186.	Fostering innovation, productivity, and technological change
	Thursday, June 22, 2006  by Admin
	Sustained growth that capitalizes on Tanzania’s recent macroeconomic stability and structural reforms will increasingly depend on the economy’s capacity for innovation—that is, the capacity to produce a wider array of goods and services, accelerate the pace of technological change, and integrate with the global economy. This paper argues that the quality of education, particularly post-primary education, is a crucial element of the capacity to innovate, clarifing that innovation in the Tanzanian context refers to products that previously have not been produced successfully in Tanzania and the adoption of technologies and processes that are new to the country.

188.	Knowledge, technology and cluster based growth in Africa
	Thursday, June 22, 2006  by Admin
	Although, in general, Africa is falling behind in today’s global economic race, there are a number of pockets of vitalities scattered in various countries and industries, in the form of enterprise clusters. Even though these clusters enable enterprises to overcome constraints in capital, skills, technology, and make contributions to the economic growth, they also face technological, natural resource, environment and quality challenges as well as global competition. This paper is based on the evidence presented in the studies, with a focus on the knowledge and technology aspects.

	Wednesday, June 21, 2006  by Admin
	Africa has had a proliferation of NGOs over the past forty years or so. Many of these are purported to aid in the development process of African societies in various fields. While some successes have been recorded, many of these NGOs seem to be towing the lines of donor agencies so that whenever such lines change they also follow suit accordingly. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss findings from a preliminary study of some NGOs in Tanzania and see how effective they have been in the development process.

	Wednesday, June 7, 2006  by Admin
	Over the past decade there has been a renewed interest in the globalization process. This reflected into the emergence of new forces of globalization. One of recently identified important forces of globalization has been private foreign direct investment (FDI). This rapid growth and performance of FDI has generated a number of policy issues regarding benefits and costs to the economies of both home and host countries. The overall objective of this paper is to raise public awareness on the potential impacts of FDI on economic development in Tanzania, particularly its implications to the ongoing efforts to poverty reduction.
