The material has been prepared at the request of CICRED, as part of its contribution to the objectives of the World Population Year, 1974. In common with other developing countries of Africa, the East African countries are becoming acutely aware of the importance of rapid population growth and its significance to the attainment of development objectives. It has become increasingly clear that with the current rates of growth and the limited resources, the burden of socio-economic development programmes has become more serious. The search for alternative strategies to development must therefore focus attention on the impact of accelerating growth rate which leads to retardation of the rate of economic and social development.

  • Medicines Regulation
    WHO Drug Information Vol. 30, No. 4, 2016 Medicines regulation Comparison of medicines legislation in the East African Community Efficient and aligned regulatory systems are crucial in ensuring access to medical products of assured quality. However, marketing authorizations of needed products are often delayed as researchers and manufacturers must navigate multiple regulatory requirements to register their products across countries. In the East African Community (EAC), efforts are under way for harmonization of technical requirements for medicines regulation. This article presents a comparison of legal and regulatory frameworks for the regulation of medicines in EAC partner states. The findings show some commonalities but also differences and gaps, underlining the need for convergence towards a common medicines regulatory framework in line with international standards.

However, marketing services of the Tanzanian Federation of Cooperatives are limited and complaints of lack of access to markets and low prices for Cooperatives in Tanzania cooperative members’ crops are very common.

The 2012 PHC, like previous censuses, will contribute to the improvement of quality of life of Tanzanians through the provision of current and reliable data for policy formulation, development planning and service delivery as well as for monitoring and evaluating national and international development frameworks.
