Cooperative stakeholders in Tanzania will convene on April 24, 2026, in Dodoma to discuss governance and accountability issues affecting the sector. The meeting, led by the Tanzania Cooperative Development Commission, aims to promote ethical conduct and restore confidence in cooperative societies, ensuring they serve socio-economic development effectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong> <\/span>COOPERATIVE stakeholders are expected to meet tomorrow, April 24, 2026, in Dodoma to deliberate on key issues affecting the sector, particularly governance and accountability in the running of cooperative activities.<\/p>\n

The meeting is also aimed at discussing the state of the industry and strategies to address integrity challenges in the management of cooperative societies across the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters in Dodoma yesterday, Registrar and Chief Executive of the Tanzania Cooperative Development Commission (TCDC), Dr Benson Ndiege, said the meeting demonstrates the government\u2019s commitment to strengthening integrity and accountability within cooperative societies.<\/p>\n

He said the forum will also witness the launch of a special campaign aimed at promoting ethical conduct in cooperatives under the slogan \u201cLinda Ushirika, Chagua Uadilifu\u201d (Protect Cooperatives, Choose Integrity).<\/p>\n

The campaign will be officially launched by the Minister for Agriculture, Mr Daniel Chongolo, who will be the guest of honour.<\/p>\n

Dr Ndiege said the initiative is intended to build a strong foundation of accountability, fairness and good governance in the cooperative sector.<\/p>\n

He added that the meeting also seeks to strengthen collaboration among stakeholders in protecting the interests of cooperative members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis meeting is also aimed at restoring stakeholders\u2019 confidence in cooperative societies and ensuring that the sector continues to serve as a reliable tool for the socio-economic development of wananchi and the nation at large,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The meeting will bring together a wide range of stakeholders, including leaders of cooperative societies, government officials, auditors, service providers, politicians and representatives from civil society organisations.<\/p>\n

Cooperatives have played a significant role in Tanzania’s socio-economic landscape, providing essential services and support to communities. However, challenges related to governance and accountability have emerged, prompting the need for discussions among stakeholders to enhance integrity within the sector. The government’s commitment to improving cooperative management reflects a broader effort to ensure these organizations contribute positively to national development and community welfare. Historical issues of mismanagement and lack of transparency have necessitated initiatives aimed at restoring trust and promoting ethical practices in cooperative societies.<\/p>\n
