This Bill intends to introduce the Tanzania Extractive Industries, Transparency and Accountability Act, for the purpose of establishing  the Extractive Industries, Transparency and Accountability Committee whose prime duty is to ensure that there is transparency and accountability in extractive industry. In securing transparency and accountability of extractive industries, this Bill responds to challenges faced by the Government in managing extractive industries including low contribution of the industry to the National Growth Domestic Product (GDP) as compared to the sector growth, inadequate capacity of the Government institutions in administering the sectors, lack of transparency in disclosing information relating to the investment of extractive industries and revenues accrued from natural resources extraction.
