Descripción
This policy note concerns to delineate
the key components of a trade and competitiveness strategy
for Tanzania. The objective is to provide a strategic
framework and direction that would allow the country to
exploit opportunities from the evolving trends in the global
economy. The note is intended as an input to the Government
of Tanzania's ongoing initiatives to enhance
implementation of the national trade policy. Tanzania has an
elaborate national trade policy (2003). Furthermore, the
Government has recently taken an important step (in June
2007) by approving the Diagnostic Trade Integration Study
(DTIS) to indicate willingness to implement its
recommendations for addressing the constraints limiting
Tanzania's integration in the global economy. Progress
is been made to prepare implementation program. However, a
clear strategy tightly linked to the new realities of
international trade for guiding implementation is not yet in
place. The motivation underlying this note is to provide a
top down view of the strategic direction for guiding
implementation of the policy and the various trade
initiatives. The note is structure into four sections.
Following this introduction, section two sets out the
background and context within which the elements of the
strategy are drawn. Section three delineates the key
elements of the strategy and proposes strategic priorities
for their implementation. Finally, section four identifies
possible areas of further support by the World Bank through
its technical assistance and analytical work in
collaboration with other development partners.
