In response, Tanzania needs to develop a Long-Term Vision (LTV) to serve as the foundation for building a long-term, integrated, low-emission, climate-resilient future. This Vision will be anchored in Tanzania’s commitment to sustainable development, economic diversification, poverty reduction, and global climate leadership. It will emphasise balancing socio-economic growth with environmental protection, enabling Tanzania to achieve prosperity without sacrificing its natural wealth or community resilience as reflected in the National Development Vision (NDV) 2050, Zanzibar Vision 2050, the Paris Agreement, and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Tanzania’s aspiration is clear: by 2050, the country envisions itself as a net-zero, climate-resilient nation with an inclusive, competitive, and self-reliant economy. Accordingly, the LTV will identify priority sectors crucial for driving this transformation, including energy, agriculture, forestry, transport and infrastructure, mining and industry, waste management, blue economy, and cross-cutting areas such as gender equality, youth empowerment, capacity building, technology transfer, climate finance, etc.

This consultancy supports the development of Tanzania’s Long-Term Vision (LTV) aligned with the national Vision 2050, and a detailed Roadmap for elaboration of the 2050 Long-Term Low Emission Strategy (LT-LEDS). It provides systematic approaches, milestones, stakeholder engagement strategies, and coordination mechanisms to guide the development of the LT-LEDS.
