DIRECTORATE OF PLANNING, RESOURCE MOBILIZATION & DEVELOPMENT (D-PReMoD)
The Directorate of Planning, Resource Mobilization and Investment (PReMoD) was established in 2020 to oversee all resource mobilization and investment activities at the former TUDARCo, which was transformed into the Dar es Salaam Tumaini University (DarTU) in January 2024. To take off the Directorate was charged with coordination of the resource mobilization, investment and management activities in the implementation of the Five Year Rolling Strategic Plan I (2020/21 – 2024/25) of the university which was launched in November 2020. The strategic plan is the anchor, in which an organization’s programs, structure and systems, as well as financials, are reviewed and new business opportunities are identified. DarTU resource mobilization is critical because first, it ensures the continuation of the institution’s service provision to clients, second, it supports the university’s sustainability and it allows for improvement and scale-up of products and services the University currently provides.
The University is required to seek new directions or new business opportunities as a resource mobilization strategy, among others, writing of project proposals, preparation and submission of grant applications, or drafting business plans. DarTU, being a private institution of higher learning is currently largely dependent on students’ tuition fees to finance its core operations.
