DCLI and dLab in partnership with the U.S. Government’s President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief award full scholarships for University of Dar es Salaam Students
Dar es Salaam, TANZANIA. Data Collaboratives for Local Impact (DCLI) and Tanzania Data Lab (dLab) through The U.S. Government’s President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) have awarded full scholarships to four students admitted to the inaugural class of the new two-year Master of Science in Data Science (MSDS) program at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), College of Information and Communication Technology (CoICT). Mr. Stephen Chacha, DCLI Country Coordinator for Tanzania officially announced the recipients of the four scholarships, competitively selected from 22 applicants, two of whom are women.
“The aspiring data scientists have committed to apply the skills they will gain on finding ways to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Tanzania. For example, nearly half of Tanzanians living with AIDS are unaware of their status; we hope the PEPFAR scholars can find data-based and innovative ways to focus specific intervention or strategically place testing locations to change this statistic!” said Mr. Chacha.
The scholarships are the result of a fruitful relationship between the University of Dar es Salaam College of Information and Communication Technology (UDSM CoICT) and the Tanzania Data Lab (dLab). A memorandum of agreement was recently signed extending CoICT’s commitment to host the dLab for at least five more years. The dLab will support CoICT’s in launching the Masters of Science in Data Science (MSDS), the first such Masters in Data Science in East Africa.
On his part, Dr. Honest Kimaro, CoICT Head, Computer Science and Engineering Department, on behalf of CoICT’s Principal, Dr. Mussa Kissaka, said the programme aims to develop skills in machine learning, advance data management, data analytics, and data visualization which are in high demands in the industry and public sector.
“We believe with the establishment of the MSDS programme, we will be able to meet the growing demands for data scientists at various levels including professionals, consultants and researchers, in an endeavor to fill current country knowledge and skill gaps in the data science sub-discipline,” said Dr. Kimaro.
On her part, as one of the PEPFAR Scholars, Ms. Upendo Mchome, applauded PEPFAR and CoICT for the opportunity and saying the progamme will spur decision making, and help bringing up more interventions especially in the area of HIV/AIDS.
