Peace and unity remain essential for Tanzania to achieve its long-term development ambitions, the government has said, urging citizens to prioritise stability as a foundation for economic and social progress.
Speaking in Dodoma on Saturday, April 10, 2026, the Chief Government Spokesperson, Gerson Msigwa, said every Tanzanian has a role to play in protecting the country’s peace and cohesion to enable the realisation of personal and national aspirations.
He noted that a stable environment allows citizens to focus on productive activities, improve livelihoods and contribute to the country’s overall growth.
Msigwa said Tanzania’s long-term plan, the Tanzania Development Vision 2050, cannot be achieved without sustained peace and social harmony.
The vision targets transforming the country into a one-trillion-dollar economy, a goal that relies heavily on active participation from the private sector.
He explained that the private sector is expected to contribute about 70 percent of the economy, while the public sector will account for 30 percent, making stability a key requirement for investment and business growth.
Msigwa urged Tanzanians to avoid actions that could undermine unity and instead focus on economic activities and available opportunities that can improve their welfare.
He said maintaining peace will not only support business growth but also attract investment and strengthen the country’s development path.
The government, he added, will continue to emphasise the importance of unity and cooperation as the country works towards achieving its long-term economic goals.
