TANZANIA Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) will finance three projects to be carried out by two universities after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The two higher learning institutions are the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), which will research on the use of Information and Technology to improve management of road safety and the University of Dodoma (UDOM) which will research on cyber realm and applying mobile technology for drugs verification. Speaking during the award of the research fund ceremony in Dar es Salaam yesterday, the TCRA Director General Prof John Nkoma, said the two universities were selected out of the 22 higher learning institutions which had submitted proposals. "UDOM will receive 200m/- per year for two projects while UDSM will receive 100m/- per year for one project," said Prof Nkoma. UDOM Vice-Chancellor, Prof Idris Kikula, thanked the TCRA for the support and he urged other local organs to emulate the authority. The Dean of College of the Informatics and Virtual Education at UDOM, Dr Leonard Msele, said the project would help to give a clear picture of the cyber crime. On his part, UDSM senior lecturer, Prof Nerey Mvungi, said 75 per cent of the road accidents were caused by reckless driving while the rest per cent is caused by human error, saying there was a need to introduce policy and stern measures to control road accidents.
