PUMA ENERGY, AMEND WASHIRIKIANA KUELIMISHA WANAFUNZI KUPITIA MAHAKAMA KIFANI YA WATOTO

Mwanafunzi wa darasa la saba katika Shule ya Msingi Kibugumo ya Kigamboni, Munir Said Mussa (12), katikati, akimhoji mmojawapo wa dereva aliyekamatwa nje ya barabara karibu na shule hiyo katika ‘Mahakama Kifani ya Watoto’ kwa kukiuka alama za barabarani ikiwa ni sehemu ya kampeni ya ‘Be Road Safe Africa’ inayoendeshwa na kampuni ya Puma Energy Tanzania na shirika la Amend nchini.

Katika kuadhimisha Wiki ya Usalama Barabarani Duniani (May 12 - 18, 2025), kampuni ya Puma Energy Tanzania kwa kushirikiana na shirika la Amend Tanzania wameendesha 'Mahakama Kifani ya Watoto' kuhusu usalama barabarani tukio ambalo ni sehemu muhimu ya programu ya kampeni ya elimu ya usalama barabarani kwa shule za msingi ambayo pia inajulikana kama ‘Be Road Safe Africa’. Tukio hilo lilifanyika katika Shule ya Msingi ya Kigamboni, jijini Dar es Salaam, kuanzia mwanzoni mwa wiki na kuhitimisha siku ya Ijumaa ya Mei 16.

Awamu ya kwanza ya kampeni ya ‘Be Road Safe Africa’, ilitekelezwa mwaka 2023 na 2024, ambapo iliwafikia watoto zaidi ya 38,000 katika shule 20 za nchini Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, na Zimbabwe. Awamu ya pili itatekelezwa katika nchi za Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, na Afrika ya Kusini. Kwa nchini Tanzania awamu hii imezinufaisha shule tano ambazo ni: Kisukuru (Tabata), Kunguru (Goba), Mjimpya (Kurasini), Ufukoni (Kigamboni), na Salasala (Salasala).

Kampeni ya mwaka huu imewafikia zaidi ya wanafunzi 6,960 kupitia njia rahisi na shirikishi za kujifunzia, ikiwemo simulizi za hadithi, michezo - inayohusiana na masuala ya usalama barabarani na ‘Mahakama ya Watoto’. Wakati wa mahakama hii, wanafunzi hujifanya kama ‘majaji wa usalama barabarani’ ili kuwasaidia madereva kuelewa umuhimu wa kuzingatia usalama. Cha kuvutia zaidi, zaidi ya wanafunzi 290 wa chekechea pia walikuwa miongoni mwa wanufaika wa elimu ya usalama barabarani kupitia mpango huo.

Katika vifo 31 kwa kila watu 100,000, WHO inaripoti kwamba vifo vinavyotokana na ajali za barabarani nchini Tanzania ni karibu mara 1.7 ya kiwango cha kimataifa na juu zaidi ya wastani wa Afrika. Takwimu za Jeshi la Polisi Tanzania zinaonyesha kuwa mwaka 2024 pekee, nchi ilirekodi ajali 1,735 za barabarani ambapo ajali 1,198 kati ya hizo zilisababisha vifo vya Watu 1,715. Makosa ya kibinadamu, ikiwemo kupuuzia alama za barabarani, kuendesha gari kwa uzembe, na mwendokasi, vilichangia 97% ya matukio haya.

Programu ya ‘Be Road Safe Africa’ ni sehemu ya dhamira ya Puma Energy Tanzania ya kusaidia usalama na ustawi wa jamii, hasa jamii zilizo katika mazingira magumu na maeneo hatarishi. Kupitia mafunzo ya mbinu mbalimbali, mashindano, na uboreshaji wa miundombinu, programu hii inasaidia kuzifanya barabara zetu kuwa salama kwa watoto wa shule nchini.

Mgeni rasmi wa hafla hiyo alikuwa Mhe. Edward Mpogolo, Mkuu wa Wilaya ya Ilala, huku Mgeni Maalum akiwa ni Mhe. Dkt. Pindi Hazara Chana (Mb), Waziri wa Maliasili na Utalii.

Akizungumza katika hafla hiyo, Mhe. Dkt. Pindi Chana alisisitiza umuhimu wa ushirikiano katika kufanikisha malengo ya maendeleo ya taifa kupitia utalii shirikishi:

“Utalii siyo tu kusafiri – ni injini ya ukuaji wa uchumi jumuishi, ajira kwa vijana na kubadilishana tamaduni. Tanzania inalenga kufikia watalii milioni 5 kwa mwaka, na programu kama hizi zinahakikisha tunajenga rasilimali watu sahihi kufanikisha lengo hilo.”

