After the MDGs: From Social Development to Technoenterprise in TanzaniaFootnote

^†This paper is based on research in Tanzania carried out between February and August 2012 while the author was a senior fellow at the policy think tank, Research on Poverty Alleviation (REPOA). The views presented here are the author's and do not represent in any way the position of REPOA. Helpful comments on an earlier version of this paper were provided by Marjorie Mbilinyi of the Tanzania Gender Networking Programme (TGNP) and participants in the panel on the Millennium Development Goals organised by Clive Gabay at the 2012 Development Studies Association Annual Meeting in London. In Tanzania, the research benefitted from conversations with many people in a number of organisations working as users and producers of development research. I am grateful for their contributions and to Blandina Kilama for clarifications on the institutional location of poverty monitoring.
