1. 0 UNIVERSITY OF BAGAMOYO PROFILE
University of Bagamoyo [UB] is new, independent, privately established and non partisan university owned by two institutions; Tanzania Legal Education Trust (TANLET) and The Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC). Steps towards UB establishment were taken in a modest style on 31st January 1987 when a nongovernmental institution called Tanzania Legal Education Trust (TANLET) was established. This was a trust for achieving through education; inter alia, a free, national democratic society based on the principles of social equity and social justice.
TANLET created a legal and human rights project in 1994 which eventually resulted to the establishment of the Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC). In 2006 TANLET Board made a deliberate decision to establish training institution that would promote legal education in Tanzania. On 17th October 2007 TANLET informed the LHRC of its intention to establish a new University at Bagamoyo with a view to providing integrated formation to young Tanzanians.
On the 7th August 2009 the LHRC unanimously endorsed the University of Bagamoyo project and decided to participate in its establishment as co-owner. On 28th January 2010 UB registration Application was lodged at the Tanzania Commission for Universities. On 15th February the Council of the Prospective University of Bagamoyo held its inception meeting. Between 22nd and 23rd February 2010 the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) Accreditation Inspection Team conducted 1st accreditation inspection of UB facilities at Dar es Salaam and Bagamoyo. UB‟s main campus shall be constructed at Kiromo, Bagamoyo. According to UB‟s Five years Rolling Strategic Plan, teaching will start at Dar es Salaam campus by September 2010.
1.1 THE HISTORICAL REASON OF UB
Like other Universities, the founding of UB has been predicated by momentous changes that are taking place in Tanzania. At the current state, Tanzania badly needs high quality, high level education and training. The ratio of one high level graduate to four school entrants has to be reached before the nation can take off in its mission to social and economic development. The creation of the UB was conceived as an opportunity of transforming the LHRC work done over the last 15 years into a new qualitative level which could only be accomplished through an institution in the nature of a university. Tanzania needs a qualitative leap in its social and economic development, from a copy- cat type into a self reliant, confident and self conscious nation. Tanzania needs a new liberation education that can disentangle it from dependency syndrome. Tanzania needs young educated
10
civil society capable of generating and sustainably propelling changes in all sectors of social economic life. Tanzania needs an intelligentsia that thinks outside the existing knowledge box we find ourselves in.
Both the LHRC and TANLET acknowledged the apparent lack of good leaders that could lead the change movement in Tanzania and Africa. The LHRC and TANLET realise that blaming the current leaders is not helpful. It only aggravates the hopeless situation that Tanzania and the rest of Africa is in. The fact that the majority of current leaders were never trained to be leaders of any sort makes finger-pointing a less productive exercise. Tanzania and Africa needs well trained leaders to be able to move away from the present bad governance taking place in Tanzania and Africa.
Also the two civil societies accepted the fact that hitherto, the mainstream education content imparted to the youth of this nation has been aimed at producing „job seekers‟. They deliberately decided that the new university should intervene into the knowledge creation industry in order to produce „self employment and job creators‟. The focus of UB shall therefore be to produce graduates who will employ themselves and provide employment to others. The tailoring of knowledge in UB shall be done so that the graduates off-load into their production and service-delivery businesses so that in terms of output, the University becomes the nerve centre of a new social and economic basis of the new Tanzania.
This means that the burden of providing this new type of higher education cannot be left upon the government. It has to come from somewhere else, and that place is in free and independent higher education institutions like UB. While the government is expanding primary and secondary education, it is necessary that efforts be directed with same vigour to providing a new type of higher education. The patriots who have founded UB are Tanzanian citizens whose patriotism puts them at the helm of the national education policy. For these reasons the responsibility of promoting higher education can‟t be left upon the government alone. While the government is expanding primary and secondary education, it is necessary that efforts be directed with same vigour to higher education. The patriots who have founded UB are Tanzanian citizens whose patriotism puts them at the helm of the national education Development.
Bagamoyo as derived from etymology of “bwaga moyo” was the act of slaves hurling their tired bodies to the ground celebrating the end of the long torturous caravan route from interior. The route spanned hundreds of kilometres from Congo to Bagamoyo and walking through this long torturous route bonded in chains and carrying several kilogrammes of trade wares such as ivory, gold etc. was the height of human suffering and endurance.
11
The ancient slave trade gives Bagamoyo a historical heritage that is rare and exquisite. UB turns this otherwise dark, exasperating and ignominious part of human history into an exquisite cultural engagement aimed at making Bagamoyo a learning centre of excellence for critical culture, governance and tourism. This role shall make Bagamoyo a gem not only in East Africa but Africa and the world. Enjoying Bagamoyo‟s exquisite cultural heritage is Tanzania‟s offer of hospitality to the whole mankind.
