The remark was made by Mr. Jason Yi, Board Director of Huawei Tanzania during the 7th Tanzania Annual ICT Conference in Dar es Salaam, recently who noted that digital transformation is key in unlocking new economic development in the country. Equally, the company has further promised to bring the best technology and reliable mobile network to every corner of the country. He further said that with their contribution and guided by Tanzania’s long-term development strategy the “Development Vision 2025”, the country is experiencing a stage of rapid economic development and has achieved amazing results. At present, Tanzania has become a middle-income economy and has entered a new stage of economic take-off, which means the accelerating development phase from 1000 to 3000 GDP per capita. In this phase, ICT will play a key role in the transition from a resource-based economy to a skill- and technology-based economy, and to transform the country’s production structure. Tanzania's “Third Five-Year Development Plan” also emphasizes the importance of science and technology, innovation and digitalization, to explore development potential through the national digital transformation, so that Tanzania people can benefit from more quality life from the development. “We can see a lot of impressive achievements today. For instance, the national ICT broadband backbone network (NICTBB, 7,900+ km) is providing connectivity to seven neighbouring countries, fulfilling the government’s commitment to become a regional ICT hub, and connecting neighbouring landlocked countries with international submarine cables for global connectivity,” Yi pointed out. He added: “Huawei is honored to be part of this process and contribute to it, and we are proud of the achievements created by our customers and partners. We firmly believe that digital transformation is a driving force for innovation, inclusiveness and sustainable growth. It will stimulate job creation, improve productivity, help to tackle poverty, and together realize Tanzania’s development vision 2025.” As a world-leading ICT company, Huawei has been rooted in Tanzania for 16 years since 2007 and has been the largest contributor to the country’s ICT infrastructure, serving 75 percent of the population. Mr Yi further said that Huawei also supported operators to upgrade Tanzania’s network from 2G to 4G and build the fiber broadband network connecting all 26 Tanzania regions, connecting millions of people living in rural areas to the world. “We are committed to bring state-of-the-art products and solutions to provide reliable communications services for Tanzanians, by adhering to the value philosophy of “in Tanzania, for Tanzania We all agree that excellent ICT talent is the cornerstone of national digital transformation. Huawei Tanzania is therefore committed to imparting ICT knowledge and skills to Tanzanians, and working with industry and academic partners to build the digital talent pool needed for Tanzania’s sustainable development We are committed to invest more in bringing industry-leading technologies to Tanzania, helping strengthen the national ICT infrastructure, and support the Tanzanian government and enterprises in their digital transformation agenda. Not only to support the “hard connectivity” to improve infrastructure, but also to help the “soft connectivity” to develop rules and standards. On December 13, 2022, Huawei supported our partner TTCL to launch the network at the Mountain Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. High-speed network coverage is available for the first time at the 5985 meters elevation. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi45ITRO37MPIQL-DW2bUN5yEPqvsfkkKtoDqyIzbVyI-EQ6RsELmvaWY5LtwWAKduTlnuHL4V3vYbWZ5j8FHInht3hvQ6OC9lzCE5tZ8v7cBPIcwmgRoN7-wTy-X_lsIWWGlc_TnjoemCmiT8Ziv3cgQfze70A4KodjTuDe6cqJXwtRmV1SuKxkijmnnkg/s3456/HUAWEI%20PIX%202.jpg"><img border="0" height="631" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi45ITRO37MPIQL-DW2bUN5yEPqvsfkkKtoDqyIzbVyI-EQ6RsELmvaWY5LtwWAKduTlnuHL4V3vYbWZ5j8FHInht3hvQ6OC9lzCE5tZ8v7cBPIcwmgRoN7-wTy-X_lsIWWGlc_TnjoemCmiT8Ziv3cgQfze70A4KodjTuDe6cqJXwtRmV1SuKxkijmnnkg/w640-h631/HUAWEI%20PIX%202.jpg" width="640" /></a> From here, tourists can share the beautiful pictures when they reach the peak. The Network coverage has also further improved the quality of life of mountain people. In times of emergency, tourists can also call for help through the network signal in time. Currently, Huawei has established partnerships with 19 local universities and has built 4 ICT practice labs. More than 3,000 teachers and students have been trained by Huawei ICT Academy. Huawei provides ICT skills training for more than 2000 ICT engineers and civil servants. Over the past few years, hundreds of Tanzanian students have benefited from Huawei’s Seeds for the Future programme.

