Evidence snapshot for Tanzania
Tanzania's evidence base shows innovation across education, environmental management, and climate-resilient livelihoods. Tai's storytelling and digital technology platform reaches over 100,000 students directly across 17 regions with content for marginalized youth, while Shule Direct provides curriculum-aligned digital learning to 3 million+ secondary students across all 25 regions through 50,000+ subscribed teachers. Community-led initiatives include Ramani Huria's flood-resilience mapping in Dar es Salaam, which has trained 450 mappers and reached an estimated 2 million residents, and Aqua-Farms Organization's seaweed farming programme on Pemba Island, which has increased average monthly income for around 300 women farmers from US$30 to US$80 through rent-to-own deep-water equipment financing.
