Tanzania expands education cooperation through strategic engagements in Ottawa

Tanzania has strengthened its international education diplomacy following a high-level working visit to Ottawa, Canada, where new opportunities for collaboration in the education sector were opened between the two countries. In addition to meeting with officials from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and participating in the Connections Conference organised by the Colleges and Institutes Canada (CiCan), the delegation held talks with the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) in Canada, focusing on strengthening ongoing development programmes implemented in Tanzania with support from Canadian partners. The discussions explored ways to enhance collaboration in education and development initiatives. The engagement also involved cooperation with AKDN institutions, including the Aga Khan University Tanzania, particularly in advancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.
