Expression of Interest: Donation of Obsolete ICT Equipment

1.    Introduction

Management and Development for Health (MDH) currently possess a number of ICT assets, including desktop computers, laptop computers, printers, monitors, desk phones, and related accessories, that have reached the end of their useful life. Most of these assets are obsolete, non-functional, or uneconomical to repair and maintain. MDH intends to donate the items to eligible educational institutions for learning, practical training, research, and ICT skills development. This initiative supports community development, promotes digital literacy, reduces electronic waste, and aligns with MDH’s commitment to responsible asset management and corporate social responsibility. The proposed donation will be conducted in accordance with MDH asset disposal procedures, donor requirements, and the laws, regulations, and policies of the United Republic of Tanzania.
