Given that Tanzania exports continue to play an important role in the economic development of the East African country, visible steps have been taken over the last few years to develop some of the country’s sub-sectors including agro-processing, manufacturing and mineral activities in an effort to accommodate the growing demand for these exports from neighboring countries.

According to the Executive Director of the Tanzania Investment Center (TIC), Emmanuel Ole Naiko, who spoke during the Sixth International Conference on ICT for Development, Education and Training that was recently held in Dar es Salaam, investments in the country will increase and the country will become a regional leader in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector if the country’s competitive advantages are fully exploited.
