AKDN iN TANzANiA For more than a century, the agencies of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) have been contributing to the social, economic and cultural development of Tanzania. AKDN’s social agencies work with marginalised populations to achieve self-reliance through long-term, community-based and participatory approaches.

Economic development activities of the AKDN have significantly contributed to new sustainable enterprises and created jobs through long-term investments. Programmes in culture restore and rehabilitate historic structures and public spaces in ways that encourage social, economic and cultural development. In recognition of the AKDN’s long and substantial contribution to the socioeconomic development of the country, an Agreement of Co-operation was signed with the United Republic of Tanzania in 1991 and subsequently revised and endorsed in 2001. The Agreement, which facilitates the effective use of both financial and human resources, is a commitment to accelerate development that brings the greatest benefit to Tanzanians. http://www.akdn.org/Tanzania
