SLU is actively engaged in the bilateral cooperation with Tanzania. The agreement period for this programme between Sweden and Tanzania financed by Sida is 2015 - 2020. The main focus during the agreement period lies on research capacity building and institutional capacity building. The postgraduate training will take place both at universities in Tanzania and in Sweden (sandwich students). The programme has been extended until March 2024.
Below is a list of the seven subprogrammes where SLU are involved as collaborators. If you want to know more about the projects, please contact the SLU collaborator for each subprogramme.
Improved well-being and poverty alleviation in Tanzania, through effective use of research results, innovations and highly trained human resources for informed decision making in matters pertaining to land, environmental management and human settlements development is the main objective of the overall programme.
