Moshi Co-operative University (MoCU) and the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar have agreed to further strengthen their cooperation in developing the cooperative sector as part of broader efforts to stimulate economic growth, create employment opportunities, and empower citizens economically.

The agreement was reached on November 7, 2026, when the Vice Chancellor of Moshi Co-operative University, Prof. Alfred Sife, held a meeting with the Minister for Labour, Employment, Youth and Empowerment of the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, Hon.
