This document proposes establishing the Youth Association Bank in Tanzania to address youth unemployment and underemployment challenges. A Small Giant Group conducted research that found over 11.5% of Tanzania's population, or 6.9 million youth, face these issues. The bank aims to provide loans to small businesses and graduates to allow youth to pursue self-employment. It is seeking $600,000 in funding to launch in Morogoro and later expand nationwide. The research found most youth cannot access capital from other banks and are unemployed due to a lack of startup opportunities. Over 95% of respondents supported establishing this youth-led bank and agreed access to loans could boost self-employment. The organizers believe the bank can help achieve Tanz

ABSTRACT
A Small Giant Group (ASGROUP) we are Graduates from Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) in
Tanzania, we were organized as a Community Bases Organization (CBO) to solve community
challenges and now we are seeking a support of USD$600,000 to establish an incredible project for
youth in Morogoro – Tanzania (Youth Association Bank), a Bank that will create YOUTH ECONOMIC
ZONE and bring them come and work together in the country. Youth Association Bank will look for
youth financial challenges. A Small Giant Group we are interested to serve a large group of more than 5
million youth in the country who left on the street with no where to work/jobless, a group which is
currently termed as a BUS OF NOWHERE. Youth Association Bank will be there to empower, inspire,
motivate and able to create youth platform in the country, a place where will be eligible for youth to get
support in all sectors of development such as Agriculture, Arts, Tourism, minerals, electricity, education
and support business growth and etc at low requirements and low rate interest of less than ten percent,
and facilitate the establishment of youth platform to discuss their matters which are currently not. Here
is a simple report based on a research we made from the targeted group of age between 18 – 40 from the
community around Tanzania, concerning the idea of Establishing Youth Association Bank in Morogoro
– Tanzania through Google form(online Questionnaire), where a total of 136 youth were fortunately to
fill out our research form (20%female and 80%male),from that of age between 18 – 30 where 85.7% and
of age between 30 – 41 where 13.5% and of age above 41+ where 0.8% of all respondents. From that
research only 22.2% already employed, 29.9% self employed, 17.9% jobless and 29.9% University
continuing students and on that 80.6% of all respondents responded that majority of youth they are
jobless because have no where to access a starting capital and 19.4% responded that majority are faced
with fear conciseness to adopt self employment. Further more from that research 84.2% of all
respondents said that, not easy for youth to access a financial support from any Bank that offer financial
services due to the reason of trust. Also from that research 79.5% of all respondents recommended that
majority of youth are currently unconditionally forced to involve on gambling games like sport bet and
other unproductive stuff because they have nothing to do rather than that and 88% of all respondents
complained over government policies in relation to youth growth support as most organs that look for
youth challenges has political charters so they do not serve anything in by considering we now in a
changed world of 21 Millennium. Then from that research over 88.1% of all respondents responded that
if could be an easy way for youth to access initial capital; this can help them to adopt self – employment
than to left on street of nothing to do (with no direction), by kept on streets waiting for government
employment. Concerning the current world of 60 million Tanzanian those are kept increasing with
3.11% each year and 7.9 billion people globally by estimate, so depending on government employment
3. ii
today is not a deal anymore today (World Meter, 2019). AsGroup team, to make this Bank possible from
only youth out other supports, we was highlighted that if 3000 youth (employed, self – employed,
graduates and continuing students) in Tanzania can manage to come together and share at least an
amount of US$ 174 each can bring a total of US$ 522,000, from that amount we can have such idea
possible. From the research we made Over 95.4% of all respondents accepted the proposal to establish
Youth Association Bank and over 95% of all who responded to that research were ready contribute an
amount US$ 174 each to facilitate the establishment and have shares to that bank. By having such non -
political Organ today (Youth Association) that will be lead by youth themselves can serve lives of
equivalent to 11.5% which is equal to 6.9 million youth out of 60 million people in Tanzania, around 64
million youth out of 1.7 billion youth, over 7.9 billion people globally as addressed from recent
researches are facing with the problem of YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT and UNDEREMPLOYMENT
CHALLENGES (ILO, 2019). ASGROUP team based on the research had the hope that the
implementation of this bank can be a breakthrough to youth unemployment and underemployment
