Tanzania
United Republic of Tanzania
Tanzania is East Africa's second-largest economy, blessed with extraordinary natural resources including gold deposits (Africa's fourth-largest producer), the world's only source of tanzanite, and some of the continent's most iconic tourism destinations: the Serengeti, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar.
The economy has grown steadily at 5-7% annually, driven by construction, mining, and services. The government under President Samia Suluhu Hassan has focused on improving the business environment, reopening dialogue with the private sector, and advancing major infrastructure projects including the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Dam (2,115 MW) and the Standard Gauge Railway.
Tanzania is emerging as a major natural gas producer with the discovery of significant offshore reserves. The country is also a member of both the EAC and SADC, providing access to a combined market of over 500 million people.

Climate Readiness Full ranking
How this is computed
Adaptive capacity to absorb climate finance and adapt, following the readiness dimension of the ND-GAIN framework. Built only from measured values already held on each country profile. It is not a measure of emissions or physical climate vulnerability, which the platform does not yet hold.
- Energy access (30%) — World Bank, access to electricity (% of population). The single most climate and energy specific signal held: SDG 7 and the clean-energy transition.
- Governance readiness (20%) — Transparency International, Corruption Perceptions Index (0-100). ND-GAIN governance readiness: the capacity to govern and deploy climate finance. Higher is cleaner.
- Human readiness (20%) — UNDP, Human Development Index (0-1). ND-GAIN social readiness: the adaptive capacity of the population.
- Economic readiness (15%) — World Bank, GDP per capita (current US$), latest measured year. ND-GAIN economic readiness: the capacity to finance adaptation. Scored relative to the covered set.
- Digital readiness (15%) — World Bank, individuals using the Internet (% of population). Information systems for early warning and adaptation.
A country is scored only when at least 4 of the five indicators are held. Sub-scores are weighted and renormalised over the indicators that are present; nothing is estimated for one that is absent.