This resolution marks a significant milestone in the ongoing struggle to address discrimination based on work and descent and to protect and promote the rights and dignity of CDWD across Africa. The Global Forum of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (GFOD) is a global forum of communities oppressed due to casteism, traditional and modern forms of slavery. Speaking during the ACHPR meeting in Arusha The Convenor of GFOD, Paul Divakar said GFOD has been intervening at the ACHPR to demand the rights of the marginalised communities and recognize them and demand full realization of their rights. The ACHPR, comprising of representatives from various African nations, NGOs and other stakeholder groups convened in Arusha, Tanzania from 16th-18th of October 2023, to deliberate on this vital issue. Divakar Said after intense discussions, the NGO forum of the Commission unanimously adopted a comprehensive resolution dedicated to combat discrimination against CDWD. He added the NGO forum acknowledged that discrimination based on work and descent is widespread across the Africa and that multiple, aggravated, and intersecting forms of discrimination impact women, children and youth, persons with disabilities, and those of diverse sexual orientation and gender identity, which makes them more vulnerable to the denial of their human rights in par with others. “In order to tackle discrimination based on work and descent, the NGO Forum of the ACPHR we Calls upon States Parties to acknowledge the existence of discrimination based on work and descent as a distinct form of discrimination that deserves the attention of the African community and that affects peoples across Africa” He said Further calls upon States Parties to take all necessary constitutional, legislative, administrative, budgetary, judicial, educational, and social measures to eliminate discrimination based on work and descent in their respective states and respect, protect, promote, restitute, implement and monitor the human rights of those facing this discrimination, including thorough, robust disaggregated data collection in line with data protection and data privacy principles; Divakar Said They Urges States Parties, in collaboration with the National Human Rights Institutions, civil society organisations and human rights defenders belonging to communities discriminated on work and descent, to combat prejudicial beliefs and practices in all their forms, including notions of untouchability, pollution and caste superiority or inferiority, as well as prevent human rights violations taken on the basis of such beliefs; “ We Requests the Africa Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights to initiate a process to realise a continental study on the situation of communities discriminated on work and descent to be shared with the African Union organs and institutions” Mr Divakar Said Decides to establish a Working Group on Discrimination Based on Work and Descent, composed of Members of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, with the participation of representatives of communities discriminated on work and descent, further study the practices of discrimination based on work and descent in the African region and their impact on the realization of human rights under the African Charter, with the aim of developing further interventions to prevent discrimination based on work and descent. