9. Water Institute – WI

Implementation of the 20-year Rural Water Supply Programme (1971-1991) whose goal was to provide safe and adequate water supply to all rural communities in Tanzania indicated an acute shortage of trained personnel of all cadres i.e. engineers, technicians, craftsmen, etc.

To cater to the diverse requirements of the water sector, a Water Resources Institute (WRI) was established in 1974 as a training Unit under the Ministry of Water and Energy.

In 1980, the institute’s name was changed to Rwegarulila Water Resources Institute (RWRI). This change was in honor of the late Fredrick Rwegarulila, the then Principal Secretary who played an instrumental role in the establishment of the Institute and the development of the Water sector in general; this decision came as a resolution during the 1980 Annual Water Engineers’ Conference (AWEC) held in Tanga.

During the Public Service Reform Program in the public sector, which was geared towards improving service delivery, the government, among other interventions, hid some routine government functions to be performed by semi-autonomous bodies (Executive Agencies).

The Rwegarulila Water Resources Institute was transformed into an Executive Agency on 22nd August 2008 because it was one of the organizations under the Ministry of Water performing routine functions.

During the process, the institute’s name was changed to “Water Development and Management Institute” (WDMI). However, in 2016, the Water Development and Management Institute changed its name to the current name, “Water Institute” (WI).

Programs Offered

1. Undergraduate Programs

• Bachelor’s Degree in Water Resources and Irrigation Engineering
• Bachelor’s Degree in Community Development for Water Supply and Sanitation
• Bachelor’s Degree in Hydrogeology and Drilling

10. Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology – (NM-AIST)

The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology in Arusha (NM-AIST) is one in a network of Pan-African Institutions of Science and Technology located across the continent.

These institutions, which are the proud brainchild of Nelson Mandela, envision training and developing the next generation of African scientists and engineers with a view to impacting profoundly the continent’s development through the application of Science, Engineering, Technology, and Innovation (SETI).

The NM-AIST, which is accredited by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) is being developed into a world-class research-intensive institution for postgraduate and postdoctoral studies and research in SETI. The training in SETI, however, incorporates appreciable doses of relevant business studies and humanities ingredients.

Thus, the training curriculum also incorporates vital innovation and entrepreneurship features, and hence, academia-industry solid society relations are part of the NM-AIST’s development agenda. NMAIST’s curriculum also seeks to accommodate, enable, stimulate, and catalyze innovation and entrepreneurship for the benefit of Sub-Saharan Africa’s (SSA’s) sustainable development.