challenges in the country during these days of critical time of global economic crumble of COVID – 19
and on. As an association we are requesting to be supported a total of US$ 600,000 to have this idea
implemented at Morogoro region in Tanzania. To have this idea done we need a very close support from
Government body, Non Government Organizations, Productive Companies of different careers, top
leaders of all fields, sponsors from any field, subject matter specialists in collaboration with all youth in
Tanzania and our Association over this idea and especially Tanzania Government. AsGroup after putting
this idea into the ground in Morogoro, it will be able to expand the service to the entire country for the
service to the targeted group. AsGroup we are 100% ready to have this done, so what we need, are
people and Tanzania government to support our efforts in any way. This idea started since 2013 - 2014
by Prof. Ole Gabriel under the Honor President Dr. J. Kikwete but couldn‘t put into the ground due fact
of political change. But now we as youth we are put that idea to physical reality, so what we only need is
the support of fund of USD$600,000 to have it work. Who will lead this project are youth, because from
us some have a high level of study concerning to that career. If the project will get supported, we expect
to start by February 2022. As an association we have a vision to create more chances for youth and for
others before 2025 by solving community challenges and make our country to be better place for youth.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
A Small Giant Group (ASGROUP) has 20 members of which 15 members are men and only 5 members are
females. The association was established by Students from Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) with the
interest of employing ourselves (create our own jobs) and for others on the time being. On the initiatives toward
self reliance we found over 11.5% which is equivalent to 6.9 million youth of all population in Tanzania
including graduates are facing with the challenge of unemployment and Underemployment problem, a situation
that lead to career abortion and career dissatisfaction to most graduates in the country (National Bureau of
Statistics, 2019). Most of them are jobless and some were conditionally forced to their current work places with
under - salary status (underemployment), here is where we started to do research to find the means that serve
many. From a simple random research we made over the country, a total of 136 youth were fortunately to
respond our online questionnaire, over 70% of all of them said are not free from underemployment problem,
and some are working with no work contracts from their employers. A Small Giant Group based on such
problem, tried to roll down and link the problem to two important goals (global goal by 2030) and (Tanzania
goal by 2025) based on that two reports written by Tanzania Government referring to two goals, On these two
reports highlighted that our country based on the proposed 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Global
Goals (17 UN SDG by 2030) and Voluntary National Review (VNR) for SDG Implementation in Tanzania both
were focusing on the fight of NO POVERTY and ZERO HUNGER in the country and further more to bust
peoples life in the country targeting to reach Middle economy status of industrialization by 2025 as illustrated in
(Fig. 47 – 51) of this report. But, the agenda here is how can we reach the country and global goals while we
have a large, trusted, productive group that are useless, and educated but do not put their received education into
practical use, and the mentioned group(lost group) keeps increasing day to day of no solution?. According to
National Bureau of Statistics (2019),The report show that Tanzania had submitted 2019 VNR Key messages to
UN DESA by 17th May, 2019, with the results indicated that, Tanzania is doing reasonably well in goals 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 8, 10, 16. Goals 7, 9, 11, 12 are likely to be achieved with stepped-up efforts among 17 SDGs. And that
report stated that among proposed 17 UN SDGs, Goals 1, 13, 14, 15 17 will need significant local efforts and
international support to achieve. AsGroup members based on those two reports plus the effects we are currently
encountered due to COVID -19 in our country and globally, plus a simple research we made concerning youth
current economic challenges, we decided put ourselves into charge to initiate the team that can look for a
solution over youth economic problems and come up with solution that can help that large group of nowhere to
bring them a breakthrough that will be against unemployment and underemployment challenges to among youth
in the country during this period of economic down time of COVID – 19 and on . Youth Association Bank will
10. 2
be serving and help for those youth with talents and passions to fulfill their dream of no bias of gender and put
majority to action and productive in the country through provision of simple loans to small business startups
and graduates. This will boost economic and creativity competition among youth in the country and globally,
particularly to serve their home and use their acquired education optimally.
