A Strategic Conversation on Tanzania’s Future

Francis J. Kamote (Head of Programs at Youth Peacemakers Tanzania – YPM) in a focused discussion with Hon. Joel Arthur Nanauka, Minister of State, President’s Office – Youth Development, on the aspirations, opportunities and strategic priorities of Tanzania’s youth in the journey from Vision 2025 toward Dira 2050.

The engagement reflects a shared commitment to strengthening youth participation, innovation, entrepreneurship, skills development and inclusive economic transformation—ensuring that young Tanzanians are not merely beneficiaries of the national development agenda, but active contributors to shaping Tanzania’s future.

“From Vision 2025 to Dira 2050: Investing in Young People, Ideas and Innovation for a Prosperous Tanzania.”

This framing is consistent with the Minister’s recent emphasis on giving young people space to contribute ideas and participate actively in national development and with Dira 2050’s focus on unlocking the potential of youth and women.
