This was our first in our series of Dodoma digital workshops, it was held at Nala Centurion hotel in Dodoma town on the 15th of September 2018. The workshop aimed at equipping important digital skills to the business communities and the society including SMEs, CBOs, Startup businesses, entrepreneurs, individual business men/women and students.
