It is fashionable today to hear that it is necessary to have good governance as a means to development. Good governance as prescribed by the advocates includes several elements such as rule of law, constitutionalism, the observance of human rights, regular free and fair elections, accountability and transparency, among others. It is believed that the combination of these elements creates a conducive atmosphere for the conduct of government business that is pro-people, and one that is likely to accelerate the development process. Many developing countries are at different stages of trying to have these features in place. Tanzania too is trying. There have been different reform programmes and projects including Local Government Reforms, Public Service Reforms, Financial Sector Reforms as well as Legal Sector Reform. Further there are efforts to make the government more efficient through e-government. |
