WHERE: Dar es Salaam / Dodoma, Tanzania

The president of the African Development Bank Group, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina will conduct an official visit to Tanzania from June 13 to 15, 2025, aimed at reinforcing the Bank's partnership with the East African nation.

He will hold talks with Tanzania's president, Samia Suluhu Hassan, with a focus on ongoing and future development opportunities for Bank financing.

While in Tanzania, Dr. Adesina will be conferred with an Honorary Doctorate Degree from the University of Dar es Salaam in recognition of his "outstanding leadership, lifelong commitment to Africa's transformation," and his contributions to the continent's progress.

Dr. Adesina is also scheduled to tour Bank-financed transportation projects across the country, underscoring the institution's continued commitment to infrastructure, economic growth, and social progress in Tanzania.

The African Development Bank's active portfolio in Tanzania is concentrated in infrastructure development, with transport accounting for roughly 66 percent of all infrastructure financing. As of May 2025, the Bank has an active transport portfolio of $2.41 billion across road, rail and aviation. These transport operations are delivering critical infrastructure to support mobility, logistics efficiency and boost regional competitiveness to collectively position Tanzania as a strategic anchor and trade hub in East Africa.
