zanzibar education cooperation
A partnership project between Ausbildungsverbund Teltow (AVT), the Karume Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), and the Zanzibar Association of Tourism Investors (ZATI)
Project Components
Zanzibar is facing a dual challenge: access to clean water is limited in many areas, and there is a significant shortage of skilled professionals to address the issue. At the same time, tourism is booming, requiring sustainable infrastructure and local know-how.
New Training Paths: Water Technology Level 4, 5 and 6
We are developing new training curricula for water technicians – together with public and private stakeholders. A strong emphasis is placed on gender equality and modern teaching methods.
Instructor and Master Trainer Qualification
High-quality training depends on qualified instructors. We provide targeted further training for instructors and master trainers who act as multipliers. Special efforts are made to support and empower women in technical education.
Awareness in the Tourism Sector
Everyone has a role to play in water management – especially in tourism. Through targeted workshops, videos, and information campaigns, we are raising awareness for the responsible use of water and identifying the skillsets needed for new professions.
