What is Tanzania’s intangible capital?

In 2007, I came across a Wall Street Journal article, “The Secrets of Intangible Wealth” (click here to download PDF).

The author, Ronald Bailey, discusses a previous World Bank study that outlined the world’s intangible wealth, which is characterized by elements of trust and ‘well being’ in countries. These are not readily measured, but they add to the country’s functionality and human capital.

Considering this, what can be said about Tanzania’s intangible wealth? What are the factors not currently measured that we can improve to raise the level of intellectual and human capital?
