About the Ministry

Message from the Principal Secretary

Welcome to the official website of the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Youth and Empowerment, Zanzibar. Our Ministry is committed to promoting decent work, expanding employment opportunities, advancing youth development, and empowering citizens to contribute to Zanzibar’s social and economic progress. This website provides a platform for accessing information about our services, programmes, policies, and opportunities. We invite jobseekers, workers, employers, young people, development partners, and the wider public to explore the available resources and engage with the Ministry. We recognise that meaningful progress depends on collaboration. By working with communities, the private sector, and our partners, we seek to strengthen skills development, support entrepreneurship, promote productive employment, and build inclusive pathways to economic empowerment. As we serve the people of Zanzibar, we remain guided by professionalism, transparency, accountability, and a commitment to accessible and responsive public services. Your feedback and participation will help us improve our services and respond to the needs of those we serve. Thank you for visiting our website. Together, let us build a Zanzibar where every individual has the opportunity to work, grow, and prosper.
