15 Internship Vacancies at Mzumbe University March 2026, Mzumbe University was established by the Mzumbe University Charter, 2007, enacted under Section 25 of the Universities Act, 2005 (Act No. 7 of 2005), which repealed and replaced the Mzumbe University Act, 2001 (Act No. 21 of 2001).
The University has over 50 years of experience in training fields such as administration of justice, business management, public administration, accountancy, finance, management science, and good governance.
The origins of Mzumbe University date back to 1953 when the British Colonial Administration established a Local Government School aimed at training local Chiefs, Native Authority Staff, and Councillors. After Tanzania’s (Tanganyika) independence, the training scope expanded to include Central Government Officials, Rural Development Officers, and Local Court Magistrates.
The Arusha Declaration in 1967, which led to the nationalization of private businesses and the decentralization process of 1971, significantly increased the demand for skilled human resources.
In response, the Local Government School was amalgamated with the Institute of Public Administration of the University of Dar es Salaam in 1972, forming the Institute of Development Management (IDMMzumbe). IDM served as a higher learning institution for training professional managers in both the public and private sectors.
Recognizing the Institute’s growth and evolving national and international human resource needs, the Government transformed IDM into a fully-fledged Public University through the Act of Parliament No. 21 of 2001 (the Mzumbe University Act, 2001). Today, Mzumbe University operates under the Mzumbe University Charter, 2007, which governs its operations and management.
Deadline: 11 March 2026
