Dodoma

Waziri Mkuu Dkt Mwigulu Nchemba Leo tarehe 04 amezindua rasmi Sera ya maendeleo Endelea ya viwanda na Sera ya maendeleo ya jasiriamali ndogo na za Kati mjini Dodoma na kuitaka Wizara ya Viwanda na Biashara kuandaa mikakati ya kutekeleza Sera zote sambamba na kufanya tathmini na ufuatiliaji.

Mheshimiwa Mwigulu amewataka watanzania kujiamini na kuwa wazalendo kwa kutumia bidhaa zinazozalishwa hapa nchini ili kulinda bidhaa zinazozalishwa kwenye viwanda vyetu kwani vitasaidia kuleta ajira na kuongeza pato la Taifa.

Alisisitiza kuwa kwa kufanya hivyo kutasaidia kupata bidhaa zinazozalishwa nchini katika ujenzi, ununuzi wa samani na mahitaji mengine, akisisitiza kuwa hatua hiyo ni muhimu katika kukuza viwanda, kulinda ajira na kuongeza mapato ya Taifa.

“jambo hili lianzie serikalini kwakuwa serikalini inajenga majengo hivyo bidhaa zinazozalishwa hapa nchini zitumike hapa nchini’’’Alisema Mhe Mwigulu

ametaja vioo, nondo, marumaru na samani kuwa miongoni mwa bidhaa zinazozalishwa nchini ambazo taasisi za umma zinapaswa kutumia huku akisisitiza kuwa Serikali lazima iongoze kwa vitendo katika kutekeleza sera inazozitunga..

Aidha, Waziri Mkuu ametaka sheria ziangaliwe na kurekebishwa iwapo zina mianya inayokwamisha matumizi ya bidhaa za ndani au kutoa nafasi ya kukwepa utekelezaji wa maelekezo hayo.

Amesema jitihada za kujenga viwanda haziwezi kuleta matokeo yaliyokusudiwa ikiwa bidhaa zinazozalishwa hazitumiki, kwa kuwa kukosekana kwa soko kunapunguza uzalishaji, ajira na mapato.

“Tutumie bidhaa zinazozalishwa nchini kwa kujiamini, kufurahia na kujivunia, ili kulinda viwanda vyetu, ajira na mapato ya nchi yetu, pamoja na kukuza uchumi,” amesema.

Katika hatua nyingine, Dkt. Mwigulu amewataka watendaji wa Serikali kubadili mtazamo kuhusu sekta binafsi na kuitambua kuwa mshirika muhimu katika kujenga uchumi unaojitegemea.

Amesisitiza umuhimu wa kuheshimu mitaji na uwekezaji, pamoja na kuendeleza mazingira yanayoiwezesha sekta binafsi kushiriki kikamilifu katika maendeleo ya nchi.

Kuhusu utekelezaji wa sera zilizozinduliwa, Dkt. Mwigulu ameielekeza Wizara ya Viwanda na Biashara kuandaa mikakati thabiti, kufanya ufuatiliaji na tathmini, pamoja na kushirikiana na wizara za kisekta na sekta binafsi kuhakikisha malengo yanafikiwa.

Pia, ameitaka wizara kusimamia na kuratibu minyororo ya thamani ili kuwezesha jasiriamali ndogo na za kati kuzalisha malighafi na kutoa huduma zinazohitajika viwandani.

Alisisiza kuwa Serikali itaendelea kuimarisha mazingira ya biashara na uwekezaji, pamoja na kuboresha miundombinu ya nishati, maji, barabara na reli ili kuongeza uwezo wa viwanda kushindana katika masoko ya kikanda na kimataifa.

Kwa upande wake, Waziri wa Viwanda na Biashara, Mhe. Judith Kapinga, amesema wizara imeandaa mkakati wa utekelezaji wa miaka kumi wenye shabaha za kila mwaka, ambazo zitafuatiliwa na kutathminiwa ili kuhakikisha sera hizo zinaleta matokeo.

