Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST) is a public institution in northern Tanzania based in Arusha City.^[1] The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology in Arusha (NM-AIST Arusha) is one in the network of Pan-African Institutes of Science and Technology located across the continent. The NM-AIST Arusha, which is accredited by Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) is being developed into a research intensive institution for postgraduate and postdoctoral studies and research in Science Engineering and Technology (SET).
