PREFACE
Statement of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees
Conservation in Tanzanian National Parks is the
main thrust of the organization as clearly stated by
law. In order to manage the parks efficiently and
effectively, a timely review of key strategic
decisions is important. During the implementation
of the previous Corporate Strategic Plan (CSP) of
2001 – 2006, the Board of Trustees embarked on
fundamental decisions that aimed at transforming the
organization towards improved resource management and optimal
revenue generation.
The new CSP 2008/09 -2012/13 emphasizes on the organization’s
mandate, of conservation, which is in line with the National
Development Vision 2025. The vision underscores the importance of
conservation of our national heritage. The CSP also puts a special
emphasis for TANAPA on contributing to poverty reduction, as
stipulated in the National Strategy on Growth and Reduction of Poverty
(NSGRP – MKUKUTA). The Board is therefore determined to promote
tourism significantly as a mechanism of not only generating funds for
conservation purposes, but also contributing to poverty reduction. The
institution has been supporting community social projects and in this
new CSP, efforts will be made to enhance its collaboration with
adjacent communities.
The Board is aware of the turbulent economic, technological and
political environment in which the organization is operating, thus a
need for frequent review of its strategies. The Board of Trustees is
convinced that, this CSP’s vision, which is “to be the highest globally
rated institution in sustainable conservation and provision of
exceptional tourism services”, will be attained significantly within the
planned five years.Therefore, the Board of Trustees commits itself to
give the management total support to implement this CSP.
