The president of Tanzania, Benjamin William Mkapa, spoke about the economic challenges facing his country to a packed ARCO Forum Wednesday afternoon.
Mkapa added that speaking at the Kennedy School of Government (KSG) held special meaning for him, because the school is named for the U.S. president who supported many African countries during the 1960s, when they were just gaining their independence.
Prior to his presidency, Mkapa served as minister of foreign affairs; information and culture; information and broadcasting; and science, technology and higher education. In the early 1980s, he was ambassador to the U.S. He was elected the country's president in 1995.
