The “Tanzania Internationalization Strategies for Higher Education (TANZIE)” aims to strengthen the internationalization efforts of selected Tanzanian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) through institutional development that enhances the quality of teaching, research, and international collaboration.

TANZIE is a European Union funded Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) project championed by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) in collaboration with European partners: Alicante University – Spain and Saarland University – Germany.

CUHAS is a proud beneficiary of this project, along with Mzumbe University, Muslim University of Morogoro, and Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology.

Project Specific Objectives

• Enhance the institutional capacities of Tanzania HEIs to effectively plan, implement, and evaluate internationalization initiatives, including the development of strategies and international offices.
• Foster intercultural competencies among faculty, staff, and students contributing to a globalized learning environment.

TANZIE Implementation at CUHAS

• Establishment of an International Office to ensure sustainability of project outcomes and drive the internationalization agenda of CUHAS.
• Capacity building for CUHAS staff through targeted training programs aimed at improving management knowledge, research skills, and international engagement.

TANZIE Project Kick-Off

CUHAS delegates joined other TANZIE partners in Spain for the official Kick-Off Meeting held on 6th–7th May 2025 at the University of Alicante, which is the coordinator of the project.

The meeting provided in-depth knowledge of the project’s framework, guidelines, and expected outcomes. Partners had the opportunity to network and lay the groundwork for long-term collaboration.
