The Tanzanian government has refuted media reports claiming that a European Parliament vote has suspended funding for a €156 million partnership program. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation clarified that the vote is part of internal EU procedures and does not represent a final decision. The resolution calls for a review and resubmission of the program, which remains subject to ongoing consultations. Officials emphasized that the majority of the funds are not disbursed directly to government systems but are implemented through EU institutions and external partners. The government expressed disappointment that the resolution did not fully reflect explanations provided regarding reforms and measures taken. Any changes to funding arrangements require mutual consultation and formal agreement.
Misinformation regarding international funding can create uncertainty; clear communication from governments is vital.
