Speaking at the launch, Godwell Wanga, Tanzania National Business Council (TNBC) executive secretary, said that it was the first private initiative that resonates with the country’s five-year digital transformation agenda.
He said the government will use both its public employment and the private portal launched to recruit employees and leaders.
“Recently, the Head of State has been appointing leaders from the private sector; the new ERB will help the government get qualified people,” he said.
“The ERB will be a gateway to Tanzanians seeking jobs beyond the country's borders.”
Dr Wanga said that the ERB will also attract new investors since it assures them of the security of employees’ data and other information.
According to him, ERB will also increase the government’s trust in stakeholders in and outside the country, attracting more investments.
He said that the government's digital transformation agenda prioritises strategic use of technology to enhance governance, streamline public services and foster economic growth.
