About Tanzania Business Journal

The premier weekly publication for business professionals, investors, and policymakers navigating Tanzania's dynamic economy and East Africa's rapidly evolving markets.

Our Mission

Tanzania Business Journal was founded to serve the growing community of professionals who recognize Tanzania's emergence as one of Africa's most promising investment destinations. From Dar es Salaam's financial district to the mining operations of Lake Victoria to the agricultural heartlands of the Southern Highlands, we cover the stories that matter.

We believe that accurate, timely business intelligence is essential for Tanzania's continued development. Through rigorous reporting, exclusive interviews, and data-driven analysis, we connect local enterprises with international capital, help policymakers understand market dynamics, and provide investors with the insights they need to navigate this exciting market.
