Sector Advisory committee

The development of trade-oriented industrialization Policies and Strategies is a vital aspect of the process of export promotion. Trade sector stability can only be achieved depending on the manufacturing sector’s capacity to supply goods demanded by the foreign market. As such, in order to ensure competition in the manufacturing sector, it is a great necessity to build coordination and collaboration among industry sectors with the objective to overcome challenges and gaps prevailing in the existing regulatory mechanism that negatively influences industry development.

The Ministry has obtained cabinet approval No 21/0985/320/030 dated 29 June 2021 to establish sector advisory committees in compliance with the provisions of the Industrial Promotion Act No. 46 of 1990. According to the cabinet approval, 20 Sector advisory committees were established under this Ministry.
