Tanzania Breweries PLC (TBL) and Vodacom Tanzania Plc have launched a capacity-building initiative for 150 retailers in Mwanza through the Retailer Development Program (GRIT). The training aims to equip local entrepreneurs with essential skills in business management, financial oversight, and the use of digital solutions to enhance profitability and operational efficiency.
