The project also aims to bring together employees, employers, unionists, government representatives and the media to discuss socio-economic issues in Tanzania.

Mywage Tanzania is partnered with TUCTA, the Trade Union Congress of Tanzania (TUCTA) and the Association of Tanzanian Employers (ATE). 

How does Mywage Tanzania collect its salary information?

Visitors to the Mywage Tanzania website are encouraged to take the 10-minute Income Survey. The information collected here relates to wages and working conditions, and is fed back into the site in the form of accessible information. The more people who take the Salary Survey, the more reliable the wage data is.

In addition, each year one lucky person from Tanzania who takes the survey will receive a cash prize of a minimum wage – the equivalent of one month’s minimum wage salary. Click here for further details.

The foundation has websites in 60 countries around the world, including South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Wage Indicator Foundation works with journalists, IT specialists, academics, unionists and NGOs around the world to provide easy-to-use, accurate wage and work information.
