Kenya School of Government (KSG), Director General Prof. Nura Mohamed led a delegation comprising Dr. Prisca Oluoch, Director Linkages and Collaboration and Ms. Elizabeth Ngava, Principal Administration Officer, during the State Visit of H.E. President of the Republic of Kenya to the United Republic of Tanzania on May 4-5, 2026.

During the visit, the School reinforced its commitment to regional collaboration following signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between KSG and the Tanzania Public Service College (TPSC), aimed at strengthening cooperation in public service training, institutional capacity building, research, and knowledge exchange.

On May 4, 2026, the Director General on behalf of the School formally signed the MoU with TPSC- an engagement that was witnessed by the Heads of State of the Republic of Kenya, H.E. William Ruto, and the United Republic of Tanzania, H.E. Samia Suluhu Hassan, at State House, Dar es Salaam.  

The KSG-TPSC agreement was among eight bilateral instruments signed during the State Visit, reflecting the growing strategic partnership between Kenya and Tanzania across various sectors.

Through joint programmes, collaborative research, and professional development initiatives, the partnership is expected to enhance the quality of public service delivery in both countries.

The two Heads of State witnessed ratification of bilateral instruments which are expected to broaden cooperation between Kenya and Tanzania in infrastructure development, trade facilitation, regional logistics, public service, security, and energy. These agreements reflect the growing strategic partnership and complementarity between the two neighboring nations.

During the bilateral talks, H.E. President Ruto praised the agreements as a reflection of the strong Kenya–Tanzania partnership, urging swift implementation of the commitments. He called for the 5th Joint Commission session later this year, highlighted the need to unlock the region’s tourism potential, and recognized the vital role of Governors and regional leaders in driving cross-border cooperation and economic growth.

Following the signing ceremony, further engagements were held on May 5, 2026, with the leadership and staff of the Tanzania Public Service College, led by the Rector and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ernest Mabonesho. Discussions focused on developing a practical implementation framework for the partnership.

The KSG delegation had opportunity to tour the TPSC headquarters, the Dar es Salaam Campus, and the Global Learning Centre underscoring the importance of translating the MoU into concrete outcomes that will deepen cooperation between the two institutions.

Dr. Mabonesho expressed appreciation to the Kenya School of Government for the goodwill demonstrated in bringing the collaboration to life, describing it as both strategic and timely.

Prof. Mohamed advanced this further by proposing joint activities through design and delivery of high-level training programmes that drive innovation and progress across East African Community (EAC) member states.

Beyond reinforcing bilateral relations, the partnership is also expected to contribute to the strengthening of the East African Community (EAC) through the development of curricula and programmes focused on public sector leadership, governance, and regional integration.

The engagements concluded with a shared commitment to the immediate implementation of the agreed areas of cooperation, highlighting the dedication of both institutions to advancing public sector excellence and sustainable regional partnerships across East Africa.
