Job Opportunity at SAGCOT, Operations Intern

Location
Kinondoni, Masaki Dar Es Salaam
Description
INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY
OPERATIONS INTERN -SAGCOT CENTRE LIMITED

Background
The Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (“SAGCOT”) has been established as a public private partnership with three overarching objectives: 1) Enhance Tanzania’s food security and accelerate agricultural transformation and green growth, 2) Safeguard that this happens in a sustainable and responsible manner, 3) Improve livelihoods for smallholder farmers and their communities. The mandate of the partnership is to achieve this by catalyzing responsible private sector led agriculture development. SAGCOT envisions that USD $2.1 billion of private investment can be mobilized over a twenty-year period, alongside public sector grants and loans of USD$1.3 billion. The impact will be a tripling of the area’s agricultural output and income improvement for millions of Tanzanians.

Partners in the partnership include government, global business, the Tanzanian private sector, farmers, foundations and donor institutions. Each SAGCOT “partner” commits to a number of principles of green and inclusive growth and looks forward to contributing to the objectives of SAGCOT within their respective mandate. While private sector partners (local and international agribusiness companies, input suppliers and support services) are looking to invest profitably in the corridor while keeping with the SAGCOT principles, public sector partners (Government of Tanzania, international development partners) have a key role to play in creating a favourable business enabling environment and incentivizing greener and more inclusive agribusiness development through both physical and policy infrastructure development, land use planning, investment promotion, agricultural research and extension services, etc. A number of additional partners, such as civil society and academia also play a role in the SAGCOT initiative.

To act as an institutionally neutral coordinating body and secretariat to the SAGCOT Partnership, the SAGCOT Centre Ltd (the Centre) was established in May 2011. The SAGCOT Centre’s Mission is to play the unique role of an honest, non-partisan partnership broker within the SAGCOT Partnership. Its role is to facilitate partners to deliver on inclusive, sustainable and commercial agricultural value chains in the corridor. In addition, the Centre will monitor successes and challenges of cluster and partnership development and feed best practices and lessons back through the Partnership.

The SAGCOT initiative aims to facilitate the development of profitable agribusiness “partnerships” in 'clusters' along the corridor to achieve economies of scale, synergies and increased efficiency. Clusters are geographic concentrations of interconnected farmers, companies, specialized suppliers, service providers, and associated institutions. Individual partnerships are understood as either government – business, business-business, or business-smallholder farmer partnerships.

Job Opportunities at Weight and Measurement Agency (WMA)

The history of Weights and Measures is traced back since the early human civilization. Measurement System is undoubtedly one of man’s greatest and most important inventions that cannot be left aside in the history of evolution of civilization. Every human being on our planet is affected by measurements in one way or another. Imagine, from the moment we are born and throughout our daily lives, the act of weighing or measuring is an important and often vital part of our existence. Our bodies, the food we eat and all the products we use as an integral part of modern living have all been weighed and measured at some stage or another in their development. It is almost impossible to describe anything without referring to weights and measures. Therefore, weighing or measuring is natural and vital part of our everyday life.

Economies in the world depend on reliable measurements that are trusted and accepted internationally. This facilitates trade and reduces transaction costs.



The use of weights and measures in the country is believed to be introduced even before the First World War, during the German era. While the German introduced the Metric System of measurement, the British, introduced the Imperial System of measurement. The execution of weights and measures duties was done by Weights and Measures Inspectors under the control of the Commissioner of Police according to Cap.221 of the laws. It was the duty of Governor to procure the Imperial Weights and Measures Standards and to appoint and revoke the appointments of the Weights and Measures Inspectors.

In 1960, the Weights and Measures Ordinance, Cap.221 was repealed by enactment of the Weights and Measures Ordinance, Cap.426 of 1960 which placed the role of the Weights and Measures under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. According to the Weights and Measures Ordinance, Cap.426, authority to procure standards was still under the Governor although powers to appoint heads of Weights and Measures Bureau, which was then a unit in the department of Commerce in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, was vested in the Minister. It was from this time when the Weights and Measures Unit became known as “The National Bureau of Standards” in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry until 1964 when it was put under the Ministry of Commerce and Co-operatives.
