In some of these initiatives UCC participates as an independent entity but the company sometimes serves as a shareholder with the University of Dar-Es-Salaam in many projects.

Who have we rubbed shoulders with?
Sida/SAREC:UCC and Sida/SAREC engaged in a partnership that was very beneficial to the company. Initial collaborations afforded academic capacity building for all UCC members of staff. Other relations with Sida/SAREC lead to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure development at UCC. The partnership between UCC and Sida/SAREC was also very instrumental in pioneering E-learning development at UCC.

DELFT University: UCC has also enjoyed close friendship ties with other institutions such as DELFT University which have resulted in ICT professional development for staff members and UCC infrastructure development through MHO project.

The NTPs of IICD in Tanzania have been very instrumental in providing institutional management and technical skills training, tailored to the needs of the Tanzanian project partners. One of the NTPs in Tanzania is University of Dar es Salaam Computing Centre (UCC).

Tanzania Free and Open Source Software Association (TAFOSSA): The mandate of TAFOSSA dates back on 4th February, 2004 when the participants of the Seminar on Free and Open Source organized jointly by the University of Dar es Salaam Computing Centre (UCC),The International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD) and COSTECH unanimously adopted a resolution to establish a national umbrella organization with general objective of harnessing the potentials of free and open source software for supporting national developmental goals as spelled in Tanzania's National Vision 2025 and reiterated in Tanzania's National Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Policy of 2003.
