UNIDO, ILO, ITC and UNCTAD are the implementing agencies, while the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is the administrative agent.
The first phase of a similar project that started in 2009 in Lao PDR will be concluded by December this year. As in the case of Lao PDR, a Cluster Coordinator based at the Ministry of Trade and Industry in Dar-es-Salaam ensures the participation of Governmental and business stakeholders at all stages of this operation.
For this purpose, Ms. Manuela Tortora, Chief of Technical Cooperation of UNCTAD, headed a mission of the Cluster to Dar-es-Salaam to hold consultations with Ministries, business associations and donors.
Coordination with the One UN and the Enhanced Integrated Framework processes is being established.
