Tanzania
This information comes from the assessment conducted in country for the Tanzania report, which was published in February 2008.
In just 15 years, Tanzania has emerged from the constraints of government control, centralization, and predominance of the state in all economic affairs, to a new emphasis on the free market and private sector-led growth. From the re-invention of agricultural cooperatives and other producer associations, to pro-investment law reform strategies, to proactive engagement of the private sector in updating its infrastructure, Tanzania has made a series of important choices that grant more freedoms and opportunities to actors throughout the economy.
