Utz, Robert J.2012-06-012012-06-012007https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6894This book is designed to contribute to the government's thinking on how best to translate broad MKUKUTA (the government of Tanzania's National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty) policy objectives into practical tactics and programs well suited to Tanzania's economic priorities and to the removal of key institutional and infrastructure bottlenecks. The book aims to respond to three fundamental questions: (a) what factors explain Tanzania's recent acceleration in economic growth, (b) how well has the accelerated growth translated into reduced poverty, and (c) what needs to be done to sustain growth that is also pro-poor. This book focuses on three issues that are central to the success of Tanzania's poverty reduction efforts: What factors explain Tanzania's recent acceleration in economic growth? Has the accelerated economic growth translated into reduced poverty? What must be done to sustain economic growth that is pro-poor? The book presents evidence from the macroeconomic, sectoral, firm, and household levels that shed light on these questions. In addition, the book examines the effectiveness of measures that support the poor in efforts to accumulate human and physical capital, which would enhance their prospects of contributing to economic growth. Finally, it is important to mention that this book is a compilation of chapters written by authors from the African Development Bank (Peter Mwanakatwe), COWI Consultants (Kerstin Pfliegner), independent consultancies (Marianne Simonsen and Annabella Skof), and the World Bank (Jean-Eric Aubert, Vandana Chandra, Louise Fox, Henry Gordon, Johannes Hoogeveen, Pooja Kacker, Ying Li, Allister Moon, Philip Mpango, Ravi Ruparel, Anuja Utz, Robert J. Utz, and Michael Wong).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONADULT LITERACYAGGREGATE LEVELAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYANNUAL GROWTH RATEAVERAGE GROWTHAVERAGE GROWTH RATECAPITAL ACCUMULATIONCHILD HEALTHCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPARATOR COUNTRIESCOMPETITIVE EXCHANGECOMPETITIVE EXCHANGE RATEDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVESDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDISABILITYDISEASESDISSEMINATIONDISTRIBUTIONAL IMPACTDIVERSIFICATIONDOMESTIC CREDITECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC POLICYEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE RATESEXPORT TAXESEXTERNAL SHOCKSFAMILY SIZEFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL SECTORFOOD SECURITYFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFUTURE GROWTHGENDER DIFFERENCESGINI COEFFICIENTGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT CAPACITYGOVERNMENT POLICIESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEGROWTH PERFORMANCEGROWTH POLICIESGROWTH PRO-POORGROWTH PROCESSGROWTH PROSPECTSGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHEALTH CAREHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH SERVICESHIVHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTINCOME GROUPSINCOME GROWTHINDIVIDUAL WOMENINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFORMAL ECONOMYINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYLABOR FORCELAND REFORMLEGAL STATUSLIMITED PROSPECTSLITERACY RATESLIVE BIRTHSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL INFRASTRUCTURELOW INFLATIONMACROECONOMIC POLICIESMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMACROECONOMIC STABILIZATIONMARKET ECONOMYMATERNAL MORTALITYMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMONETARY POLICIESMORTALITYMORTALITY RATENATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL STRATEGYNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUTRITIONNUTRITIONAL STATUSPER CAPITA EXPENDITUREPER CAPITA GROWTHPER CAPITA INCOMESPOLICY FORMULATIONPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY STANCEPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR PEOPLEPOPULATION DYNAMICSPOPULATION GROWTHPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION GOALSPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRICE STABILITYPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRO-POORPROGRESSPROMOTING GROWTHPUBLIC DEMANDPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SUPPORTQUALITY EDUCATIONRAPID GROWTHRATES OF POPULATIONREAL INCOMESREAL INTEREST RATESREDUCED POVERTYREDUCING POVERTYREFORM EFFORTSREFORM PROGRAMREFORM PROGRAMSREGIONAL AGREEMENTSREGIONAL DISTRIBUTIONREGIONAL POLICYREGIONAL POPULATIONREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSRENEWABLE RESOURCESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE USERESPECTRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL GROWTHRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL POORRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYSAFETY NETSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSSECTOR ACTIVITIESSECTOR REFORMSSERVICE DELIVERYSIGNIFICANT EFFECTSKILLED LABORSMALLHOLDERSSOCIAL EXPENDITURESSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RESEARCHSOCIAL RETURNSSOCIAL SECTORSOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL SERVICESOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL STRESSSTATE-OWNED ENTERPRISESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTERTIARY EDUCATIONTOLERANCETRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGYTRANSPORTATIONURBAN AREASURBAN BIASURBAN CENTERSURBAN GROWTHVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/6894
