HakiElimu was founded in 2001 by 13 Tanzanians with a clear,
longstanding commitment to transforming public education for all
children. Their action was influenced by a simple fact: that
education in Tanzania was in a mess, and that the many attempts to
reform it appeared to go nowhere. Central to their analysis is the
view that education has not improved much because technocratic
solutions have been applied to essentially political problems, that
volumes of technically sound documents produced by the reforms have
failed to take hold because they fail to account for the politics of
institutional change in Tanzania.
