Dar es Salaam. President Samia Suluhu Hassan will chair the 15th Tanzania National Business Council (TNBC) in Dar es Salaam today, where participants from the public and private sectors will deliberate on ways of improving the business environment in the country.
The TNBC executive secretary, Dr Godwill Wanga, said yesterday that the meeting will also explore investment opportunities through the implementation of the Blueprint for Reforms for regulatory reforms that are necessary for improving Tanzania’s business environment.
“Through this meeting, we will assess all issues that have been frustrating growth and development business investments in the country and come up with recommendations on what should be done to reverse the situation,” said Dr Wanga.
He said the meeting will review the agenda of the 14th meeting and evaluate the implementation of the recommendations reached.
It will also address unresolved challenges and propose suggestions to enhance development progress.
“In the previous meeting, members made recommendations on areas that were observed as hindrances to the business environment’s growth,” he said.
He said President Samia provided instructions to relevant officials to address these challenges.
“Now, in this meeting, we will assess where difficulties arose and what should be done to eliminate these issues.”
Dr Wanga added that among the many topics to be discussed is the participation of citizens in strategic projects, where the meeting will review how citizens are prioritised in the implementation of these projects.
Additionally, the meeting will address economic transformation through digital technology, which will benefit many citizens by enabling them to reach a larger population that is currently difficult to access promptly.
President Samia had emphasised the integration of government institutional systems to ensure that all necessary services reach citizens promptly through digital systems.
“This will facilitate service delivery and attract investment to the country,” said Dr Wanga.
The TNBC has been an important platform for dialogue between the public and private sectors, working towards consensus on social and economic issues for the sustainable development and prosperity of the nation.
