Meneja wa Mahusiano ya Biashara na Serikali wa Mixx by Yas, Suleiman Asilia (wa tatu kushoto), na Meneja wa Kibiashara Kanda ya Kaskazini wa Mixx by Yas, Eric Sosteness (kushoto kwake), pamoja na Kaimu Mkuu wa COPRA Kanda ya Kaskazini, Famia Amiri, wakimkabidhi runinga janja (Smart TV) Mwenyekiti wa ACU, Shedrack Asseri (mwenye koti jeusi), kwa ajili ya urushaji wa moja kwa moja wa minada ya mazao ya kilimo ili kuongeza uwazi na ushiriki wakati wa msimu wa mazao mbalimbali, ikiwemo ufuta.

Arusha - Wakulima wa Wilaya ya Karatu wanatarajiwa kunufaika kwa kiasi kikubwa na upatikanaji bora wa taarifa za masoko pamoja na kuongezeka kwa uwazi katika biashara ya mazao, kufuatia kuanzishwa kwa mpango wa kidijitali unaoongozwa na Mixx by Yas kwa kushirikiana na wadau wa sekta ya kilimo.

Mpango huo ulizinduliwa rasmi kupitia hafla ya makabidhiano ya runinga janja (Smart TV) iliyotolewa kwa Chama Kikuu cha Ushirika Arusha (ACU) kwa kushirikiana na Mamlaka ya Udhibiti wa Nafaka na Mazao Mchanganyiko (COPRA). Hatua hii inalenga kuboresha upatikanaji wa taarifa muhimu za masoko kwa wakulima na kuongeza ushiriki wao katika mifumo rasmi ya biashara.

Akizungumza katika hafla hiyo, Meneja wa Kibiashara Kanda ya Kaskazini wa Mixx by Yas, Eric Sosteness, alisema kuwa suluhisho za kidijitali zinatoa fursa mpya kwa wakulima kufikia masoko kwa urahisi zaidi.

“Kupitia Mixx by Yas, tumejikita kuwawezesha wakulima kwa kuwapatia suluhisho zinazowaleta karibu zaidi na masoko. Upatikanaji wa taarifa za mnada kwa wakati utawasaidia wakulima kufanya maamuzi sahihi na kuongeza kipato chao,” alisema.

Runinga hiyo janja inatarajiwa kuwa chombo muhimu katika kurusha moja kwa moja minada ya mazao ya kilimo. Kupitia teknolojia hiyo, wakulima wa Karatu na maeneo jirani wataweza kufuatilia mwenendo wa bei na shughuli za biashara bila kulazimika kuwepo katika eneo la mnada. Hatua hii inatarajiwa kuongeza uwazi, kupunguza upotoshaji wa taarifa, na kuimarisha ushindani wa haki katika soko.

Kwa upande wake, Meneja wa Mahusiano ya Biashara na Serikali wa Mixx by Yas, Suleiman Asilia, alisisitiza umuhimu wa ushirikiano kati ya sekta binafsi na taasisi za umma katika kuleta mageuzi ya kiuchumi kwa wakulima.

“Ushirikiano huu unaonesha jinsi teknolojia na ubia vinavyoweza kufungua fursa mpya kwa wakulima. Lengo letu ni kuhakikisha wakulima wanaunganishwa zaidi, wanapata taarifa sahihi na wanajumuishwa kifedha,” alieleza.

Naye Kaimu Mkuu wa COPRA Kanda ya Kaskazini, Famia Amiri, alibainisha kuwa urushaji wa moja kwa moja wa minada utaongeza uwazi na kujenga imani katika mfumo wa biashara ya mazao, hususan katika kipindi hiki ambacho nchi inaelekea msimu wa ufuta.

Mbali na mpango huo, Mixx by Yas inaendelea kutoa huduma mbalimbali zinazolenga kumwezesha mkulima, ikiwemo Mixx Kilimo inayorahisisha miamala, Afya Mkulima inayolenga ustawi wa wakulima, pamoja na Kilimo Pesa inayowezesha upatikanaji wa huduma za kifedha kwa urahisi zaidi.

Kwa ujumla, mpango huu unaakisi mwelekeo wa sekta ya kilimo nchini kuelekea matumizi makubwa ya teknolojia katika kuboresha mifumo ya biashara. Kadri suluhisho hizi zinavyozidi kuenea, zinatarajiwa kuongeza tija, kuimarisha kipato cha wakulima, na kuwapa nafasi kubwa zaidi katika uchumi wa kisasa unaozidi kuwa wa kidijitali.

