After you fill out this form about the country you are researching, write a paragraph summarizing your findings about this country. Draw a conclusion as to whether this country is in need of economic (or other) assistance.  //Tanzania is located in east Africa. Looking at the data in the table, we can concluded that Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in Africa. Though it is poor, it is the the holder of the largest amount of refugees on the continent. It has a large population compared to many of the other African countries. Tanzania makes most of its money on its exports and tourism since it is a beautiful country. We don't know about the unemployment rate but compared to the United States infant death rate which is 6 per 1,000, Tanzania has a high infant mortality rate. The data shows that the country doesn't have the best education programs because the literacy rate is low compared to other countries. Tanzania's HDI is 0.467, which is medium according to the U.N. The life expectancy is low compared the whole world. Even though Tanzania is a developing country, hopefully in future years, they can establish a good economy and government that can boost them up to a developed country.//
