Day Six

Today we visited the University of Dar Es Salaam. First, we met up
with the Director of the Entrepreneurship Program, UDEC (University of
Dar Es Salaam Entrepreneurship Center), and he gave a nice tour &
overview of the school.

There are about 30,000 students, 5,000 of which are post-grad, about
35% are women - with less than 20% engineering students being women.
80% of students will make it through their first year.

Next we listened intently to a presentation by Stephano Kingazi,
Agricultural Professor, pursuing his PhD at UDES. He really projected
an inclusive perspective by explaining the history of Tanzania, where
they are going right now with the Private Sector Development Strategy,
and an overview of Tanzania's Key Economic Sectors, explaining the
struggles & opportunities.