ABSA BANK TANZANIA TARGETS EQUIPPING 5,000 YOUNG WOMEN WITH AI SKILLS THROUGH ELEVATEHER INITIATIVE

Absa Bank Tanzania, in partnership with Microsoft and Women in Tech, has launched the ElevateHer AI Programme in Tanzania, aiming to equip 5,000 young Tanzanian women with artificial intelligence (AI) skills and certification.

The programme forms part of a broader continental initiative designed to train 50,000 women across Africa with practical AI capabilities to participate in the growing digital economy.

Through ElevateHer, participants will access free, self-paced online learning pathways covering AI fundamentals, AI applications in business, and career development in an AI-driven workplace. The program will be accessible throughout the year.

Absa Bank Tanzania Chief Operations Officer, Oscar Mwamfwagasi, said the programme reflects the bank’s commitment to ensuring young women are equipped with the digital skills needed for the future. “Artificial intelligence is transforming how economies operate and how people work. Through the ElevateHer AI Programme, Absa Bank Tanzania aims to ensure young Tanzanian women are equipped with the skills and confidence to participate in the digital economy and contribute to innovation and growth.”

The initiative builds on Absa Bank Tanzania’s ongoing efforts to promote women’s participation in technology, including last year’s GirlCode Hackathon, which brought together young women innovators to develop technology-driven solutions.

The ElevateHer programme offers three learning pathways: AI for All, AI for Business, and AI for Career Growth, allowing participants to build practical knowledge and apply AI tools in their professional or entrepreneurial journeys.

According to Tiara Pathon, AI Skills Director for Microsoft Elevate at Microsoft South Africa, inclusive access to digital skills is essential for Africa’s participation in the global AI economy.

“Inclusive economic growth in the age of AI requires building skills at scale in emerging markets. For Africa, this means making deliberate investments in women’s digital and AI capabilities. Through our partnership with Absa and Women in Tech, ElevateHer is helping equip women across the continent with practical, job-relevant AI skills that strengthen Africa’s role in the future of work.”

The programme is also supported by Women in Tech Global, an organisation committed to empowering five million women and girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) by 2030.

ACI FMA Tanzania Hosts Iftar to Strengthen Financial Market Dialogue

 

Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE), Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Peter Nalitolela (right), ACI FMA Global President, Mr. Rui Correia and ACI FMA Tanzania President, Mr. Farid Yahya Ally, serving iftar dinner at an occasion hosted by ACI FMA Tanzania in Dar es Salaam yesterday. The gathering brought together market participants, policymakers, and regulators to strengthen collaboration and promote a resilient financial market environment in the country. ACI FMA Tanzania is a non-profit organisation that promotes best market practices by providing financial markets practitioners with training, professional engagement, and certifications.

ACI FMA Tanzania has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the sustainable growth of Tanzania’s financial markets and contributing meaningfully to the broader development of the national economy.

This was revealed by the Association’s President, Mr. Farid Yahya Ally, during an iftar gala held in Dar es Salaam over the weekend. The event featured a panel discussion on the progress and challenges facing Tanzania’s financial markets and brought together market participants, policymakers, and regulators.

“Through continued collaboration with regulators, policymakers, and industry participants, the Association will continue to support initiatives aligned with Tanzania’s long-term development objectives, including the aspirations of DIRA 2050, which aims to build a one-trillion-dollar economy,” said Mr. Ally.

Addressing distinguished representatives from the Bank of Tanzania, the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, and Heads of Global Markets from leading banking institutions, Mr. Ally noted that as a professional body representing financial markets practitioners, ACI FMA Tanzania recognises its critical role in strengthening the development and integrity of Tanzania’s financial markets.

“Strengthening partnerships with policymakers and regulators remains central to our mission of promoting best market practices and ensuring that Tanzania continues to provide a conducive environment for both local and international investors,” he said.

The iftar served as an important platform for dialogue and engagement among market participants, policymakers, and regulators. The discussions focused on identifying ways to bridge existing institutional gaps and enhance collaboration in shaping a well-functioning and resilient financial market environment.

During the discussions, participants highlighted several challenges affecting the financial markets sector, including limited product diversification, complex regulatory onboarding processes, and the dominance of bank-led financing.

Responding to the concerns, Mr. Peter Nalitolela, Chief Executive Officer of the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, acknowledged that while Tanzania’s capital markets continue to grow, retail investor awareness remains limited.

He noted that although the number of Central Depository System (CDS) accounts remains relatively low, the market has recently seen an increase in new investors entering the bourse.

“While more investors are showing interest in the market, persistent challenges remain, including limited product diversity and market preparedness to accommodate growing investor participation,” he said.

Mr. Nalitolela also observed that initial public offerings (IPOs) have slowed not only in Tanzania but also globally, reflecting broader market trends.

