TANZANIA Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA) has been challenged to unleash business opportunities and exploit them for the country's economic growth and development.
Speaking at the opening of the TCCA Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Dar es Salaam over the weekend, the Executive Secretary of Tanzania National Business Council (TNBC), Mr Raymond Mbilinyi said the chamber had all potentials to tap the existing opportunities.
"You (TCCIA) have to recognize that the private sector has a great role to contribute to the national economic growth," Mbilinyi said. He said TCCIA had a countrywide network which if used properly, could help businesses to grow.
"We are now finalising the preparations of National Smart Partnership Dialogue that will pave the way to vision of National Development 2025," he said, adding TNBC has been tasked to co-ordinate the dialogue. According to the business council boss, TNBC will be meeting TCCIA to chart out strategies that would help to make development headway.
He said the government recognizes the contribution of private sector in economic growth, but much has to be done. "It my belief that TCCIA is here to empower small and medium entrepreneurs (SMEs) so that they can do business with big investors," he said.
Earlier, the TCCIA president, Mr. Aloyce Mwamanga, said the association had tried to supervise regional chambers to perform. "We as leaders our major role is to ensure our members work and look at their business environment if you can allow them to grow," he said.