Alibainisha kuwa serikali imeanzisha vifurushi vipya vya vivutio vya utalii, vikiwemo utalii wa chakula, ili kutangaza utajiri wa vyakula vya asili vya Tanzania:

“Watalii wa leo wanatafuta uzoefu wa kweli. Sasa tunawaletea vyakula vya asili vya Kitanzania – ‘vyakula vya asili’ – kama sehemu ya vivutio vya utalii. Kutoka kwenye chakula safi, kisicho na kemikali moja kwa moja kutoka shambani, hadi vyakula vya kipekee vya mikoa mbalimbali, utalii wa chakula utawawezesha watalii kujifunza utamaduni wetu huku pia tukikuza uchumi wa jamii zetu,” alisema Waziri.

Programu kama hii siyo tu kwamba inawapatia vijana wetu ujuzi, bali pia inasaidia kutekeleza dira ya serikali ya kugeuza utalii kuwa nguzo ya maendeleo jumuishi na endelevu.

Historic gathering positions customer experience as key driver for Tanzania's economic transformation

Dar es Salaam, May 10, 2025: The inaugural Annual Customer Experience Conference, hosted by Real Interactiv Inc. in partnership with CX Academy Africa, successfully convened on May 9, 2025 at Hyatt Regency Hotel, sparking a transformative national conversation about customer experience as Tanzania's next economic frontier. The landmark event brought together more than 100 C-suite executives and public sector leaders from Tanzania's most influential organizations, including Vodacom, CRDB Bank, NBC Bank, Equity Bank, KCB, TANESCO, Helios, Strategis Insurance, Bumaco Insurance, Engie Mobisol, ZIC Takful and NSSF, to establish customer-centric strategies as fundamental to national growth.

The conference opened with powerful keynote addresses from globally recognized CX pioneers. Mandisa Makubalo, Founder and CEO of South Africa's Unlimited Experiences Group, captivated attendees with her presentation "The Voice of the Voiceless Customer," demonstrating how authentic customer understanding drives market leadership across African economies. Her insights were complemented by Jonathan Daniels, Managing Director of UK-based CX Centric, who delivered a compelling analysis of global customer-centricity trends and their specific applications for Tanzanian businesses seeking competitive advantage.

A conference highlight was CRDB Bank, Yolanda Uriyo, Head of Customer Experience as one of the sponsors, delivery of an inspiring keynote address titled "Customer Experience as Tanzania's Engine for Growth and Differentiation." With compelling examples from CRDB's transformation journey, Uriyo galvanized the audience by demonstrating how customer-centric strategies had directly contributed to the bank's market leadership and financial performance. "In today's competitive landscape, customer experience isn't just about satisfaction - it's our most powerful engine for sustainable growth and meaningful differentiation," Uriyo declared.

A pivotal moment occurred during the fireside chat "Customer Experience as a National Economic Catalyst," moderated by Caroline Maajabu Mbaga, Managing Director of Real Interactiv Inc. The discussion featured Tanzania Tourist Board Director General Ephraim Mafuru, who articulated how exceptional visitor experiences directly contribute to Tanzania's tourism sector, which accounts for nearly one-fifth of the nation's GDP. "Every interaction - from airport arrivals to hotel stays - represents either an opportunity to enhance Tanzania's global reputation or a risk to our economic potential," Mafuru emphasized. His perspective was reinforced by Felix John, Investment Promotion Manager at Tanzania Investment Center, who presented compelling data showing that investor decisions increasingly prioritize service quality alongside traditional economic factors.

The conference's practical sessions saw Tanzanian business leaders share real-world implementations of CX excellence. Vodacom's Customer Experience Operations Director Harriete Lwakatare and G4S Tanzania General Manager Imelda Lutebinga led an engaging panel on embedding customer-centric cultures within large organizations, while Dorothy Ndazi, Partner at Hilton Law Group, provided crucial guidance on balancing personalized experiences with data protection requirements.

David Makoha, Country Manager for IPSOS Tanzania, grounded the discussions in empirical evidence, presenting research demonstrating that Tanzanian companies with mature CX programs outperform sector averages by significant margins. These insights were put into practice during interactive workshops where cross-industry teams collaborated on customer journey mapping exercises under the guidance of international experts.

As the conference concluded, organizers announced several strategic initiatives to maintain momentum, including the establishment of annual Tanzania CX Innovation Awards and quarterly leadership roundtables. A complimentary resource toolkit, "50 Practical Ways to Elevate Customer Experience," was released to all attendees and made available for public download.

Na kwa mara nyingine tunachanganya ubunifu wa ndani na uzoefu wa kimataifa tukiwasaidia vijana wabunifu katika kujenga biashara zinazoweza kupanuka, kupata uwekezaji na kuingia kwenye majukwaa ya kimataifa," alisema Zuweina Farah, Mkurugenzi wa Uhusiano na Mawasiliano wa Vodacom Tanzania.

Kupitia msaada wa Benki ya Stanbic, sasa najisikia kuwa na udhibiti zaidi wa fedha zangu na nina uwezo bora wa kukuza biashara kwa njia endelevu". Arnold Shirima, mkulima wa mazao ya biashara katika maeneo ya Usa River, anasema: “Huduma hii imenisaidia kupanga mikakati ya kifedha ya muda mrefu.
