  • 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.

Masanja, PhD Department of Geography, St. Augustine University of Tanzania, Tanzania P.O. Box 307 MWANZA, TANZANIA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study was conducted in a cereal-tobacco farming system in Sikonge District, Tabora Region. The objective of the study was to determine the implications of forest resource demand by the ever growing population. A social survey was conducted in the period 2011-2012. Randomized stratified multistage sampling using proportionate population sizes was employed to select 365 households and six institutions in the study area. Assessment of vegetation cover change was based on time-series satellite images and repeated aerial photographs. Data processing and analysis was accomplished by the use of ERDAS Imagine Version 8.7 and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results revealed that depletion of closed woodland between 1984 and 2012 was 46.7 hectares per year on average. Likewise, cultivated land increased by an average of 265 (0.8%) hectares annually within this time period. The expansion of cultivated land was at the expense of the Miombo woodlands fueled by internal and external socio-economic drivers led by population growth, agricultural expansion, domestic fuel wood and charcoal and increased demand for tobacco curing.
