Why MSMEs are key to Tanzania’s inclusive growth

What you need to know:

  • The private sector landscape in Tanzania is dominated by Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which also serve as an important source of employment for youth and women, who are currently underrepresented in both the formal and informal sectors. Many of these youth and women are working in the agriculture sector, which is estimated to employ approximately 70 per cent of Tanzania’s workforce.
