TANZANIA CORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEX 2020

Transparency International, the global coalition against corruption, has released its 2020 Corruption Perception Index (CPI), ranking Tanzania 94th over 180 countries, with an overall rating of 38/100.

The same rating was achieved by Ethiopia in Africa, and by Brazil, Kazakhstan, Peru, Serbia, Sri Lanka, and Suriname.

Tanzania was also included among the Significant Improvers in CPI, moving up 7 positions since 2014.

Within the East African Community, the ranking was lead by Rwanda that ranked 49th with a score of 54.

Yet Tanzania did better than all other countries of the regions. Kenya ranked 124th with a score of 31, Uganda ranked 142th with a score of 27, Burundi ranked 165th with a score of 19, and South Sudan ranked 179th with a score of just 12.

On 3 June 2026 the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs and Development committees adopted, by 81 votes to 1 with 4 abstentions, a draft resolution objecting to the financing of a EUR 156 million EU annual action plan for Tanzania for 2026 and calling on the Commission to withdraw it. The objection, which still requires ratification by the full Parliament plenary, cites the unresolved aftermath of the October 2025 elections, including a national inquiry that acknowledged at least 518 deaths, and Tanzania's refusal of a May 2026 visit by the Parliament's human rights subcommittee.
