The development of ports in Tanzania has a long history extending well over a century commencing with the initial coastal settlements at Dar es Salaam and Tanga in the 19th century. Both ports served hinterlands stretching to Moshi and Arusha in the north and from Dar es Salaam across the country to Kigoma on Lake Tanganyika and Mwanza on Lake Victoria. Lake ports were also developed at these locations to serve the lakeside communities and provide trading nodes to surrounding settlements. Initially, railways were constructed providing access to the hinterlands and linking the lake ports to the coast. The coastal ports became important ports of call for both freight and passenger shipping movements and were the main gateways for international travel between the country and foreign destinations, particularly in the Middle East and Europe which by the 20th century were the primary trading partners. Both sea and inland waterways ports in Tanzania are managed and operated by the Tan...

Although wind energy is one of the most efficient renewable energy sources, it is very variable compared to other sources of energy.    It is also more sensitive to variations in topography and weather patterns compared to solar energy. Wind energy can be harvested at an economical level of the wind turbine is sited in a windy area and a careful choice of the type of wind turbine that matches the wind pattern of the site is made. Thorough knowledge of the wind speed characteristics at a site of interest is very important in planning to harvest the wind energy. A study on wind speed pattern and the available wind power in Tanzania was conducted by Kainkwa and Uiso (1989). The research revealed that a large part of the country has high wind potential. Some sites that had steady and strong winds were identified. It was suggested that further detailed studies should be conducted to investigate the actual wind power at those specific sites. The Setchet site in Hanan...

Solar Power Generation: A Worthy Investment In Tanzania Tanzania has high levels of solar energy, ranging between 2,800-3,500 hours of the sunshine per year, and a global horizontal radiation of 4–7 Kilo watt per hour (kWh) per m2 per day.  Solar resources are especially good in the central region of the country, and it is being developed both for off--grid and grid-connected solutions. Off-grid solar photovoltaics: To date, about 6 MWp (megawatt peak) of solar Photovoltaic ( PV) electricity has been installed countrywide for various applications in schools, hospitals, health centers, police posts, small telecommunications enterprises and households, as well as for street lighting. More than half of this capacity is utilized by households in peri-urban and rural areas. The government, through the Rural Energy Agency (REA) and various donors, has supported a number of solar PV programs that target off-grid areas where the cost of lighting from solar is less than from a diesel ...

' ' Over the last two decades, the financial landscape in Sub Saharan Africa has changed enormously. Hand in hand with the various reform programs that have been adopted by many countries in Africa, the banking system across the continent has grown significantly, keeping pace with the remarkable economic growth witnessed in many African countries. The banking system has not only increased in scale but now offers a wider range of services across a much wider geographic coverage than it did a decade ago.'' Prof. Benno Ndulu Governor, Bank of Tanzania (August, 2017) The banking system in Tanzania (which dominates the financial system) is liquid and resilient to most of the shocks. Despite some indications of progress resulting from the reforms, the system falls short of what is needed to support economic growth. This results in high-interest rates on loans, currently 12% to 20%, while the interest rates on deposits are at 2%. The banking sector in Tanzania ha...
