Tanzania has secured three strategic agreements that are expected to strengthen healthcare services, expand energy infrastructure and attract more investment as the country pushes forward with its development agenda.
The agreements were signed during the Africa50 General Shareholders’ Meeting and Infra for Africa Forum held on August 5 and 6, 2026 at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre (JNICC) in Dar es Salaam.
The high-level meetings brought together African governments, development finance institutions and private sector investors to discuss ways of financing and delivering major infrastructure projects across the continent.
Finance Minister Balozi Khamis Mussa Omar said the agreements demonstrated Tanzania’s growing ability to attract strategic partnerships that support economic transformation and improve services for citizens.
The forum was opened by President Samia Suluhu Hassan and provided Tanzania with an opportunity to promote investment opportunities, tourism potential and priority development projects to international investors.
Among the agreements signed is a partnership to establish a new dialysis centre aimed at improving access to kidney treatment services and strengthening the country’s capacity to respond to the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases.
“We have signed an agreement in the health sector to build a new dialysis service centre. The project will help increase access to dialysis services and improve the country’s response to kidney-related challenges,” Balozi Omar said.
Another agreement focuses on a natural gas processing project that will support the production of liquefied gas for industrial use.
The initiative is expected to provide a faster solution for industries requiring reliable energy supplies as Tanzania continues discussions on larger gas development projects.
The third agreement involves cooperation between Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) and Africa50 to develop electricity transmission infrastructure.
The partnership is expected to contribute to strengthening the national power grid, improving electricity reliability and supporting increased economic activities driven by industries and businesses.
Balozi Omar said the Infra for Africa Forum also highlighted the importance for African countries to strengthen their capacity to finance and implement their own development priorities amid changing global economic conditions.
“The discussions emphasised the need for Africa to increase its ability to drive its own development agenda and strengthen cooperation among countries and investors,” he said.
The Africa50 meetings, held under the theme “A Decade of Economic Impact: From Ambition to Delivery,” placed Tanzania at the centre of discussions on infrastructure investment and sustainable economic growth.
The agreements are expected to complement government efforts to improve social services, expand energy access and create a stronger environment for private sector participation in Tanzania’s economic development.
