In 1965, NDC was re established by the government to catalyze economic development in all sectors of the economy. After the Arusha Declaration, another role was added to NDC that of a holding corporation under the Public Corporation Act 1969 that came to an end in 1992 under the Public Corporation Act, 1992 as amended. The NDC was given a broad mandate as a development and promotion institution to stimulate industrialization in partnership with private sector under the cabin memorandum No. 6/1996 of 1996.
