This abstract focuses on the Resilience Academy which represents the commitment of the World Bank to improve Tanzania’s skill base and to maximize the impact and sustainability through the establishment of university partnerships that transfer skills and risk management tools to the next generation.

The Resilience Academy concept embraces the idea that supports the development and sustainability of geospatial and urban resilience competencies in Tanzanian universities and thus enhances the sustainability of digital data set management and eventually risk management practices in Tanzania.
