About the Tanzania Inclusive Digital Economy (D4T-TIDE) project
The Tanzania Inclusive Digital Economy (D4T-TIDE) project, implemented by UNCDF with funding from the European Union under the D4T Programme, was launched in September 2022 as a four-year initiative to accelerate the adoption of digital financial services. D4T-TIDE aims to create an enabling environment where digital innovation can thrive by supporting entrepreneurs, fintechs and service providers to expand access to inclusive digital financial solutions. The project contributes directly to Tanzania’s Digital Economy Strategic Framework, and to regulatory frameworks that promote innovation and interoperability. Through its interventions, D4T-TIDE supports small digital financial service providers to integrate into the Tanzania Instant Payment System (TIPS) and champions inclusive innovation, ensuring that the benefits of the digital transformation reach women, youth and underserved communities so that no one is left behind in Tanzania’s digital future.
