Why Tanzania, Why Now?
A Nation at the Threshold of Industrial Transformation
Tanzania transitioned to lower-middle-income status in July 2020 five years ahead of its Vision 2025 target executing an ambitious Vision 2050 agenda built on export-oriented manufacturing, mineral benefaction, and value-added agriculture.
The country serves as the natural logistics gateway for six landlocked neighbours DRC, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Zambia, and Malawi unlocking access to over 200 million consumers through the EAC, SADC, and AfCFTA trade frameworks.
Tanzania was ranked 7th in Africa for investment appeal and recognised as the most peaceful country in East Africa by the 2019 Global Peace Index.
