WFP estimates that 40% of Tanzanian children under 5 have stunted growth physically and mentally due to malnutrition, the second highest in east africa community after burundi.
This has meant that Tanzanian children are not able to learn properly or even achieve 50% of their potential in future.
" In six regions (Dodoma, Ruvuma, Rukwa, Kigoma, Katavi and Geita), chronic malnutrition exceeds 40%. In three regions, more than half children are chronically malnourished – Iringa (51.3%), Njombe (51.5%), and Kagera (51.9%). Overall, more than 2.7 million children under five in Tanzania are severely stunted, which affects their future learning, productivity, and their opportunities to escape poverty. " ~WFP
Why am I telling you this? Because all other indicators apart from GDP all tell the same story of a miserable existence for majority of Tanzanians unlike Kenya.
NB: Your malnutrition percentage and absolute numbers are far bigger than kenya. Kenya has a 20% malnutrition rate, you guys blow the roof off with 40%. Funny how Tanzanians always claim how kenyans are starving yet we still manage to beat "the food basket" in all nutrition and health indicators.
