APPP Background Paper 3. The investment and business environment for gold exploration and mining in Tanzania.

Abstract

Tanzania is the third largest gold producer in Africa after South Africa and Ghana. Despite serious shortages of human capital and inadequate economic infrastructure and regulation, Tanzania has managed to attract unprecedented amounts of foreign direct investment (FDI) during the last fifteen years. This report examines the factors that encourage FDI and local investment in gold exploration and mining.
