 Welcome to ITU studio. We are in the Walter Communications Development Conference here in Kigali. We have the honour to be with Honourable Minister Napa Moses Naoum from Tanzania. Welcome in the studio. Thank you so much. Thank you. Yes. How is the government of Tanzania creating an independent environment for digital transformation to cope with the fourth industrial revolution? Thank you very much for the opportunity to come and join you in this important session. Tanzania is one of the countries in the world. We are moving towards doing digital transformation in the country. We start by putting the legal framework together, having policies, laws and regulations that will enable fast digital transformation in the country. We are reviewing the laws. We set some policies together to help this transformation. But also we are doing some investments on the infrastructure because it is also important to put the infrastructures together. You can have the legal framework but also the infrastructures. We built the ICT broadband backbone and you might be knowing we are connected to seven other countries. We are putting the infrastructure in the country but we are also connecting other countries. Thirdly, we have put some institutions together so that we have the legal framework, the infrastructure but also the institutions. We have formed, for example, the universal communication services access funds to accelerate reaching to the rural because we need to connect to the rural together. So all these together, they create a conducive environment for digital transformation in the country. Given the theme of these WTDC, connecting the unconnected to achieve sustainable development, what are the specific initiatives in Tanzania which are being taken to ensure that everyone is connected? One, as I said, is making sure there is a proper legal framework to allow accessibility to everybody. Two, to improve the infrastructure, the communication towers, especially to the rural. Connect to the schools, for example. At schools we put emphasis on helping especially the girls and the disadvantaged groups. Connect to them to access the internet but also most of the developing countries, our people have got problem in having devices, devices that will make them connected. So in our country we are now reviewing how do we subsidize helping especially people from the rural to have the devices, the smartphones, the tablets, the iPads, that will help them use the internet. We have a good number of people who have access to the infrastructure, legal framework set but they don't have devices. So we are talking with telecom operators to see how they will help their customers to have these devices so that they can access internet and this will help them to be connected. Honorable minister, would you please tell us how your ministry do just to ensure that girls, women, young people are not left behind, especially also the marginalized people? First of all, to us connecting our people, access to internet is one of the human rights. And if it's one of the human rights, we need to make sure that no one is left behind. So how do we do it? As I said, we invest. If we do the investments, it will help to have the infrastructure ready for them. Then we put centers that will help the disadvantaged group to access the services. And especially the girls, as I said, people with disabilities, the women. For example, in our country, things like financial inclusion using mobile money services is really peaking and most of them they are women. And girls, they access these services and you know, with accessing these services, then you include them. You make sure that they are not left behind. So we bridge the gap by making sure the services are available to the environment. And we put now the legal framework to allow them to participate in the connectivity. Thank you very much, Honorable Minister. Thank you very much. Thank you for your time.
