DARUBINI – TANZANIA BRIEFING – JANUARY 2025
In today’s global business environment, corporate responsibility towards host community welfare, particularly safeguarding and respecting human rights, has become a pivotal concern. The issue reached a watershed moment in 2011 with the development of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). These principles rest on a three-pillar framework: Protect, Respect, and Remedy, which underscores the dual expectations on corporates and states to ensure responsible business practices and human rights protections. This seventh edition of DARUBINI explores Tanzania’s ongoing journey to implement the UNGPs framework by developing and adopting a dedicated National Action Plan (NAP). The aim is to encourage sustainable corporate operations that align with human rights principles while fostering accountability and justice for affected communities.
“DARUBINI” is the quarterly briefing on “Justice, Human Rights, and Natural Resource Governance in Tanzania.”
