DANISH VOLUNTEERS TRAINING CENTRE (DVTC)
The history of MS TCDC dates back to April 1967, following the execution of a bilateral agreement between the Governments of Denmark and Tanzania. At the outset, the bilateral agreement created the Danish Volunteers Training Centre (DVTC), set up to teach Kiswahili language skills and provide cultural orientation for Danish volunteers working in the country.
MS TRAINING CENTRE FOR DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION
The Centre gradually widened its scope to incorporate standard professional skills courses relevant to the African context for development workers and, in 1991, changed its identity to MS Training Centre for Development Cooperation (MS TCDC) to reflect the shift.
In 2008, MS TCDC got full registration by the NACTE to offer academic programs. Remarkably, in 2013, MSTCDC started to offer Accredited Certificate in Governance and Development and Diploma in Governance and Development courses.
TCDC IN THE 70s
The Academic Department traces its roots to 1994 when the MS TCDC and Development Studies centre in Ireland established a diploma program for community development officers aimed at providing opportunities for disadvantaged communities, primarily pastoralists, to acquire educational qualifications necessary for participation in the mainstream decision-making structures.
