Key indicators in Tanzania’s communications sector show that the country has passed a critical milestone in its journey towards an economy that integrates Information and Communication Technology (ICT) networks across all sectors – the digital economy.
Fifth-generation (5G) mobile communications technology, which enables the delivery of high-speed internet services, covers 15 percent of Tanzania’s population. The technology, introduced in Tanzania in 2022, covered two percent of the country by June this year.
The digital economy depends on key pillars founded on infrastructure that ensures high-speed and reliable connectivity and technologies that promote inclusion and accessibility. Others are good governance and an environment that fosters digital transformation, including innovations that expand access and penetration of services.
Digital literacy and skills development at all levels, safe and robust access and use, a verifiable digital identification system, and secure and seamless electronic payment platforms also facilitate the digital economy.
