Ashatu Kijaji addressing EAC ministers during the Sectoral Council on Environment and Natural Resources meeting in Arusha, advocating for stronger regional collaboration on sustainability and climate action. **Tanzania Calls for Enhanced Regional Cooperation on Natural Resource Management within EAC** The United Republic of Tanzania has called on Partner States of the East African Community to strengthen regional collaboration in the protection and sustainable management of the environment and natural resources, emphasizing the need for coordinated action to address shared challenges for the benefit of all citizens across the region. The call was made by the Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism, Ashatu Kijaji, during the opening of the 11th Sectoral Council of Ministers on Environment and Natural Resources (SCENR), held on April 23, 2026, in Arusha. The meeting focused on reviewing progress in implementing previous Council decisions that remain outstanding. In her remarks, Dr. Kijaji noted that despite East Africa’s rich endowment of natural resources—including forests, wildlife, rivers, major lakes, and the Indian Ocean coastline—these assets continue to face significant threats driven by climate change, including biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and unsustainable resource use. “Without decisive and coordinated action, the sustainability of these resources will be at risk, potentially undermining food security, tourism revenues, and the economic stability of our countries,” she emphasized. She further highlighted that key economic sectors dependent on natural resources—such as tourism, agriculture, fisheries, and energy—play a critical role in the socio-economic development of EAC Partner States. Tourism alone contributes, on average, more than 10 percent of GDP in some member countries, while generating millions of direct and indirect jobs across the region. Dr. Kijaji outlined priority areas requiring enhanced cooperation, including policy and regulatory harmonization, mobilization of climate finance, advancement of the blue economy, combating environmental degradation, and strengthening public awareness initiatives. The meeting, which followed technical and permanent secretaries’ sessions held from April 20–22, 2026, also addressed key thematic areas such as climate change, water and ecosystems, marine and blue economy, pollution control, and international environmental agreements. Tanzania’s delegation was led by Dr. Kijaji and included the Minister of State in the Office of the Vice President – Zanzibar, Hamis Hassan; the Deputy Minister in the Vice President’s Office (Union and Environment), Reuben Kwagirwa; the Deputy Minister for Water, Kundo Mathew; alongside other senior government officials.

Khamis Mussa Omar speaking at a panel during the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings 2026 in Washington, D.C., discussing Tanzania’s transport corridors, infrastructure investments, and regional economic integration strategy. By Joseph Mahumi, Washington, D.C. Tanzania has continued to distinguish itself as a key regional transport and economic hub in Africa, driven by sustained efforts to develop and modernize transport corridors that stimulate trade, employment, and regional integration. This was highlighted by the Minister for Finance, Khamis Mussa Omar, during a panel discussion organized by the World Bank on the role of transport corridors in advancing Africa’s economic growth. The session was held on the sidelines of the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings 2026 in Washington, D.C.. Speaking during the panel, Minister Omar noted that Tanzania has been at the forefront of connecting countries across the region through modern infrastructure, including the historic TAZARA Railway, established in the 1970s as one of the earliest transport corridors linking Tanzania and Zambia. He observed that for many years, such corridors primarily served transportation purposes without fully unlocking broader economic development along their routes. However, this is now being addressed through a strategic shift toward transforming them into economic corridors. “The new direction is to ensure that these corridors evolve into economic corridors rather than serving solely as transport routes. This transformation will stimulate industrial development, trade, and services. These corridors are critical not only for urban growth but also for uplifting rural economies, where much of the production takes place, and for linking these areas to markets to unlock vast development opportunities,” Minister Omar stated. He further highlighted the success of the Central Corridor, which connects the Port of Dar es Salaam to neighboring countries via Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika. The corridor has significantly enhanced trade access for Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan, reinforcing Tanzania’s role as a gateway to East and Central Africa. To further strengthen this position, the Government has made substantial investments in the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), valued at USD 10.2 billion. The railway is being developed in six phases domestically, with plans underway to extend it to Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, thereby expanding regional trade and transport networks. Minister Omar added that these infrastructure investments are aligned with a broader strategy to promote industrialization through value addition in agriculture and mining, enhance domestic production, and boost the national economy. He also noted that the tourism sector stands to benefit significantly from improved infrastructure. “These investments reflect our proactive approach. We did not wait for regional initiatives—we acted as a country, recognizing our responsibility to drive regional development,” he emphasized. He underscored that these efforts continue to position Tanzania as a strategic regional transport hub, contributing significantly to inclusive and sustainable economic growth across Africa. For his part, Ndiamé Diop, Vice President of the World Bank for Eastern and Southern Africa, stressed the importance of shifting from traditional transport corridors to fully integrated economic corridors. He cited the Dar es Salaam (Central Corridor) as a strong example of regional connectivity linking countries across Eastern and Southern Africa. He noted that economic corridors have strong potential to drive job creation, enhance economic competitiveness, and strengthen regional cooperation. However, he emphasized the need to rethink investment sequencing, observing that while coastal countries often invest first, landlocked countries tend to be the initial beneficiaries. He called for more strategic planning to ensure early and equitable benefits for all. Meanwhile, Zarau Wendeline Kibwe, Executive Director of the World Bank representing Africa Group 1 Constituency, underscored the importance of African countries leveraging knowledge-sharing and collaboration in developing high-impact economic corridors. She emphasized that beyond infrastructure development, creating a conducive business environment is essential to enable meaningful private sector participation and maximize investment benefits. She further called for the integration of economic corridor development into national strategies to ensure alignment with broader economic growth objectives. Dr. Kibwe added that investments in such corridors can help address structural economic and social challenges, while stressing the need for inclusive and interconnected systems. She also highlighted the critical role of international financial institutions, including the World Bank and the African Development Bank, in mobilizing resources to finance these transformative projects—key to advancing Africa’s industrialization and economic self-reliance.
