USAID's Investments for Education and Social Services in Tanzania - Dollars to Results (Pilot Project)
Why Our Work Matters…
Education impacts health, economic growth, and food security. Across the world, increasing the average level of higher education in a country by just one year can add half a percentage point of growth to gross domestic product.
USAID/Tanzania has leveraged $45 million in matching funds from three U.S. companies and two Tanzanian companies in order to integrate technology in all primary schools in Zanzibar and the traditionally underdeveloped Mtwara region. The program is designed to enhance the quality of education for primary school students in math, reading and science as well as enable Tanzanian children to cross the digital divide.
USAID's Education and Social Services program in Tanzania aims to:
- Provide social assistance, and
- Improve basic education.
