MIT-Africa Collaborating for Impact
Risha Chande and Joost Bonsen.
December 5, 2018 5:00PM Whitehead Institute Auditorium, 455 Main Street, Cambridge
In the past few years, Tanzania has slipped from being a well-regarded partial democracy into an autocratic and repressive state which is the subject of international condemnation. In this increasingly restrictive context, civil society, though cowed, continues to push back and try to mitigate some of the damage. The talk will highlight major trends in governance and politics in Tanzania, drawing on qualitative reviews, documentation of key events and citizen poll data, and will provide examples of civil society response through specific cases and new ideas to navigate this new terrain.
Risha Chande, Senior Advisor, Communications, for Twaweza East Africa, will cover major trends in governance and politics of Tanzania
Joost Bonsen, Lecturer at MIT's Media Arts & Sciences will dicuss building MIT support for entrepreneurship in Africa
Dinner will be provided. RSVP here.
