Tanzania
Public awareness of climate change in Tanzania is quite high and there are a number of innovative activities directly addressing climate change. There are also clear indications of collaborative work involving government, entrepreneurs, NGOs and Academia.
A general awareness, especially in the private sector, of the potentials and opportunities that climate change offers for innovation and entrepreneurship is also present. However, there is a lack of clarity on how to exploit these potentials and opportunities, and neither climate innovation nor entrepreneurship seems to be a policy priority in Tanzania.
