Sherehe za maadhimisho hayo zimefanyika makao makuu ya Benki ya CRDB zikifunguliwa na Afisa Mkuu wake wa Uendeshaji, Bruce Mwile aliyesema kuwa kipaumbele chao siku zote ni kumhudumia Mtanzania na kuhakikisha anaboresha maisha yake kwa kumpa huduma zinazoendana na kukidhi mahitaji yake.

Ili kukuza ujasiriamali, Mwile amesema Benki ya CRDB inatambua kuwa shughuli zake zikichangia asilimia 27 ya Pato la Taifa na ili itoe mchango wake ipasavyo kunahitajika huduma na mifumo shirikishi itakayowasaidia wajasiriamali kuyafikia malengo waliyojiwekea.

“Kutokana mikakati tuliyojiwekea, Benki yetu imekuwa kinara katika uwezeshaji wajasiriamali kwani hadi Mei 2024 tulikuwa tumetoa zaidi ya shilingi bilioni 995.346 kwa zaidi ya wajasiriamali 21,470 katika sekta mbalimbali ikiwamo sekta ya kilimo, ujenzi na makazi, miundombinu, usafirishaji, afya, elimu, nishati, madini, biashara na viwanda, pamoja na uchumi wa buluu ili kuimarisha shughuli zao,” amesema Mwile.

Mwile amesema sekta ya ujasiriamali imekuwa kichocheo kikubwa cha ukuaji wa uchumi wa mataifa mengi duniani kwa kuchochea ubunifu na uanzishaji biashara mpya ambazo huongeza ajira na kuimarisha kipato cha watu binafsi na jamii kwa ujumla.

“Kwa kuanzisha biashara ndogo na za kati, wajasiriamali huchangia moja kwa moja kwenye ukuaji wa pato la Taifa na kuongeza mapato ya serikali kupitia kodi. Sekta hii pia ina mchango mkubwa katika kuboresha teknolojia na kuongeza ufanisi katika uzalishaji wa bidhaa na huduma, hivyo kufanya uchumi kuwa na ushindani zaidi kimataifa,” amesema Mwile.

Taarifa za Umoja wa Mataifa (UN) zinasema wajasiriamali ni injini muhimu ya kufanikisha utekelezaji wa Maendeleo Endelevu (SDG) kwani kundi hili linachangia asilimia 90 ya biashara zote zilizopo duniani ambazo hutoa kati ya asilimia 60 mpaka 70 ya ajira zenye staha na kuchangia zaidi ya nusu ya pato la dunia. Tanzania kuna zaidi ya biashara ndogo za ujasiriamali milioni 3 zinazowapa uhakika wa kipato wamiliki wake.

Ili kumkuza mjasiriamali kuanzia ngazi ya chini kabisa, Mwile amesema Taasisi ya CRDB Bank Foundation ambayo ni kampuni tanzu ya Benki ya CRDB inatekeleza programu ya Imbeju inayotoa elimu ya ujasiriamali na fedha kwa wanawake na vijana pamoja na kuwapa mitaji wezeshi inayoanzia shilingi 100,000. Hadi sasa tayari programu hiyo imewafikia wajasiriamali zaidi ya 400,000 na kutoa mitaji wezeshi zaidi ya shilingi bilioni 10.

MATCHING THE RIGHT TV FOR YOUR SPACE: THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR

The era of buying “just” any TV is gone. Nowadays, a TV is not just about showing pictures and entertaining the household. It is all about decoration, minimalism, the mounting, the projection, and the sound.

Buying a new TV can be a difficult experience if you don't know what to look for. All the specs and acronyms can get overwhelming and, without someone right there beside you when you're shopping, you might be worried that salespeople don't have your best interest at heart.

Here are the things you should consider:

The space where the TV is to be placed

Do you have a TV Space in your room? How large or small is it? You do not want to buy a TV only to return it because the space is too small or too big to fit. Measure the space and determine the screen size you need. Calculating your TV size is less complicated than you might think. A TV's size refers to its diagonal length, which comes from measuring from the upper left-hand corner of the actual TV screen to the lower right-hand corner. Most are expressed in inches.

The size of the TV

TVs come in various sizes, but experts recommend selecting the largest size your budget allows. If you are considering getting a TV that's 75 inches or more, there's something you should know. According to Samsung Internal Research, a major reason for purchasing new TVs is the demand for bigger screens. And that even after purchase, satisfaction remains very high. So, has there been a particular screen size that's been on your mind? Then, now's the time to go big and never look back.

The viewing distances

TVs are marketed based on the diagonal measurement of the screen. When measuring a TV for your space, always take into account the bezel and stand or mount. Divide your viewing distance by two to get an ideal screen size for your space. The best and most immersive viewing experience is when the screen takes up 40 degrees of your field of view. This field of view distance can be calculated by just knowing the size of your TV. To get this suitable distance, multiply the screen size by 1.2. So for a 75-inch TV, that means sitting 90 inches, or 2.3 meters away.

The brand

There are so many TV brands in the market. Do not go for any brand. Go for known brands such as Samsung. These known brands give you a sense of ownership and prestige and assure you of warranties and having your product for long.

The resolutions

The general rule of thumb is that as the screen size increases, so should the total pixel count or resolution. The better the resolution, the more you see the image instead of the pixels. This is why buying a big-screen TV is highly recommended to go with a high-resolution picture quality like 4K.