1.1 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Youth Association Bank (YA BANK) in Tanzania will enable youth to have jobs ( Self dependence/ self –
employed) and able to generate their own income and pay their own life bills, school loan little by little after
they finish their study from their Colleges and Universities based on their careers without wasting time in the
street waiting for government employment. The project will be supplying small loans to youth who are
organized into eligible groups registered as Community Based Organization (CBO) of from 5 members, small
emerging companies to help them reinforce their projects, also the project will be used to empower, inspire,
innovate, provision of loans of farm structures, irrigations and machines, inputs and particularly to establish and
support YOUTH PLATFORM to enable them to develop a together discussion concerning their matters and
needs which is currently not. The project will be also focusing on supporting small projects from small business
start ups by provision of small simple loans of 2% interest rate to help them grow their business. The project
will be focusing to create a better financial system for youth in the country to suit the current changed world of
E – Commerce and technology development among youth in Tanzania. The project give more priorities to
Agriculture projects to in order rein force the government agenda of ―Kilimo Viwanda‖ in the country to bring
Agriculture Revolution in Tanzania via Youth by 2025 - 2023. The main objective of the association is to
involve in youth awakening process to help them able to shift their dependence mind to self reliance mind in
order to suit better to the environment of the current changed world and increase economic competition among
youth in the country and globally. By having this done will contribute to the Vision of Tanzania Government of:
Tanzania of Industrial Economy by 2025 and Goal 1,5,9,17 among 17 US Sustainable Development Goals(
17SDGs) through helping them to awake and supporting such potential and productive group (youth) to self –
reliance and become productive. The projects will positively affecting more than 5,000,000 youth in Tanzania
by 2025 of no job and those with underemployment problem of age between 18 – 40, to solve their financial
problems and able to drive their life standards and serve their loved one and their families. More enterprise and
business in the country are expected to emerge from here, to more effects to the National GDP by 2025 - 2030.
1.2 Youth Association Bank E - COMMERCE
In Tanzania we have no better E – commerce systems to support small business startups and graduates and
Africa in general (Ekekwe, 2015). Youth Association Bank will be focusing to establish and create a better E –
commerce system for fast and quick transaction in the country and outside the country to support businesses
logistics environment among youth and women.
11. 3
1.3 YOUTH PLATFORM
Information as was recently defined by the ancient philosophers and psychologists as ―it is the heart of the
matter”; it can unlock the door to the vault called success (Herb, 1982). From a simple research made by
AsGroup in the country found that majority of young men have no an organized site to get information
concerning emerging opportunities in time. This problem go far to a situation that even political makers are not
aware concerning the current youth needs based on the current changed world of 21 millennium. They have no
organized platform to address their needs and problems to help policy makers, to develop better policies based
on their voice than to be forced on policies that are no longer function to the current competitive World. By
considering to such problem among youth, Youth Association Bank will give a support to youth to establish a
Single Information Unit / Center as most researches as been advising to do in Tanzania where all information
concerning employment, sponsors, Grants and other related opportunities from public and private sectors will
be announced as a single source, information about NGOs that are funding projects in the country and globally,
information about Financial Funding Support Organization in the country and globally(youth App).A site where
information will be gathered together to enable easier access in time with no bias of gender. The bank will
facilitate the Establishment of youth social platform through different media for open discussion. Because most
research had recently revealed that Most Youth in Tanzania they lack Information on important opportunities
that emerge in the country and globally that can help them to put their knowledge that they acquired from
school to put them into practical use. Fore instance President loans ( ―Mabilion ya JK ‖ ),were released to serve
young men in Tanzania but most researches were revealing that those money that were released by Former
President Dr. Jakaya M. Kikwete during his time couldn‘t benefit the targeted group as was intended
(Simon,2013) because of not being well put awareness to the targeted group. The same time a former President
Dr. John P. Magufuri and The Current President Samia Suluha Hassan that had put an effort to provide sum
amount of money (TANZANIA YOUTH FUND) to every District and Municipals to support youth of new
emerging Entrepreneurs as a President loan of zero Interest rate that were intended to help them push their
projects, only few have that information concerning the fund and are benefiting to that fund but majority are not
well aware at all to that fund. Even to the system to get that money is totally politically (difficult to access from
the authorized people) So here you can see as Presidents from the government have better intension, with good
efforts to support youth in the country, but the issue is the information concerning to such supports to reach the
targeted group. On the end the authorized people to organize those funds to targeted group wouldn‘t fulfill
President‘s targets. AsGroup we are CBO since 2020, so we have such experience. So, if youth can generate the
system by themselves hope everything will be organized and available to everyone in time without bias and
unnecessary complications. Youth Association Bank will give a support to the important issues of information
right now to help youth because Information is everything now to this fast changing World.
12. 4
1.4 THEORY OF CHANGE
Why the idea of YA BANK are very important than other systems of today?
