Live views from the Tanzania Budget Dashboard
The FedhaFlow dashboard brings together key figures, charts, tables and maps for Tanzania's National Budget across three pillars: revenue, recurrent and development allocations.
- Revenue – where money is collected to fund government activities.
- Recurrent – ongoing costs like salaries, utilities and supplies.
- Development – one-off and project spending, including FYDP flagship projects.
To read the dashboard properly, it helps to understand the three levels it uses to organise the data: Vote (MDA & regional/RAS votes), Sub-Vote and Description. The sections below walk through what each level tells you.
Use this view to see the big picture by institution.
- What you see: Totals for each MDA vote (ministries, departments and agencies) and regional/RAS vote.
- Revenue: Understand where revenue is collected across MDAs and regions.
- Recurrent & Development allocations: See where funds are budgeted to be spent across sectors and regions at the vote level.
Use this view to see the main priority areas under each vote.
- What you see: Key departments or programmes within a vote (for example, Customs, Domestic Revenue, Infrastructure Development, Higher Education).
- Revenue: See the priority areas of collection within each vote.
- Recurrent & Development allocations: See the priority areas of spending within each MDA or region.
Use this view to see specific line items and interventions.
- What you see (Revenue): Detailed types of revenue such as customs duties, VAT, government securities and local government own-source revenues.
- What you see (Allocations): Named initiatives, projects and interventions funded under each sub-vote, such as student loans, medicines and health commodities, agricultural programmes or flagship infrastructure projects.
Together, the Vote, Sub-Vote and Description views give you a clear picture of how revenue, recurrent and development budgets are structured—and where Tanzania's spending priorities actually sit.
