In this regard, three days’ workshop were conducted by Mzumbe University Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Analysis (MULISA) in collaboration with the Ifakara health institute. These activities are statistical literacy, scientific writing and winning the research grants. The objective was to create a smooth environment for the sustainability of the statistical laboratory through knowledge. The participants in the workshop were students and lecturers at Mzumbe University, and researchers and interns from Ifakara Research Institute (IHI). The majority of the participants in all three days of workshop were males. The results revealed that the workshop has increased the research and publication activities among MULISA collaborators after the workshop compared to before the workshop. This noted benefit derived from the sharing the skills and collaboration during the workshop. Therefore, the collaborative workshops and training are the engineering tool for sustainability because it allows sharing of new knowledge. The collaboration in writing enhances thoughts, ideas, and knowledge transferability to the next generation.enCollaborationStatistical literacyInstitutionScientific writing and sustainabilityArticle
