Abstract:
Tanzania’s collaboration with RSIF: Tanzania participated at the 5th PASET Forum and
has expressed its intention to contribute to RSIF.
The Minister of Education, Science and Technology
represents Tanzania in the PASET Governing Council
(GC), and the Director for Science, Technology and
Innovation, sits in the PASET Executive Board (EB).
The potential of Tanzania’s innovative expansion due to
investment in RSIF is multiplied when leveraged by the
funds through matching support from various donors,
including the Government of Korea, international
partner institutions and others. By contributing to RSIF, Tanzania will benefit from
joint resource mobilization with other countries
and capacity building for PhDs and research and
innovation far into the future. PASET aims to mobilise
over USD 500 million into the RSIF permanent fund,
with an estimated 20% to be allocated to research
and innovation projects for the benefit of citizens and
institutions of participating countries. Many African
countries are interested to be part of this.
