362.	Privatization With Indigenous Face, Fails In Tanzania
	Friday, November 25, 2005  by Admin
	Dar Es Salaam - Here is a real situation: Along the course of the privatization in Tanzania, about 95 enterprises went to Tanzanians, and 69 of them to indigenous. But until recently many of buyers of these 69 enterprises were still unable to meet even the minimum conditions necessary to sign memorandum of understanding on the sales. They have been consulting bankers for loans, but in vain. They have also tried to ask the government to be given the enterprises free of charge, again they are likely to fail as well.

	Friday, November 25, 2005  by Admin
	Studies have shown a 20 to 63percent reduction in malaria disease rates following the introduction of insecticide-treated nets. But African governments do not have the resources to provide ITNs to large numbers of their citizens, let alone to entire populations. Nor can they ensure that the nets are retreated every six months with pyrethroid insecticide, a biodegradable material that is safe for humans. But more people could use nets if governments

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Despite many steps forward in social and economic conditions around the world in recent decades, there remain huge disparities in the quality of human existence. We are now at a critical juncture.

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin

369.	Tanzania: Can PRS Succeed Where SAP Failed?
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Most observers agree that the structural adjustment policies (SAPs) implemented in Tanzania and many other low-income countries over the last two decades have not resulted in sustained economic growth or poverty reduction. At the same time, the large loans that helped finance adjustment contributed to a rapid increase in external debt and deepening dependence on continued aid flows to maintain macro-economic stability.

But at the same time, the gap between rich and poor was growing wider, and the actual numbers of people living in poverty increased. By 1998, 1.2 billion people still lived on less than a dollar a day, and 2.8 billion on less than two. What could be done? The United Nations had adopted any number of declarations to alleviate or eradicate poverty...
