For almost ten years, African countries have fought to improve on two fronts: anti-corruption and pro-development. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), “Tanzania represents a success story for developing and emerging-market countries in a time of evolving donor-recipient relations. Through a series of reforms to increase transparency, good governance, and country-led development, President Kikwete has helped Tanzania become a strong partner with the United States and the international business community.”
On May 3, 2012, Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete spoke at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a bipartisan foreign policy think tank, in Washington, DC.
