ZANZIBAR PRESIDENT COMMENDS ABSA FOR IMPROVING MATERNAL & CHILD HEALTH
State House, Zanzibar: The President of Zanzibar and Chairman of the Revolutionary Council of Zanzibar, Hon. Dr. Hussein Ali Mwinyi, has praised Absa Bank Tanzania for its contribution of 150 million Tanzanian shillings towards the "Uzazi ni Maisha" campaign aimed at improving maternal and child health during pregnancy and childbirth.

"Today, we have gathered here to support efforts to save lives through this campaign, which was launched in 2020 with the goal of raising 1 billion Tanzanian shillings.
"I have also been informed that in June of this year, Amref, our Ministry of Health, along with Absa Bank Tanzania and several stakeholders, provided medical supplies worth 262.6 million Tanzanian shillings for 28 health centers across five regions of Zanzibar. I would like to thank Amref Tanzania, our main sponsor Absa Bank Tanzania, and all stakeholders for their commitment to supporting the Zanzibar government's efforts to improve health services," President Mwinyi said.
In addition, he expressed encouragement to see Zanzibar on the right path to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030, which include reducing maternal deaths to below 70 per 100,000 live births, neonatal deaths to 12 per 1,000 live births, and deaths of children under five to 25 per 1,000 live births by 2030.
The Managing Director of Absa Bank Tanzania, Mr. Obedi Laiser, stated that the bank is providing this support to align with the efforts of both the Zanzibar Revolutionary Government (SMZ) and the United Republic of Tanzania in investing in the health sector, particularly in reducing maternal and child mortality.

Meya wa Manispaa ya Kinondoni, Mstahiki Songoro Mnyonge, ameipongeza Benki ya Biashara ya DCB, kwa kutenga kiasi cha shilingi bilioni 30 kwa ajili ya mikopo ya wafanyabiashara ndogo ndogo, wanaoendesha biashara zao katika masoko yalioidhinishwa jijini Dar es Salaam na Dodoma.
Pongezi hizo alizitoa wakati akizindua huduma ya mikopo ya DCB Sokoni, inayowalenga wafanyabiashara wadogo wadogo wanaofanya biashara zao masokoni katika Soko la Magomeni, Kinondoni, jijini Dar es Salaam.
Mstahiki Meya alisema uamuzi wa DCB wa kuamua kutenga kiasi hicho unapaswa kupongezwa kwani unaunga mkono juhudi za Mheshimiwa Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan za kuhakikisha uchumi wa wananchi wa kipato cha chini unaimarika.
“Serikali ilianzisha mikopo ya asilimia 10 kupitia Halmashauri, mikopo hii haitoshi kuwafikia wajasiriamali wadogo wote ambao ndio kundi kubwa, Halmashauri ya Kinondoni inawaunga mkono na itaendelea kushirikiana nanyi katika kuhakikisha mikopo hii inaleta tija katika masoko mbalimbali yalipo Kinondoni”, alisema Meya Songoro.
Naye Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa DCB, Bw. Sabasaba Moshingi alisema uzinduzi wa huduma hiyo unaendana na misingi ya kuanzishwa kwa benki hiyo, miaka 22 iliyopita ambayo ni kuwakomboa kiuchumi wananchi wenye kipato cha chini.

Dar es Salaam: Tanzania’s economic diplomacy and improved business environment have continued to attract investments, with the recently concluded first quarter covering July to September witnessing registration of 256 new projects.
The number of newly registered projects shows an increase of 100 projects compared to the 137 recorded in the corresponding period last Financial Year.
Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) Executive Director, Mr. Gilead Teri told reporters yesterday in Dar es Salaam that the value of investments in the Q1 reached 3.9 billion US dollar (about 11tri/-) compared to 2.1 billion US dollar (about 5.7tri/-) in the corresponding period of the 2023/2024 FY.
He attributed the success with strong commitment of the government under President Samia Suluhu Hassan in attracting and welcoming domestic and foreign investors into the country.
“President Samia, through her economic diplomacy and international promotion of the country, has prioritised the investment sector as a key driver in boosting the county’s economic growth and reducing poverty,” Mr. Teri said.
“As a result, Tanzania has emerged as an attractive destination for investors from all corners of the globe,” he added.
More significantly, Mr. Teri said the government has adopted the new Investment Act, 2022 which offers more favourable conditions for investors in ensuring that they get sound returns from their investments.
The Investment Act, 2022 gives fiscal incentives to the expansion and rehabilitation projects from which investors can enjoy import duty-free for capital goods such as machines and plants, while the deemed capital good can access the import duty relief by 75 per cent while enjoying non-fiscal incentives under the TIC.
The Act also reduced investors’ capital threshold for domestic investors to 50,000 US dollar (133m/-) from 100,000 US dollar (267m/-).

TRA Commissioner General, Mr. Yusuph Mwenda said the amount was the highest ever achieved by the authority for the July-September 2024 period since independence.
“The performance achieved in the first quarter is a positive indicator that we will meet our collection target by the end of this fiscal year,” Mr. Mwenda said yesterday.
TRA targeted to collect 7.42tri/- but surpassed this goal by collecting 7.79tri/-, equivalent to 105 per cent, for the three months ending in September 2024. In total, the authority aims to collect 30.04tri/- in the 2024/25 FY.
He attributed the achievement to the effective use of Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) and the implementation of Excise Tax Stamps (ETS).
