Background, Improvements, Setbacks, Disappointments and Threats

Why Electrol Democracy Fails to Meet Stakkeholder's Expectations in Tanzania Compared to Some Growing Democracies in Africa

Tanzania's transition to multi-party democracy in the 1990s was a milestone in its governance history. While it set the stage for citizen participation and regular electoral cycles, significant challenges persist in meeting stakeholders' expectations. Improvements such as increased voter awareness and enhanced electoral infrastructure demonstrate progress. However, the dominance of ruling parties, limited political space for opposition, and low trust in electoral processes highlight systemic flaws. In contrast, growing democracies like Ghana and Botswana have embraced more inclusive practices, robust electoral commissions, and strengthened accountability measures, fostering higher public confidence. Setbacks in Tanzania include frequent allegations of voter suppression, manipulation of electoral laws, and inadequate civic education. These issues have led to stakeholder disappointments, with many questioning the credibility of elections and the fairness of outcomes. The threats of political instability, suppression of dissent, and erosion of democratic norms further hinder Tanzania’s progress. To rebuild trust, Tanzania must prioritize transparent governance, enhance civic participation, and ensure an even playing field for all political actors. By addressing these gaps, Tanzania can draw lessons from Africa’s thriving democracies and move closer to realizing the true potential of electoral democracy.

The United Nations’ Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC), Conference of Parties (COP28) is scheduled to take place in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai from 30th November to 12th December, 2023.

The main COP 28 Agenda will be: Loss and Damage, Climate Finance and Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETP). Climate Science shows that the Current Emissions and Global Warming Projections are reaching catastrophic proportions and levels particularly in Greenhouse gasses emissions whereby last year 2022 the warning levels reached 1.15oC.

Hence, threatening common wellbeing, peace and security of humanity the planet locally and globally than ever before. It is an undeniable fact that Africa (including) Tanzania is the most affected continent. In response to this the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) in Tanzania collaboration with the Kilimanjaro Consortium for Development and Environment (KCDE) based in Kilimanjaro, deemed it relevant and critical to engage Pre-COP 28 Stakeholders, academia, policy makers and climate experts for round table discussions and consultations as effective spaces and opportunity for collective awareness, accountability and action. More urgent and critical, in order to adequately achieve the Goals of the 2015, Paris Climate edifice, the following fundamental pillars and regimes in particular, need urgent evaluative focus and prioritization in particular: (A) Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC’s) general and specific status in Tanzania. (B) Tanzania recent Nationally Contributions in particular: a critical post- mortem and deep analysis on: - Adaptation Contributions - Mitigation Contributions (C) Tanzania’s Critical Gap’s Weaknesses and Discrepancies: Calibrating: - Ambition gaps - Budgetary gaps - Policy gaps - Managerial/Leadership gaps - Organizational and Planning gaps - Technical resilience and expertise gaps - Human Resource mobilization gaps - Non-human resource mobilization gaps (D) The Critical role of Cities and Urban Contents in Climate Change Mitigation.
