Returning to Tanzania for the first time since 2011, eLearning Africa is the continent’s largest and most influential event on digital education, training, and skills development. This year’s gathering in May was opened by the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, President Samia Suluhu Hassan, and brought together over 1,000 participants from more than 80 countries, including ministers of educational and ICT, tech innovators, development partners, investors, and senior policymakers. 

Noah Kayanda, TFFT’s Managing Director, was able to participate in the conference and expressed how honored he was to attend saying, “It was an incredible opportunity to network and gain valuable insights from the impactful and innovative projects being implemented around the world, particularly in the African continent.” 

Held at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre in Dar es Salaam, the conference theme, ‘Rethinking Education and Human Capital Development for Africa’s Prosperity,’ reflects a growing emphasis on equipping African learners with the digital skills and tools required to thrive in a rapidly changing global economy. Kayanda was able to meet and talk to a variety of stakeholders who are doing similar work as us and noted, “this conference was particularly timely as we work on operating The Learning Centre. It has reinforced the importance of ensuring that our offerings at The Learning Centre embrace digital and eLearning solutions.”
