Tanzania

Tanzania is a presidential constitutional republic that transitioned from a planned economy and one-party system to a liberal economic and political framework in the 1990s. Since 1996, Dodoma has been the official capital, though Dar es Salaam, the largest city, remains the country’s commercial hub, housing most government offices, the main port, and serving as a vital trade center for the region. Tanzania is renowned for its rich natural resources, including world-famous national parks and Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak.

In March 2021, Samia Suluhu Hassan became Tanzania’s sixth and first female president, representing the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi party. She is the third female head of government in the East African Community. Tanzania continues to strengthen its economy, with key sectors including agriculture, tourism, and mining, alongside infrastructure development projects like the Standard Gauge Railway and oil pipeline partnerships.

AHK Services Eastern Africa Ltd., the service entity at the Delegation of German Industry and Commerce for Eastern Africa, established its Tanzania Branch Office in Dar Es Salaam in 2018. Working closely with the regional headquarters in Nairobi, the Tanzania Branch Office offers the full portfolio of AHK services and advice. The Tanzania Branch Office supports German and Tanzanian companies through market and sectoral analyses, fact-finding missions, business partner searches, and market entry facilitation. Furthermore, it facilitates project partnerships and regularly organizes networking events and business delegations.
