The College of Business Education (CBE) in Dar es Salaam has intensified efforts to promote gender equality through inclusive policies, leadership reforms, and skills-based programs aimed at empowering women and strengthening participation across all levels.
According to a statement from CBE, the initiatives include revised admission policies to encourage female enrollment in business and technology programs, as well as mentorship schemes for women in leadership roles. The college has also established a gender desk to address complaints and monitor progress.
Dr. Edda Lwoga, CBE's rector, emphasized the importance of these measures, stating, 'We are committed to creating an environment where women can thrive academically and professionally.' The college aims to increase female representation in management positions by 30% by 2028.
These efforts align with Tanzania's national gender policy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 on gender equality. CBE plans to expand these programs to its other campuses in Mwanza, Mbeya, and Dodoma.
