President Samia Suluhu Hassan has said the private sector will play a central role in the implementation of Tanzania’s National Development Vision 2050, with businesses expected to deliver nearly 70 percent of the country’s long-term development agenda.
Speaking at State House in Dar es Salaam during the launch of the implementation, monitoring and acceleration tools for Vision 2050, President Samia reaffirmed the government’s commitment to working closely with the private sector to transform the country’s development goals into tangible benefits for citizens.
“The government will continue to create an enabling environment, address existing challenges, and ensure that Vision goals are translated into tangible outcomes that touch the lives of citizens,” President Samia said.
The launch also featured a high-level dialogue between the government and private sector leaders, culminating in the signing of a Joint Declaration aimed at strengthening accountability, collaboration and investment in implementing the Vision.
President Samia said the rollout of the implementation tools fulfills a directive she issued on July 17, 2025, when she officially launched the National Development Vision 2050 in Dodoma.
“When I launched the National Development Vision 2050, I directed that implementation, monitoring and acceleration materials be prepared to ensure the Vision is effectively delivered,” she said.
She further directed the President’s Office responsible for Planning and Investment, together with other relevant institutions, to intensify public awareness campaigns on the implementation of the Vision.
The Tanzanian leader also urged citizens to safeguard peace, unity and stability, saying these remain essential for the successful delivery of the country’s long-term development objectives.
“I urge Tanzanians to continue maintaining peace, unity and stability so that this Vision does not remain merely an aspiration or a policy document, but is implemented successfully for the benefit of our nation,” she added.
The development comes just days after Kenyan President William Ruto unveiled Kenya Vision 2060, the country’s proposed long-term development blueprint that will succeed Vision 2030 and guide Kenya’s economic and social transformation over the next three decades.
President Ruto said the new framework is intended to build on the achievements of Vision 2030 while positioning Kenya as a globally competitive, inclusive and sustainable economy by 2060. He also announced the formation of an advisory team to spearhead nationwide consultations involving policymakers, experts, the private sector, academia and the public.
