“The #COVID19 pandemic had initially slowed down learning activities in Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA) centres throughout the country. On June 29, after carefully evaluating the situation, the Government of Tanzania decided to reopen all schools. To ensure pandemic’s e­ ects are minimized in VETA centres, the E4D programme has responded by delivering 60 infrared thermal detectors to VETA and ordering 5000 masks that will be delivered to VETA at a later date. According to #GIZ project manager in Tanzania, Awadh Milasi, the support of E4D and other local and international stakeholders is vital for helping VETA centres deliver their services with reduced risk to sta­ members and students. “E4D is committed to ensuring that personal protective equipment are available within the 39 VETA centres, as a short-term measure,” said Milasi. VETA, which has 302,369 students enrolled countrywide, is led by Director General Dr. Pancras M. S. Bujulu. “On behalf of VETA Management and sta­ , our sincere appreciation for GIZ’s consideration to provide the highly needed gear for protection against the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Dr. Bujulu’”

“Earlier today, I had an opportunity to host Dr. Shogo Mlozi Sedoyeka, CEO for National Tourism College (NCT) who paid courtesy visit to GIZ. We had really insightful discussions about how #German #Tanzania cooperation can skill-up local Tanzanians and promote employment in tourism sector during and beyond #COVID situation.”
