Tanzania has been a relative success story in terms of African political reform. In the early 1990s Tanzania shifted from a one-party to a multiparty system, allowed greater freedoms for the press and civil society, and in 1995 held its first multiparty elections since 1962. The country has also somewhat of a donor darling since the late 1980s due to the institution of wide ranging structural adjustment policies as prescribed by international institutions. It is the second largest aid recipient in Sub-Saharan Africa, after Ethiopia, and received about $26.85 billion in assistance between 1990 and 2010. In the WIDER working paper 'Donor Assistance and Political Reform in Tanzania' Aili Mari Tripp assesses the impact development aid has had on Tanzania's democratic transition and consolidation. She argues that foreign assistance has in many ways directly strengthened democracy through support to civil society, parties, the media, legislature and the judiciary but that it has also had some, unintended, negative consequences on the quality of the countries democracy.
