Dar es Salaam. After record-breaking performance in 2024, Tanzania has set an ambitious target of attracting $15 billion in investments this year as part of wider efforts to generate jobs for its rapidly growing youth population.

The government, which facilitated the creation of 8,084,204 jobs across the public and private sectors between November 2020 and February 2025, aims to maintain this momentum through the implementation of 1,500 new investment projects in 2025.
