The Citizen, a daily newspaper in Tanzania, featured an opinion editorial written by Rakesh Rajani, the Head of Twaweza, which had previously been published in the World Bank Institute's Development Outreach magazine. It argues that development experts in sub-Saharan Africa have little to show for their efforts over the past 50 years and quotes the example of the education sector in Tanzania.
Marion Bowman, mkurugenzi wa one-world-media, anaandika kuwa uwazi ndio mustakabali wa tasnia ya maendeleo akinukuu sera ya Twaweza kama alivyoiwasilishwa Rakesh Rajani kwenye sherehe ya miaka 50 ya Taasisi ya Misaada ya Kimataifa ya Uingereza. Madeleine Bunting wa gazeti la Guardian la Uingereza anaunga mkono hoja hiyo akiandika kwenye blogu yake-na kumnukuu pia Rakesh- kuwa inapaswa raia wawezeshwe kufuatiliwa wao wenyewe ufanisi wa misaada.
