Dodoma. Parliament has approved the country’s accession to the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), a move the government expects will help it attract climate finance, develop green investment projects, and strengthen expertise in managing environmental programmes.
Minister of State in the Vice President’s Office (Union and Environment), Mr Hamad Yussuf Masauni, made the revelation in Parliament on Thursday, September 3, 2026.
He said the GGGI membership would give Tanzania access to technical support and financing opportunities as the country seeks to balance economic expansion with environmental protection and climate resilience.
“GGGI is an international institution that enables member countries to implement development plans based on green economic growth to achieve sustainable development goals and the objectives of the Paris Agreement on greenhouse gas emissions reduction,” said Mr Masauni.
