OVERVIEW
Tanzania is one of Africa's fastest growing countries and economies, with diverse natural resources and a youthful population. Youth under the age of 25 make up around 60 percent of the country's population of nearly 65 million, while women account for 50 percent of the overall population. Through projects across the spectrum of economic growth and agriculture, health, education, and democracy, human rights, and governance, USAID helps to empower all Tanzanian people, with a particular focus on women and youth, to take responsibility for their own development and the future of their country. The United States’ long-standing partnership with the Tanzanian people, the Government of Tanzania, and the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar is rooted in more than six decades of diplomatic, economic, development, and security cooperation. As Tanzania’s largest bilateral donor, the United States has contributed more than $7.5 billion in assistance over the past 20 years to strengthen security, boost economic growth, expand democratic participation, and improve health and education outcomes. USAID alone has contributed more than $3.6 billion over the last 10 years to support Tanzania’s progress.
