Privatization and Sustainable Economic Growth and Human Development in Developing Countries: A Case Study from Tanzania

By Richard Mushi and Maurice Y. Mongkuo

Privatization and Sustainable Development in Developing Countries: A Case Study From Tanzania, by Richard J. Mushi and Maurice Y. Mongkuo, provides an in-depth assessment of the impact of sustainable development reform through privatization of public functions on economic growth and human development in a developing country setting. Using the United Republic of Tanzania as a country-specific case study, a longitudinal comparison of the economic growth and human development trends during the period when the government adopted a non-privatized management strategy to a period when it embarked on a privatized management strategy, the authors found that, with the exception of dead rate, reform through privatization of public functions seem to have resulted in sustained economic growth and human development over time.
