So, we will take the matter to our board which will work on it. We will bring you a draft of MoU to review it and make some improvements,\u201d Mr Mbenna said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, one of the members of the private sector from Tanga, Ms Devotha Cassian, said contributing to ATF should be part of the basic requirements when investors and private companies wanted to implement major projects in the country such as Tanzania Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), Julius Nyerere Hydropower Station (JNHPP), road construction, airports and bridges.<\/p>\n<p>She advised TPSF to encourage more investors to invest in pharmaceutical industries and anti-HIV reagents and treat infectious diseases such as TB.<\/p>\n<p>She said the presence of many pharmaceutical factories would facilitate access to medicines and save money spent on imports of such drugs from abroad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe presence of many pharmaceutical factories will increase access to medicines and thus save the country\u2019s money to buy such drugs outside the country. TPSF should take initiatives to promote ATF and encourage more investors to invest in pharmaceutical industries,\u201d said Ms Cassian<\/p>\n<p>Tacaids Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jumanne Issango agreed support from the private sector.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, appealed for participation and financial support from the private sector.<\/p>\n<p>Tanzania Women CEOs Roundtable founder and CEO Emma Kawawa said TPSF should use its various platforms such as the annual general meeting to promote ATF and encourage stakeholders to contribute to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
