Despite occasional bright spots (like an improving audit agency), Tanzania scores weak or very weak in many areas assessed. Despite some very limited public access to information, there is no law codifying such access. The same holds true for election integrity. However, in political financing the opposite holds true: there are indeed regulations, but they are not effective. While there is an agency that monitors the political financing process, and there are requirements for independent auditing of the finances of political parties and candidates, the effectiveness is decidedly limited because there are no caps on total donations or expenditures.
