Political Officer

Denmark’s cooperation with Tanzania has been evolving since 1963, making Tanzania the first African country Denmark partnered with. Over the past 60 years, Denmark has contributed more than 50 trillion TZS to Tanzania’s socio-economic development through Danida, and strong relations have been built between people and institutions.

In recognition of Tanzania’s evolving role on the global scene, and in line with the Danish Government’s strategy for strengthened engagement with African countries, Denmark is now broadening its partnership with Tanzania. In addition to development cooperation, we will strengthen our engagement through government-to-government twinning, and we are committed to stronger trade and investment relations, alongside a rich political dialogue on national and global issues of relevance to both Denmark and Tanzania.

To deliver on this future partnership, we seek a self-driven colleague who can contribute to the Embassy’s strong political network and ensure that we deliver on our ambitions for a mutually beneficial political dialogue on national and global issues.
