‘Uongozi’ means leadership in Kiswahili, and inspiring and strengthening leadership is the core purpose of our organisation. Established in 2010 by the Government of Tanzania, UONGOZI Institute is dedicated to inspiring and equipping Tanzanian as well as African leaders to deliver inclusive and sustainable solutions for their nations and for Africa.

We apply a holistic and mutually reinforcing approach to capacity development which recognises that leadership competencies are developed through a continuous, life long learning process. Our two strategic pillars – leadership and sustainable development – are addressed through four main areas: executive education, policy dialogues, action-oriented research, and technical support. Our clients include organisations as well as individuals from the public sector, private sector, and civil society.

The year 2019 was UONGOZI Institute’s ninth year of operation. During the year, the institute received strong demand for executive education offering 29 courses to 946 leaders. We also hosted 3 regional and 8 national policy forums that were attended by 1,528 leaders across Africa.
