Pichani ni Katibu Mkuu Wizara ya Maliasili na Utalii na Mwenyekiti Kamati ya Kutangaza Tanzania Royal Tour Dkt.Hassan Abbasi akizungumza na waandishi wa Habari kwenye ukumbi wa Habari Maelezo Jijini Dodoma.


Katibu Mkuu Wizara ya Maliasili na Utalii na Mwenyekiti Kamati ya Kutangaza Tanzania Royal Tour Dkt.Hassan Abbasi amesema mapato ya utalii yameongezeka maradufu kutokana na watalii kuongezeka nchini ikiwa ni matunda ya Royal Tour, ambapo mapato ya jumla ya sekta ya utalii yameongezeka kutoka Trilioni 3.01 mwaka 2021 hadi Trilioni 5.82 na kuifanyaTANAPA na NCAA kuvunja rekodi ya mapato.


Dkt Abbasi ametoa Takwimu hizo Aprili 28,2023 Jijini Dodoma wakati akielezea mafanikio kumi ya mwaka mmoja tangu Mhe. Dkt Samia Suluhu Hassan, Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, alipozindua filamu ya Royal Tour jijini Arusha na hatimaye watanzania wengi kuiona kwa mara ya kwanza filamu ya “TANZANIA; THE ROYAL TOUR"


Aidha ameeleza jinsi ROYAL TOUR ilivyojenga hamasa kwa watalii na wawekezaji, sasa hamasa hiyo pia imekuwa na manufaa kwa sekta ya usafiri wa Anga kama takwimu za Manufaa kwa Uwanja wa Kimataifa wa Kilimanjaro pekee kama sampuli ya ndege za Kimataifa Zaongeza Ruti Tanzania Miruko ya jumla ya ndege za kimataifa KIA iliongezeka kwa asilimia 28 kutoka miruko 6,115 April 2021 hadi 7,850 April, 2023.


"kutokana na watalii kuongezeka nchini ikiwa ni matunda ya Royal Tour, mapato ya jumla ya sekta hii yameongezeka kutoka Dola za Marekani 1.310.34 (Sawa na TZS Trilioni 3.01) mwaka 2021 hadi Dola za Marekani,527.77 (sawa la TZS Trilioni 5.82) imefanya Tanapa na NCAA wamevunja rekodi ya mapato".


Dkt Abbasi Amesema Royal Tour sio mwisho ni mwanzo wa kuitangaza nchi kimataifa zaidi hivyo Kamati ya mwaka mmoja sasa, imepokea na inaendelea kuchambua “Royal Tours” nyingine zijazo na Maombi Kujitangaza Ligi Kubwa za Ulaya na Marekani Kutokana na hamasa ya Royal Tour klabu mbalimbali za Ligi Kubwa Duniani hasa Uingereza, Hispania na Marekani wapo katika mazungumzo nazo na wameshapokea ofa zao


Ushiriki wa Mhe. Rais Dkt Samia Suluhu Hassan  katika filamu ya Royal Tour umeleta mafanikio ambapo Novemba mwaka jana huko Dallas,Texas, USA, Taasisi ya Tuzo za Afrimma ilimtangaza Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan kuwa Rais Mwanamke wa kwanza Afrika Kushinda Tuzo ya Mageuzi Katika Uongozi wakitamka bayana kuwa mojawapo ya vigezo na mafanikio ni ushiriki wake katika Royal Tour".


Mpaka kufikia Sasa kuna  wastani wa takribani watu Bilioni 1.2 wamejihusisha na Royal Tour iwe ni kwa kuona,kusikia,kuangalia au kuambiwa na mtu mwingine habari za Makala hii ya Royal Tour.

ZAIDI YA WATU MILIONI 2.9 HUPOTEZA MAISHA KUTOKANA NA AJALI NA MAGONJWA YATOKANAYO NA KAZI.

 

Pichani,Waziri wa Nchi Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu, Kazi,Vijana,Ajira, na Wenye Ulemavu Mhe Prof.Joyce Ndalichako akizungumza na wanahabari jijini Dodoma Leo Apr 26,2023.

Na Deborah Lemmubi - Dodoma.


