In 2007, the Department of Development Finance and Management Studies (DFMS) was established within the legal framework of the Institute to provide training programmes. The Department was born out of the sheer need of the Institute to expand and reach out to many clients with its noble goal of contributing to the implementation of national development plans for the social and economic development of Tanzania and other developing countries. In 2008, the Department started offering its first long-term programmes: Bachelor's Degree in Development Finance and Investment Planning (BDFIP)—the first batch of students for the named programme graduated in November 2011.
