Tanzania
Tanzania has one of the lowest per capita income rates in the world, and it depends heavily on agriculture to support a population of more than 48 million people. Despite progress in recent years due to tourism and increased production and export of natural gas and minerals, a significant portion of the population still lives below the poverty line and lacks access to basic financial services.
