Zanzibar is set to use an electronic system for the issuance of industrial licenses and registration certificates for small industries that would boost efficiency and reduce the cost of doing business. This was announced by the Director of the Industries with the Ministry of Trade and Industrial Development of Zanzibar, Dr. Abdulla Abdulla during a meeting with the Business Registration and Licensing Agency (BRELA) to discuss how to implement the national law on industrial licensing and registration.
The issuance of industrial licenses and registration certificates using the joint electronic system by both BRELA and the Industrial Development Department of Zanzibar is part of the implementation of the national law on the issuance of industrial licenses and registration for small industries. The implementation of the national law on the issuance of industrial licenses and registration for small industries in Zanzibar will not be different from those issued by BRELA on the Tanzania Mainland.
The two parties will see the modality of the fee payment system that should be used to achieve the implementation of applicants for industrial licenses and registration certificates. These instructions require BRELA and the Industrial Development Department of Zanzibar to discuss the use of a joint electronic system that will be used in the issuance of Industrial Licences on the part of Zanzibar and to facilitate access to industrial data on both sides of the Union.
Tanzania Mainland, the National Law on Licensing and Industrial Registration is being implemented by issuing industrial licenses and registration certificates that are issued to small industries despite the fact that the Law has many shortcomings for not being amended for a long time. However, the two sides suggested that the Registrar be given the mandate of issuing industrial licenses, as is the case with the issuance of small industries registration certificates and industrial licensing, whereby the board should receive a report on the issued industrial licenses.

BRELA and the Zanzibar Industrial Development Department from the Zanzibar Ministry of Trade and Industrial Development have been meeting regularly to discuss the outdated aspects of the National Law on Licensing and Industrial Registration that was enacted in 1967. Among other things, the Act has empowered the Industrial Licensing Board to issue industrial licenses that are outdated due to the current system of using systems that simplify the application and issuance of industrial licenses and certificates for the registration of small industries.
