TANZANIA OVERVIEW
Tanzania is one of Africa's fastest growing economies, with diverse natural
resources and a youthful population. USAID helps empower women and youth
who are essential to the country's continued development but are among the most
marginalized citizens. Women's salaries, for example, are on average 63 percent
lower than those paid to men, while female-owned businesses make 2.4 times less
profit. Youth under age 15 make up 45 percent of the country's population of 55
million. Increasing access to economic and educational opportunities for young
people will go a long way in helping ensure prosperity for all.

BUDGET OVERVIEW
Despite the economic challenges born from Russia’s war on Ukraine, an increase
in commodity prices, and a stronger American dollar, the Tanzanian economy
performed satisfactorily in 2022. President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s administration
looks to sustain the growth nurtured throughout the implementation of the
country’s 3rd Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP III) 2021/22 – 2025/26, while
tackling the obstacles facing the economy. Real GDP growth was 4.7% compared
to 4.9% in 2021. The growth of the GDP was mostly driven by agriculture (15.6%),
construction (11.8%), and manufacturing activities (8.1%). In 2023, the GDP is
projected to grow by 5.2% - catalyzed by growth of credit to the private sector,
improving business and investment conditions, and the continued rebounding of
the tourism sector.