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Dubbed ‘Empowering Novel Agri-business –Led Employment (ENABLE), the robust project is the component of the Technologies for African Agricultural Technologies (TAAT) program, the strategic initiative funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) being implemented by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA). So far, the ENABLE project has entered into a working contract with the Dodoma-based TUSUMUKE Youth Entrepreneurship Group (TYEG) for the effective execution of the timely-project among the youths within different wards and districts of Dodoma region. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXklDse7a8wEteEiwlswQLzxTJXAd9jbJ6sfzfintW-x5-_axQotFwd4cK3ZdohxifPrtPLoBp_T8IG5Qwv4v3oLjmUk73pHTU-_y239S0It3KmVuwiMQFwN-HltCnOsHfxx5GvrioNpAPVgvSSqt5YOSyAJGgLuU7mAojY1FDepl9OgkLLHrsAXs_fM/s1080/kuku%203.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXklDse7a8wEteEiwlswQLzxTJXAd9jbJ6sfzfintW-x5-_axQotFwd4cK3ZdohxifPrtPLoBp_T8IG5Qwv4v3oLjmUk73pHTU-_y239S0It3KmVuwiMQFwN-HltCnOsHfxx5GvrioNpAPVgvSSqt5YOSyAJGgLuU7mAojY1FDepl9OgkLLHrsAXs_fM/w640-h426/kuku%203.jpg" /></a> Giving an exclusive interview to this publication, Mr Augustine Deogratius, the Assistant ENABLE-TAAT Liaison Officer Tanzania expressed that the initiative was working to practically train the youths on useful technical skills pertaining to poultry, as well as additional value to numerous agro produce. “The project attracts both the youth groups as well as the individuals starting from 18 and 35 years of age. However, we’re sensitizing them to form special working groups so that they can stand a better chance to acquire useful capital loans from various financial institutions,” he unveiled. And according to Mr Deogratius, the NMB Bank Plc is part and parcel in the rolling out of the project, noting that the role of the state-owned commercial bank was to impart the beneficiary youths with key financial skills and other relevant awareness. He informed that the project was also being implemented in nearly all zones across the country, working to technically assist the youths to take part and benefiting accordingly from the various agro opportunities which are niches in their respective areas. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfpVn1o2asViuekskmm_WRr2tNw39jWJ209v_8holW6uPESn6RgzHaAKpMz-31fHFExr0mMlkzge3GlMmWNlMyfA17DYqnU14iZQaU7dXCNA3FvvqmnkxzFLAZ0291ohAYENINq98gM-rGpzmMLPgxg7PXgXPc_snkpMh2nBIlUsvOUutMx7SLb8MhxBo/s246/KUKU%204.jpg"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfpVn1o2asViuekskmm_WRr2tNw39jWJ209v_8holW6uPESn6RgzHaAKpMz-31fHFExr0mMlkzge3GlMmWNlMyfA17DYqnU14iZQaU7dXCNA3FvvqmnkxzFLAZ0291ohAYENINq98gM-rGpzmMLPgxg7PXgXPc_snkpMh2nBIlUsvOUutMx7SLb8MhxBo/w640-h640/KUKU%204.jpg" width="640" /></a> “The obejetive of the program incorporates a need to provide technical support to stakeholders involved in the program implementation using the IITA Youth –in Agriculture model,” he added. As part of envisaged plans in the project implementation in Dodoma region, he unveiled that the vision was to set up a major incubator center, the vital facility which will be grilling the youths in the region with needed technical skills on the project’s selected areas. “We’re also dealing with the students from universities and the other middle colleges and since the inception of the initiative in Dodoma region we’re kept on receiving a good number of the youths, the response is encouraging to a great extent,” he added. Speaking for his part, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the TUSUMUKE Youth Entrepreneurship Group (TYEG), Mr Christopher Dioniz said they have already trained a good number of the beneficiary youth in several wards. