  • Tanzania Scoping Study
    Development Corridors in Tanzania A Scoping Study The Development Corridors Partnership is a research and capacity building collaboration among institutions from China, Kenya, Tanzania, and the UK. Its main purpose is to deliver effective research and build capacity for development corridor decision- making based on sound scientific evidence and effective use of available planning tools and procedures. Partners Funders How to cite this report: Development Corridors Partnership (2019). Development Corridors in Tanzania - A scoping study. Compiled by P.K.T. Munishi, J.J. Kashaigili, N. Chilagane, P. Lyimo, R.E. Pallangyo and L. Kolukwi. Sokoine University of Agriculture, Morogoro, Tanzania. E-published by UNEP-WCMC, Cambridge, UK. Executive summary This report presents the findings of the scoping study conducted to analyse the status and challenges of development corridors in Tanzania. The overall objective of this scoping study is to provide a holistic view of the concept of development corridors and how these are implemented in Tanzania. The scoping study is not intended to provide a comprehensive and detailed account of development corridors in Tanzania, but rather to identify capacity and research gaps on which the Development Corridors Partnership could focus to assist sustainable implementation of development corridors in Tanzania. Moreover, the scoping study provides an initial assessment of the status, actors involved and key challenges in the different identified development corridors. The study further identifies and describes other relevant policy areas and development strategies and plans, institutions and organisations closely linked to the implementation of development corridors in Tanzania. A literature review, stakeholder analysis and a critical review of relevant policies and legislation were undertaken to identify actors, policy and legislative frameworks relevant to development corridors in Tanzania.

  • 4 Development Directions for Regional Infrastructure
    Preparatory Survey for Southern Africa Integrated Transport Program Chapter 4 4 Development Directions for Regional Infrastructure 4.1 Infrastructure Bottlenecks under Growth Scenarios 4.1.1 Current Industrial Situation of the Corridors In parallel with the macro analysis undertaken in Chapter 2, summary information on development potential in the region (especially of mineral resources development accompanied by cross-border transport improvements and an overview of a Mega Project) are presented in this section. More details may be found in Appendix B. The results serve as input to Section 4.1.3 on Infrastructure Bottlenecks under the Growth Scenarios. The figure below visually summarizes the mineral and agricultural potential in the Southern African region. (The number of corridor in Figure 4.1.1 corresponds to this section’s paragraph number.) Figure 4.1.1 Mineral and Agricultural Resources and Corridors (1) Nacala Corridor Nacala is regarded as the best location for a deepwater port on the East African coast. The Nacala Corridor has consequently been at the forefront of ongoing initiatives to rehabilitate the rail link to Malawi, thereby creating a number of “anchor” tenants and promoting development 4-1 Preparatory Survey for Southern Africa Integrated Transport Program Chapter 4 along the corridor. Together with Beira and other corridors (Sena and Tete), these developments have been linked to the possible export of coal from the Moatize and Benga coal fields as well as from the Muchana Vuzi coal fields north of the Cahorra Bassa Dam in Tete Province, Mozambique. The corridor is ultimately seen as linking Lusaka in Zambia with the Port of Nacala.

  • Tanzania | a Leader Among Africa’S Emerging Markets
    Tanzania | A Leader among Africa’s Emerging Markets Tanzania A Leader among Africa’s Emerging Markets October 2016 01 Tanzania | A Leader among Africa’s Emerging Markets Brief overview The United Republic of Tanzania (Tanzania) has recorded an annual average growth rate of more than 6% over the past decade and is on course to maintain a robust growth rate of over 6.5% going forward. Despite global economic and financial uncertainties, the economy has been able to achieve these consistent growth rates coupled with a low inflation rate, driven by activity in sectors such as mining, energy, construction and manufacturing. Improving public sector efficiency and a crackdown on corruption has been the focus of the new administration under the leadership of President John Magufuli, elected in 2015. The government intends to stimulate inclusive growth and reduce poverty levels by running a leaner administration, promoting tax compliance, building Private-Public Partnerships (PPPs) and attracting investment into industrial sector development. Underpinned by favourable demographics and supported by a government that is showing signs of principled leadership with intentions to invest in education, skills transfers and infrastructure to drive growth, Tanzania is well-positioned to continue on its current rapid growth path. Its young and culturally-diverse population of more than 50 million makes it eastern Africa’s second most- populous nation after Ethiopia; expected to reach almost 83 million by 2030. Greater emphasis on upscaling urban hard and soft infrastructure and creating employment opportunities in light of a rapidly-growing urban population will be integral in supporting its national development vision, the Tanzania Development Vision (TDV) that looks to transform the economy into a middle-income and semi-industrialised state by 2025.
