Powering jobs in Tanzania

Meet Danford Mpalanzi. He works for Songas, one of the largest independent power producers in Tanzania. The business generates around 20 per cent of the entire country's electricity at its plant in the capital, Dar es Salaam.

Danford takes pride in his job in the energy sector because he sees how important it is to Tanzania's future success. It is vital to homes and businesses, yet only around one in five people in the country have access to electricity.

This short film has been produced by CDC, the UK's development finance institution. We are a majority shareholder in Songas' parent company, Globeleq, and invest in businesses in Africa and South Asia to create jobs and make a lasting impact on people's lives.
