Full text article available at. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-68836-3_42The main triggering argument for this paper is that although much has been aired on the practice of diplomacy in addressing the response conventional diplomacy to the Digital Diplomacy (DD) apparatus but little has been known regarding the impact of DD apparatus on the conduct of diplomacy in Tanzania, especially the extent to which DD apparatus can help achieve foreign policy objectives. In responding to this puzzle, the paper specifically, examines the status of diplomacy conduct in the study area, and assesses the impact of digital diplomacy apparatus on the conduct of diplomacy. A cross-sectional research design is adopted coupled with purposive sampling technique to obtain data. Quantitative data were descriptively analyzed by using SPSS version 24, while the qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Under the status of diplomacy in Tanzania, the findings reveal that both offline and digital diplomacy apparatus are used in conducting diplomacy and in accessing diplomatic services. For the impact of DD apparatus it has been concluded that DD has enhanced the ability to shape and frame diplomatic agenda and empower states diplomatic agents and missions. It is recommended that the United Republic of Tanzania has to conduct capacity building training on DD apparatus, installation, and maintenance of wireless technology infrastructure, and give preference to hybrid conduct of diplomacy.enDigital diplomacy apparatusDiplomacyForeign Service officersPractice of diplomacyConduct of Diplomacy in TanzaniaConduct of DiplomacyConference Proceedings
