The Institute of Directors in Tanzania (IoDT) Information

THE INSTITUTE OF DIRECTORS IN TANZANIA PLC (the IoDT) was incorporated (under the Companies Act, 2002) on 27th of September, 2010 as a Company Limited by Guarantee. It is a not-for-profit membership-based organization for individuals i.e. directors and senior executives (of public and private sector enterprises), practicing professionals (academicians, lawyers, doctors, engineers, architects etc) and others (looking to pursue courses with IoDT in the anticipation that they will eventually become directors or save as the board of directors).
