Abstract: Abstract In recent years, Tanzania has been lauded by the international development community for its commitment to an ambitious program of economic reforms, resulting in strong growth and low inflation (IMF, 2004). Due to these structural reforms, the country’s economic growth has increasingly been driven by higher productivity, which should assure that its growth path is more sustainable over the medium term. In addition, Tanzania’s economic growth and poverty alleviation strategy have resulted in a significant decline of poverty since the mid-1990s, thereby making the country’s prospects of attaining its poverty reduction objectives for 2015 quite favorable (Treichel, 2005).
