Yesterday, UNDP Tanzania strengthened its partnership with the State University of Zanzibar (SUZA) as part of our ongoing efforts to grow future talent and foster collaboration on research and innovation. UNDP Resident Representative Shigeki Komatsubara met with SUZA Vice Chancellor Prof. Mohammed Madame Haji to explore how universities can play a pivotal role in addressing community challenges and driving economic development through higher education. A key highlight of the collaboration is the WAsteX Lab Innovation Challenge, co-implemented with UNICEF, which has become a center of excellence for SUZA and opened doors to new funding opportunities. Additionally, UNDP will facilitate the university's hosting of the Kapuscinski Development Lectures (KAPTalks) - https://lnkd.in/ezZGG3r, offering students the opportunity to engage with global development experts. #HigherEducation #TalentDevelopment #Innovation #SustainableDevelopment #UNDP #Partnerships