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIypr9pOWrUh9yTubhj1RYoPRTNChKbUuI-wEYy4PbvEzbncHR0k-bnpBYIui2qQ4FGqLxUzcdtWM6UG1jvK7mc2n5my9fX7MM_-eoCGC1PVmIWUVK_Vh-i01yP81rrTMCy57IRPiH2ExagSuO13GSSAdB7P98uZqcwyzEa5htBAK_mB8hJ4IlJbM7ukQ/s4000/IMG_20231020_135524.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIypr9pOWrUh9yTubhj1RYoPRTNChKbUuI-wEYy4PbvEzbncHR0k-bnpBYIui2qQ4FGqLxUzcdtWM6UG1jvK7mc2n5my9fX7MM_-eoCGC1PVmIWUVK_Vh-i01yP81rrTMCy57IRPiH2ExagSuO13GSSAdB7P98uZqcwyzEa5htBAK_mB8hJ4IlJbM7ukQ/w640-h288/IMG_20231020_135524.jpg" /></a> The areas include Nzuguni , Ndachi, Miyuji, and Mkonze wards, whereby the youths in Kongwa, Dodoma City and Kondoa Districts are similarly set to benefit in a near future. “We are training them on proper ways for the development of local-made, but improved chicken cages, production of feeds, hatching as well as linking them to the profitable markets,” Mr Dioniz expounded. Since 2012 IITA has been implementing a youth in agribusiness program (Youth Agripreneur) that runs its activities in different countries within Sub- Saharan Africa, including the IITA’s Agriculture-Tanzania Youth Agriculture (TYA). Tanzania Youth Agripreneurs (TYA) combines professional graduate’s youth from different fields and disadvantaged youth aged between 18-35 years. TYA started its chapter in March 2014 with the prime focus on getting youth together to set-up and run successful agriculture business (agribusiness) and become job creators rather than job seekers. Throughout the initiative, more than 2000 youth and farmers in the country have so far been trained and reach out on different commodities value chain, whereby through close and successful collaboration with NMB Foundation, the program has trained youth and women/farmers on financial management to qualify them for agribusiness loans in Kinondoni Municipal. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNGPlgB3GnqBJ5_LJYzBA8vu9HUJkokcem1n2Iuz17hNKCdYoXyBXlocI_IziW5hAjpSN3AwLBxZeo_hCEhEEe1yF3UF3RPxoR1HTMSvaPvsZHpIgOU70pmc-1x3ginsBbRiUsC7pbFl5v4ErTERhntPsXAXI-ZVyrtJGkDYDAc8V_2iB78IKrtN-OKas/s4000/IMG_20231020_135440.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNGPlgB3GnqBJ5_LJYzBA8vu9HUJkokcem1n2Iuz17hNKCdYoXyBXlocI_IziW5hAjpSN3AwLBxZeo_hCEhEEe1yF3UF3RPxoR1HTMSvaPvsZHpIgOU70pmc-1x3ginsBbRiUsC7pbFl5v4ErTERhntPsXAXI-ZVyrtJGkDYDAc8V_2iB78IKrtN-OKas/w288-h640/IMG_20231020_135440.jpg" /></a> Moreover, capacity building on different commodities including, poultry production (and other value chain), cassava production and processing (value addition), maize production, Orange fleshed Sweet Potatoes (OFSP), production of organic fertilizer have been conducted for youth in Dar es Salaam (Kinondoni Municipal and Ubungo Municipal), Morogoro region, Dodoma, Mbeya and Costal region. The overall purpose of the ENABLE –TAAT is to radically transform African agriculture through technical assistance in the promotion of TAAT’s key agriculture technologies, operate technology and innovation centres for youths along TAAT’s commodity value chains, and stimulate youth-led agribusiness start-ups with ripple effects on job creation across sub-Saharan Africa.

