A big part of Airtel Tanzania’s partnership with ZICTIA is to increase digital inclusion. Digital inclusion means making sure that everyone, no matter where they live or how much money they have, can use digital tools and services. This will help people get important services more easily through things like e-government, where people can access government services online without having to travel far. It will also help with e-learning, so students can use digital materials and learn better no matter where they live. Healthcare will also improve thanks to e-health services, which let doctors and nurses use technology to take better care of patients. Plus, businesses will get a boost through e-commerce, helping them sell their products online more easily.

Zanzibar’s Minister for Infrastructure, Communication, and Transport, Khalid Salum Mohammed, said this partnership is very important. He mentioned that working together with Airtel Tanzania and ZICTIA is a big step to make sure digital services reach everyone, including those in rural and underserved areas. The goal is to leave no one behind as Zanzibar moves forward with new technology.

Charles Kamoto, the Managing Director of Airtel Tanzania, said that Airtel Tanzania’s partnership with ZICTIA shows they want to be more than just a company that provides phone calls and internet. They want to invest in building better networks and create opportunities that help local communities grow. This means Airtel is ready to play a big role in Zanzibar’s digital development by supporting projects and services that improve people’s lives.

On the other hand, ZICTIA’s Director General, Shukuru Awadh Suleiman, pointed out how important it is to work with private companies like Airtel Tanzania. He said this partnership will help improve the infrastructure needed to support more digital services, help more people use financial services online, and prepare Zanzibar for a future full of innovation and growth that benefits everyone.

In simple words, Airtel Tanzania partners with ZICTIA because both want to bring good internet and digital services to the people of Zanzibar. This agreement will help improve communication, education, health services, business opportunities, and government services by using better technology. It will make life easier and better for many people, especially those who have not had access to these services before.
