Haya Magazeti yalisambaza taarifa za uongo kuwa WB yaipongeza Tanzania juu ya kupambana na Covid 19. Je TCRA na vyombo vya usalama vimechukua hatua gani baada ya WB kukanusha hii habari??
Did the World Bank applaud Tanzania’s policies?
AFP reviewed the World Bank’s Africa’s Pulse report and did not find any specific praise for Tanzania’s COVID-19 response.
Africa’s Pulse is a biannual publication containing an analysis of the near-term macroeconomic outlook for the region.
In a statement, the World Bank unequivocally denied singling out Tanzania’s policy in its assessment of the economic impact of COVID-19 and policy responses in Sub-Saharan Africa.
“Our attention has been drawn to news articles currently circulating in Tanzania and on various other websites regarding the World Bank’s recent economic update for Sub-Saharan Africa. On Thursday, April 9, the World Bank launched Africa’s Pulse, its regional economic update, in which the institution highlighted the significant impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on the region’s economy and on the welfare of citizens, and offered recommendations on the appropriate actions that governments may need to consider,” the statement said.
“In this report, the World Bank does not make specific mention or assessment of Tanzania’s COVID-19 response.”
The report recommends that African countries should customise their COVID-19 responses to fit the structural features of their economies. For instance, it warns that actions such as strict confinement might not work effectively in economies that heavily rely on the informal sector -- where the majority of the population needs to work every day to sustain their livelihoods.
