As part of the implementation of the project titled” GEOICT4e (i.e. Social innovations in Geo-ICT education at Tanzanian Higher Education Institution's for improved employability”), Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) conducted a Multicompetence Challenge Learning (MCL) Campaign for 8 weeks starting from 1st August 2022 to 23rd September 2022.
In the MCL campaign, participants, most of whom were 2nd and 3rd-year undergraduate students from BSc Forestry learned how to develop solutions for addressing a broader umbrella challenge on urban ecology management using a multi-disciplinary learning approach as well as open-source geospatial tools, such as QGIS, Open Data Kit, Earth Explorer, Google Map, and Google Earth Pro.

The main outcome of GeoICT4e is that the Tanzanian universities have improved management and teaching capacities in the impact-driven and socially innovative geospatial and ICT education, leading to graduates’ better employment.
