendekezo kadhaa muhimu aidha hayakujumishwa au kupunguzwa makali kwenye mpango kazi wa mwisho uliochapishwa na serikali ukiwa na jumla ya maazimio 25.
