23 Gas and Natural Resources drivers Natural Gas has been found in Tanzania already in 1970 s. Today half of the 1000 MW generation capacity comes from natural gas. Even conservative estimates of the explored natural gas reserves off-shore Tanzania raise the country among the richest countries on earth regarding natural gas TZ soil contains also unranium, coal and numerous precious metals. Also oil is being explored off shore. Tanzania could become one of the richest countries in the world, provided that the deals on natural resources are carefully done and incomes are used wisely. 23
24 Two development scenarios OPTIMISTIC SCENARIO: Tanzania s development vision 2025 Tanzania is a middle-income country and welfare state, income from natural resources is used for the benefit of the people, investment in social development, education, healthcare and environmental protection is prioritised. PESSIMISTIC SCENARIO: New Nigeria / Angola Rapidly growing inequality, social problems, corruption, political imbalance, worsening environmental problems, uncontrolled population growth, living conditions in rural areas worsen. 24
25 The work of local NGOs is important. Important is also the work of TACOSODE as umbrella NGO. NGO working for women s rights in Mbozi, Tanzania 25

36 Julius K. Nyerere ( ) Poverty is not the real problem of the modern world. For we have the knowledge and resources to overcome poverty. The real problem the thing which creates misery, wars and hatred among men - is the division of mankind into rich and poor. The reality and depth of the problem arises because the man who is rich has power over the lives of the poor, and the rich nation has power over the poor nation. Our social and economic system, nationally and internationally, supports these divisions and constantly increases them, so that the rich get ever richer and more powerful, while the poor get relatively ever poorer and less able to control their own future. 36
