Rural Tanzanian Action Research Initiative

Who are we?

We are a joint research initiative of the Competence Center for African Research of the University of St. Gallen and the Institute of Development Studies of the University of Dar es Salaam in cooperation with the Swiss foundation farip. We promote collaboration between Swiss and Tanzanian students on agricultural and forestry innovation in remote Tanzania. We promote cultural exchange and knowledge sharing through action research to tackle social and climate-related challenges. We support students in selecting research topics for their theses and help coordinate their research trips. We invite you to invest your Bachelor, Master, PHD thesis or any other research efforts in the vibrant landscapes of Tanzania.
