Abstract: In 2021, Tanzania launched the rollout of its teachers' continuous professional development (TCPD) framework, popularly known as "Mafunzo Endelevu ya Walimu Kazini" ("MEWAKA"). MEWAKA recognizes that quality TCPD benefits from multiple delivery modalities and therefore operates through communities of learning at the school and cluster levels, self-learning (online), and coaching and mentorship formats. This working paper presents the findings from a process evaluation conducted on a sample of nine out of the first 26 local government authorities that started implementing MEWAKA in 2021. The evaluation was conducted by a research team from the World Bank and University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) and the President's Office-Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG).