Takwimu za kidunia  zilizotolewa na Shirika la Kazi Duniani (I.L.O) za mwaka 2022 zinaonesha kwamba zaidi ya watu milioni mbili na laki tisa (2.9) hupoteza maisha kutokana na ajali na magonjwa yanayotokana na kazi.



Pia zaidi ya wafanyakazi milioni 402 huumia wakiwa kazini na hivyo kushindwa kutekeleza majukumu yao kwa kipindi chote wanachopatiwa matibabu hadi hapo watakapopona


Akitoa taarifa kwa vyombo vya Habari leo  Aprili 26,2023 Jijini Dodoma kuelekea Maadhimisho ya siku ya Usalama na Afya mahala pa kazi,Waziri wa Nchi Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu, Kazi,Vijana,Ajira, na Wenye Ulemavu Mhe Prof.Joyce Ndalichako amesema Kwa upande wa Tanzania jumla ya ajali na magonjwa yaliyoripotiwa katika Mfuko wa Fidia kwa Wafanyakazi kuanzia Julai 2019 hadi Juni 2021 ni ajali 4,993 na magonjwa 249. Katika ajali hizo, vifo vilikuwa 217.



"Takwimu hizo ni kubwa sana zinaathiri utendaji kwa kuwa zinasababisha upotevu wa maisha ya Wafanyakazi na pia kuathiri shughuli wakati wafanyakazi walioumia wakiendelea kupata matibabu. Kwa mantiki hiyo, ni dhahiri kwamba suala la ajali na magonjwa yatokanayo na kazi linahitaji jitihada za makusudi katika kukabiliana nalo".


Serikali ya JMT inatambua umuhimu wa kulinda Nguvu Kazi ya Taifa. Kupitia Taasisi yake ya OSHA

Serikali inaendelea kusimamia kwa karibu utekelezaji wa Sheria Na. 5 ya Afya na Usalama Mahali pa Kazi ya mwaka 2003 miongoni mwa wadau na Watanzania wote kwa ujumla. Lengo ni kuhakikisha kwamba maeneo yote ya kazi Nchini yanakuwa na mifumo madhubuti ya kuwakinga wafanyakazi dhidi ya ajali na magonjwa yatokanayo na kazi".


Ambapo Prof.Ndalichako amesema kuwa maadhimisho hayo yatafanyika kitaifa Mkoani Morogoro katika viwanja vya Tumbaku Aprili 28,2023 na Lengo kubwa la maadhimisho hayo ni kuendeleza kampeni za kuhamasisha na kuweka mazingira salama katika sehemu za kazi miongoni mwa wadau kupitia kauli mbiu mbali mbali ambazo hutolewa na Shirika la Kazi Duniani ambapo kauli mbiu ya mwaka huu ni: “Mazingira Salama na Afya kazini ni Kanuni na Haki ya Msingi Mahali pa Kazi” (A Safe and Health Working Environment is a Fundamental Principle and Right at Work).


Kauli mbiu hiyo inatokana na Azimio la Wanachama wa Shirika la kazi Duniani (ILO) katika kikao cha Juni 2022 kilichofanyika huko Geneva Uswisi, na kuamua kuwa suala Usalama na Afya mahali pa kazi liwe mojawapo ya Kanuni na Haki tano za msingi kwa wafanyakazi mahali pa kazi,"



Na kuongeza kuwa "Kanuni na Haki nyingine za msingi

kwa wafanyakazi ni uhuru wa kujumuika na haki ya majadiliano kazini; kukomesha aina zote za kazi ya kulazimishwa; kukomesha ajira za watoto; na kuondolewa kwa ubaguzi katika suala la ajira na kazi".


Kwa upande wake Mtendaji Mkuu wa OSHA, Bi. Khadija Mwenda amesema kuwa moja kati ya eneo ambalo ajali nyingi zinaripotiwa ni katika sekta ya Uzalishaji ambapo imeajiri vijana wengi huku wengine wakiwa hawana ujuzi wa kutosha katika nafasi wanazofanyia kazi.



"Ukweli ni kwamba eneo la Uzalishaji lina matukio mengi ya ajali na hii ni kutokana na vijana wengi kujikita katika eneo hilo kujiajiri ama kuajiriwa huku wengine wakifanya tu bila kuwa na ujuzi wa kutosha au taaluma kwani eneo hilo mara nyingi wanaangalia nguvu sana kuliko taaluma ndio maana ajali zinakuwa nyingi".


