  • USAID Tanzania Activity Briefer May 2020
    TANZANIA ACTIVITY BRIEFER MAY 2020 For over five decades, the United States has partnered with the people of Tanzania to advance shared development objectives. The goal of USAID assistance is to help the country achieve self- reliance by promoting a healthy, prosperous, democratic, well- governed, and secure Tanzania. Through partnerships and investments that save lives, reduce poverty, and strengthen democratic governance, USAID’s programs advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous Tanzania. In Tanzania, USAID engages in activities across four areas: ● Economic growth, including trade, agriculture, food security, and natural resource management ● Democracy, human rights, and governance ● Education ● Global health LARRIEUX/ USAID ALEX ALEX ECONOMIC GROWTH OVERVIEW: USAID supports Tanzania’s economic development and goal to become a self-reliant, middle- income country by 2025. We partner with the government and people of Tanzania, the private sector, and a range of development stakeholders. Agriculture plays a vital role in Tanzania’s economy, employing 65 percent of the workforce and contributing to nearly 30 percent of the economy. USAID strengthens the agriculture policy environment and works directly with actors along the production process to improve livelihoods and trade. At the same time, we strengthen the ability of rural communities to live healthy, productive lives through activities that improve 1 nutrition and provide access to clean water and better sanitation and hygiene. We also enhance the voices of youth and women in decision making by building leadership skills and access to assets, such as loans and land ownership rights. As Tanzania’s natural resources are the foundation for the country’s development, we work to protect globally important wildlife, remarkable ecosystems, and extraordinary natural resources.

  • 2019 Tanzania in Figures
    2019 Tanzania in Figures The United Republic of Tanzania 2019 TANZANIA IN FIGURES National Bureau of Statistics Dodoma June 2020 H. E. Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli President of the United Republic of Tanzania “Statistics are very vital in the development of any country particularly when they are of good quality since they enable government to understand the needs of its people, set goals and formulate development programmes and monitor their implementation” H.E. Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli the President of the United Republic of Tanzania at the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the new NBS offices in Dodoma December, 2017. What is the importance of statistics in your daily life? “Statistical information is very important as it helps a person to do things in an organizational way with greater precision unlike when one does not have. In my business, for example, statistics help me know where I can get raw materials, get to know the number of my customers and help me prepare products accordingly. Indeed, the numbers show the trend of my business which allows me to predict the future. My customers are both locals and foreigners who yearly visit the region. In June every year, I gather information from various institutions which receive foreign visitors here in Dodoma. With estimated number of visitors in hand, it gives me ample time to prepare products for my clients’ satisfaction. In terms of my daily life, Statistics help me in understanding my daily household needs hence make proper expenditures.” Mr. Kulwa James Zimba, Artist, Sixth street Dodoma.”. What is the importance of statistics in your daily life? “Statistical Data is useful for development at family as well as national level because without statistics one cannot plan and implement development plans properly.

  • Basic Demographic and Socio-Economic Profile
    The United Republic of Tanzania Basic Demographic and Socio-Economic Profile National Bureau of Statistics Ministry of Finance Dar es Salaam and Office of Chief Government Statistician Ministry of State, President ‟s Office, State House and Good Governance Zanzibar April, 2014 UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA, ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIES Basic Demographic and Socio-Economic Profile Foreword The 2012 Population and Housing Census (PHC) for the United Republic of Tanzania was carried out on the 26th August, 2012. This was the fifth Census after the Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964. Other censuses were carried out in 1967, 1978, 1988 and 2002. 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. The 2012 PHC is unique as the collected information will be used in monitoring and evaluating the Development Vision 2025 for Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar Development Vision 2020, Five Year Development Plan 2011/12–2015/16, National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) commonly known as MKUKUTA and Zanzibar Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (ZSGRP) commonly known as MKUZA. The Census will also provide information for the evaluation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015. The Poverty Monitoring Master Plan, which is the monitoring tool for NSGRP and ZSGRP, mapped out core indicators for poverty monitoring against the sequence of surveys, with the 2012 PHC being one of them. Several of these core indicators for poverty monitoring are measured directly from the 2012 PHC.
