Background
The agreement was signed in 2006 and is based upon the new Norwegian strategy for assistance to higher education and research in Tanzania.
In addition to this strategy, a Joint Task Force was established in the beginning of 2005, with the purpose of establishing a new model for cooperation according to the new strategy. The members of the Task Force were representatives from the institutions, the Embassy, the Norwegian Agency for Development (Norad) and SIU, in addition to the representatives from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security in Tanzania. A final report was presented to the Embassy in November 2005.
Focusing on results
In 2007, started SIU to implement a new administrative framework for following up the institutional agreements. In the further process, SIU will emphasize getting results from the activities, and wish to prioritize different forms of dissemination of results related to development and research at the institutions.
