The 9th<\/sup> UONGOZI Institute Graduation Ceremony will be held on 15 May, 2026 at the Mlimani City Conference Hall, Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guest of honour will be Hon. Ridhiwani Kikwete (MP), Minister of State, President\u2019s Office \u2013 Public Service Management and Good Governance. The keynote address will be delivered by H.E. Dr. Elsie Kanza, Ambassador of Tanzania to the United States of America. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is organised to celebrate the accomplishments of those who have completed the Institute\u2019s long-term executive programmes: Postgraduate Diploma in Leadership (PGD), Certificate in Leadership (CiL), Women\u2019s Leadership Programme (WLP), and Emerging Leaders Programme (ELP). About 230 leaders will graduate. The event will also celebrate the Institute\u2019s 15th anniversary and the launch of its fourth strategic plan (2026\/27 \u2013 2030\/31).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four programmes aim to develop competencies in personal leadership, people leadership and organisational leadership. They are dedicated for leaders, from all sectors, who want to propel their professional development without putting their careers on hold. The faculty consists of experts in the field of leadership development from across the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PGD, CiL, WLP, and ELP are designed and delivered in collaboration with Aalto University Executive Education and Professional Development (Finland), HAUS Finnish Institute of Public Management (Finland), and Yale School of Management (USA). They are implemented with support from the governments of Tanzania and Finland, as well as the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participation in the event will be by invitation only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
