Years of structured dialogue
The CEO Roundtable of Tanzania was founded in the year 2000 by a small group of CEOs with a clear objective: to create a forum through which industry leaders within the Tanzanian private sector could constructively engage with government. Over a rich history of more than twenty years, that collaboration between the Private Sector and the Government has continued to enable the development of policies that serve the country’s long-term prosperity.
“The CEOrt promotes engagement with government to ensure a fiscal and regulatory framework that supports private sector development and advocating for Public-Private Partnerships.”
