Clouds Media Group: From Tanzania to East Africa’s Digital Frontline

With over two decades of pioneering impact in Tanzanian radio, television, and youth engagement, Clouds Media Group has become a cultural institution. This new partnership builds on that legacy—now extending it into the domains of cybersecurity, content-tech, datacenters, telecom messaging, and digital literacy.

The collaboration includes:

• Establishing East Africa’s first regional Cybersecurity Operations Center (CSOC) to support both government and private sector cyber resilience.
• Launching cloud-native datacentre infrastructure to power smart media, enterprise solutions, e-government services, and data sovereignty initiatives.
• Introducing secure telecom messaging platforms and eSIM-based services for national alerts, enterprise engagement, and citizen interaction.
• Leading digital awareness campaigns on safety, education, health, and entrepreneurship—delivered through Clouds’ expansive media network.
• Training over 10,000 East African youth and professionals in cybersecurity, AI, digital media production, and telecom technologies over the next 3 years.

A National and Regional Impact

This initiative aligns with Tanzania’s Vision 2050 and supports broader East African Community digital goals. It blends content infrastructure with secure, scalable technology to create an inclusive digital ecosystem benefiting citizens, startups, governments, and enterprises.

“Joseph Kusaga is not only a media pioneer—he is now becoming a regional digital enabler,” said a spokesperson from Calculus Networks. “Our role is to bring the technology muscle. But the heart and vision come from Clouds."

Pioneering Datacentre Infrastructure for East Africa

A cornerstone of this partnership is the design and deployment of sovereign-grade datacenters across East Africa. These centres will serve as digital anchors for both government and private sector applications—ranging from e-government services and national registries to enterprise cloud platforms and smart content delivery.

With Clouds Media Group providing unmatched content and reach, and Calculus Networks bringing deep infrastructure expertise, the initiative will spark a wave of new services, including:
