Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

Following a tour of China in September 2006, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) agreed to provide financial and technical assistance to the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM, Revolutionary Party) in order to build two ideological colleges in Iringa and Tunguu in Zanzibar. The colleges would be used to mould outstanding cadres for the CCM, with courses of study ranging between three and one years. It is likely that the school in Tunguu is the new campus for the State University of Zanizbar (SUZA) to be completed by the end of 2011 referenced in the CCM education document, but no references could be found for the school in Iringa (although it is likely in Dar es Salaam). The current status of this project is yet unknown. According to media reports, The Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Leadership School, which was funded with $40 million by the Chinese Communist Party, opened on February 23, 2022. This school locates in Dar es Salaam.
