Dar es Salaam. Stakeholders have urged Tanzanians to view innovation as more than the use of technology, saying it must become a practical tool for transforming the country’s development aspirations into measurable results.

They said innovation should help create new ways of delivering public services, generate jobs, increase productivity and turn long-standing development challenges into economic opportunities.
