Abstract

This paper compares reform ownership in Ghana and Tanzania over the past two decades. It finds that on several dimensions, Ghana's early economic reforms enjoyed a high degree of ownership. That ownership was not embedded, however, in a politico-institutional framework that ensured that ownership would be maintained. Initial efforts to broaden consultation were not maintained and the small economic team was insufficiently widened.
