Tanzania Reports SDG Gains at UN
Prof. Kitila Mkumbo presented Tanzania’s Third Voluntary National Review on the Sustainable Development Goals to the United Nations High-Level Political Forum in New York, USA.
He detailed improvements in several key areas, including increased access to clean water and electricity. Access to clean water in rural areas rose from 72.3 percent in 2020 to 85.3 percent in 2025, and electricity access now reaches 86.2 percent of the population.
The report also noted a rise in railway passengers, increasing from 1.2 million to 4.1 million, indicating progress in industrial development and infrastructure. Tanzania emphasized strong collaboration with over 824 civil society organizations and 1,000 private sector institutions in preparing the report and driving SDG implementation.
Looking ahead, Tanzania outlined seven priority areas within its National Development Vision 2050 and Fourth Five-Year Development Plan to further accelerate progress towards meeting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with only four years remaining.
