The fourth Capacity and Network Project (CANP4 East Africa) held its first workshop  September 1-12, 2014 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania at the Aga Khan University Institute for Educational Development East Africa.

CANP 4 aims to build capacity in mathematics education and create a sustainable regional network with a common goal of improving mathematics education in the East African region. More than 80 participants from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda attended the two-week workshop at the Aga Khan University Institute for Educational Development East Africa, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Participants were mostly mathematics teachers, teacher educators and curriculum developers with some representation from the international mathematics education community.

The Program included a variety of highly relevant activities e.g. public lecture(s), demonstrating mathematical modelling on real life issues of significance to East Africa; keynote address (es) on significant aspects of mathematics education in the region; teacher development workshops on mathematics topics drawn from the regional high school curriculum; media engagement sessions; and opportunities for the wider community to participate in mathematical activities.
