Dar es Salaam. The ongoing expansion of the ICT sector, particularly through government-backed innovation hubs, presents a golden opportunity to turn the unemployment crisis into a chance for economic growth and job creation, experts say.
This comes when, a few weeks ago, Tanzania witnessed the rise of jobless young people who have started forming informal groups, demanding employment, a situation experts said needed an immediate remedy before the bomb blasts.
