Jenista Joakim Mhagama (pictured ) will officiate a National Roundtable Dialogue on Enhancing Local Content and Local Participation for Effective Industrialisation in Tanzania today.

The event, which will run for two days from the 24^th-25^th May, 2018, is organised by UONGOZI Institute in collaboration with the National Economic Empowerment Council (NEEC) in the Prime Minister’s Office.

According to a statement released by UONGOZI Institute, the objective is to create a common understanding among key stakeholders on the concept of local content and local participation, and how it can be used to promote the country’s industrialization agenda.

The organisers intend to use the contributions and recommendations from the Dialogue to inform a draft local content strategy by NEEC, “National Multi-Sector Local Content Strategy”, which has a vision of ensuring that the majority of Tanzanians participate, own and benefit from investments.  

The two-day event will include high level government officials, private sector and civil society representatives from across Tanzania.
