Sasa watendaji wetu umefika wakati mbadilike mara moja kwa kuweka malengo ya kuondoa usumbufu huo “. Alisisitiza Balozi Seif. <br /><br />Makamu wa Pili wa Rais wa Zanzibar aliupongeza Uongozi wa Benki ya Watu wa Zanzibar pamoja na watendaji wake kwa kupiga hatua kubwa katika utoaji wa huduma mbali mbali za Kibenki. <br /><br />Alisema uanzishwaji wa huduma za usafirishaji fedha kwa haraka ni kielelezo kinachodhihirisha kwamba Benki ya Watu wa Zanzibar ni miongoni mwa Benki kongwe Nchini ambayo inapiga hatua za haraka katika utoaji wa huduma zake. <br /><br />Alieleza kwamba huduma iliyoanzishwa na PBZ ya kusafirisha fedha kwa haraka kupitia mtandao wa inaternet ni huduma iliyowalenga zaidi Wazanzibari na Watanzania wanaoishi nje ya nchi waweze kutumia huduma hizo kwa kutuma fedha kwa ndugu na jamaa zao katika njia ya urahisi na uhakika. <br /><br />Balozi Seif alielezea matumaini yake kwamba matumizi ya mtandao huo yataongezeka hasa kutokana na unafuu wa gharama zake kwa vile mtumaji anapaswa kuwa na mtandao wa mawasiliano ya internet ambao utamuwezesha kutuma fedha kwa haraka na kufika mara moja. <br /><br />“ Jambo la kufurahisha ni kwamba kupitia huduma hizi za PBZ tunaweza kupata Taarifa kuhusu fedha ambazo zinatumwa kuja nyumbani kutoka kwa wenzetu walioko nje ya nchi ambazo pia zinaweza kutumiwa katika maeneo tofauti ikiwemo Bajeti ya Serikali na Mipango ya Maendeleo “. Alifafanua Balozi Seif. <br /><br />Aliwasisitiza wananchi walioko nje ya Nchi { Diaspora } kuendelea kutuma fedha nyumbani kwa kupitia mtandao huo wa kusafirisha fedha kwa haraka jambo ambalo litakuwa chachu ya kusaidia kukuza Maendeleo ya Zanzibar na Tanzania kwa ujumla. <br /><br />Mapema Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Benki ya Watu wa Zanzibar Limited Nd. Juma Amour Mohammed alisema takwimu zilizotolewa na Benki ya Dunia zimeeleza kwamba mfumo huu wa kusafirisha fedha kutoka ughaibuni kwenda kwa jamaa na ndugu kwenye mataifa yanayoendelea imeshafikia Dola za Kimarekani Bilioni mia 401. <br /><br />Nd. Juma Amour aliyataja Mataifa yaliyofaidika na mfumo huo kuwa ni India, China, Phillipines, Mexico ambapo kwa Bara la Afrika Nigeria inaongoza kwa kupokea Dola za Kimarekani Bilioni 2.05 sawa na asilimia 9% ya pato lake wakati Kenya kwa Ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki imepokea Dola Bilioni 1.2 sawa na asilimia 3% ya pato lake. <br /><br />Mkurugenzi Mtendaji huyo wa PBZ amewaomba Wazanzibar na Watanzania walioko ughaibuni kuitumia fursa hiyo yenye gharama nafuu kwa kuwatumia fedha jamaa na ndugu zao badala ya ule utaratibu wanaoutumia ambao hauko rasmi. <br /><br />Alisema Benki ya Watu wa Zanzibar hivi sasa imefikiwa kiwango cha amana cha asilimia 40% ikishikilia nafasi ya asilimia 16% ya mabenki yaliyomo ndani ya kanda ya Afrika mashariki. <br /><br />Alieleza kwamba katika kuimarisha huduma za Kibenki Uongozi wa Benki hiyo tayari imeshafungua huduma za ATM 17 ikielekea zaidi katika mtandao wa internet na Simu. <br /><br />Benki ya Watu wa Zanzibar Limited imeshafungua matawi tisa pamoja na Matatu yanayotoa huduma za Kiislamu hapa Zanzibar na baadhi ya Mikoa ya Tanzania Bara tokea kuasisiwa kwake na Rais wa kwanza wa Zanzibar Marehemu Mzee Abeid Amani Karume Tarehe 30 Juni mwaka 1966. <br /><br />Othman Khamis Ame <br />Ofisi ya Makamu wa Pili wa Rais wa Zanzibar</span></div> </div>

To accomplish this, they committed to a series of enabling actions to promote adoption of agricultural technologies: setting yield targets that support country-defined agricultural goals, identifying key innovations that can help farmers reach those targets, harnessing information and communication technologies to support agricultural growth, and promoting policy reforms to improve the enabling environment for agricultural investment that will lift millions out of poverty. </span></span></div> <div class="yiv3002031239MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">  </span></span></div> <div class="yiv3002031239MsoNoSpacing" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1372854900030_9926" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1372854900030_9925" lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The Scaling Seeds and Technologies Partnership will help deliver on these New Alliance commitments. By strengthening seed and input sectors, the Partnership’s efforts will leverage technology’s tremendous potential to spur agricultural growth in Africa, which in turn can catalyze broad-based economic growth, improve smallholder incomes, and reduce hunger, poverty and stunting in children. These gains will also help partner governments meet the country-determined agricultural priorities they set during the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Plan (CAADP) process. </span></span></div> <div class="yiv3002031239MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">  </span></span></div> <div class="yiv3002031239MsoNoSpacing" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1372854900030_9928" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1372854900030_9927" lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">”The Scaling Seeds and Technologies Partnership will help strengthen seed sectors, including regulatory systems, and create new local seed companies, ensuring that game-changing technologies can reach and improve the lives of millions of smallholders,” said USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah. “The United States will continue to support this and other New Alliance efforts through Feed the Future, President Obama’s global hunger and food security initiative.” </span></span></div> <div class="yiv3002031239MsoNoSpacing" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1372854900030_9929" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">  </span></span></div> <div class="yiv3002031239MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“We have seen great progress in the development of seeds and other agricultural technologies in recent years.

This partnership with USAID will enable us to scale up this work and ensure that even more smallholder farmers can benefit from these extraordinary technologies,” said Jane Karuku, President of AGRA. </span></span></div> <div class="yiv3002031239MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">  </span></span></div> <div class="yiv3002031239MsoNoSpacing" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1372854900030_9931" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1372854900030_9930" lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">By helping African farmers access improved seeds, inputs, and complementary technologies, the Scaling Seeds and Technologies Partnership helps boost agricultural productivity, food security, and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa.  To kick off its new coordination role, the Seeds and Technologies Partnership held an inaugural workshop this week in Nairobi, Kenya, where USAID and AGRA representatives consulted with key government, research, donor and private-sector partners on strategies for coordination and collaboration.
