16.5 Kibweta Cha Mwalimu Nyerere on Leadership and Ethics Studies (Centre for Leadership
and Ethics Studies) 16.5.1 Introduction The Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy (MNMA)
was established by an Act of Parliament No. 6 of 2005. Historically the Mwalimu 
Nyerere Memorial Academy originated from the Kivukoni Academy of Social Sciences(
KASS), established on 29th July, 1961. It has a history of being the only institution
which has sustainably maintained a track record of building the capacity of public
leaders to practice ethical leadership, particularly during the error of the one-
party national leadership and governance system. This function was abolished from
her core function in 1992 when we adopted a multi-party system of national leadership
PROSPECTUS FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2025/2026 173 and governance. However, since then,
there have been increasing public outcries on dominating unethical leadership and
governance along the time horizon. Based on her obligation to contribute to the 
national welfare, the Academy did competitive initiatives to respond to the public
needs by re-establishing a centre for leadership and ethics studies, “Kibweta cha
Mwalimu Nyerere on Leadership and Ethics Studies” which is vested with the responsibility
of building capacity in leadership, ethics and governance to both public and private
social and economic actors in Tanzania and beyond. 16.5.2 Leadership Ethics and 
Governance Training Programme The Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy, at her Kivukoni
Campus; through the “Kibweta cha Mwalimu Nyerere, has been coordinating a “Leadership,
Ethics and Governance Training Programme” since July, 2015. This training programme
was officially inaugurated by the President of the United Republic of Tanzania; 
His Excellence Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete on 13th April, 2015. The Kibweta cha Mwalimu
Nyerere on Leadership and Ethics Studies aims to impart leadership ethics and governance
knowledge, skills and wider attributes to public and private servants. This will
synergize initiatives made by local, regional and global stakeholders towards sustainable
attainments of competitive social and economic welfare. In particular, each programme
will have distinctive specific objectives tailored towards facilitating participants
to develop their capacity in leading and governing competitively while portraying
ethical practices in the emerging trends. 16.5.3 Training Specific Objectives In
implementing her obligations, the Kibweta cha Mwalimu Nyerere focuses on facilitating
participants to achieve the following specific objectives: i. To obtain a theoretical
and practical understanding of leadership, ethics and governance theories, principles
and models, and consequently apply them in workplaces. ii. To develop skills for
problems and conflict management, negotiations and diplomacy. iii. To explore in-
depth strategic planning, project management and entrepreneurship and iv. To develop
personal leadership and managerial skills. 16.5.4 Training Programme Clusters The

NYERERE MEMORIAL ACADEMY 16.6 The Confucius Institute (CI) From November, 2015, 
The Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy (MNMA), in collaboration with the Confucius
Institute (CI) at the University of Dar es Salaam and the government through the
Confucius Institute in China has been offering Chinese language courses in the main
campus of Kivukoni. Since the introduction of Chinese language learning programmes
by the Confucius Institute in Tanzania, many young people and adults have been trained
in Chinese language courses in various centres operating under the Confucius Institute,
including the MNMA. For example, more than 600 Tanzanians have been taught the Chinese
language. About 8000 Chinese language graduates at the CI are employed in China 
companies in Tanzania. It is clear that, due to the growing economic ties between
China and Tanzania, the demand for Tanzanians to learn the Chinese language to create
more opportunities is increasing. 16.6.1 The Chinese Language Training Programme
The Chinese Language courses that the MNMA offers are “Chinese Language for Beginners”,“
Chinese Language Level 2” and “intermediate Chinese”. Students pursuing Chinese 
language courses in those three levels also have opportunities to sit for HSK and
HSKK examinations from level one up to level four. HSK and HSKK are Chinese Proficiency
exams that qualify one to secure chances for a scholarship to study or work in China
or in Chinese-affiliated institutions and companies elsewhere. Chinese Language 
in the Academy is now offered as an “elective course”. Students enrolled at the 
MNMA in any NTL level will therefore have options to study CL 00101, CL 00201 and
CL 00301 for “Chinese Language for Beginners”, “Chinese Language Level 2” and “intermediate
Chinese” respectively. In line with the growing ties between Tanzania and China,
the Academy is introducing diploma and bachelor’s degree courses in Chinese to prepare
Tanzanians to learn, teach and share cultural values and enhance innovation and 
technology acquisition. The bachelor’s Degree programme is expected to commence 
after The National Council of Technical Education (NACTE) approves it. 16.6.2 The
General Goal of the Chinese Programme The main aim of the Chinese Programme at the
Academy is to enable students and the communities as a whole to understand the importance
of the Chinese language in forging economic, educational, technological and cultural
ties between the two countries of China and Tanzania. PROSPECTUS FOR THE ACADEMIC
YEAR 2025/2026 181 16.6.3 Specific Objectives of the Chinese Language Programme 
i. To train students the Chinese language to equip them towards working, teaching
or trading in either of the countries based on the long history of Tanzania-China
friendship. ii. To Provide information and consultation on China’s educational and
cultural programmes such as scholarships, educational collaboration, cultural exchanges
and tours iii. To Train Chinese language instructors iv. To coordinate the Chinese
proficiency tests (HSK AND HSKK) v. To conduct Chinese language and cultural activities.
16.6.4 Basic Technician Certificate(s) NTA Level 4 a) Module Objectives i. To attract
learners’ interest in learning the Chinese language. ii. To enable students to understand“
