Promoting good governance, accountability and political support to harness the demographic dividend in Tanzania Key messages Good governance is a key pillar of Tanzania’s development Vision 2025, and it seeks to ensure a strong adherence to rule of law and the absence of corruption. Corruption is widespread in the country and the civil society is generally inefficient and ineffective. To strengthen measures aimed at enhancing good governance and accountability in the country, Tanzania should: strengthen the economic and corporate governance frameworks to instil confidence and trust among domestic and foreign investors; reinforce public sector management for efficient delivery of public goods and services; strengthen accountability institutions, empower civil society, and improve monitoring, evaluation and performance management measures in the civil service; and encourage the participation of women and youth in decision making in order to harness a maximum demographic dividend.
