USAID works with the U.S. Department of the Interior International Technical Assistance Program (DOI ITAP) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service International Programs (USFS IP) to provide government to government technical assistance to the government of the United Republic of Tanzania. Technical assistance supports and complements USAID’s biodiversity and climate change programing in Tanzania, as well as larger U.S. Embassy mission goals in the environment and natural resource sector.
In Tanzania, USAID prioritizes climate change programming across its portfolio. The governments of the United States and Tanzania address the drivers of climate change through mitigation and using adaptation to protect people and ecosystems from climate change impacts. From deforestation mitigation to food and water security, to livelihood adaptation strategies, USAID works with government and local partners to include development goals with climate smart actions.

On November 23, the United States government held a reception to commemorate 60 years since the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was founded by President John F. Kennedy. For six decades, USAID has built its reputation as a world leader in international development by partnering with countries around the world to strengthen communities and improve lives.
USAID’s commitment to collaboration with the government and people of Tanzania is unwavering. We look forward to continued partnership, shared values and sustainable growth. Together we can achieve anything. Kwa pamoja tunaweza kufanya lolote!
