Tanzania is committed to self-determined progress and a testament to Tanzania’s resolve to emerge as stronger, a more prosperous nation. It’s a call to action for all Tanzanians to unite in this ambitious journey, embracing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, to realize a future marked by resilience, prosperity and sustainable development.
This writing from the heart of a Tanzanian with admiration the response of our fellow citizens responded eloquently and passionately about the future the Tanzania would like to see, and live in by 2050.This writing entails collective response as a nation to the three broad questions:
• What kind of Tanzania do we want to build by the year 2050?
• What kind of person would a Tanzanian like to be in 2050?
• In-order to achieve these dreams and aspirations, what should be done, and by who?
Moving from vision 2025 to Vision 2050 including Lessons. Vision 2050 is a transformational Agenda that defines our aspirations and goals as a people. It aims to transform Tanzania to a high -income country by 2050, and sets out a compelling vision of what our future will look like. It follows, and builds on vision 2025, Tanzania first vision (1995-2025) 30 years will have elapsed, thereby ending that vision period. What is clear is that the goals that were set in 1995 are enduring and many remain relevant today. At close of vision 2025, Tanzania is at crossroads. While we have made strides Towards prosperity for all, we are still faced with number of challenges. In particular the success of the past does not necessarily guarantee future success. The very components of our economy that have supported us will not necessarily do so in the future. A path that perpetuates the status quo, will not provide the living standards that we expect and aspire to.
Given the realities there is a need to make the following reflections about our country:
Through Vision 2050, Tanzania acknowledges and embraces a new era-an era to be characterised not only by clear plans, but by a deliberate and clear effort to execute our plans, strategies and initiatives.
It is a recognition that the path ahead will not always be easy. Choices will need to be made, which may take us out of our comfort zones. Tough decision will need to be taken and implemented. It is in our recognition that by doing so, we will be making huge steps forward in achieving prosperity for all.
Much progress has been made on Vision 2025; New global commitments have been made:
The purpose and pillars of the vision 2050 is to achieve prosperity for all. By prosperity, it means achievement and fulfilment of our individual, community and national goals and this applies at all levels. This should be key in the mind of every Tanzanian as we pursue the 2050’s visions. It calls for doing. It calls for action.
The local and external context suggest a wide spectrum of issues that need to be addressed over the next 20 years, ranging from short-term to long-term systematic problems that require total transformation. The 2050 vision and its complementary reform strategy will therefore act as a compass that directs us to the ultimate goals, and will also help us to weigh competing alternatives and make strategic choices, prioritise and manage trade-offs. It will enable us to measure the quality of our progress by balancing our aspirations through the following pillars that will take us to our desired future:
• Sustainable economic development
• Human and social Development
• Sustainable environment
• Governance, Peace and security.
It is our expectation that vision 2050 will align with our national agenda with global agenda for sustainable development and the principles of Africa’s Agenda 2063, ensure that we pursue national aspirations in a way that enables us to simultaneously meet global and regional goals.
Tanzania is operating in a rapidly changing global, social, economic and physical environment. The Tanzania of 2050 will be significantly different from that of today, and will be more integrated into the global community. The vision will be positioned to be relevant and competitive.
The Country will be adaptive to adverse conditions while exploiting new opportunities provided by globalization. In this regard our journey towards the desired future will be characterised by the key imperative of transformation, implementation, sustainability, flexibility and resilience, innovation, research and national values.
We are prepared to be game changers to propel us to high income status nation, through strong leadership and accountability at all levels, equipped and prepared in a rapidly changing global environment .

Given the realities there is a need to make the following reflections about our country:
- Do we as a country continue to rely on agriculture as one of the mainstays of our economy, or do we make concerted, serious strides towards diversification?
- Do we continue to generate our income from the consumption of our mineral good fortune, or do we focus on being competitive, productive an efficient.?
- Do we adopt insular or inward -looking strategies or do we open-up our country to investors and visitors, in the process creating a vibrant economy and society integrated into the global economy?
- Do we continue with policies that keep Tanzania dependent on the state, or do we foster independence, self-reliance, and unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of our people, with the role of government being transformed from control to facilitation
