According to President Mwinyi, the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar and the government of the United Republic of Tanzania are committed to giving women engineers the assistance they need. He expressed gratitude for their tremendous efforts to promoting economic endeavours and innovation in both regimes.

President Mwinyi declared that both administrations were aggressively increasing access to science, technology, and vocational education in secondary schools and higher education institutions in order to establish an atmosphere that supports chances for women. They hope to encourage more women to seek careers in engineering and other technical professions by doing this.

President Mwinyi also emphasised the initiatives being taken to better the working conditions for women and open up new business prospects for female entrepreneurs. This pledge is in line with a broader movement in Tanzania's engineering and economic sectors to promote gender parity and women's empowerment.