The University of Bagamoyo shall in the meanwhile offer new dimensions and contribution to science, technology, and liberal arts never known to man before. Through the establishment of UB, the founding fathers have bequeathed to the nation and mankind, a priceless pearl in the white soothing sands of Bagamoyo. Therefore Bagamoyo stands to be the most suitable place for the situation of this university named Bagamoyo University where the pangs of ignorance and its endpoints will be extinguished. Therefore, the generations that will pass through the Bagamoyo University can proudly utter “Through Bagamoyo we were enslaved and through Bagamoyo we were liberated”
1.2 THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES OF UB
TANLET, a nongovernmental (NGO) institution dealing with legal education in Tanzania has championed the idea of establishing this private University at Bagamoyo. TANLET founded the Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) in 1995 in order to give the struggle for legal and human rights in Tanzania a requisite focus and emphasis. By then Human rights were unknown and any one found talking about human rights was seen as an enemy of the state. Currently, LHRC is an independent, non governmental and not for profit sharing national human rights institution. The LHRC is a success story, because, thanks to the hard work done by LHRC activists, in less than two decades human rights have become a national agenda.
The idea of founding a university is part and parcel of TANLET‟s vision to seek the achievement of a free democratic Tanzania. This is based on the principles of social justice, equity and peace. The good work done by LHRC needs to be uplifted to a higher level. The nation needs a University that can teach, research and perform consultancy services in legal and human agenda. Since researches done, and experience gained by both TANLET and LHRC indicate that legal and human rights agendas are being severely harmed by lack of good leaders in both state and private sectors, the two civil society organisations decided to team up and create a university of to meet their perceived solution to the situation.
Both TANLET and LHRC draw from same vision and mission which includes, inter alia, the empowerment of the Tanzanian public with education in a socio-economic context with a view to creating strong democratic civil society
12
that respects democratic constitutionalism, the rule of law and good governance. Within this theoretical framework TANLET and LHRC believe in integrated formation that aims at a holistic nurturance of a human being. Development of mental faculties must go hand in hand with spiritual development that can tailor and produce a refined human being and leader of a new type.
The UB concept takes leadership and individual personality nurturance as core elements in its programmes. Both the Governing Board of TANLET and LHRC want the UB to begin in a modest style with faculties as resources permit. The strategy is to utilise available resources to the maximum advantage and yield capacity. UB shall therefore focus on those fields of knowledge that founders already have sufficient strength on in terms of human resources. Secondly, owners shall guide the founding faculty to design curricula focusing on fields of knowledge whose initial investment is not too huge to make the concept an illusion. That is to say UB shall aim at establishing its niche in rare areas of knowledge that currently East Africa and Africa do not have.
1.2.1 UB VISION
To be and remain a unique centre of excellence in offering university education in the World.
1.2.2 UB MISSION
To nurture and develop socially conscious, committed and ethical human being through integrated holistic formation.
1.2.3 UB GUIDING PHILOSOPHY
The guiding philosophy of UB shall be: "To lead is to show the way”.
1.3 INFRASTRUCTURAL PREPAREDNESS
The UB concept revolves around integrated formation that aims at a holistic nurturance of a human being. The initial head quarters are situated at plot 706, Sembeti street off old Bagamoyo road close to Oxford University press in Mikocheni area. The office is in operation and fully prepared for the takeoff of the University.

1.3.1 ACCOMODATION FACILITIES
The UB currently will have teaching lecture halls located at Ursino Estate in Mikocheni and Kimara stop over. These are equipped with computer facilities that will serve as teaching tool and resource for information and academic materials.
Initial library facility is located at Ursino Estate incorporating most relevant academic text books and other sources to facilitate reference need for the university students.
It will be noted however, that boarding hostels will be under construction at Bagamoyo in proceeding years. Prospective students will be advised to get prepared to source this service outside the university at the initial stages.
14
1.4 SOCIAL WELFARE
Social life at the UB should generate fun among other infotainment activities. Students together with the other members of the UB community will actively engage in sports, music, art and other cultural activities. Social clubs, faith groups, professional, academic and political associations shall be freely established and registered by the Director of Student Affairs. This is to enable the University Community to create an environment of dialogue, debates, discussion and dynamic human welfare.
1.5 ACCREDITATION OF UB
In establishing the University of Bagamoyo, the Founders have complied with the legal procedures for the establishment of universities stipulated by the Universities Act, 2005 and the Universities (Chartering, Registration and Accreditation Procedures) Regulations, 2006. Pursuant to this legal framework, the UB Founders lodged requisite application and forms for the accreditation of UB in January 28th 2010 and the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) sent an Inspection Team on 22nd February 2010. On 22nd February 2010 the team inspected UB teaching facilities at Kijitonyama, Ursino, Kinondoni and Stop-Over Kimara. On 23rd February 2010 the team visited the 100 acre each UB plots of land at Kiromo and Makurunge in Bagamoyo. The team made several recommendations that have now been implemented. The TCU has satisfied itself that the Founders have completed all the procedures and requirements and after have inspection allowed UB to start its programmes in November 2010.
