DAR ES SALAAM, Jan. 26 -- KILIMANJARO Industrial Park (KIP) has commenced operations and created 5,000 jobs while utilising only 10 per cent of installed capacity, highlighting substantial growth potential.

The park, located in Kigamboni, Dar es Salaam owned by GSM Companies, currently has two operational factories out of the 20 planned for the development.

The Minister for Industry and Trade, Judith Kapinga, who visited the park over the weekend, underscored the importance of the initiative in creating sustainable job opportunities for the countrys young workforce.

“The establishment of industrial parks has emerged as a crucial solution to the serious issue of youth unemployment in the country,” Minister Kapinga said.
