The Tanzania Trade and Investment Coalition (TATIC) aims to promote sovereignty over trade and investment for fair and equitable human development. TATIC has been working on analysis, awareness raising and capacity building on international investment agreements that provide for the protection of investors in the host countries and they do not impose any obligation on investors at the cost of human rights and the environment. The TATIC advocacy and research activities resulted in the termination of two BITs to date such as the Netherlands in 2018 and Canada in 2023. TATIC has been mobilizing other stakeholders, providing awareness raising, conducting research and advocacy so that Tanzania can terminate these treaties, or review them to ensure it is aligned with the principles of human rights. The progressive intervention that TATIC is continuously doing aims at promoting the economic rights of Tanzania through responsive investors and investment which adhere to international and national standards on human, labour rights and environmental standards. Furthermore, TATIC advocates for the implementation of the African Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) where African investors and citizens benefit from these investments and trade with each other. In so doing TATIC expects economic prosperity of Africa through free movement of goods and people across the continent.