1.6 UB STRATEGIC (ROLLING) PLAN
UB as a new university, has a Rolling Strategic Plan (2010), a Business Plan (2010) and an Implementation Master Plan (2010). The creation of this new university shall be complete by 2020 when the construction of the main campus at Bagamoyo township is expected to be complete. Meanwhile the University headquarters are transitionally located at Mikocheni B, 709 Sembeti Street, off old Bagamoyo road in Dar es Salaam. Various colleges, faculties and schools of the new University constituting the Dar es Salaam Campus are transitionally located at different places in the city of Dar es Salaam, pending the construction of the main campus at Bagamoyo.
The transition towards the completion of the new university also envisages the establishment of other UB colleges that shall be established once facilities and their faculties are ready.

11.1 INTRODUCTION
The Bagamoyo University is a private University aimed at offering students equal opportunity for academic excellence and individual growth. It also aims at the global integration of its endeavours and it stand to promote qualitative academic programs and research.
The ever changing nature of Information and Communication Technologies necessitates the need to design academic programs that will be flexible enough to go with the dynamism of these changes. Bagamoyo University as a new Institution is spear heading in this endeavour.
The global challenge is huge basing on the foreseen gapes in the current structures of educations standards. The gravity is high on the science fields and therefore the University of Bagamoyo unanimously empower the college of science to spear head the changing trends in science from early stages of academic levels possible.
11.1.1 RATIONALE
With the current increase in the use of Computer Science or in general Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and a global trend towards a Knowledge-based Economy, Bagamoyo University is obliged to start a program in computer science at a postgraduate diploma level. This is necessitated by the fact that, there are already many higher learning Institutions which are offering undergraduate degrees and diplomas in this field. This trend will put the University at a level of modern world where almost all higher learning institutions must have these programs. The postgraduate diploma will act as a bridge for those who want a change of career by doing M.Sc. in computer science. This concerns Computer Science graduates who didn‟t meet M.Sc. entry requirements (low GPA) and non Computer Science graduates. The postgraduate diploma program will be under the college of science and ICT.
Comprehensive industry survey has been conducted to establish the needs for Computer Science and Information Technology graduates in Tanzania at Postgraduate diploma level. It is clear that a major emphasis of the tertiary education will need to be the acquisition of appropriate practical skills, which will enable the graduate to be productive from the first day of their employment. These practical skills need to be underpinned by theoretical concepts, thus enabling the graduate to advance that knowledge as the market place changes in the future.
75
The Bagamoyo University intends through well trained and natured professionals to produce many energetic individuals who will be job creators than job seekers. Science will be one of the strongest means to achieve this goal, hence the college makes the following objectives.

12.3 UB LEADERSHIP, GOVERNANCE AND DIPLOMACY CENTRE.
12.3.1 INTRODUCTION
The University of Bagamoyo leadership, Governance and Diplomacy Centre (UB LGDC) is located in Dar es Salaam at Plot 709, Mikocheni B, Sembeti street. It is hosted in the headquarters of the University of Bagamoyo as an inter- university institution for teaching leadership, governance and diplomacy to all students taking diverse programmes offered by the University.
The Leadership, Governance and Diplomacy Centre aims at resolving the leadership challenge in Africa. The Centre is a deliberate step to turn around Africa‟s underdevelopment by deliberately training socially conscious, ethical and committed leaders for Africa‟s good governance.
12.3.2 OBJECTIVES OF UB LGDC
i. Educating, training and nurturing socially conscious, committed and ethical leaders through an integrated holistic formation.
ii. Creating a corruption free public and private service for good governance in Africa.
iii. Training committed leaders who put the interests of the people they serve first and see themselves as their servants instead of pursuing
131
their personal interests and seeing themselves as masters of the people they serve.
These objectives make the UB a university with a difference. Its vision of being and remaining a unique centre of excellence in offering university education in the World, is well placed within the imperatives of Africa‟s
development agenda. The University of Bagamoyo is not just another institution of higher learning. Its mission is ‘nurturing and developing socially conscious, committed and ethical human
being through integrated holistic formation’.
This mission challenges UB to deliver a compact of knowledge in its programme offerings with a view to producing graduates who have been tailored to be world citizens and world class professionals. Hand in hand with this global mission, UB has a challenging mission of offering leadership and good governance programmes that will produce for Africa graduate leaders.
UB has what it takes to mould socially conscious and ethical graduates who are academically and professionally and ready to take up leadership roles in the civil society both in private and public sectors. UB believes that to lead is to show the way. This means that establishing itself as a leader in training and nurturing leaders already makes UB a leader among other universities.