Apart from Collaterals needed by most Financial Banks in order to get a financial support. Also in Tanzania the
Government offers a financial support to youth (YOUTH FININCIAL FUND) to support those small business
startups youth to boost their business and their dreams, which is very good. But the challenge that arises from
those funds to youth is accessibility. To access that money it requires multiple steps and some limitations that
makes majority of young men to fail to benefit from those money and finally very few benefit from that money,
although the target of the fund is to serve jobless youth to get self employed. The system to run by step it is not
an issues, the issues is the level of understanding of the people with the authority to enable the money release to
the applicants concerning projects especially those from grass roots (local leaders). Based to this limitations
most CBO get die here. Even due the fact that most local leaders are politician, so if they have any political
differences the applicant application can limit only to the local offices and enough, AsGroup has this experience
from its area of registration. So, if that money would have reasonable limitations to small business startups
would be a big deal but due to its target, but due those limitations to eligible applicants make it difficulties to
access. Sometimes local leaders will give an advice to the applicant to change the business type to get helped
which is an issue to suddenly shift the business that you have already accumulated experience to now business
that you are not. AsGroup we were to so.
A presence of Youth Association Bank will be a bank that will create YOUTH ECONOMIC ZONE and bring
most youth together. Youth Association Bank will focus to support even small business startups of zero startup
capital at interest rate of 2% from the received loan. We will also be using local leaders as are always used to
other systems. Youth Association Bank will be supporting youth ideas, businesses, talents, offer materials and
machine loans to boost small industries and Agricultural activities, from where they are to another level of
development. Also the Bank will put more effort to motivate, inspire and to innovative graduates to get self
reliance by putting their acquired education into action. Generally Youth Association Bank will be looking
forward to support doable idea from both genders equally in groups without bias.

CHAPTER TWO
2.0 PROBLEM AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
Currently we are living in a very fast changing World, of great population of young men who are facing with a
great problem of Unemployment and Underemployment challenges in the Country and globally. Youth
unemployment problem, is currently a cross cutting issues (a world crisis), on which every country is struggling
to seek an absolutely proper way to solve this problem in advance while with no proper solution till today, while
a number of youth to the labor market worldwide are still ceiling day to day as illustrated on fig.22, of this
report (Buheji, 2019). Recent researches was addressed as 11.5% of which is equal to 6.9 million youth out of
60 million people in Tanzania, and around 64 million youth out of 1.7 billion youth, over 7.9 billion people
globally are facing with the problem of YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT and UNDEREMPLOYMENT
CHALLENGES (ILO, 2019). This lost group of jobless young men are currently globally defined as ―A bus to
Nowhere” From this crisis it doesn‘t matter how good they are, how much levels of education they have, how
resourceful they are ,which family they come from, how talented they are and other many, but due to their
diversity and weak existing policies to their governments, those jobless youth keeps increasing in number over
time, while their governments still with nothing to do, and finally those young‘s develops complains to their
leaders and start to see their government as a negative place, and finally to be used by politicians of other side
to develop violence in the streets. Currently there are more than 64 million youth who are unemployed
worldwide; most of them are from developing countries (ILO, 2019), as illustrated in Fig.18 – 45, of this report.
