DALILA project aims to support the modernization, accessibility and market-oriented of higher education in the Partner Countries in order to contribute to the development of sustainable and inclusive socio-economic growth (in addition to national ownership, social cohesion, equity, proper geographical balance and diversity). The main priority of the project is to enhance the capacities of the target higher education institutions (HEIs) in Tanzania and Uganda on Renewable Energy and Green Economy and to strengthen the connection of HEIs with local labor market demand for skills, giving to the new experts suitable competences to invest on the field with own business challenges.The project proposal aims to answer to the growing request of energy in both countries and to the new market job opportunities in the renewable energy sector in order to contribute to poverty reduction and to identify solutions and create more access and opportunity for all students.The main objective of the project proposal is to establish n. 6 new courses on “Renewable Technologies” and “Green Business creation and development” in 2 Universities in Tanzania and 2 in Uganda. The courses will be based on an innovative approach that includes the promotion of an equal access to higher education and the facilitation of students’ transition to work.

Climate change and environmental crises are jeopardizing the sustainability of many economic activities around the globe, and in Sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, moving towards a greener economy means also to create new opportunities for technologies, investment, and jobs. The national and regional priorities in Tanzania and Uganda aim to increase independency on energy/electricity under the increasing demand and to mitigate climate change risks and environmental exploitation.