The directives came at a wake of reported incidents of illegal transportation of the vital agro inputs from outside the country, especially within the regions bordering neighboring countries. The useful directive has been given by Dr Anthony Diallo, the Chairman of the TFRA's Board of Directors. He was speaking during a special forum to discuss over progression in the running of the subsidized fertilizer scheme across the country. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguCvMKH7G1rOkz4UhAzzOw4ACmntNl_PpIyIUtVctEOwhF447akLCXBaSxOY7cPzP7KNrqJKlOCmUsq9uNGsWS5pIWp23oly4-YMsV09mZhtNzALGNmlunKrqHivhdWmszkbv9D5_yMdlVGZ7f7jsvp5_u17T4d9BPSZ4PUGCXnu98Seb5Py6nnNDZQQ0/s735/ferti%201.jpg"><img border="0" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguCvMKH7G1rOkz4UhAzzOw4ACmntNl_PpIyIUtVctEOwhF447akLCXBaSxOY7cPzP7KNrqJKlOCmUsq9uNGsWS5pIWp23oly4-YMsV09mZhtNzALGNmlunKrqHivhdWmszkbv9D5_yMdlVGZ7f7jsvp5_u17T4d9BPSZ4PUGCXnu98Seb5Py6nnNDZQQ0/w640-h392/ferti%201.jpg" width="640" /></a> The event convened in Mbeya Region, attracted the TFRA's officials and executives, the stakeholders in the fertilizer sector as well as the registered agents. He said sabotaging of the subsidized fertilizers was thwarting the much needed vision by the sixth phase government to ensure the agriculture sector is contributing highly onto the country’s economy. He insisted that the fertilizers are supposed to reach the intended farmers on proper time to enable them cultivating the various crops and attain deserved productivity. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKwa1-jBfhwsLgpr3Q-BSUiKXtTaANI_V5Rli_1BTd3FvupylipOYiDGEmWgm7igTpb1cstLFMMjXPwiZ0wIYGs_vxNKMIkVBvjNIGxIobeUuBDLolcFKuLppwrqXVMrTgpl0w-A_aIR0tShPQ3YQR6kO8tJVHP9nwPGc0wfDyF6WtxAdYCUejZ8huyz4/s800/ferti%202.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKwa1-jBfhwsLgpr3Q-BSUiKXtTaANI_V5Rli_1BTd3FvupylipOYiDGEmWgm7igTpb1cstLFMMjXPwiZ0wIYGs_vxNKMIkVBvjNIGxIobeUuBDLolcFKuLppwrqXVMrTgpl0w-A_aIR0tShPQ3YQR6kO8tJVHP9nwPGc0wfDyF6WtxAdYCUejZ8huyz4/w640-h360/ferti%202.jpg" /></a> "The government decided to subsidize fertilizer in order to allow, and make it easier for all farmers, especially those based in the country’s interior wards to access the input at affordable prices," he insisted. He also spoke over the need to ensure for the accord data on the actual number of the farmers, from wards and districts levels, who are in need of the subsidized fertilizers. He added, in some cases, there has been a difference in the statistics given over the number of the farmers to benefit from the subsidized fertilizers among the fertilizer's agents and the local government officials. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrzZyLLdPxt1zoUOrK3uNHbuGjf-XTiL4x4NhaZ_vSGLyl9k4Q7DTw3XRxFFtKjkPqFshpUG4Ph2QiqaGND2EJPyCFTmn4yzTqzhwzvbyitZi8JY2MsLz08be2OScizFpOctyKn1rNIew-59owamyDe3ZC2jxHhF4tgkznLAOF3jzdQNgXiXPMjoLYLpo/s767/yara%20ferti.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrzZyLLdPxt1zoUOrK3uNHbuGjf-XTiL4x4NhaZ_vSGLyl9k4Q7DTw3XRxFFtKjkPqFshpUG4Ph2QiqaGND2EJPyCFTmn4yzTqzhwzvbyitZi8JY2MsLz08be2OScizFpOctyKn1rNIew-59owamyDe3ZC2jxHhF4tgkznLAOF3jzdQNgXiXPMjoLYLpo/w640-h350/yara%20ferti.jpg" /></a> Together with that, Dr Diallo urged for fruitful utilization of the soil testing kits that have been rolled out by the government in order to assist the farmers to stand a professional side to apply the proper fertilizers that suits the types of soils in their respective cultivating areas.