Amesema utekelezaji huo utawapa nafasi jasiriamali ndogo na za kati na kupanua masoko ya bidhaa zinazozalishwa nchini, hususan katika masoko ya kikanda na Afrika.

Waziri Kapinga amesema uchumi wa dola trilioni moja utafikiwa iwapo mageuzi kwenye sekta ya viwanda yatachochea ukuaji wa uchumi

Aidha amesema maono ya Mhe Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania Mhe Dkt Samia Suluhu Hassan ni kuona sekta ya viwanda inakua na kuchangia kwenye Pato la Taifa

📌 Directs the Ministry to develop implementation strategies for both policies and establish monitoring and evaluation mechanisms;

📌 Calls on Tanzanians to embrace patriotism and support locally manufactured products;

📌 Minister Kapinga says the success of the new policies will be measured by the number of businesses growing from small to large enterprises.

Dodoma

Prime Minister Dr Mwigulu Nchemba today, 4 November, officially launched the Sustainable Industrial Development Policy and the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Development Policy in Dodoma, directing the Ministry of Industry and Trade to develop implementation strategies for both policies, alongside monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.

Dr Nchemba called on Tanzanians to have confidence in themselves and embrace patriotism by purchasing locally manufactured products to protect domestic industries, create employment opportunities and increase national income.

He emphasised that supporting locally manufactured products in construction, furniture procurement and other areas of demand would be instrumental in promoting industrial growth, safeguarding jobs and increasing national revenue.

“This initiative must begin with the Government, as it is responsible for constructing buildings. Therefore, products manufactured locally must be used in the country,” said Dr Nchemba.

He cited glass, steel bars, marble and furniture as some of the products manufactured locally that public institutions should prioritise, stressing that the Government must lead by example in implementing the policies it formulates.

Furthermore, the Prime Minister called for a review and amendment of laws wherever loopholes hinder the use of locally manufactured products or allow institutions to circumvent directives requiring their use.

He noted that efforts to establish industries would not achieve their intended objectives if locally manufactured products were not consumed, as the absence of a market would undermine production, employment and revenue generation.

“Let us confidently use, appreciate and take pride in products manufactured in our country to protect our industries, jobs and national revenue, while promoting economic growth,” he said.

In another development, Dr Nchemba urged Government officials to change their perception of the private sector and recognise it as an essential partner in building a self-reliant economy.

He emphasised the importance of respecting capital and investment, as well as creating an enabling environment that allows the private sector to participate fully in the country’s development.

Regarding the implementation of the newly launched policies, Dr Nchemba directed the Ministry of Industry and Trade to develop robust strategies, conduct monitoring and evaluation, and collaborate with sectoral ministries and the private sector to ensure that the policies’ objectives are achieved.

He also called on the Ministry to oversee and coordinate value chains to enable small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to supply raw materials and provide services required by industries.

The Prime Minister reaffirmed that the Government would continue to improve the business and investment environment, while strengthening energy, water, road and railway infrastructure to enhance the competitiveness of local industries in regional and international markets.

For her part, the Minister for Industry and Trade, Hon. Judith Kapinga, said the Ministry had developed a ten-year implementation strategy with annual targets that would be monitored and evaluated to ensure the policies deliver tangible results.

She said the implementation of the policies would create opportunities for SMEs and expand markets for locally manufactured products, particularly across regional markets and Africa.

Minister Kapinga noted that Tanzania’s ambition of attaining a US$1 trillion economy could be realised if industrial sector reforms effectively stimulate economic growth.

She further stated that the vision of the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, H.E. Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan, is to see the industrial sector grow and make a greater contribution to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

During the event, the Ministry of Industry and Trade presented an award to H.E. President Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan in recognition of her significant contribution to facilitating reforms in the industrial sector. An award was also presented to the guest of honour in appreciation of his participation in the policy launch ceremony.
