5.2 Structure for implementing the SME Development Policy: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005

The Ministry of Industry and Trade is the lead ministry for coordinating the
implementation of the SME Development Policy. Three entities are in place, all parts of
the implementation structure.

The Tanzania National Business Council (NBC), established by a Presidential
Circular in April 2002 and chaired by the President of the United Republic of Tanzania,
consists of 20 private sector representatives and 20 Government representatives
(Permanent Secretaries of Ministries). It serves as a dialogue forum to take decisions on
improving the business environment. The World Bank provides funding for the NBC
Secretariat; it convenes semi-annually.

The SME Forum is a national level public-private sector partnership for SME
development, led by the MIT-SME Section, which will convene annually. The
membership of the Forum is to be comprised of 63 entrepreneurs (three from each of 21
regions), Permanent Secretaries of a number of Ministries, representatives of SME
service providers, BDS and financial services providers, representatives of SME
stakeholder groups, development partners, and NGOs.

The MIT-SME Section has the mandate to be the focal point for implementation of
the SMEDP and other interventions related to SME development. Its role is to support,
coordinate, monitor, and evaluate the implementation of the policy in consultation with
stakeholders.

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.
