The GOYN initiative, operating through its local program, is currently conducting a training for 100 young people selected from various wards across the city. This intensive, five-day training program runs from Monday, October 13 to Friday, October 17, 2025, and is a strategic effort to foster economic independence among the youth.
Business Training for Economic Independence: Key Skills Covered
Business training for economic independence is the central aim of the five-day program. The curriculum is meticulously designed to equip young people with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the competitive marketplace.

Formalizing businesses and accessing funding opportunities were key themes emphasized by the expert consultants. The training sessions are facilitated by Mr. Sostheme Sambua and Mr. Daniel Mghwira, senior business consultants from the Institute of Entrepreneurship and Competitiveness (Dar es Salaam). Mr. Sambua specifically urged the participants to formalize their businesses and establish clear, long-term goals for sustainable growth. He highlighted that joining business associations provides invaluable networks for learning financial discipline, taxation, and securing access to government and international funding.
Patience and Creativity: Secrets to Business Success for Youth
