FINSCOPE TANZANIA 2017
Regional Dissemination Session, Week of 26 Feb.
After the successful launch of the FinScope Tanzania 2017 findings last year, we would like to revive the momentum in 2018 by beginning with the FinScope Tanzania 2017 post-launch dissemination sessions. Our sessions are expected to begin In Zanzibar, whereby FSDT will share FinScope Tanzania 2017 findings with a primary focus on Zanzibar, and discuss the implications of the findings to the economy and social lives in the Isles.
A profile for Zanzibar based on FinScope findings and analysis has been prepared and the same will be shared. This is a unique opportunity for Zanzibar to benefit from the in depth discussions that can shape the future of financial inclusion for impact in Zanzibar and Tanzania as a whole.
