Abstract

While Zanzibar is celebrating its five years anniversary of the Zanzibar Government of National Unity (ZGNU), this study with other things, tries to examine and discuss how far the ZGNU has successfully maintained strong political stability and provides credible prospects to sustainable economic development in Zanzibar. This study is based on an analysis of the Zanzibar Laws, journal articles, textbooks, newspapers and Bank of Tanzania’s (BoT) financial annual reports. The study finds that though there are a number of short falls arising from the formation of the ZGNU, it remains to be of an admirable benefit, by bringing about a strong political stability with a good sustainable economic development.