In Africa youth unemployment problem keeps increasing with North Africa being the leader where the youth
unemployment rate was expected to exceed 30 per cent by 2019 from recent research, which means that young
people will continue to be 3.5 times more likely than adults to be unemployed further more the problem to 2020
and other next this year 2021 is expected to increase than the normal due to the effects of COVID – 19 with
further development in Data technology and Artificial Intelligent (AI:Sophia, World‘s First AI Humanoid
Robot) (ILO, 2019). The current Population in Tanzania is around 60 Million people; such population keeps
increasing at the rate of 3.11 per cent every year (WorldMeter 2019). The increase in youth population has
opportunities as well as challenges. One of the challenges is youth unemployment and underemployment
(Agwanda & Aman, 2014). Youth unemployment in Tanzania has been a long - term and critical problem (Haji,
2015; DTCIDC, 2016 & Kiaga 2016). The larger problem of chronic underemployment and unemployment can
be traced back since independence 1961 and during a global financial crisis. So, a recent policy of free
education up to cordially secondary level and high number of new universities has resulted to large number of
skilled young individuals without jobs. Each year more than 700,000 – 800,000 new young job seekers enter job
market and very few of them get employed and majority left of nowhere to go (DANIDA, 2018). The
unemployment rate in Tanzania is officially 11.5% however it is believed to be beyond that number since it is
14. 6
masked by the tendency or culture of documenting the unemployed as ‘entrepreneur‘ in government documents
and after the current cold world war of COVID–19 and technology development. Most recent researches show
that the problem has been ignored to many years by the reasons that it was the fault of the youth who are labeled
as lazy and less creative. But in reality, youth are willing to work/ to be self employed but the issues is they
don‘t have smooth environment to make them work or innovative to put their dreams to reality. Most recent
research recommended that only solution can be from the government‘s to set good policies for them. Up to
early 2000s there was a big mismatch problem between jobs (employers) and labor(employees), especially in
Tanzania mainland (Haji 2015, DTCIDC, 2016)., however since primary education and Ordinary secondary
level education became free plus the opening of many universities the problem has changed. Most youth have
skills but there is nowhere to use such particular skills. In approximation youth from University have 5.5 years
of staying jobless while searching for job after University or vocation training Schools such as VETA (Haji,
2015). Youth unemployment results to extreme poverty, poor public health, low economic growth, gender gaps,
migration and high crime rate as well poor participation in social political activities in the society (Seleman,
2019).
A shocking event happened at Kilimanjaro to Middle of September 2021:
In the middle of September 2021, more than 500 youth were swindled of TZS. 200,000 – 900,000 each, with
one of an Unregistered Organization that promised to offer them some jobs, and finally to escape of nowhere
with an amount of more than TZS. 125,000,000 (USD$54347). That was very painful event to those affected
youth how gathered from different part of Tanzania and left in hardship situation of no even a single cent to
enable to get back home. If the situation is worth today, so how by tomorrow?

CHAPTER FOUR
4.0 EXPELMENTAL METHODS
4.1. Research area
Youth of age between 18 – 34 years old were used for this study from different Colleges and Universities
including SUA, UDOM, UDSM, GERA FTC, IGABIRO TIA and from most graduates dwelling in streets who
are ready employed and non - employed groups in Tanzania. A Small Giant Group members proposed the name
of the bank as A SMALL GIANT BANK (ASG BANK) a research carried out by using ASG BANK name to
represent YA BANK.
4.2. Preliminary study and survey
A research questionnaire was designed on blank papers of two pages with 48 questions of both closed and open
ended questions formats, the questionnaire on a paper was further converted to online electronic form (Google
Form) to develop a ―LINK ―for easier distribution to a targeted groups via different Social Medias:

5.7 Causes of self – employment failure to Most Youth in Tanzania.
Apart from policies that are not friendly to small business startups, to support graduates those are coming from
poor families to be self – employed based on an regulated charges(taxes), also the big problem is where to
access initial starting capital to enable them put their projects into ground (reality). They are not even trusted by
the banks because they are having no collaterals to protect them get funded. From this research 52% of all
respondents complain to the issues related to Capital accessibility as to be source of problem and another
around 28% of the respondents said is just due to being a situation of fear among youth on self employment
adoption. Recently many researchers had been focusing on this problem of Youth Unemployment and
Underemployment in Tanzania over how to solve it, with multiple insights and approaches over it with no exact
solution, many recommendations have made with no even efforts and others had fortunately put into action but
the problem keeps on. So, from this study based on the seriousness of the problem and the overhead vision of
the country to next 10 – 20 years later of reaching a stage of industrization and having middle economy in
23. 15
relation to the Global approaches on 17UN proposed Sustainable Development Goals and its adoption in the
country, we recommended some insights that the government, youth in themselves, Parents, and Educational
Institution should focus on to solve that complicated problem in relation toward winning the proposed country
and Global visions:

Youth Unemployment problem:
The Current Analytical Situation of Youth Unemployment problem in Tanzania (Seleman, 2019).
As we have seen already the current Population in Tanzania is around 60 Million people by now in 2020, where
such population keeps increasing at the rate of 3.11 per cent every year (World Meter 2019). The increase in
youth population has opportunities as well as challenges. One of the challenges is youth unemployment
(Agwanda & Aman, 2014). Youth unemployment in Tanzania has been a long-time problem (Haji 2015,
DTCIDC, 2016, Kiaga 2016). The larger problem of chronic underemployment can be traced back since
independence 1961. The current youth unemployment rate is 11.5 percent.

