The event will aim to serve the following objectives:

Launch the final products on valuing water in Tanzania
Present some of the key outcomes to key decision makers in Tanzania and elsewhere
Generate an informed debate on the economic and non-economic value of water

Have you ever wondered how much water contributes to the national economy? Using existing methodologies to evaluate the case of Tanzania, specifically focused on three important sectors for Tanzania: agriculture, manufacturing and mining, the SDG 6 IWRM Support Programme is supporting the Ministry of Water to make a strong case for why water is undervalued in financial terms in the national budget compared to the significant economic value it brings to the country.
