The Tanzania Data Lab (dLab), as a non-governmental organization has been formed in June 2018 as a progression of the three successful projects named; Tanzania Data Lab (dLab), Data Zetu and Data for Local Impact Innovation Challenge (DLIIC). The three projects were serving as anchors for the Data Collaborative for Local Impact (DCLI) program, enabling data analysis and use to become more prominent in decision making in Tanzania. These projects were funded by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) which is the U.S. Government initiative to help save the lives of those suffering from HIV/AIDS around the world, and these projects were implemented by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
