Destination Tanzania
AKDN in Tanzania
For more than a century, the agencies of the Aga Khan
Development Network (AKDN) have been contributing to the social,
economic and cultural development of Tanzania. AKDN’s social
agencies work with marginalised populations to achieve selfreliance through long-term, community-based and participatory
approaches.
Economic development activities of the AKDN have significantly
contributed to new sustainable enterprises and created jobs
through long-term investments. Programmes in culture restore
and rehabilitate historic structures and public spaces in ways
that encourage social, economic and cultural development. In
recognition of the AKDN’s long and substantial contribution to the
socioeconomic development of the country, an Agreement of Cooperation was signed with the United Republic of Tanzania in 1991
and subsequently revised and endorsed in 2001. The Agreement,
which facilitates the effective use of both financial and human
resources, is a commitment to accelerate development that brings
the greatest benefit to Tanzanians.
