5.0 UTEKELEZAJI WA SHUGHULI ZA SHIRIKA LA TIRDO

5.1 UTANGULIZI:-

Kwa muda mrefu tangu kuanzishwa kwake shirika la TIRDO kama mashirika

mengine yanayotegemea ruzuku kutoka Serikalini ili kuendesha shughuli zake

Shirika limepambana na changamoto nyingi hasa kutokana na ukosefu wa

fedha. Aidha ukosefu wa fedha pia umesababisha kutokamilika kwa baadhi ya

majengo ambayo yangetumika kama maabara za kufanya utafiti na upimaji

ubora na usalama wa malighafi na bidhaa zinazozalishwa viwandani ili kutoa

ushauri wa kitaalamu kwa wazalishaji.

Pamoja na matatizo hayo, kwa mwaka 2016/17 Shirika limeweza kufanya tafiti

mbalimbali na kutoa huduma za kitaalamu viwandani kwa kutumia fedha za

6

wahisani na fedha za ndani. Baadhi ya Tafiti zinazoendelea ni kama ifuatavyo;

1. Mfumo wa kijani wa usindikaji zao la muhogo usiozalisha taka kwa ajili ya

kuimarisha masoko kwa ajili ya wazalishaji wadogo na wakati, (Greener

cassava processing system leading to zero waste for enhanced

market access by small and medium entrepreneurs). Mradi

unafadhiliwa na USAID ambapo unahusisha kukausha muhogo kwa kutumia

kaushio la jua na kutumia mabaki ya maganda ya muhogo kuzalisha gesi

ambayo inatumika pia katika kaushio nyakati za usiku ama wakati wa mvua.

Mradi wa ukaushaji muhogo na uzalishaji gesi kwa kutumia maganda ya mihogo

2. Mradi wa kuongeza thamani katika taka ngumu za ngozi na kuzalisha bidhaa

mbalimbali za ngozi (Value addition on solid leather waste to produce

leather boards). Mradi ulianzishwa kwa Fedha za Utafiti chini ya COSTECH

na sasa umeingizwa katika bajeti ya Maendeleo ya Serikali.

3. Kujenga uwezo wa kuzalisha kwa biashara uyoga wa kawaida na ule

unaotumika kama dawa (Capacity building for commercial production

of Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms in Tanzania) Mradi unatekelezwa

kwa kushirikiana na chuo cha Hubert Kairuki chini kwa kupitia Fedha za utafiti

chini ya COSTECH.

4. Kutathmini hali halisi ya sekta ya ngozi na nguo nchini (Status of leather

and textile sector in Tanzania). Utafiti huu ulifanyika katika kitengo cha

7

Nguo na Ngozi hapa Shirikani na kuweza kutoa andiko katika majarida ya

kimataifa (Pulication) na pia kuwasilishwa katika mikutano na wadau wa ngozi

nchini.

5. Kutumia mabaki ya mbegu za mafuta katika kutengeneza chakula chenye

protein nyingi (Utilization of Tanzanian oilseed meals to develop high

protein foods and wellness ingrediantes). Utafiti huu unafanyika kwa

kushirikiana na kituo cha Utafiti nchini India – CSIR

6. Kutathmini taka ngumu zitokanazo na usindikaji wa mafuta ya kula kwa ajili

ya kuboresha uzalishaji biogesi itokanayo na kinyesi cha ng’ombe

(Characterization of spent bleaching earth and improvement of

biogas through supplementation of manure). Utafiti huu unafanyika kwa

kushirikiana na CSIR India na umetokana na mahitaji ya viwanda katika

kuongeza thamani katika mabaki yatokanayo na usindikaji mafuta na

kutumika katika kuzalisha bidhaa nyingine na vilevile kutunza mazingira.

7. Uzalishaji wa Citric Acid kutokana na aina mbili za viazi visivyoliwa

(Production of Citric Acid from two Non-Edible yam species) Utafiti

unatekelezwa chini ya makubaliano na Taasisi ya Utafiti nchini India -CSIR

8. Utengenezaji wa mbinu za gharama nafuu za kibiolojia za kutathimini uchafuzi

wa maji katika mito ya nchi za joto za kiafrika (Development of cost

effective biomonitoring methods for assessing water pollution in

tropical Africa rivers, (Julius, Doctoral study)

9. Tathimini ya uchafuzi wa hewa unaosababishwa na ndege katika uwanja wa

kimataifa wa ndege wa Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyeyere (Assessment of

Aviation Emisions at Julius Nyerere International Airport JNIA in

Tanzania and their effects on Air Quality of neighboring community

(Jacqueline Mwenda, Doctoral study).

10. Uchunguzi wa madhara ya mabaki ya viuatilifu katika mazao ya mbogamboga

kwa walaji wa mkoa wa Arusha (Investigating Human Exposure of

8

Pesticides residue through vegetable consumption in Arusha region

(Purificator Andrew, Doctoral study).

Aidha Shirika limetoa na linaendelea kutoa huduma za kitaalamu za Upimaji

ubora wa majaa ya mawe (Coal Quality Testing), Matumizi bora ya Nishati

(Energy Auditing), Mazingira (Environmental Auditing), Upimaji wa

Kihandisi bila kuharibu vifaa (Non Destructive Testing) kwenye mabomba

ya gesi, maji, mabwela (Boilers) na upimaji wa ubora wa vyakula.

Vilevile katika kipindi cha 2016/17 Shirika kwa kutumia wataalamu wake wa

ndani limeweza kutengeneza na kufufua vifaa vya maabara (scientific

equipment) na hivyo kuweza kuokoa Fedha nyingi ambazo zingetuka aidha

kununua vifaa vingine ama kuleta wataalamu kutoka nje ya nchi kufanya

matengenezo. Utaalamu huu ukiendelezwa utaweza kusaidia taasisi nyingine

nyingi za Serikali na hata viwanda kuweza kufufua vifaa na mitambo iliyokufa

na hivyo kuokoa gharama kubwa na muda. Vifaa hivyo ni kama

inavyoonekana katika jedwali;
