No organized examination has been endeavored to comprehend disaster economic vulnerability and recovery programs in Tanzania; thus there is knowledge gap in this area. It is for this reason that this section documents and shares knowledge on disaster economic vulnerability and recovery programs using Tanzania as a case under investigation. The development of this section was founded on the hypothetical and ancient work study. To ensure an extensive hypothetical and experiential foundation for this work, desk review has been carried out to gather information from numerous secondary bases. This comprised reports and project papers and registrations. Secondary databases have been gotten from writings regarding disaster, economic vulnerability, and recovery programs. Furthermore the desk review reviewed reputable journals related to the discipline. Finally, the information gathered were scrutinized, polished, and modifed to match the requirement of this article.
