Abstract

Millennium development goals have become a pillar in cognising good or bad governance. Most governments, today appeal for fulfilment of the MDG because partly they give a signal on the extent to which development is going to be attained. This article presents an assessment of the extent to which the government of Tanzania under the leadership of Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete has fulfilled the MDG. The article utilises documentation as the data collection strategy. It has further done some comparative analysis of the pace of attainment of the Goals versus past regimes of the same country. The paper concludes that, so far, the fourth regime has done the best in achieving what is disclosed in the Development Millennium Goals. Most goals have become evident to the people of Tanzania, and that just like marketing is crucial for various new products, governments must learn to market what they have achieved.
