8. Tanzania – $11,180,000,000

Tanzania’s 2013 Global Hunger Index was worse than any other country in the EAC except Burundi. Even though Tanzania is a poor country, it weathered the Great Recession (which began in 2008) relatively well. The nation recorded a government debt to GDP of 39.9 percent in 2013.

This $11.1 billion debt was calculated in December 2012.
