But then, beginning in the late 1980s, the countries reversed positions, with Kenya suffering a precipitous economic decline relative to Tanzania (see Figure 16). More recently, Tanzania has shared in sub-Saharan Africa’s overall strong growth with rates of around 6 percent in the period 1999–2011. Kenya by contrast has been racked, particularly since the presidential election of 2007, by violence among its ethnic groups. GDP growth has been lower and much more volatile during the 2000s, reflecting ongoing political conflict. Tanzania has remained much more stable. The reasons for this can be traced ultimately back to the fact that Tanzania’s one-party dictatorship engaged in a policy of nation building, while Kenya’s more liberal state did not.
