Tanzania
Tanzania was one of the first countries to receive aid from international donors. Yet, the country is still marked by ill-functioning institutions and inequality. We research measures that can contribute to a more equal society, focusing on health systems and public finance management.

A new petro-state
Huge reservoirs of natural gas have been discovered offshore the southern coast of Tanzania. The country might become a large producer of gas, and a potential exporter of liquefied natural gas during the next decades. With this comes the promise of improved economic and social conditions for the people of Tanzania. However, experiences from other countries suggest that it is challenging to turn natural resource wealth into improved welfare for the majority of citizens.
CMI research aims to improve the extent and quality of research that can contribute to more informed policy-making and public debate in Tanzania, particularly on issues related to natural resource management for inclusive growth. We provide contextualised and evidence based policy analysis to facilitate and promote informed policy dialogue and debate in Tanzania on petroleum sector governance.
Poor service quality and insufficient coverage of critical life-saving treatment prevail in many low-income countries, also in Tanzania. There are many reasons for this, but recent evidence suggests that the poor standard of health care is not only due to lack of capacity. Health workers not showing up for work and a substantial gap between the clinical procedures health workers know they should follow, and what they actually do with patients, indicate that health care providers lack motivation. We research health-worker motivation and health system improvements.
