### Summary and strategic orientation
- Tanzania's Second National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP II) is a continuation of government and national commitments to accelerate economic growth and fight poverty.
- MKUKUTA I (NSGRP I) yielded demonstrable positive results but failed to meet some targets.
- MKUKUTA II was implemented to realize Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025 and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
- MKUKUTA II is oriented more toward growth and enhancement of productivity, with greater alignment of interventions toward wealth creation as a way out of poverty.

### Major themes and policy focus
- Emphasis on accelerating economic growth as a central pathway to poverty reduction.
- Shift from outcomes achieved under MKUKUTA I toward interventions that enhance productivity and promote wealth creation.
- Alignment of national interventions with long-term development goals: Development Vision 2025 and the MDGs.
