This briefing paper details efforts being undertaken by the government of Tanzania against corruption since the early days of independence. It reveals the doubling of the efforts in the last seven years with the adoption of a new and comprehensive anti-corruption strategy.This bulletin reports the findings of the most recent, 2005, Afrobarometer survey on a variety of issues relating to corruption, including public understandings of what constitutes corruption, evaluations of the government’s anti-corruption efforts, the perceived extent of corruption among various individuals and institutions of government, how citizens respond to demands for illegal payments, the extent of corruption in the electoral process, and finally, the ability of the government to enforce its laws against corruption and other criminal activity. Overall, the findings suggest that the government may be achieving at least modest success via its current efforts; public perceptions of its efforts to combat the problem are improving, while reported experiences with corruption appear to be on the decline.
