A pleasure to host the GFDRR Partnership Council. Together with key partners, GFDRR is working with the Govt of Tanzania to strengthen risk awareness, improve planning & financing for risk reduction, and catalyze critical urban resilience investments.

As Tanzania’s economy grows, urban resilience is key. By 2030, cities like Dar es Salaam, Dodoma & Mwanza are expected to drive 60% of GDP. By 2050, over half the population will live in urban areas—underscoring the need for resilient, inclusive cities.

Among its wide-ranging support for urban resilience in Tanzania, GFDRR has conducted risk assessments in the Msimbazi Basin, transport studies in Dodoma & Arusha, resilience diagnostics in 12 cities, and water sector work in Dar es Salaam.
