Mission & Vision

The mission of ATE is stated in the Constitution and in the Strategic Plan. Here we have formulated a vision for where ATE will be in year 2009, which assumes or believes that Tanzania will experience sustainable economic development, accompanied with a fast-growing formal labour market:

ATE will in 2009:

• be the employer association which in social partnership negotiations has deciding influence on the formulation of labour market policies and legislation
• be the recognised and effective agent of advocacy on behalf of the majority of Tan-zanian employers
• provide one-stop, personalised solutions to members so that they can meet the challenges of and ripe the benefits of the fast-growing formal labour market

We have formulated six strategic goals to support the achievement of our vision. Three of these goals concern the re-sults of ATE's work - and are thus directly related to the vision, while three goals concern the strength of ATE needed to reach the results.

The below figure illustrates the links between the goals - i.e. that ATE needs many members, sound finances, and a competent secretariat to be able to represent member interests, assist members in disputes and conflicts, and provide high-quality services and advice to members.