Bi.Mwenda ameongeza kuwa OSHA imejipanga vyema kuelekea maadhimisho hayo ya 19 ambapo washiriki wote watapatiwa Mafunzo ya Usalama na Afya miongoni mwa makundi mbali mbali wakiwemo wajasiriamali wadogo, wafanyakazi wa viwandani, wachimbaji wadogo pamoja na watu wenye ulemavu.



"Pia OSHA tutajikita katika kutoa mafunzo kwa Sekta binafsi na zile zisizo rasmi kwa sababu wengi hawapo kwenye mfumo jambo ambalo linawafanya kuwa katika mazingira hatarishi na kufanya kazi bila kuzingatia sheria za usalama na afya mahali pa kazi".


Siku ya Usalama na Afya Mahali pa Kazi Duniani ilianza mwaka1996 Nchini Marekekani Katika Jiji la New York, ambapo waathirika wa watu walioumia na kupoteza maisha wakiwa kazini hukumbukwa. Maadhimisho hayo yalikuwa yakifanywa na Chama Cha Wafanyakazi Duniani. Ilipofika mwaka 2001,Shirika la Kazi Duniani liliona kuwa ni busara kubadilisha madhumuni ya siku hiyo na kuiita “Siku ya Usalama na Afya Mahali pa Kazi Duniani.


Pia haya ni Maadhimisho ya 19 kwa Tanzania ambapo kwa mara ya kwanza tulianza kuadhimisha mwaka 2004.

Na.Mwandishi Wetu-Tanga na Dodoma

Benki ya Exim Tanzania imehitimisha rasmi zoezi la uandaaji wa futari kwa wateja wake katika mikoa mbalimbali hapa nchini ikiwemo Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Dodoma na Tanga kwa msimu huu wa mwezi wa Mtukufu wa Ramadhani huku wadau mbalimbali wa benki hiyo wakiwemo wateja, viongozi wa dini na serikali wakionyesha kuridhishwa na utaratibu wa benki hiyo wa kuwakumbuka watu wenye mahitaji maalum katika mwezi huo.

Katika kuhitimisha zoezi hilo ilishuhudiwa viongozi waandamizi wa serikali na dini katika mikoa ya Tanga na Dodoma wakishirikiana na viongozi waandamizi wa benki hiyo akiwemo Afisa Mtendaji Mkuu  Bw Jaffari Matundu pamoja na Mkuu wa Rasilimali watu wa Benki hiyo Bw Fredrick Kanga katika kuongoza hafla mbili tofauti zilizoandaliwa na benki hiyo kwa ajili ya wateja wake wenye imani ya Kiislam  katika mikoa hiyo mwishoni mwa wiki iliyopita.

Sambamba na hafla hizo benki hiyo pia kupitia Mkuu wake wa  kitengo cha Hazina na Masoko  ya Dunia Bw Nelson Kishanda pamoja na baadhi ya wateja wake iliweza kukabidhi msaada wa chakula na mahitaji muhimu kwa  familia zenye uhitaji kupitia  taasisi ya Maawal Islamic ya jijini Tanga, zoezi ambalo liliongozwa na Mkuu wa Wilaya ya Tanga Bw Hashim Mgandilwa aliemuwakilisha Mkuu wa Mkoa huo, sambamba na Sheikh Mkuu wa Mkoa  huo Sheikh Juma Luwuchu.

Wakizungumza kwenye matukio yote mawili ya jijini Tanga DC Mgandilwa pamoja nae Sheikh Luwuchu walionyesha kufuruhishwa na mtazamo wa benki hiyo wa kutokutazama mwezi wa Ramadhani kama ni mwezi wa kujenga mahusiano na wateja wao pekee bali pia kuutumia vyema mwezi huo kwa kuyakumbuka makundi yenye uhitaji bila kujali kama si wateja wa benki hiyo.

“Hiki kinachofanywa na benki ya Exim ni mfano haswa wa kuigwa. Wangeweza tu kukutana na wateja wao na kufuturu pamoja lakini wameona kitendo hicho pekee hakitoshi kuuheshimisha mwezi huu Mtukufu wa Ramadhani hivyo wameona ni vema wawakumbuke pia wenye uhitaji maalum. Kupitia Taasisi ya Maawal Islamic wameweza kukabidhi futari kwa watu wenye uhitaji…hongereni sana,’’ alipongeza DC Mgandilwa.

