Last update: 5 hours ago

Aviation & Connectivity: ATCL has launched direct Mwanza–Dodoma flights, cutting travel time to about 1 hour 20 minutes and starting twice-weekly service (Fridays and Saturdays), with fares set at Sh246,900 one-way and Sh409,600 return—expected to boost Lake Zone business travel. Banking & Agribusiness Finance: NMB says it has disbursed over Sh180bn in livestock financing to farmers and value-chain firms, including feed, fattening, improved breeds and processing, as it backs the Tri-Nations Livestock Expo. EU Funding Clarity: Tanzania has clarified that an EU Parliament vote on a €156m programme does not suspend funding, saying it’s an internal EU step and not a final decision. Water & Sanitation Investment: The EU and AFD signed a €12.5m (about Sh32.5bn) grant for LVWATSAN II in Mwanza, targeting expanded clean water and sanitation for hundreds of thousands. Agriculture Cooperation: Tanzania and Türkiye agreed to deepen agricultural ties to cut post-harvest losses via irrigation upgrades and value addition. Insurance Push: Tira and NIC urged farmers, livestock keepers and fishers to insure against drought, floods, diseases and theft, highlighting an agricultural insurance consortium. Trade Policy & Tax Scrutiny: Parliament begins public hearings on the Finance Bill 2026, aimed at raising about Sh1.72trn and expanding the tax base, including agriculture and digital services. Diplomacy & Accountability: Tanzania and Indonesia signed an audit cooperation pact to strengthen public sector auditing and transparency. Transport Infrastructure: Tanzania’s government plans a forest products market to reduce middlemen and formalise buyer–farmer timber transactions. Energy/Climate Risk: A report warns the East African Crude Oil Pipeline route overlaps sensitive wetlands and wildlife habitat, raising spill and biodiversity concerns. Regional Governance: A US Senate committee advanced a Tanzania relations bill focused on reforms and potential targeted sanctions tied to the 2025 election.
