Dar es Salaam,  — The African Trade & Investment Development Insurance (ATIDI) held its Board meeting in Tanzania, underscoring the country’s strategic importance to the organization and reaffirming its commitment to supporting trade and investment across Africa. Held at a time of growing investor interest in Tanzania, the meeting underscored ATIDI’s role in mobilising capital, mitigating risk and enabling bankable projects that drive sustainable economic growth.

Opportunities to further strengthen Tanzania’s trade 

On the margins of the meeting, ATIDI’s leadership engaged with government officials, financial institutions, development partners and private sector stakeholders to discuss opportunities to further strengthen Tanzania’s trade and investment climate and mobilise capital for transformational projects. This included a high-level stakeholder workshop, “Enhancing Tanzania’s Trade and Investment Landscape,” focused on advancing the country’s financial ecosystem.

Hon. Ambassador Khamis Mussa Omar is Tanzania's Minister of Finance , stated that: “Unlocking Tanzania’s full economic potential requires strong partnerships that can mobilise capital on a large scale. ATIDI is a key partner in this regard, helping to reduce risk, attract private investment, and ensure that high-impact projects progress from the planning stage to implementation.”

 Meanwhile Manuel Moses, Chief Executive Officer, ATIDI, said: “The real constraint in Africa is not opportunity but risk. Without the right tools to manage it, capital cannot flow at scale. That is the gap that ATIDI aims to fill. As one of our founding member states, Tanzania has been central to our journey over the past 25 years and today it remains a strategic market for unlocking investment and trade across Africa. By reducing risk and strengthening investor confidence, we are helping mobilise capital into the infrastructure, energy and private sector projects that will drive Tanzania’s long-term economic growth and regional trade integration. When risk is properly managed, capital flows – and when capital flows, development accelerates.”

ATIDI is a specialist provider of risk-mitigation solutions

Tusekile Kibonde, ATIDI's resident underwriter based in Tanzania, noted that ATIDI is a specialist provider of risk-mitigation solutions that help to unlock investment and enable access to finance across Africa. By helping governments, lenders and investors to reconsider risk, we support bankable projects that deliver a tangible economic impact and strengthen regional connectivity. In Tanzania, these partnerships are turning opportunity into sustainable growth.”
