This study on the political economy of nutrition policies in Tanzania was conducted on behalf of the World Bank. It was completed as a shadow case study for the comparative study of nutrition policies in six countries in Africa: Benin, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ghana, Madagascar, and Senegal. The World Bank is conducting this comparative study to understand the factors and strategies pursued in Tanzania for nutrition policy-making and implementation, as well as long-term sustainability of nutrition policy as a result of governmental commitment.