Akizungumzia matukio hayo Afisa Mtendaji Mkuu wa Benki ya Exim Bw Jaffari Matundu alisema ni muendelezo wa utaratibu wa benki hiyo kwa zaidi ya10 miaka sasa ikilenga kujumuika na wateja wake kama hatua ya kuonyesha mshikamano na umoja katika kipindi cha mwezi mtukufu wa Ramadhani.

Alisema benki hiyo inaheshimu sana Mwezi Mtukufu wa Ramadhani kutokana na ukweli kwamba, ni kipindi ambacho mwanadamu anajiweka karibu na Muumba wake kupitia mfungo na kufanya maombi.

“Kwetu sisi mwezi huu tunautazama kiimani zaidi ndio sababu tunazama makundi yote wakiwemo wateja wetu pamoja na watu wenye uhitaji maalum. Tumeweza kuandaa matukio kama haya mikoa mbalimbali ikiwemo Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar na leo tunakamilisha na mikoa ya Tanga na Dodoma.’’

“ Zaidi tutaendelea kutoa zawadi za Sikukuu ya Eid al-Fitr katika maeneo mengine pia. Lengo ni wote tufurahie mwezi huu muhimu huku pia tukikumbushana kufanya kilicho chema mbele za Mungu wetu.” Alisema Matundu.

Hafla zote mbili zilihudhuriwa na wageni mbalimbali wakiwemo viongozi wa serikali, viongozi wa dini, viongozi wa vyama vya siasa, wateja, mawakala pamoja na wafanyakazi wa benki hiyo.

HUAWEI CALLS FOR A 'NON-STOP' DIGITAL FUTURE FOR AFRICA'S BANKING INDUSTRY

 [Cape Town, ] Huawei today announced its ‘Non Stop Banking’ initiative. Unveiled at the Huawei Intelligent Finance Summit for Africa 2023, the initiative calls for hand-in-hand collaboration between the ICT and banking industries and facilitate a digital future of ‘non-stop’ services, ‘non-stop’ development, and ‘non-stop’ innovation.

In a keynote speech announcing the initiative, Leo Chen, president of Huawei Sub-Saharan Africa Region spoke about why going digital has become such a major imperative for the banking industry. Not only does it make it easier for banks to broaden their customer base, he said, it also saves operational costs, allows them to develop new products, and deepen the customer relationship, thus generating revenues for banks.  

In Africa, he added, there’s an even greater imperative for banks to embrace digitization, as it allows for greater financial inclusion. While Chen lauded the innovative work done by many African banks in embracing digitization, he pointed out that all players in the industry need to go further if they’re to embrace the ‘non-stop’ approach that will characterise the future of banking.

Huawei has already served more than 2500 financial customers in over 60 countries and regions, including 50 of the world's top 100 banks. Numerous Huawei technologies, Chen said, are helpful on this front. Over the years, it has provided the foundation and backbone for the digitalization of the banking industry in Africa by supporting the construction of the continent’s ICT infrastructure and digital connectivity in rural areas. Its extensive focus on research and development (R&D), meanwhile, means that it’s well-poised to help the industry shape its future too.

From a technical perspective, he pointed to Huawei's strength in storage, fibre optic networks, IP networks and data communication, which enable ‘multi-domain collaboration’ solutions for banks. For example, its ‘storage and optical connection coordination (SOCC)’ solutions can reduce system switchover time from two minutes to two seconds after a network breakdown, ensuring zero transaction interruptions. The multilayer ransomware protection (MRP) technology, meanwhile, can provide 6-layer protections, from storage, to network, to applications and other layers. It enables a reliable and secure ‘end-to-end’ protection to the whole system. Finally, Huawei’s intelligent network O&M solutions enable faults to be detected in one minute, diagnosed in three minutes, and rectified in five minutes.

Huawei Cloud, the world's fastest-growing major cloud service provider, can additionally support the hybrid multi-cloud service required by banks. Huawei’s digital energy solutions, meanwhile, can help to provide an uninterrupted and green power supply for the banking sector. This effectively addresses power deficit issues and supports ‘non-stop’ banking.

