Overview

Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF) is an apex and focal private sector organization, which seeks to promote effective engagement with government and other stakeholders in developing policy and conducive environment for doing business and developing the country economically. TPSF, therefore, commands significant influence and credibility both locally and internationally. It boasts a unique position as the government’s partner, which makes her a key player in policy formulation, public-private partnership (PPP implementation), coordination of high-level public-private dialogue platforms and National Budget. TPSF has thus stood tall and bold on many advocacy issues of national and sectoral importance.

The TPSF has been mandated by the Government to establish Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) for the six selected sectors namely Agribusiness and Agro-Processing, Transport and Logistics, Tourism and Hospitality, Energy, Construction, and ICT. SSCs are expected to be platforms to promote public-private cooperation by way of collaboration with regard to skills development for the said sectors. SSCs are part of the governance structures of the “Education and Skills for Productive Jobs (ESPJ) Program for Results”, currently supported by the World Bank

The ESPJ addresses needs in respect of human capital as outlined in Tanzania’s National Development Vision 2025 (FYDPI & FYDPII). The strategy is closely aligned to the Education and Training Policy (ETP) 2015, as well as to other policies namely, the Integrated Industrial Development Strategy (IIDS) 2025 and the National Employment Policy (NEP). ESPJ Program for Results has been developed to address specific sector skills challenges as outlined in the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS). In order to effectively implement the Project, it has been agreed that certain positions will be hired as follows:
