According
to the BBC Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world. However from
1993 to 2004, Tanzania improved their HDI by 0.1 from 0.3 to 0.4, which means
that change is happening. The conditions in Tanzania are still not near optimal
but the positive thing is that they are changing. In addition is it very
construction that the World Bank is so optimistic about the future of Tanzania,
and that there has already been many improvements but there are more to come. The
thing that is still worrying is the level of corruption in Tanzania, it is not
only the government where there have even been doubt about rigged elections but
also other public sector jobs such as teachers and doctors. This mean that it
will still be the ones who have more money who will have the power but what
would be ideal is if the corruption level went down so that the country could
get a better hold of the economy and maybe even one day get completely out of
poverty.
The
shocking thing was that even though Tanzania seems like an established African
country the conditions are still so low and the percentage of people below the
poverty line were completely outrages.
In addition it seems like the country really needs to work on the
infrastructure as one of the factor in order to become more developed. However
as mentioned this have improved and the fact is that things don’t change over
night therefore it is possible that if Tanzania keeps going in the same
direction is might reach it’s full potential.
To conclude
Tanzania is without doubt a poor country but change and development is
happening, a lot with help and aid from other countries. The term developing
country is what describes Tanzania the best because it is indeed developing.
