"description":"Tanzania has made major progress over the last 15 years: it remains politically stable; the economy has grown by 7% a year on average; almost all children are now enrolled in primary school; and infant mortality and deaths from malaria have halved. But despite this progress, acute challenges remain: 21 million people (43% of the population) live below the international poverty line; and the country ranks 159 on the Human Development Index. \n\n## Top priorities\n* **Economic development:** Tanzania to take significant steps both to realise the potential its youth through job creation, and to manage the growth of its cities. Renewables, including off-grid household solar, to become a major source of energy.\n* **Manifesto results:** to dramatically reduce the number of Tanzanians in extreme poverty, see a step-change in the quality of primary education, and help girls and women have more voice, choice and control over their lives.\n* **Golden thread:** democracy in Tanzania to be further entrenched through a strengthened parliament, civil society and media. Government systems to be more able to deliver against priorities, including tackling corruption. And Tanzania’s partnership with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to continue to drive increases in domestic revenue. \n\n## Further resources\n[DFID Operational Plan for Tanzania](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dfid-tanzania-operational-plan-2014)\n\n[Tanzania page on GOV.UK website](https://www.gov.uk/government/world/tanzania)",
"description":"**Tanzania has made significant progress over the last 15 years.** The economy has grown by almost 7% a year and infant mortality and deaths from malaria have halved. But acute challenges remain: 21 million people live below the international poverty line; and the country ranks 151 on the Human Development Index. \n\n## Top priorities for 2020\n* **Strengthening global peace, security and governance:** Democracy in Tanzania will be further entrenched with a strengthened parliament, civil society and media. Government systems will be more able to engage with citizens and deliver against their priorities, including tackling organised crime. And Tanzania’s partnership with HMRC will continue to drive increases in domestic revenue. (Global Goals 15, 16 and 17)\n* **Strengthening resilience and response to crises:** Renewables, including off-grid household solar, will be a major source of energy. The impact of climate change, particularly in cities, will be reduced. The suffering of refugee populations will be reduced during protracted crises, particularly Burundi. (Global Goals 7, 11 and 13)\n* **Promoting global prosperity:** Tanzania will have taken significant steps both to realise the demographic dividend through job creation and to manage the growth of its cities, pre-empting youth grievance. The most vulnerable and disadvantaged will have greater income opportunities. (Global Goals 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15.)\n* **Tackling extreme poverty and helping the world’s most vulnerable:** The number of Tanzanians in extreme poverty and suffering from malnutrition will be dramatically reduced. There will be a step-change in the quality of education, access to clean water and sanitation, and girls and women will have more voice, choice and control over their lives. (Global Goals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.) \n\n## Further resources\n[DFID Operational Plan for Tanzania](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dfid-tanzania-operational-plan-2014)\n\n[Tanzania page on GOV.UK website](https://www.gov.uk/government/world/tanzania)",
