Abstract
Poststructural adjustment policies currently being emphasized by the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and donors in tropical Africa are liberalization and privatization of the economies. In theory both of these policies will allow firms to operate more efficiently and the economy to be more competitive and market-oriented. This paper focuses on the short-run effects of these policies, how governments are initiating them and what segments of the population are benefiting/losing. The programs are sufficiently new in tropical Africa that the literature contains little analysis. A recent visit to Tanzania and Zambia provides the basis for this review of the experiences in these two countries.
