Accountability in Tanzania Programme (AcT2) Accountability in Tanzania Phase Two (AcT2) Programme is a five year £38m, innovative and exciting programme whose purpose is to increase the responsiveness and accountability of Government in Tanzania, through a strengthened civil society. AcT2 seeks to support civil society organisations (CSOs) to implement context-specific strategic interventions that will enable them to influence positive change in the attitudes and behaviour of citizens, civil society and government, making government as a whole more responsive and accountable. The second phase started in February 2018 and will end in December 2022. The programme funds mid-to-large sized Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and is managed by KPMG Advisory Limited in Tanzania. The programme works with CSO partners supporting Tanzanian citizens to engage with and hold their government to account. This is crucial to fostering a well-functioning state that acts in the best interests of its people - in tackling corruption, efficient spending of public resources and delivering effective public services. The Tanzanian President has made anti-corruption his top priority. AcT2 partners seeks to deploy different tools and resources to equip citizens to challenge corruption rather than accept it. AcT2 programme underlines the need to bolster groups that can continue to champion pluralism, articulate the demands of citizens, and engage in constructive debate and negotiation with government. As an integrated and cohesive civil society offer, AcT2 enables DFID to deliver greater impact from our wider portfolio priorities in human development and sustainable growth teams and promoting democratic space. It will do this through focusing on governance blockages in these areas, with a focus on promoting accountability and social inclusion, especially focusing on gender, disability and youth/elderly groups. The programme has ambition to deploy different innovative approaches including policy research, advocacy, dialogue, experimentation, and brokering, and it will work with civil society, private sector actors, elected officials and faith-based groups. The four thematic priorities for the programme includes: • Civic Space (sector policy dialogues, media, voice, CS advocacy, human rights) • Social Inclusion (disability, women, girls and youth/elderly) • Anti-Corruption • Climate Change

DCAF's International Security Sector Advisory Team (ISSAT) The International Security Sector Advisory Team (ISSAT) was officially created within DCAF – the Centre for Security Sector Governance on 8 February 2008. It is one of DCAF’s four departments and forms part of the multi-dimensional approach that DCAF has supporting Security Sector Governance.

ISSAT was set up in recognition of the need to increase the capacity of the international community to support Security Sector Governance/Reform (SSG/R) processes, to enhance the effectiveness and quality of SSG/R activities, and to facilitate the coordination and coherence of the international community’s support for nationally driven SSR procedures. ISSAT works with 23  - 16 bilateral and 7 multi-lateral partners. The core partners (these include Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, and UK).  Multilateral partners include the African Union, the European Union, OECD, OSCE, the United Nations. These partners are our principal collaborators. ISSAT's advisory services, outreach and knowledge products and professional development and training offerings are catered to the needs and demands of these partners. ISSAT’s goal is to reinforce and improve the way in which our GBMs individually and collectively support S&J development. Given the diversity of our GBMs’ needs, we achieve our operational goal through tailored individual assistance, as well as facilitating better coordinated approaches between and within GBMs through maximising our convening power and partnerships across our GBMs. This is provided across a range of advisory, professional development and training, and knowledge and outreach services ISSAT provides an annual narrative and financial report to members of its pool fund mechanism (Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK) reporting against the ISSAT Strategic Results framework. Strongly committed to a One DCAF approach, ISSAT aligns with and reports against DCAF’s overall Strategy, specifically contributing to objectives (2) assist international actors in developing and implementing their SSG/R support policies and programmes and (3) contribute to international policy development through applied policy research and by transferring knowledge that facilitates the development of norms, standards, and good practices related to SSG/R.
Linking Good Security Sector Governance to SDG 16 The 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) offer enormous transformative potential. The Agenda has firm and established links with other global agendas and frameworks, such as the Sustaining Peace agenda to prevent violent conflict, and it has galvanized international structures and states to converge around the common purpose of sustainable development. Intrinsic to the 2030 Agenda is the recognition of security as an enabler of development as well as good governance principles imperative for the achievement of SDG16. SDG16 aims to promote peaceful, just, and inclusive societies by building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions through targets 16.6 and 16.7, which seek to strengthen good governance and accountability of public institutions. However, current implementation means lack an evidence base, robust reporting and assessment indicators, and insufficient attention toward the value of security sector governance (SSG) as a tool for realising the SDG16 targets. 1.	Position SSG as a powerful policy tool at the national and international levels for realising SDG16, and in particular targets 16.6 and 16.7, which is a critical goal of the entire 2030 Agenda 
2.	Establish the linkage between oversight actors of the security sector and their contribution to good governance and accountability, within the context of SDG16, as well as providing these actors with the means to realign their strategic priorities with the 2030 Agenda. 
3.	Develop SDG16-specific guidance that supports states in the implementation of the 2030 agenda and its subsequent reporting. This project seeks to target key stakeholders at two levels:
1.	Those working at the global level, such as United Nations officials working on the 2030 Agenda, but also other actors working within the realm of development, security and human rights including donor organisations, think tanks, and development agencies.
2.	Those working at the state level, especially in the Global South and in fragile contexts. However, given that the 2030 Agenda and SSG are both cross-sectoral initiatives, this project will seek to engage more specifically with state-based actors such as:
a.	Policy makers in the development sector 
b.	Policy makers in the security sector, and
c.	National oversight bodies.
The above target audiences will also mutually reinforce one another. State level actors will provide evidence and expertise to global actors, who will impart international good practice to other state’s actors. In addition, policy recommendations garnered from the project’s outputs disseminated across target audiences on a national level will mutually reinforce one another – policy makers that inform and develop policy on their country strategies and operational programmes will be monitored and reported on by oversight bodies.
Enhancing SSG/R Policy & Practice The Enhancing SSG/R Policy & Practice project is designed to support the Government of the Netherlands in identifying and responding to new developments in the field of SSG/R and designing and implementing evidence-based SSG/R programmes. Specifically, the project will focus on three pillars: •Shaping policy by using specific country examples or case studies to analyse pathways for change and innovative approaches to overcoming common challenges in different contexts. •Strengthening approaches to monitoring, evaluating and learning from SSG/R programmes. •Responding to emerging security needs, for example through conducting in-country scoping and assessment missions.
