In this interview, Mohammed Salim, Commissioner for National Planning, Sectoral Development, and Poverty Reduction, Planning Commission, discusses how Zanzibar’s INFF transforms its development financing.

By localizing the INFF into the Zanzibar Sustainable Financing Strategy, the government has prepared 17 bankable projects to attract investment in key sectors like infrastructure, tourism, and the blue economy. The framework has also driven $5.5 billion in investments, improved tax collection through digitalization, and strengthened public-private partnerships (PPPs). These efforts are ensuring sustainable financing for critical development priorities, from education and healthcare to renewable energy and economic growth.
