LESS than two years remain before President Hussein Ali Mwinyi concludes his initial five-year term in office, leading up to another general election for Zanzibaris in late 2025.

When he started his term on November 3, 2020, he was tasked by his political party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi , among other assignments, to generate at least 300,000 job opportunities for the youth, as outlined in the party's 2020/2025 election manifesto.

"I urge my fellow Tanzanians to maintain the existing peace and stability, prerequisites in achieving all development goals," he said, adding that having a new Zanzibar Investment Law No. 10 of 2023, as well as the amendment of the labor law No. 11 of 2005, has also helped promote investment and create a conducive working environment on the isles.

The availability of employment abroad has also been increasing from 1,080 jobs in 2022/2023 to 3,078 jobs for the fiscal year 2023/2024. Youth are helped to acquire jobs abroad, particularly in Middle Eastern countries. Last year, a total of 2.1bn/- was collected, but it is not enough to meet the big demand for the youth to get loans,"Fortunately, the World Bank has agreed to top-up by providing funds for the youth support program."