Poverty:
Tanzania Mainland Poverty General Overview (Nadia et al, 2018).
Over the past decade Tanzania recorded remarkable economic growth and a persistent decline in poverty. The
country‘s strategic location, its rich and diverse resources, its sociopolitical stability, and its economic reforms
over the past four decades contributed to its economic success and serve as a foundation for further building up
the economy. Continued government efforts to improve living conditions have resulted in a sustained increase
in access to basic services and improvement in human capital outcomes (though from a low base), which helped
to reduce poverty. After plateauing between 2001 and 2007, in 2018 the poverty rate fell from 34.4 to 26.4
percent. However, Tanzania‘s success is not unmitigated. Poverty was not reduced as much as the population
grew, resulting in an increase in the absolute number of poor people. In 2018, about 14 million people lived
below the national poverty line of TZS 49,320 per adult equivalent per month and about 26 million (about 49
percent of the population) lived below the $1.90 per person per day international poverty line. Vulnerability is
also still high: for every four Tanzanians who moved out of poverty, three fell into it. A large number of non
poor people living just above the poverty line are at risk of slipping below it. Beyond the persistent gaps
between urban and rural areas, there are large disparities in the distribution of poverty across geographic
regions. Poverty is highly concentrated in the western and lake zones, and lowest in the eastern zones. The
reduction in poverty was also low in relation to Tanzania‘s remarkable economic growth. The growth elasticity
of poverty in 2019 was indicated that a 10 percent increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth per capita
in Tanzania can be expected to reduce the proportion of the poor by about 4.5 percent—low compared to
estimates for other developing countries. This is due to both the concentration of employment in slow-growing
sectors and the dilatory transformation of the economy. The depth and severity of poverty also eased. For 2007–
18, the depth of poverty, which measures how far on average poor households are from the poverty line,
decreased from 10 to 6 percent—in other words, a poor household in rural areas, the amount needed there is
TZS 3,650, far more than the TZS 1,726 per adult equivalent per month for poor households in urban areas. The
low poverty severity index which was more than halved, from 4.5 in 2007 to 2.1 in 2018, suggests that
inequality between poor households is fairly low. Would on average need TZS 3,058 per adult equivalent per
month to escape poverty. Since poverty is deeper. But due to the circumstances of COVID – 19 in 2020 the
GDP will go down than the normal the fact that will lead the problem to raise again.

10.3 TANZANIA DEVELOPMENT PLAN, VISION AND INVESTMENT PRIORITIES TO ACHIEVE
MIDDLE INCOME STATUS BY 2025.
Figure 47.Tanzania Development Plan, Vision and Investment Priorities
Source: Tanzania Investment Centre.
Tanzania’s development aspirations are outlined in the Tanzania Development Vision 2025 TDV 2025) which
was developed in the late 1990s to guide economic and social development efforts up to the year 2025
60. 52
Targets.
1. Transforming Tanzania into a middle-income country, imbued with five main national attributes:
a) High quality livelihood;
b) Peace, stability and unity;
c) Good governance;
d) A well educated and learning society; and
e) A competitive economy capable of producing sustainable growth and shared benefits.
2. Transforming the economy from a predominantly agricultural one to a diversified and semi-industrialized
economy with a substantial industrial sector comparable to typical middle-income countries.
The original plan to implement Vision 2025 through five year development plans (FYDPs) was sidelined by
heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) process. Qualifying for debt relief under HIPC required the preparation
of poverty reduction strategy papers (PRSPs), which focused on delivery of social sectors
Subsequent acceptance of the importance of ―growth‖ as a basis for stimulating the capacity to finance social
services and reducing aid dependence led to the emergence, in 2005, of the National Strategy for Growth and
Poverty Reduction commonly known as MKUKUTA I, followed by MKUKUTA II in 2010.
Priority Areas and Objectives.
To mobilize and organize the national resources strategically in order to:
1. Nurture an industrial economy in a bid to transform
Tanzania into a semi-industrialized nation by 2025;
2. Accelerate economic growth while making sure that the quality of that growth will benefit the majority of the
people in terms of significant poverty reduction and job creation especially for the youth and women; and
3. Foster and strengthen implementation effectiveness.
