Background 

Since 1982, Tanzania and Belgium have collaborated on innovative projects to drive sustainable development. Enabel has been at the forefront of these efforts, and its current portfolio focuses on key sectors including: 

• Gender and Education 

• Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)

• Circular economy and green growth

Enabel aims to strengthen partnerships, especially with the private sector and non-traditional donors—to drive innovation, scale impact, and enhance sustainability.

Implemented in partnership with the African Union, UNESCO and several European Member States (Belgium, France, Finland & Estonia), the initiative aims to strengthen teacher governance, improve teacher education and professional development, and enhance the attractiveness of the teaching profession. Enabel is one of the implementation partners.
