Evidence snapshot for Tanzania
Tanzania is home to several innovative programmes scaling digital and inclusive education, environmental conservation, and economic opportunity. Shule Direct reaches over 3 million secondary-school students across all 25 regions, while Tai uses storytelling and digital technology to reach 100,000+ direct learners and 17+ million people via broadcast and social media. In environmental management, MCDI supports 40+ communities managing 410,000+ hectares of miombo woodland with 150,000 hectares FSC-certified, and in Dar es Salaam, Ramani Huria has trained 450 community mappers and mapped 29 wards covering an estimated 2 million residents to improve flood resilience. These figures are self-reported and lack independent randomised evaluation, with the exception of Ramani Huria's earlier stages, which received World Bank documentation.
