Unlocking Tanzania’s Investment Potential

Connecting investors with high-potential enterprises, and building the conditions for capital to flow with confidence.

Invest for Impact Tanzania (IIT) unlocks capital for high-potential Tanzanian enterprises – making it easier for investors to identify opportunities, close deals, and generate meaningful social and economic returns.

We adopt a dual approach – both catalysing near-term investment and laying the foundations for sustained long-term market growth.  This involves closing transactions that demonstrate market potential and build investor confidence, while strengthening the broader ecosystem through better-aligned policies, improved advisory capacity, and clearer market intelligence.

Invest for Impact Tanzania is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) as part of the Productivity for Prosperity (P4P) Programme, and implemented by Palladium under its Green Growth Facility (GGF).

Our approach

  • Engage & Coordinate Investors

    We connect investors with market intelligence and foster collaboration across Tanzania’s investment ecosystem.

  • Increase & Accelerate Deals

    We build a strong pipeline of investable enterprises and help them become visible, credible, and investment-ready.

  • Drive Policy & Regulatory Reform

    We unite investors and government to address regulatory barriers and unlock opportunities for investment.

  • Innovate & Restructure Capital

    We support flexible, blended, and market-aligned financing mechanisms that expand access to capital.
