Tanzania has pursued large-scale infrastructure investment to support industrialisation and regional trade integration, including expansion of standard gauge rail, port modernisation in Dar es Salaam, hydropower generation and road corridor upgrades. These projects aim to strengthen Tanzania’s position as a logistics gateway for landlocked neighbours while expanding domestic energy supply and manufacturing capacity. Continued improvements in public investment management, debt sustainability and private sector participation are central to ensuring that infrastructure spending translates into broad-based economic growth.
