Special groups win 74.32bn/- in govt tenders

Over the past three years, more than 33,500 groups representing youth, women, the elderly, and people with disabilities have been awarded 3,466 government tenders in Tanzania. These contracts, valued at 74.32 billion Tanzanian shillings, were finalized between July 1, 2023, and the present. The initiative is part of a broader government effort to expand access to public procurement opportunities for marginalized demographics.

By facilitating these contracts, the government aims to integrate special groups into the national economy through increased participation in public sector projects. The program serves as a mechanism to ensure that public procurement processes are more inclusive of diverse societal segments.
