Box 9653,Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 2Partners for Health Reform Plus, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, USA 3Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, P.O. Box 9083, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Abstract: Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) is a strategy developed by the World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa in 1998. The Ministry of Health, Tanzania has adopted this strategy for strengthening communicable diseases surveillance in the country. In order to improve the effectiveness of the implementation of IDSR monitoring and evaluating the performance of the surveillance system, identifying areas that require strengthening and taking action is important. This paper presents the findings of baseline data collection for the period October–December 2003 in 12 districts representing eight regions of Tanzania. The districts involved were Mbulu, Babati, Dodoma Rural, Mpwapwa, Igunga, Tabora Urban, Mwanza Urban, Muleba, Nkasi, Sumbawanga Rural, Tunduru and Masasi. Results are grouped into three key areas: surveillance reporting, use of surveillance data and management of the IDSR system. In general, reporting systems are weak, both in terms of receiving all reports from all facilities in a timely manner, and in managing those reports at the district level. Routine analysis of surveillance data is not being done at facility or district levels, and districts do not monitor the performance of their surveillance system.

The study employed secondary data from Dodoma region annual reports on agriculture production for 2015/2016 and data from the Tanzania National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) published reports. Descriptive statistics was used in data analysis in which descriptive features such as histogram, bar charts and tables were used in presenting the study findings. The study findings reveal that paddy, cassava, sweet potatoes and pulses have higher productivity in small planted areas posing great opportunity for investment in such crops. Similarly, under cash crops grapes, simsim, groundnuts and sunflower indicated to have high productivity which calls for investment. In the same line, vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, Chinese, onions, eggplant and carrot indicated higher productivity. The study further found that sugarcane, pawpaw and banana had high productivity, suggesting suitable investment opportunities in horticulture. Lastly the study recommends modern farming technologies including the use of well-developed irrigation systems and agricultural implements should be adopted.

  • Economic, Social and Cultural Determinants of Access to Primary Education Among Disabled Children: a Case of Dodoma and Chamwino Districts, Tanzania
    ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL DETERMINANTS OF ACCESS TO PRIMARY EDUCATION AMONG DISABLED CHILDREN: A CASE OF DODOMA AND CHAMWINO DISTRICTS, TANZANIA BY LINDA KIBIRIGE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE. MOROGORO, TANZANIA. 2011 ii ABSTRACT Despite efforts made by the Tanzanian government to provide primary education to all children, many disabled children are still out of school. Therefore, this research was carried out to determine the economic, social and cultural determinants of access to primary education among disabled children in Dodoma Municipality and Chamwino District. The main objective was to analyse factors that influence access to primary education among disabled children. The specific objectives were to: identify economic, social and cultural factors which influence disabled children’s access to primary education; assess disabled children’s access to primary education; and determine the extents to which some economic, social and cultural factors influence disabled children’s access to primary education. A total number of 120 households were involved in the study in which parents and/or guardians of disabled children were interviewed. Moreover, teachers, members of CHAVITA in Dodoma and street/village leaders were interviewed. Data were collected in November and December 2010. The data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Software, Version 16.0, in which case the main analytical model was binary logistic regression. In the model, the dependent variable was access to primary education with the following two options: has no access (0) and has access (1).
