Poverty and Human Development Report 2011

This year’s report explores the interplay between economic growth, productive employment and poverty reduction to identify policy options that can make future growth in Tanzania more inclusive and pro-poor. The report argues that managing structural changes, realising productivity gains by investing more in human capital, and creating an enabling business environment are key actions for the Government of Tanzania to create decent, productive jobs and achieve inclusive growth. In turn, the reconfiguration of the economy towards inclusive growth with expanded private sector employment and productivity can bring about sustainable cuts in income poverty and promote broad-based human development in the country.
