The sponsorship comes as GBT expands cooperation with government institutions and other gaming regulators. In June, GBT signed an MoU<\/a> with the Prime Minister\u2019s Office \u2013 Regional Administration and Local Government (PMO-TAMISEMI) covering public awareness, information sharing, capacity building and joint monitoring of compliance with gaming laws and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GBT also hosted Kenya\u2019s National Lottery Board<\/a> (NLB) in July for a learning visit focused on Tanzania\u2019s National Lottery. The delegation examined Tanzania\u2019s legal and institutional framework, regulatory mechanisms, operational systems, technology and stakeholder engagement as Kenya prepares to operationalise its own National Lottery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sponsorship adds another institutional engagement to GBT\u2019s recent regulatory activity, alongside its work with government authorities and regional lottery counterparts. <\/p>\n\n\n
