TZ@60: Why Tanzania must align its local agenda with foreign policy

What you need to know:

Dealing with the new dawn would need a new kind of mindset with a new sense of urgency and a break-up with business-as-usual manner of conducting government business

The central promise in the new agenda will be inclusivity. This will be the main challenge. Because the powers that be will have to show that they really want everybody included in the economic development and wealth creation regardless of colour, tribe, religion, gender or political affiliation. The masses will have to be mobilized. Strategies will have to be made and action taken to make sure the Tanzanian middle class takes shape. Mass mobilization will definitely result in more participation of Tanzanians in their own economy and will definitely lead to policy stability and predictability. The unpredictability that has characterized Tanzania’s economic policy-making in the last three decades has been because of the impression that the economy has been under the hands of a few, mainly foreign investors, who are viewed as being only focused on maximization and repatriation of profits.
