5.0 Support for SME development in Tanzania: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005

The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania began its first major attempt to
promote the small industries sector as far back as 1966 with the formation of the National
Small Industries Corporation (NSIC) under the National Development Corporation
(NDC). The emphasis of the NSIC was to establish small industrial clusters, essentially
training-production workshops, which in 1973 were taken over by the Small Industries
Development Corporation (SIDO), and continue to operate. Development partners,
donors and NGOs have over the years influenced the regulatory reform process in
creating the right regulatory framework and institutions, and developing sectoral policies
and programmes. They have also implemented, and continue to implement, grassroots
skills training and micro-finance programmes to encourage income-generating activities.
It would appear that an inventory of these past and current MSME development
initiatives has not been compiled, nor has there been a systematic effort to learn lessons
from project assessments. This has limited the exchange of “good practice” models and
approaches.

In September 2002, the University of Dar es Salaam completed a report on recent
donor efforts on behalf of the DAC Private Sector Development Group Tanzania and the
International Working Group for SME Development of the OECD Committee of Donor
Agencies (Olomi and Nchimbi, November 2002). This review took stock of these efforts
and drew up lessons learned and best practices to guide future interventions by
governments, donor, and other agencies.23 The report noted that efforts should be made
to improve coordination between donors supporting the SME sector. Achieving
coordination at the governmental level is also seen as a critical factor in improving the
policy and programme environment for MSMEs (MIT, 2002).

As the world's only tripartite multilateral agency, the ILO is dedicated to bringing decent work and livelihoods, job-related security and better living standards to the people of both poor and rich countries. It helps to attain those goals by promoting rights at work, encouraging opportunities for decent employment, enhancing social protection and strengthening dialogue on work-related issues. The ILO is the international meeting place for the world of work. We are the experts on work and employment and particularly on the critical role that these issues play in bringing about economic development and progress. At the heart of our mission is helping countries build the institutions that are the bulwarks of democracy and to help them become accountable to the people. The ILO formulates international labour standards in the form of Conventions and Recommendations setting minimum standards of basic labour rights: freedom of association, the right to organize, collective bargaining, abolition of forced labour, equality of opportunity and treatment and other standards addressing conditions across the entire spectrum of work-related issues.
