Tanzania has initiated a nationwide program to establish district-level industrial parks and clusters, aiming to add value to various products and decentralize industries. This ambitious plan seeks to create millions of jobs, particularly for youth, over the next six years.

• The program targets the creation of over 6.5 million jobs and more than 9,000 new industries in six years.
• Minister for Industry and Trade Judith Kapinga announced the initiative, which includes a special investment plan to support 100,000 youth-led businesses.
• Eleven regions have begun infrastructure development for these industrial parks, with four already having completed the process.
