How can the role of government in development be assessed?

Increasingly governments are judged through the outcome of their policies within achieving above average development or meeting UN

Millennium objectives for 2015. As like an example the IMF reports:

• "Sound economic policies" assisted Botswana, Senegal, Cameroon, Tanzania and Botswana to cope along with the global economic dip as well as the weak export prices

• "Unsuitable economic policies and political turmoil" which caused the economy to reduce and inflation to soar into Zimbabwe.
