Supporting Sustainable Industrial Development

Unveiling Industrial Park Master Plan

Zanzibar has long been renowned for its history and vibrant culture, serving as an anchor in Indian Ocean trade and commerce for generations. However, in today’s globalized economy, the need for sustainable industrial development has become more apparent.

Recognizing this need, the Zanzibar government embarked on an effort to formulate an extensive Industrial Park Master Plan; marking an important step on its journey toward economic prosperity with its completion – marking a pivotal milestone on their economic prosperity journey!

Our recently approved Industrial Park Master Plan marks a key step on our journey towards industrialization and economic development in our beloved Country. Carefully crafted, it sets forth ambitious objectives of creating an environment conducive to industrial expansion while simultaneously attracting both domestic and foreign investors alike.

At its core, the Industrial Park Master Plan envisages the establishment of cutting-edge industrial park as focal point for various sectors including manufacturing, processing and logistics.

This blueprint represents the result of extensive research conducted with experts, stakeholders and international partners while taking into account Zanzibar’s unique economic, social, and environmental dynamics.

Our vision for our Industrial Park is multifaceted. Primarily, it seeks to foster innovation, generate employment opportunities and increase industry competitiveness. To do this, the plan emphasizes developing essential infrastructure such as roads, utilities and modern facilities as a basis for business expansion and investment attraction.

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do; thus, the Industrial Park Master Plan strives to integrate eco-friendly practices, renewable energy solutions and efficient waste management systems into its design, with minimal environmental impact while maximising economic benefits.

Parallel to this plan is its emphasis on skills development and capacity building. Collaborations between educational institutions, vocational training centers, and industry experts will enable tailored training programs designed to equip our workforce with skills necessary for meeting market demand while spurring sustainable economic growth.

The Industrial Park Master Plan offers tremendous potential. It represents an unprecedented opportunity for Zanzibar to establish itself as a regional manufacturing and industrial hub, spurring job creation, technology transfer, and economic diversification.

The Ministry of Trade and Industrial Development extends an open invitation to investors both local and international to explore all the possibilities offered by the Industrial Park.

Together let’s work towards realizing our shared vision of an economically vibrant industrial sector which not only benefits Zanzibar but also contributes to its overall development.
