dc.description.abstractIt is now increasingly recognised that the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in employment creation and income generation in Tanzania. SMEs all over the world and in Tanzania in particular, can be easily established since their requirements in terms of capital; technology, management and even utilities are not as demanding as it is the case for large enterprises. These enterprises can also be established in rural settings and thus add value to the agro products and at the same time facilitate the dispersal of enterprises. Indeed SMEs development is closely associated with more equitable distribution of income and thus important as regards poverty alleviation. At the same time, SMEs serve as a training ground for emerging entrepreneurs. In Tanzania, the full potential of the SME sector has yet to be tapped due to the existence of a number of constraints hampering the development of the sector. They include: unfavourable legal and regulatory framework, undeveloped infrastructure, poor business development services, limited access of SMEs to finance, ineffective and poorly coordinated institutional support framework etc. It is for this reason that this SME Development Policy was formulated so as to address the constraints and to tap the full potential of the sector. Ad hoc and piecemeal measures will then be replaced with sustainable, integrated and coordinated interventions. This policy will serve as guidelines to all stakeholders and thus stimulate new enterprises to be established and existing ones to grow and become more competitive. The expected outcome is to have a significantly increased contribution of the SME sector to economic development of Tanzaniaen_US
