Dodoma (lit. 'It has sunk' in Gogo), officially Dodoma City (Jiji Kuu la Dodoma, in Swahili), is the capital city of Tanzania.
With a population of 765,179 as of 2022 which is projected to reach 1,000,000 by the end of 2026 (given the current pace of relocation of government organizations and NGOs), it is also the administrative capital of both Dodoma Municipal Council and the entire Dodoma Region.
In July 2024, Dodoma officially surpassed Arusha to become Tanzania's third-largest city by both infrastructure and population measures. In 1974, the Tanzanian government announced that the national capital would move from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma for social and economic reasons and to centralise the capital within the country. It became the official capital in 1996.
In 2023, the national government under President Samia Suluhu unveiled the new State House in Dodoma, marking the relocation of government duties to the city. Nevertheless, Dar es Salaam has remained Tanzania's commercial and maritime capital while also retaining the state house, Ikulu, and a number of government functions.
