The Tanzanian government has stressed the importance of investing in leadership and good governance to enable public executives to provide better services to citizens. This emphasis comes as the country implements the goals of Vision 2050, which focuses on projects that benefit people socially and economically. Deputy Permanent Secretary in the President's Office, Prisca Lwangili, made the statement at the launch of a training programme on Sustainable and Inclusive Women Leadership and Management.
The six-day training programme, held at the Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Leadership School in Kibaha Municipality, aims to equip leaders with the skills and character needed to lead institutions that can compete globally. Lwangili noted that the government's focus is not solely on achieving goals through funding, but also on using institutions with strong operational systems and better management of resources. The programme targets mainly women leaders from public institutions and a few participants from the private sector.
The training programme is designed to build leaders with patriotism and nationalistic values, particularly during the implementation of Vision 2050. The programme's subjects are essential for institutional growth, which will eventually contribute to the country's development. Participants include officials from various institutions, such as NSSF, UWT, PPRA, and Tanzania Tea Board, as well as representatives from the private sector.
Lwangili emphasized that the nation cannot achieve its goals without participation from various groups in decision-making. The government has been creating a conducive environment for inclusive leadership while observing gender inclusion guidelines. The government's appraisal systems are intended to provide feedback on institutional performance and determine whether activities reflect set objectives.
The government's goal is to build institutions with executives who have skills and character, who will lead institutions that can compete with the pace in various sectors globally. Lwangili added that major reforms in the public service are being introduced to ensure the availability of an accountable, professional, and integrity-driven workforce.
One of the participants, NSSF Principal Compliance Officer at Nzega in Tabora, Grace Mutegeki, expressed her expectations that the training will improve her efficiency at work. The programme has attracted participants from Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, indicating a national effort to promote inclusive leadership and good governance.
The training programme is a step towards achieving the goals of Vision 2050, which focuses on projects that benefit people socially and economically. The government's emphasis on inclusive leadership and good governance is expected to contribute to the country's development and growth.
