INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR TANZANIA

The overall objective of this research project is to identify institutional bottlenecks that limit competitiveness and enterprise development in the productive sectors– and the enabling policy framework to address them effectively. Specifically, the research project will seek to undertake three objectives, namely (i) Analysis of the institutional framework for enterprise
development and competitiveness; (ii) Analysis of the key constraints, challenges and opportunities for Tanzania in improving enterprise performance and competitiveness at the national, regional and global levels; and (iii) Assessment of the implications of various policy
developments at national, regional and global level to Tanzania’s enterprise development and competitiveness. Such policies includes, for instance, the decision to promote industrialization as a central drive of the current government; agreements and protocols at the EAC regional levels; and on multilateral and bilateral trade negotiations such as EPAs and AGOA.
