Mkukuta Cluster I: Growth and Reduction of Income Poverty

“The broad outcome for MKUKUTA’s first cluster is broad-based and equitable growth that is achieved and sustained. The overall assessment for this cluster indicates progress, but the rate of growth needs to be accelerated, with particular attention to strategies which will generate broad-based growth, especially related to agriculture. Public spending on an enabling environment for growth – such as investments in infrastructure, health and education – is
necessary. However, the development of a specific strategy for growth would help focus
investment – private as well as public – and assist with the prioritisation of public spending.”
