Today, we celebrate the creativity, grit, and leadership of young people across Tanzania and around the world.

Fresh off the energy of our International Youth Day Pre-Event Conference at Tanzania , one big takeaway stands out. Beyond different backgrounds and contexts, young people are asking for the exact same essentials:

🌱 Real opportunities to grow.
💡 Space to innovate and build.
🤝 A genuine seat at the decision-making table.

As Tanzania works toward Dira 2050, youth aren't waiting around for things to change. They are already out there building businesses, designing local solutions, leading their communities, and driving the country forward.

At Tanzania, our job is to back them up. We remain fully committed to opening doors through skills training, entrepreneurship support, and leadership spaces—because a prosperous future means leaving no young person behind.

Happy International Youth Day 2026! Let's keep supporting the generation driving our country forward.

🧱 Building greener communities starts with practical skills

Participants in the Regional and Tanzania Low-Carbon Materials and Eco-Construction Training are now putting theory into practice by learning how to produce stabilized earth bricks, a low-carbon building material that can help transform the construction sector.

Made using locally available materials, stabilized earth bricks offer a durable and cost-effective alternative to conventional building materials while helping reduce environmental impacts, including deforestation.

This hands-on training is equipping participants with skills that can create new livelihood opportunities, support sustainable housing, and contribute to a greener economy.

As Tanzania advances towards Vision 2050, innovations like these demonstrate how local resources, skills development, and sustainable technologies can work together to build resilient communities and support inclusive economic growth.

Through the ACP - EU Development Minerals Programme, UNDP Tanzaniacontinues to support practical solutions that create jobs, strengthen local value chains, and advance climate-smart development.

🔹 30% of all ASM output comes from Development Minerals
🔹 26% mine salt & building materials
🔹 66% are youth aged 18–35
With support from the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme, miners are gaining skills, safety training & business tools to mine better - and live better.
