On July 28, 2026, the Immigration Department of Tanzania announced the deployment of a new public-awareness campaign titled 'Know Your Neighbour' in the Kilimanjaro region. The initiative targets tour operators, border agencies, and corporate consultants to curb illegal entry and safeguard national security through key transit points.
The campaign aims to educate stakeholders on identifying and reporting suspicious activities, enhancing cooperation between immigration officials and local businesses. According to a department spokesperson, the program includes training sessions and informational materials distributed at border crossings and tourist hubs.
No specific statistics on illegal entry rates or campaign costs were provided in the announcement. The initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen border management in Tanzania, which shares borders with eight countries.
