For English PRESS RELEASE Independent Review Panel (IRP): BRN Best Practice For Transformational Change In The Way Government Operates Dar es Salaam, Tuesday, 16 January 2015 At a public briefing today, the Independent Review Panel (IRP) said the BRN programme represents a key effort in putting in place a best practice system for a transformational change in the way the government operates. H.E. Festus Mogae, former President of the Republic of Botswana read a statement, representing the Independent Review Panel after concluding the first year review of the BRN programme. In reviewing progress in the first year, the IRP noted that the six National Key Results Areas (NKRAs) made commendable progress in the key initiatives outlined in the first year and appreciated the frankness with which some of the weaknesses of the programme were discussed. They also recognised that while the programme has only been in operation for little more than a year, a lot of start-up issues faced should not be allowed to undermine continued implementation. Recommendations were provided by the Panel in addressing these weaknesses. The Panel emphasised that it is critical to sustain the BRN programme and for future Governments to continue its support, in order to realise its full impact. “BRN offers the opportunity over time to bring about fundamental improvements in the development programme in Tanzania,” adds H.E. Mogae. Ministers of the six NKRAs)presented their first year achievements and challenges yesterday, followed by a rigorous question and answer session with the IRP members.
