Tanzania: National disaster risk financing framework and implementation plan

The National Disaster Risk Financing Framework (DRFF) 2025/26–2030/31 aims to enhance response capacity, ensure fiscal stability, and protect citizens. The DRFF follows its core principles such as timely funding, risk layering, efficient disbursement, adaptive capacity building, and multi-stakeholder engagement. It aligns with national priorities like Tanzania Development Vision and international commitments, including the SDGs, Sendai Framework and the Paris Agreement.

The framework signals a paradigm shift from reactive disaster management to proactive financial preparedness, integrating disaster risk financing into national and sector development planning and budgeting. It calls for collaborative efforts across government, private sector, development partners, and communities to ensure adequate, timely, and sustainable financing for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery, thereby safeguarding lives and livelihoods to achieve Tanzania’s development goals.
