Purpose-built to close the capacity gap in East African education through world-class training and consulting.
Oramah Capacity Building Initiative (OCBI) was founded in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania with a clear mandate: to close the capacity gap between where Tanzanian schools and training institutions stand today and where international standards demand they should be.
Tanzania's Education Sector Development Plan 2025/26-2029/30 reveals a financing gap of TSH 3.62 trillion and explicitly invites Public-Private Partnerships to bridge it. Yet fewer than a quarter of the country's teachers have received any form of Continuous Professional Development, while the national Pupil-Teacher Ratio sits at 55:1 and climbs to 76:1 in underserved regions.
OCBI addresses these pain points with a modular, scalable portfolio spanning six service lines, with revenue diversified across government contracts, B2B private-school engagements, donor-funded programmes, and direct employer upskilling in the tourism and hospitality sector.
To become East Africa's most trusted partner in transforming education quality, ensuring every learner and educator can access world-class training and standards.
OCBI empowers Tanzanian schools, educators, and training institutions to achieve measurable improvements in teaching quality, administrative excellence, and international accreditation through contextually relevant, technology-enhanced professional development programmes.
