Global Platform Tanzania (GPTZA) - hub for Social Entrepreneurship in Africa

 GPTZA has been run by ActionAid Denmark as a training centre for African youth since 2010. The activities at GPTZA are supporting the mission of ActionAid International, a worldwide movement of people committed to end poverty together and create development. Through education and awareness building in both rich and poor countries, we provide citizens with tools, skills and knowledge to enable them to act collectively to bring about social change.

GPTZA offers a range of month-long trainings within ActionAid Denmark’s Global Change framework. In addition to these long trainings we offer a range of one-week Toolbox trainings. Our target group for the trainings is African youth. GPTZA also hosts a range of events free of charge targeting urban youth in Dar es Salaam. In addition to the trainings and events GPTZA coordinates the Global Volunteer programme for young Danes volunteering across Tanzania, and contributes to the Global Citizens’ College – a bi-annual four-month programme for Danish, Kenyan and Tanzanian youth.
