Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)

Situation Analysis fro PPP’s in Tanzania

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a transformative approach to achieving Tanzania’s Vision 2025, leveraging private sector investment to advance infrastructure, energy, and social development. Between 2021 and 2025, Tanzania allocated a development budget of TZS 54.575 trillion, with 62% sourced domestically. Flagship projects such as the Standard Gauge Railway and Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project, which will add 2,115 MW to the national grid, demonstrate the model’s potential, with an 80-20 cost-sharing approach reducing the government's financial burden. These initiatives are projected to create 10,000 jobs and increase annual economic output by TZS 1 trillion, making PPPs critical in addressing infrastructure gaps and boosting regional trade.

Despite these advancements, challenges remain, including regulatory inefficiencies, project delays, and limited institutional capacity. Rural electrification and investments in sectors like education and healthcare highlight untapped opportunities for PPPs to foster inclusivity and reduce disparities. The PPP model has also shown its financial efficiency, with private investors assuming 80% of cost and risk in major projects. To unlock the full potential of PPPs, Tanzania must strengthen institutional frameworks, refine risk-sharing mechanisms, and promote stakeholder awareness. This questionnaire aims to gather perspectives on the performance, challenges, and future potential of PPPs, providing insights to optimize their contribution to Tanzania’s sustainable development.
