Dodoma, — Tanzania’s National Environment Management Council (NEMC) is leveraging this year’s Public Service Week to highlight its environmental protection efforts and promote transparency, innovation, and stakeholder engagement.

Speaking at the event, NEMC’s Acting Central Zone Manager, Mr. Novatus Mushi, stated that the Council is using the platform to showcase its key services, disseminate findings from recent environmental research, and educate the public on critical environmental issues affecting communities across Tanzania.
“The Council is committed to ensuring all Tanzanians live in a safe and sustainable environment. This week allows us to demonstrate how we are making our services more accessible while building awareness around environmental protection,” Mushi said.
NEMC is also emphasizing the adoption of digital tools to streamline environmental governance. Services such as online registration for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are being featured, underscoring the Council’s efforts to modernize and align with investor-friendly regulatory frameworks.
“We are making deliberate efforts to improve the ease of doing business in Tanzania, particularly for investors concerned with environmental compliance,” said Mr. Nicodemus Tindwa, Manager of Human Resources and Administration at NEMC.
“Digital transformation is central to this mission, ensuring our processes are faster, more transparent, and more inclusive.”he added

Public Service Week, celebrated annually across Tanzania, features participation from ministries, agencies, and regional administrations.
The event includes live demonstrations, educational outreach, and on-site service provision, reflecting the government’s broader push toward accountable and citizen-centered governance.
