| Abstract | This is a discussion paper which tells the story of the implementation of a postgraduate distance learning programme in Africa. Twenty full-fee Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships (CDLS) awarded to the University of Bath, has enabled a local partnership to be made with the National Construction Council (NCC) in Tanzania to deliver a distance learning Masters programme in International Construction Management (ICM). This paper highlights the fact that although the delivery of the programme itself has been largely successful, the broader local capacity development remit has been limited. It is clearly recognised that what is needed, to make a significant contribution to capacity building in the Tanzanian construction industry, is a holistic ‘lifelong learning’ diet of education and support to complement the postgraduate programme. A model is proposed which would provide a framework for this challenge. This paper is seen as an example of a case which offers a creative teaching and learning strategy in the delivery of education to a targeted overseas audience. |
