Stakeholders in the media sector have called on the government to enact a law safeguarding the implementation of Vision 2050, which is scheduled to begin on July 1, 2025.
The call was made during a meeting between the Minister of the President’s Office for Planning and Investment, Kitila Mkumbo, and Tanzanian editors, held on July 8, 2025, at the Serena Hotel in Dar es Salaam.
“We still have one year for preparation before the commencement of the implementation of Vision 2050. The government will take your input for having a specific law for the vision into consideration,” said Kitila Mkumbo.
Mkumbo was responding to concerns raised by editors, who warned of a recurring tendency to deviate from national visions. He emphasized that, unlike Vision 2025, which was only adopted by the Cabinet, Vision 2050 has been endorsed through a special resolution by Parliament.
Vision 2050 is set to be officially launched by the President of Tanzania on July 17, 2025.
