The Minister for State in the President's Office for Investment, Prof. Kitila Mkumbo, stated today that many Tanzanian youth have urged the government to prioritize economic growth and social welfare. They emphasize increasing employment opportunities and investing in better social services.
Prof. Kitila made this statement during the launch of the Regional Forum for the preparation of the 2050 Development Vision in Mwanza. He highlighted that over 81% of the feedback received so far in the preparation of this vision has come from young people from various regions.
Minister Kitila Mkumbo identified other key priorities mentioned by the citizens who provided feedback. These priorities include strengthening the agriculture, industrial, tourism, and social infrastructure sectors. He underscored the importance of continued public input in alignment with President Samia Suluhu Hassan's directives.
Addressing the guest of honor, Deputy Prime Minister Dr. Doto Biteko, Minister Kitila shared that 69% of citizens believe the country is on the right track. Additionally, more than 76% are optimistic that Tanzania will be in a better position in the next 25 years due to the rapid implementation of various plans.
Reflecting on the implementation of the previous vision, Minister Kitila cited the example of infrastructure development. In 1999, Tanzania had a road network of only 85,000 kilometers. By 2022, the government had expanded this network to 181,190 kilometers, representing an increase of 181%.
