Dar es Salaam. The National Tanzania Scale Forum, which was organised by the Aga Khan Development Network Agencies (Aga Khan University and Aga Khan Foundation), brought together over 100 young entrepreneurs from across the country to discuss and share experience in entrepreneurship.
For his part, the Director of East Africa Institute of Aga Khan University, Mr Alex Awiti said the programme was crucial because it provided the young entrepreneurs with the skills and experience about entrepreneurship.
“Today’s turnout clearly demonstrates readiness and commitment of the young Tanzanian entrepreneurs to learn more about entrepreneurship. This year, we conducted a similar training in Uganda, and in December, we are planning to have one in Kenya. The aim is to support the young entrepreneurs of East Africa to create job opportunities,” he said.
He further urged the financial institutions to be more creative in terms of structuring financial support to the young entrepreneurs.