12.3.3 THE UB LGDC ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANS
The UB LGDC is headed by an Executive Director who has overall administrative authority over day to day running of the centre. Subject to the Charter, Rules and regulations of the University, the UB LGDC Executive Director is accountable to the UB LGDC Governing Board, the latter which is accountable to the senate and the University Council.
The tenure of office, salary and emoluments of the UB LGDC Executive Director and other staff of the LGDC shall be in accordance with the University scheme of service with the exemption of any allowances and or benefits that are special and specific to the centre.
The UB LGDC Deputy Director is the assistant to the Executive Director. He reports and receives assignments from the Executive Director and acts as the Executive Director during the absence from office of the Executive Director.
The UB LGDC Executive Secretary is the head of the UB LGDC Secretariat. The Executive Secretary has the responsibility of managing the centre and is the secretary to the UB LGDC Governing Boa
132
12.3.4 UB LGDC STAKEHOLDERS
UB LGDC is a university wide institution with a special duty of training leaders for Tanzania, Africa and the world. This mandate gives it a national and international significance. It is a support structure for institutionalisation of democracy and good governance at both national and international levels.
In this regard therefore, the UB LGDC shall strive to establish links and contacts will all the stakeholders in the area of democracy and good governance. The UB LGDC funding arrangements, working relationships, institutional culture shall therefore assume and adopt global ethical standards and codes of good practices.
12.3.5 THE UB LGDC PROGRAMMES
12.3.5.1 INTRODUCTION
The UB LGDC programmes are university level academic and professional training programmes aimed at educating, training and nurturing good leadership for Africa and the world in general. The UB LGDC draws international students from Africa and the world generally. The backdrop to the establishment of the UB LGDC is the disturbing reality of Africa‟s continuing underdevelopment.
The truth is that although Africa is endowed with natural resources, including minerals, fauna, flora, sea and inland water resources and agricultural products, it has remained a poor and underdeveloped continent. Contemporary Africa lacks the capacity to provide sufficient energy, food, industrial goods and services required by its people.
In the past African leaders found it convenient and normal to blame slavery, slave trade and colonialism for Africa‟s underdevelopment. Today, more than 50 years since the first African state, Ghana achieved independence in 1947, Africa is increasingly moving towards underdevelopment amidst acts of political barbarism, genocide, failure of states and disintegration.
The majority of African states still suffer from illiteracy, famine, diseases, and abject poverty and corruption. African scholarship is increasingly associating corruption, indolence and unethical leadership with Africa‟s underdevelopment. Therefore most informed people associate Africa‟s underdevelopment with the lack of well educated, ethical and committed leadership.
The Founders of UB believe that Africa‟s lack of good leaders can in a greater part, be explained as a consequence of absence of leadership training programmes in institutions of higher learning. The UB LGDC has been
133
established to remedy this apparent gap in efforts and processes that are being directed against the challenge of Africa‟s underdevelopment.
Therefore the UB LGDC is a deliberate effort to offer university level education, professional training and nurturance in leadership science, skills and practices as a sustainable approach to resolving the challenge of bad governance in Africa.
The UB LGDC programmes have four components parts, namely the public leadership empowerment programme, the undergraduate programme, the postgraduate programme and the judicial administration programme.
12.3.5.2 THE PUBLIC LEADERSHIP EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME
This is a capacity building qualifying programme aimed at developing leadership skills for leaders, potential leaders with special emphasis on young leaders and females. The programme is designed to train leaders for short qualifying empowerment courses with a view to improving leadership quality.
12.3.5.3 THE UNDERGRADUATE LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMME
This is the main leadership training programme that will be taken as a compulsory part of all academic programmes offered by the University of Bagamoyo. The purpose is to improve leadership quality and quantity in Africa and the world. Leadership is the hallmark of UB graduate‟s professional qualifications.
12.3.5.4 THE POST GRADUATE LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMME
This is an elite leadership training programme aimed at training graduate students as leaders irrespective of their Alma matter. The objective of this programme is to improve leadership quality in Africa and the world generally. The post graduate products of UB shall be professional leaders capable of good leadership and innovation within competitive global social economic development imperatives.
12.3.5.5 JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION FELLOWSHIP
The judiciary plays a pivotal role in the good governance and democracy matrix. The separation of powers and the rule of law principles would be empty shells if nothing is done to create a competent, professional, ethical and socially conscious judiciary. The theory of justice has a social context without which law becomes a means of stealing from the people their basic human rights.
134
The University of Bagamoyo Judicial Administration Fellowship aims at enabling judicial personnel i.e magistrates and judges to re-tool, upgrade and or advance their legal knowledge and skills through professional competence building training programmes and academic qualifying degree programmes.
The output of the programme is to have in place highly trained and professional judicial officers with leadership skills and who are ethically and socially accountable. This is purely an executive training programme aimed at improving the professional competence of the judiciary.
