The presentation is describing the Resilience Academy work that was conducted from 2018 in Tanzania in coordination with four local Tanzania universities with other International universities in Europe and America. The resilience Academy aimed among others to equip young students with skills that will provide more opportunities for future digital job employments in Tanzania and around the world.
