Think Equal Lead Smart (TELS) Initiative Launch

The CEO Roundtable of Tanzania (CEOrt) has launched the Think Equal Lead Smart (TELS) Initiative, an initial three-year project with the potential to reshape the landscape of gender equality in Tanzanian society. The initiative is designed to foster the full and effective participation of women by creating equal opportunities for leadership across all decision-making platforms.

Supported by Vodacom Tanzania, the CEOrt, through the first phase of the Think Equal Lead Smart (TELS), aims to positively impact women by promoting gender-responsive norms, behaviours, and practices, enhancing leadership capacity, facilitating economic empowerment through financial and digital inclusion, and advocating for policy awareness and development.

The launch event was graced by Hon. Mwanaidi Ali Hamisi, Deputy Minister of Community Development Gender, Women, and Special Needs. During her address, the Minister commended CEOrt and private sector leaders for their efforts in advancing gender inclusivity in the country.
