AJIRA TANZANIA 2019 / NAFASI ZA KAZI 2019
Background
The
Government of Tanzania through the Ministry of Education, Science and
Technology is currently implementing the National Skills Development
Strategy (NSDS) to particularly address the issues on the current low
skill levels of the workforce, the future demand for higher occupational
skill levels in a more diversified and competitive industrial and
service economy and the need to scale up and improve the quality of
vocational training and technical
education. The NSDS is a ten-year strategy (2016/17 – 2025/26) and its
interventions are designed to have a transformative impact on the skills
supply system for industries with high potential for growth and job
creation.
Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF) has been
mandated by the Government to establish Sector Skills Councils (SSCs)
for six selected economic sectors namely Agribusiness and
Agro-Processing, Transport and Logistics, Tourism and Hospitality,
Energy, Construction, and ICT. SSCs are expected to be platforms to
promote public-private cooperation by way of collaboration with regard
to skills development for the said sectors. SSCs are part of the
governance structures of the “Education and Skills for Productive Jobs
(ESPJ) Program for Results”, currently supported by the World Bank
through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST).
ESPJ
Program for Results has been developed to address specific skills
challenges as outlined in the National Skills Development Strategy
(NSDS). The ESPJ addresses needs in respect of human capital as outlined
in Tanzania’s National Development Vision 2025 (FYDPI & FYDPII).
The strategy is closely aligned to the Education and Training Policy
(ETP) 2015, as well as to other policies namely, the Integrated
Industrial Development Strategy (IIDS) 2025, the National Employment
Policy (NEP).
The Institution
TPSF was formally
incorporated under the Companies Act (Cap 212) as a company limited by
guarantee on 4th November, 1998 for the purpose of promoting private
sector-led social and economic development in Tanzania. As an apex and
focal private sector organization (PSO), TPSF seeks to promote effective
engagement with the government and other stakeholders on matters of
policy development and ensuring sustainable provision of services to
members. It acts as a common voice of the private sector to advocate and
create an enabling environment for doing business and attracting
investments.
TPSF therefore commands significant influence and
importance locally and internationally. It has a unique position as the
government’s partner in policy and advocacy, public private partnership
(PPP), high-level dialogue platforms and National budget. TPSF has thus
stood tall and bold on many issues of national and sectoral importance.
