AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> THE Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF) has urged members of the business community to use a digital facility it has launched in order to easily skirt the current irksome red tape and corruption in doing business.<\/p>\n

The facility has been sponsored by the Trade Mark East Africa.<\/p>\n

TPSF Director of Members Services, Mr Zachy Mbenna, said recently in an interview with one of the local television stations that members should access the National Freight and Logistics Information Portal (NFLIP) for exhaustive information.<\/p>\n

No fee is charged for registration, but an applicant must have tax identification number (TIN) and a business licence, he said.<\/p>\n

The director said use of the facility would not only help members thwart corruption and red tape, but it would go a long way in fighting Covid- 19 by reducing crowds in offices, saving people\u2019s time and travel costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thankful to the Trade Mark East Africa for the sponsorship with the express view of facilitating vibrant business growth in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the facility would help encourage performance in hotel, lodge and food provision businesses and the hospitality industry in general.<\/p>\n

Mr Mbenna said the foundation anticipated challenges in strengthening the new digital system, explaining that even members themselves might not enthusiastically embrace the new system simply because it was something new.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also expect to encounter difficulties in eliminating middlemen who are benefiting from the current system,\u201d he explained. Mr Mbenna thanked the government for rejecting the lockdown option and allowing business to proceed normally. \u201cThis move has saved the nation from going through a difficult period while revamping a much weakened economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The TPSF, too, has a MSMEs Information Portal that serves to reduce knowledge barriers affecting access to and use of financial products and services by households and MSMEs. It also seeks to facilitate the creation and development of new business ideas and opportunities.<\/p>\n

The portal also provides an avenue for financial service providers to freely capture market intelligence about consumer\u2019s demand and develop product or introduce services that respond to consumer needs. The portal also helps to build the capacity of financial service supervisors by having access to opinions of MSMEs through online forums, thus formulating policies that respond to their demands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
