TANZANIA is yet to graduate from the group of Least Developing Countries (LDCs). This is due to delayed efforts to combat malpractices and eradicate donor dependence on the country's budget.
The acting UN Resident Coordinator, Mr Michael Dunford said that economic growth comes due to strides made by the government to safeguard national resources by intensifying the fight against all forms of corruption, combating drug trafficking and strengthening discipline and accountability in the public sector.
Mr Dunford, who was delivering a welcoming note during the launch of United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Least Developing Countries Report 2019 in Dar es Salaam on Thursday, went on to show other factors which were promoting Tanzania's development.
