Abstract

Qualitative research carried out so far by CPRC in Tanzania has thrown up three major interconnected reasons why sustained growth has not benefitted more people in Tanzania. These are: (i) the absence of protection against a high level and number of risks; (ii) the increased difficulty of accumulating assets; and (iii) the deficit in rural and agricultural growth. This policy brief examines these and then derives policy implications and a short commentary on the implementation of Mkukuta II [National Strategy for Growth and Poverty Reduction].
