The data were analyzed using content analysis where the role of VICOBA microcredits in promoting sustainable industrialization and challenges limiting the same were categorized as themes for the study. The findings from the study revealed that VICOBA microcredits have played the following roles on the promotion of sustainable micro and small scale industrialization in Kilimanjaro Tanzania: Supporting the production of raw materials, act as a source of entrepreneurial industrial ventures and facilitate training in industrialization matters. Also, the study revealed that the challenges faced by micro and small scale industries owned by VICOBA members were low productivity, unreliable markets for the products, low trust by the community and inadequate capital. The paper recommends that the government of Tanzania should support VICOBA clients to promote their contributions to the industrialized economy in Tanzania.