Together with that, the initiative also focuses to ensure food sufficiency in the country as well as a surplus for exports hence boosting national income. TOSCI’s Quality Assurance (seeds) Officer, Mr Maulid Mwakatobe informed that the envisaged training will help farmers verify their inputs, including seeds, contain the use of counterfeit seeds, thus enabling them to obtain inputs on time. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifzYn9fE0Avea9EUbD5w39el3wH_Fl2AA4tIFGCiKbNLsCU2vwShhfqv7OtkOi1RHsoD0yOIBquWWJM6CIP0mT2ObOIKgFgYw1xhd6HRZaxxKI-WtA2mR1xXAqgpC8U5iYkbGSik-X-SHOsMzjk9EY0sP1ZT6akyMi_1hvMkSuzEQk-FgkmAceacD15Y4/s446/TOSCI-Logo.webp"><img border="0" height="162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifzYn9fE0Avea9EUbD5w39el3wH_Fl2AA4tIFGCiKbNLsCU2vwShhfqv7OtkOi1RHsoD0yOIBquWWJM6CIP0mT2ObOIKgFgYw1xhd6HRZaxxKI-WtA2mR1xXAqgpC8U5iYkbGSik-X-SHOsMzjk9EY0sP1ZT6akyMi_1hvMkSuzEQk-FgkmAceacD15Y4/w640-h162/TOSCI-Logo.webp" width="640" /></a> “The training is expected to assist the farmers to know how professional to verify seeds, but also to have the capacity to train others, the application of the skills will also help them produce productive products which are of healthy,” he said. According to him, using mobile phone, whether it is a smartphone or a feature phone, farmers can verify the seed package purchased, and get sufficient instructions that can help them a great deal in their farming activities. “We obtain sufficient information, indicating the date on which the seeds were produced and the expiry date, among other essential details that enable farmers to make informed choices,” he pointed out. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpjHZoXNfvr8sblAC4rMChhF3Ss6q4ymrIbYIufpobVUGukJ6XxTlZCf_0fXwJvO_sMCP1cer20DKNyhB-Nk9WkEbvBgQsazZpz0KxXXQtqzBMN9LyMxNFWLQyfW6MfCo50Ga7TkfspZ75geHANGubVtidXjWhFjjfEjIPiHh-4zn7gWRsnNR2VO-MkHA/s640/MBEGU%20BORA.png"><img border="0" height="407" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpjHZoXNfvr8sblAC4rMChhF3Ss6q4ymrIbYIufpobVUGukJ6XxTlZCf_0fXwJvO_sMCP1cer20DKNyhB-Nk9WkEbvBgQsazZpz0KxXXQtqzBMN9LyMxNFWLQyfW6MfCo50Ga7TkfspZ75geHANGubVtidXjWhFjjfEjIPiHh-4zn7gWRsnNR2VO-MkHA/w640-h407/MBEGU%20BORA.png" width="640" /></a> On his side, TOSCI Officer in Charge of Lake Zone, Mr Martin Msongoma expressed that the workshops will be of benefit because they teach farmers to check the veracity of the seeds they purchase before using them. “TOSCI works with other stakeholders to educate farmers to verify the seeds they want to grow. This will bring benefits to the agricultural sector by eliminating the use of fake seeds,” he said. And he added that the training was a key opportunity for the farmers to use the education that they will get as a chance to teach as well as sell the seeds to other people who need quality seeds. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoeZQ1HesqPbvla6HpwZDfMTIXLyJX58w0mxfZr5o1YfbiQuaAWD2TOqJmG0DiV3XiYQsFp0x-vk-yPvrVULlnbrPVAshntfZRGHqgeFLoD8vo7goTIiYjuCCgbC4Q29Yz4AIHK8mRUx_TZVrEY9b9A6xsLFmgCOZDTL8mhN3Ug5rK0nd4h3rjnmBQG2c/s1000/TOSCI%202.jpg"><img border="0" height="431" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoeZQ1HesqPbvla6HpwZDfMTIXLyJX58w0mxfZr5o1YfbiQuaAWD2TOqJmG0DiV3XiYQsFp0x-vk-yPvrVULlnbrPVAshntfZRGHqgeFLoD8vo7goTIiYjuCCgbC4Q29Yz4AIHK8mRUx_TZVrEY9b9A6xsLFmgCOZDTL8mhN3Ug5rK0nd4h3rjnmBQG2c/w640-h431/TOSCI%202.jpg" width="640" /></a> Elaborating, he lauded the Minister for Agriculture, Hussein Bashe, for ensuring that women and young people engage in agriculture as a business and recognize the importance of having quality seeds for improving the sector.