That kind of technological innovation will be important because, as Jason Cao, CEO of Huawei Global Digital Finance pointed out, financial services are becoming mobile and intelligent at a blistering pace.

“The financial industry should pay acute attention to users and their demands, embracing changes,” he said. “Huawei is dedicated to helping its African financial customers address challenges and accelerate changes across six fields: shifting from transaction to digital engagement, cloud-native and agile businesses, data democratization, secure and reliable infrastructure, hybrid multi-cloud and Lego-style modular services, and automated and predictable operation.”

“In this way, Huawei will facilitate financial digitalization and innovatively improve productivity in Africa. Revolving around stability, agility, and intelligence, Huawei aims to build ‘non-stop’ financial services, and achieve ‘non-stop’ development alongside ’non-stop’ innovation,” he added.

Beyond technology, Huawei issued a call for all parties in the industry to come together and build more robust ICT infrastructure, facilitate more measures and policies to encourage digital finance innovation, cultivate a sound innovative ecosystem, and train more digital talent for the industry.

Huawei is particularly active on the last two points. Huawei Cloud’s Spark programme, for example, has pledged to assist 1 000 SMEs over the next three years. And having already trained more than 80 000 digital talents in Africa, it has launched the ‘LEAP’ digital talent training programme in Sub-Saharan Africa region, aiming to train another 100 000 people in the next three years.

The Huawei Intelligent Finance Summit for Africa 2023 brought together more than 200 attendees, including key industry opinion leaders, as well as executives from major banks across Africa.

STEADY OPERATIONS,SUSTAINABLE SURVIVAL AND DEVELOPMENT

Eric Xu speaking at the press conference

[Shenzhen, China] Huawei released its 2022 Annual Report today. The company reports steady operations throughout 2022, having generated CNY642.3 billion in revenue and CNY35.6 billion in net profits. Huawei continues to strengthen investment in R&D, with an annual expenditure of CNY161.5 billion in 2022, representing 25.1% of the company's annual revenue and bringing its total R&D expenditure over the past 10 years to more than CNY977.3 billion.

"In 2022, a challenging external environment and non-market factors continued to take a toll on Huawei's operations", said Eric Xu, Huawei's Rotating Chairman, at the company's annual report press conference. "In the midst of this storm, we kept racing ahead, doing everything in our power to maintain business continuity and serve our customers. We also went to great lengths to grow the harvest – generating a steady stream of revenue to sustain our survival and lay the groundwork for future development."

Also present at the event was Sabrina Meng, Huawei's CFO. She noted, "Despite substantial pressure in 2022, our overall business results were in line with forecast. At the end of 2022, our liability ratio was 58.9% and our net cash balance was CNY176.3 billion. In addition, our balance of total assets reached one trillion yuan, largely composed of current assets such as cash, short-term investments, and operating assets. Our financial position remains solid, with strong resilience and flexibility. In 2022, our total R&D spend was CNY161.5 billion, representing 25.1% of our total revenue – among the highest in Huawei's history. In times of pressure, we press on – with confidence."

 

 

In 2022, revenue from Huawei's carrier, enterprise, and consumer businesses was CNY284 billion, CNY133.2 billion, and CNY214.5 billion, respectively.

Huawei is a strong proponent of growing together with its ecosystem partners, and believes that openness and collaboration lead to shared success. The company has continued to open up its platform capabilities across its HarmonyOS, Kunpeng, Ascend, and cloud portfolio, focusing on improving developer experience as well as enabling and supporting its ecosystem partners on all fronts. Huawei currently works with more than nine million developers and over 40,000 ecosystem partners to fuel ecosystem-based innovation and create greater value for its customers.

"2023 will be crucial to Huawei's sustainable survival and development," Xu noted. "Plum blossoms tend to grow sweeter from a harsh winter's freeze. Today, Huawei is like a plum blossom. While it's true that we have considerable pressure ahead of us, we have what it takes to come out the other end – with opportunities to grow, a resilient business portfolio, a unique competitive edge, the enduring trust of our customers and partners, and the courage to invest heavily in R&D. We are confident in our ability to rise above any challenge that comes our way, laying a solid foundation for sustainable survival and development."
