The Small Industries Development Organization (SIDO) is the main government
arm for small-scale industries promotion in the country; its main budget comes from the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MIT).It has offices in 20 regions of the country28 and a
staff of 265. State-owned Industrial Support Organizations (ISOs) also exist to provide
business development services to manufacturing enterprises across the country, including
SMEs. Governments in each of Tanzania’s 21 regions, and the 130 districts within them,
are supposed to incorporate enterprise/SME development as an important policy tool in
their own district development plans.

A long list of other government departments, donors, NGOs and private sector
organizations are key actors in the development of the SME sector (see Annex 1 for a
partial list). One of the challenges of the MIT-SME Section will be to coordinate the
activities of all these players in order to achieve an integrated, focused effort for the
benefit of the SME sector.

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.
