Tech & Media Convergency (TMC) is an award-winning organization committed to advancing digital innovation and fostering a knowledge-based society through strategic ICT solutions, enhanced Internet Governance, and digital empowerment. With a strong focus on Technological Adaptation, TMC advocates for good Internet and data governance, technological innovation, digital security, and the integration of emerging technologies to drive social progress. TMC works tirelessly to promote ethical digital practices, ensuring a transparent, accountable, and inclusive digital ecosystem in Tanzania.

TMC's focus on Internet Governance led to the creation of the Internet Governance Tanzania Working Group (IGTWG), an influential platform for multi-stakeholder collaboration. This initiative brings together diverse actors from government, civil society, academia, the private sector, and technical communities to address digital governance challenges in Tanzania and promote ethical practices in ICT policy and regulation. Through its advocacy, research, and consultations, TMC contributes to strengthening digital rights and governance across Tanzania.

TMC's outstanding contributions to digital innovation and governance have been recognized with two prestigious accolades at the inaugural ICT Awards 2025 (TEHAMA Awards), launched by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology in partnership with the ICT Commission. TMC is an award-winning organization, having earned recognition for its exceptional contributions to digital governance and technology-driven social impact. In the category of "ICT for Social Impact: Bridging the Digital Divide," TMC was recognized for effectively leveraging technology to connect communities, close the digital gap, enhance access to digital resources, and empower underserved populations. Furthermore, in the category of "ICT Security: Best Practices in Data Protection," TMC was celebrated for its best-in-class data protection strategies that ensure privacy, security, and trust in digital ecosystems.

In addition to these accomplishments, TMC stands out as the only organization in Tanzania with a dedicated program aimed at capacitating non-profits with technological adaptation and digital transformation. Currently, TMC is working to equip 400 NGOs with expertise in Data Governance by 2025 and 2026, ensuring they are prepared to navigate the evolving digital landscape and make data-driven decisions.

TMC is an active member of several influential global and regional networks, including the ITU’s Partner2Connect Digital Coalition (P2C), National Democratic Institute’s Global Info/tegrity Network, World Press Freedom Day Tanzania Committee, Tanzania AI Community, Net Rights Coalition, #KeepItOn Coalition, and the Internet Governance Tanzania Working Group. These memberships reflect TMC’s ongoing commitment to shaping the future of digital rights, security, and governance at both local and international levels.

TMC is also recognized as a committee member for the Africa IGF 2025 in Tanzania, reflecting its leadership role in Internet Governance across the African continent. The organization continues to lead efforts to empower organizations and individuals, ensuring that technological advancements benefit all segments of society, especially those traditionally underserved.
