Thomson Foundation's team of experts spent three year's helping Tanzania introduce its new national television service
Thomson Foundation was asked to draw up a master plan for the introduction of a national television service for Tanzania, in 1992 one of the few countries in the world without one. This included planning and equipping studios in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma and Arusha, a recruitment, pay and training strategy and a two-year staff training programme. The launch of the TV service coincided with the foundation's upgrading of Tanzania’s Information Service.
