Tanzania

Tanzania is a fast-growing lower-middle-income East African economy, one of the continent’s most consistent performers in recent years. It benefits from a large population (~70–71 million), abundant natural resources (gold, natural gas, agriculture), tourism, and major infrastructure investments (hydropower, railways, ports). Growth has remained resilient despite global pressures, supported by prudent macroeconomic management, low inflation, and strong sectoral contributions. Tanzania ranks in the low-to-medium human capital category globally, with significant progress in access but persistent quality and nutrition challenges.

0.39 Low

World Bank Human Capital Index (HCI)

o Latest comprehensive value (2020, no major update since): 0.39 (scale 0–1)

o Interpretation: A child born today can expect to achieve only ~39% of their full potential productivity (full health + quality education).

o Below Sub-Saharan Africa average (~0.40) and well below lower-middle-income peers.

Overall

Tanzania’s consistent economic growth and prudent macro management make it one of Africa’s most reliable performers. However, human capital outcomes remain below the Sub-Saharan average, and closing the gap between access to services and quality of outcomes is essential for sustaining long-term growth.
