Implementing Partner
Sido was established in October 1973 as a parastatal organisation under now Ministry of Trade, Industry and Marketing. Its objective was to develop the small industry sector in Tanzania. It was expected to fulfil a very wide range of functions, from policy formulation to direct support to industries, to hands-on involvement in the establishment of SMEs in both rural and urban areas. SIDO will play a major role in the private sector support of the programme, ranging from identification of potential BCEs to providing business training and coaching.
