Factsheet: Natural Resources Stewardship Programme in Tanzania

Tanzania is one of the fastest-growing economies in East Africa. The country aims to achieve middle-income status through industrialization and economic transformation. With a population of over 65 million, continued population growth and expanding urban and industrial activities are placing increasing pressure on water and other natural resources. This growth is also contributing to rising energy demand, waste generation, and environmental pollution. This highlights the need for more sustainable resource management to support long-term development.
