He highlighted that UK support has tripled, with one of the key partnerships focusing on a mutual prosperity agenda aimed at stimulating investment and trade for sustainable growth and job creation.
Mitchell outlined additional areas of support, including an allocation of approximately 48.932bn/- for health systems strengthening for five years. The investment will work in collaboration with the Tanzanian government to enhance healthcare resilience, reduce preventable deaths, and combat disease outbreaks, supporting the country’s journey towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

Mitchell also reiterated the UK’s commitment to Tanzania’s Social Action Fund (TASAF), which provides cash transfers to the poorest households across all regions of Tanzania. This support aims to increase resilience to economic, food, and climate shocks.
