Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>Barrick\u2019s North Mara Mine has announced that 20 companies will participate in its Local Business Development Programme to be implemented by Kengo Consulting and the College of Business Education (CBE).<\/p>\n

The selected companies are from sectors along the mining value chains such as construction, environment and agri-business.<\/p>\n

The objective of the programme is to strengthen the capabilities of local businesses to take advantage of opportunities in the mining sector.<\/p>\n

President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Bristow said the program was a further demonstration of Barrick\u2019s commitment to developing local capabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we began operating the mine, we have been engaging the communities around our operations by working on a local supplier strategy to advance local content and create sustainable economic opportunities for the surrounding and broader national economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

To date, Barrick has invested 73 per cent of its total spend with local companies, of which 44 per cent being with local businesses.<\/p>\n

A key community focus is to invest in sustainable economic development and the programme will contribute substantially to this.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Local Business Development programme will be a game-changer in the mining sector supply chain and we expect the capacity of participating enterprises to improve significantly and exploit the opportunities in the value chain,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The government developed the local content policy primarily targeting the mining, oil and gas sectors in 2015 to ensure that mineral extraction and revenues benefit Tanzanians.<\/p>\n

The policy and subsequent regulations aim to foster economic diversification and business linkages within the country\u2019s economy enhance job creation through encouraging the development of local expertise.<\/p>\n

The sector\u2019s contribution to the economy is forecast to reach 10 per cent of the GDP by 2025.<\/p>\n
