| Uwazi
The share of the education budget that is allocated to primary and secondary education has declined in recent years. Analysis by Uwazi suggests that besides this, schools rarely receive the resources that are transferred from the central government in full and on time. Rural and community schools suffer disproportionately from inadequacy of resources for learning which often is reflected in poor performance in examinations.

The capitation grant for primary education is too little to buy a minimum set of books for a pupil; has declined in value by more than 35 percent since it was introduced in 2002; and is not administered according to policy. Analysis done by Uwazi at Twaweza suggests that the capitation grant system today needs a significant overhaul before it can make a difference in education.

When school inspection doesn't deliver
How effective is the system for school inspections at safeguarding the quality of instruction in Tanzania? Prompted by massive failures of students in mathematics and science subjects in recent years, the Controller and Auditor General audited the secondary schools' Inspectorate Programme during 2008.
The key finding from the audit, as revealed in a policy brief prepared by Uwazi, is that the system established for inspection of Secondary Schools in Tanzania is functioning poorly and fails to safeguard quality of instruction and its improvement.
