    The Government of Tanzania has, in
    recent years, focused on revitalizing its mining sector in
    order to attract foreign investment, with the goal of
    raising its contribution to Tanzania's Gross Domestic
    Product. With the support from the World Bank through the

    Climate change is a core development
    challenge in Tanzania, and the potential costs of inaction
    are significant. Current climate variability (including
    extreme events such as droughts and floods), already leads
    to major economic costs in mainland Tanzania and in
    Zanzibar. Individual annual events have economic costs in
    excess of 1 percent of GDP, and occur regularly, reducing
    long-term growth and affecting millions of people and

    inappropriate technologies and practices. This is also the
    case in Tanzania where over 90 percent of the population is