However, he emphasised that Tanzania is gradually transitioning from a government-led economic model towards a stronger public-private sector-driven economy, a shift that is beginning to yield positive momentum in both capital and equity markets.

Meanwhile, Mr. Rui Correia, President of ACI FMA Global, announced that the association will introduce a scholarship programme for women in Africa, aimed at supporting female professionals in the financial markets sector.

“This is something we want to do particularly as we approach International Women’s Day. For this year, we will focus on scholarships for women in Africa, and next year we will introduce another initiative,” Mr. Correia said.

He emphasised that the association places strong value on knowledge sharing and professional development within the financial markets community.

“For us, education is not just about obtaining certificates. It is about sharing expertise, knowledge, and experiences across different areas of the financial markets,” he added.

ACI FMA Tanzania is a non-profit organisation operating under the umbrella of ACI FMA Global. The association promotes best market practices by providing financial markets practitioners with access to training, professional engagement opportunities, and internationally recognised certifications.

WANAWAKE WA NBAA WAADHIMISHA SIKU YA WANAWAKE DUNIANI DAR ES SALAAM

  

Wanawake wa Bodi ya Taifa ya Wahasibu na Wakaguzi wa Hesabu Tanzania (NBAA) wameungana na wanawake wengine kuadhimisha Siku ya Wanawake Duniani 2026, katika maadhimisho ya kimkoa yaliyofanyika Machi 8, 2026 katika Viwanja vya Barafu Mburahati, Wilaya ya Ubungo jijini Dar es Salaam.

Maadhimisho hayo yalihudhuriwa na wanawake kutoka taasisi mbalimbali za umma na binafsi, ambapo Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Dar es Salaam, Mhe. Albert Chalamila, alikuwa mgeni rasmi katika hafla hiyo.

Akizungumza wakati wa maadhimisho hayo, Mhe. Chalamila aliwahimiza wanawake kuendelea kutumia fursa zilizopo ili kujiendeleza kiuchumi na kuchangia kikamilifu katika maendeleo ya taifa.

Alisema wanawake wana nafasi kubwa katika maendeleo ya jamii na taifa, hivyo ni muhimu waendelee kupewa na kutumia kikamilifu fursa zilizopo kwa ajili ya kufikia maendeleo jumuishi.

“Wanawake wana mchango mkubwa katika maendeleo ya jamii na taifa, hivyo ni muhimu waendelee kupewa na kutumia kikamilifu fursa zilizopo ili kufikia maendeleo jumuishi,” alisema Chalamila.

Naye Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Wanawake TUICO tawi la NBAA Bi. Irene Mutagaywa amesema kuwa kaulimbiu ya maadhimisho hayo ambayo ni “Haki na usawa kwa wanawake na wasichana,” inalenga kuhamasisha jamii kuhakikisha wanawake na wasichana wanapata haki na fursa sawa katika nyanja mbalimbali za maisha, jambo ambalo pia linaendana na malengo ya maendeleo ya kimataifa kuelekea mwaka 2030 na ajenda ya maendeleo ya mwaka 2050.

Pia amesema maadhimisho hayo yamekuwa jukwaa muhimu la kuwakutanisha wanawake kutoka sekta mbalimbali kujadili masuala ya usawa wa kijinsia, haki za wanawake pamoja na mchango wao katika maendeleo ya jamii na taifa kwa ujumla.

Siku ya Wanawake Duniani huadhimishwa kila mwaka tarehe 8 Machi, ikiwa ni siku maalum ya kutambua mchango wa wanawake katika jamii na kuendelea kuhamasisha usawa wa kijinsia.

Historia ya siku hiyo inaanzia mwaka 1908, ambapo wanawake takribani 15,000 waliandamana katika mji wa New York, Marekani, wakidai kupunguziwa muda wa kazi, ujira wa kuridhisha na haki ya kupiga kura. Mwaka uliofuata, chama cha kisoshalisti cha Amerika kilitangaza siku ya kwanza ya kitaifa ya wanawake.

Wazo la kuifanya kuwa Siku ya Wanawake Kimataifa lilianzishwa mwaka 1910 na mwanaharakati wa haki za wanawake Clara Zetkin, wakati wa mkutano wa kimataifa wa wafanyakazi wanawake uliofanyika Copenhagen, Denmark.

Picha mbalimbali za matukio ya wafanyakazi wanawake wa Bodi ya Taifa ya Wahasibu na Wakaguzi wa Hesabu Tanzania (NBAA) katika maadhimisho ya Siku ya wanawake Kimataifa yaliyofanyika Machi 08, 2025 katika Viwanja vya Barafu Mburahati, Wilaya ya Ubungo jijini Dar es Salaam.
