HRH Conference
In the spirit of continuing the legacy of the 3rd President of the United Republic of Tanzania, His Excellency Late Benjamin William Mkapa who passed away on 23rd July 2020, the Benjamin W. Mkapa Foundation (BMF) has developed an institutional framework that continues to establish a living and maintainable impact on the self-sustainable development initiatives of the United Republic of Tanzania. The Mkapa Legacy commemoration framework is operating under the United Republic of Tanzania leadership and priorities in close collaboration with the Mkapa Foundation.
The first two Mkapa Legacy commemoration events (2021 & 2022) have set a fundamental base towards enhancing innovative and aligned multi-prong strategies that have contributed to the ongoing structural, systemic, and service delivery improvement and progress towards meeting the set national health outcome in a multisectoral approach. The year 2024, the Mkapa Foundation in collaboration and under the overall leadership of the United Republic of Tanzania hosted the 3rd Mkapa Legacy Summit from 29th to 31st July 2024.

This entails hosting a half-day high-level Mkapa Legacy Summit on 31st July 2024, which was preceded by a 2-day National Human Resource for Health Conference on 29th and 30th July.
