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).
