• 18% of the Local Government Authorities submitted their tender notices to the Authority • 46% of the PA&oBss submitted their tender notices to the Authority • The reported contracts to the PPRA were about 62% of the collected tender notices It was not evident whether PPRA provided feedback to the PEs that complied with the reporting requirements, with an emphasis to highlight areas where they did not perform right in the preparation of annual procurement plans, tender notices, and contracts. This implies that, enforcement is not properly instituted and, lack of feedback from the Regulator to Procurement Entities may make them consider the reporting requirement as a formality and not a useful exercise. The Authorities management should ensure that compliance monitoring is enforced and a feedback mechanism instituted 6.9 Tanzania National Park 6.9.1 Under-utilization of Donor Fund TANAPA does receive funds from development partners for specialised activities such as specialised training for local staff and conducting health related activities e.g. assessing biodiversity health. However, these funds have been kept idle and are not used to implement the intended purposes. For instance there was a total amount of TZS 126.3 million from various donors as at 30 June 2008 that had not been used to send staff for specialised training programs for more than three years now.
