  • Burundian Refugees in Western Tanzania, It Can Be Expected That Such Activities Would Take Place
    BURUNDIAN REFUGEES IN TANZANIA: The Key Factor to the Burundi Peace Process ICG Central Africa Report N° 12 30 November 1999 PROLOGUE The following report was originally issued by the International Crisis Group (ICG) as an internal paper and distributed on a restricted basis in February 1999. It incorporates the results of field research conducted by an ICG analyst in and around the refugee camps of western Tanzania during the last three months of 1998. While the situation in Central Africa has evolved since the report was first issued, we believe that the main thrust of the analysis presented remains as valid today as ever. Indeed, recent events, including the killing of UN workers in Burundi and the deteriorating security situation there, only underscore the need for greater attention to be devoted to addressing the region’s unsolved refugee problem. With this in mind, we have decided to reissue the report and give it a wider circulation, in the hope that the information and arguments that follow will help raise awareness of this important problem and stimulate debate on the best way forward.

  • United Republic of Tanzania FY2019 Ex-Post Evaluation Of
    United Republic of Tanzania FY2019 Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese Grant Aid Project “The Project for Improvement of Rural Water Supply in Tabora Region” External Evaluator: Hisae Takahashi, Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC 0. Summary This Project was implemented to increase the population served of the water supply and the water supply coverage in the Tabora region of Tanzania by constructing water supply facilities and procuring equipment, thus helping improve the living environment of the target areas. Its purpose is in line with the development policy and sector plan of Tanzania, which emphasizes efforts to improve access to safe water in rural areas and the need to develop water supply facilities, in addition to Japanese aid policy. Accordingly, the relevance of the Project is high. Both the project cost and period were within the plan, thus the efficiency of the Project is also high. The water supply facilities constructed in this Project have significantly increased the population served of water supply and water supply coverage in the target areas, as well as reducing the cost to purchase water. The incidence of waterborne diseases has also declined due to the use of clean water. Reducing the time of fetching water has boosted the amount of agricultural activity women can do and helped improve their lives. In addition, despite some issues, the Community-Owned Water Supply Organizations (COWSOs) established through this Project are involved in community-based Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of water supply facilities and so on, so the effectiveness and impact of this Project are high. In terms of sustainability, however, some minor problems have been confirmed in institutional/organizational and financial aspects as well as maintenance status.
