As of 2 September 2013

According to the World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Report 2013-2014- Category- Tanzania 

"Tanzania is ranked 125th this year. Its institutions
have been deteriorating over the past years—although
government regulation is not seen as overly burdensome
(53rd), corruption has been worsening (106th) and
policymaking has become less transparent. In addition,
some aspects of the labor market—such as the country’s
strong female participation in the labor force (5th) and
reasonable redundancy costs—lend themselves to
efficiency. On the other hand, infrastructure in Tanzania
is underdeveloped (134th), with poor roads and ports
and an unreliable electricity supply (131st). And although
primary education enrollment is commendably high,
providing universal access, enrollment rates at the
secondary and university levels are among the lowest in
the world (at 134th and 138th place, respectively), while
the quality of the educational system needs upgrading.
A related area of concern is the country’s low level of
technological readiness (126th), with very low uptake
of ICTs such as the Internet and mobile telephony. The
basic health of its workforce is also a serious concern:
the country is ranked 125th in this area, with poor health
indicators and high levels of communicable diseases."
