PROGRAMME BACKGROUND A. Programme Origin I.1. Over 80 percent of Tanzanians live in rural areas and depend on agriculture for all or part of their livelihood. Agriculture contributes 50 percent of the GDP and 54 percent of the nation’s foreign exchange earnings. The vast majority of Tanzanians living below the poverty line live in rural areas, and the incidence of poverty in rural areas may be increasing. Agricultural development is crucial to both national economic development and poverty reduction. I.2. The Agricultural Sector Development Programme (ASDP) provides the government with a sector–wide framework for overseeing the institutional, expenditure and investment development of the agricultural sector. At the heart of ASDP is changing the function of central government from an executive role to a normative one, empowering local government and communities to control their planning processes, and establishing an enabling environment which encourages private sector investment in all aspects of agriculture. ASDP does not replace existing national and local planning and implementation mechanisms. Rather it facilitates the process, highlights priorities and tracks overall progress. The ASDP is a long–term process, and the outcome of recent initiatives to re– orientate and re–invigorate the national economy. It is the implementation framework for the Agricultural Sector Development Strategy (ASDS). I.3. The ASDS was published by the government in August 2001. It originated from the Agricultural and Livestock Policy and the Cooperatives Development Policy, both of 1997. It is guided by the principles of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), the Rural Development Strategy (RDS) and Tanzania Development Vision 2025 (TDV). The ASDS identified five strategic issues for agricultural development: (i) strengthening the institutional framework, (ii) creating a favourable environment for commercial activities, (iii) clarifying public and private roles in improving supporting services, (iv) strengthening marketing efficiency for inputs and outputs, and (v) mainstreaming planning for agricultural development in other sectors. It is within this strategic framework that a proposed programme for increasing private sector investment in crop and livestock production is proposed. I.4. The importance of the private sector is recognised in the ASDP which states that: “Agriculture primarily takes place in the private sector, which the ASDP is essentially designed to strengthen and support. Both the ASDS and the Rural Development Strategy recognise that weak public administrative institutions are a major reason why private sector response has been slow to follow reforms aimed at boosting agriculture. It is clear that public sector performance impacts on private sector productivity. However, the private sector, both small and large–scale operators need to be more effective in communicating its concerns to the government.” I.5. The investment programme for the Agricultural Sector Lead Ministries (ASLM1) includes operations specifically aimed at facilitating private sector oriented investments (see Table 1 of the National Medium–Term Investment Programme, NMTIP). For this to be effective — and to establish the basis for attracting commercial, private sector investment — a great deal more needs to be done to identify and establish

Eric Reynolds FINNISH INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Bujumbura, January 1992 The conclusions and recommendations given in this and other reports in the Research for the Management of the Fisheries on Lake Tanganyika Project series are those considered appropriate at the time of preparation. They may be modified in the light of further knowledge gained at subsequent stages of the Project. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of FAO or FINNIDA concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or concerning the determination of its frontiers or boundaries. PREFACE The Research for the Management of the Fisheries on Lake Tanganyika project (Tanganyika Research) became fully operational in January 1992. It is executed by the Food and Agriculture organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Finnish International Development Agency (FINNIDA). This project aims at the determination of the biological basis for fish production on Lake Tanganyika, in order to permit the formulation of a coherent lake-wide fisheries management policy for the four riparian States (Burundi, Tanzania, Zaïre and Zambia). Particular attention will be also given to the reinforcement of the skills and physical facilities of the fisheries research units in all four beneficiary countries as well as to the buildup of effective coordination mechanisms to ensure full collaboration between the Governments concerned.

  • The Ends of the Indian Ocean: Tracing Coastlines in the Tanzanian "Hinterland"
    The Ends of the Indian Ocean: Tracing Coastlines in the Tanzanian "Hinterland" Julia Verne History in Africa, Volume 46, 2019, pp. 359-383 (Article) Published by Cambridge University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/727065 [ Access provided at 26 Sep 2021 12:35 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Bridging Histories of East and Central Africa The Ends of the Indian Ocean: Tracing Coastlines in the Tanzanian “Hinterland” Julia Verne Abstract: In recent years, several attempts to revitalize Area Studies have concen- trated on oceans as the unifying force to create regions. In this respect, the Indian Ocean has become a prime example to show how economic as well as cultural flows across the sea have contributed to close connections between its shores. However, by doing so, they not only seem to create a certain, rather homogeneous, Indian Ocean space, they often also lead to a conceptual separation between “coast” and “hinterland,” similar to earlier distinctions between “African/Arab” or “East/Central Africa.” In this contribution, so-called “Arab” traders who settled along trade routes connecting the East African coast to its hinterland will serve as an empirical ground to explore and challenge these boundaries. Tracing maritime imaginaries and related materialities in the Tanzanian interior, it will reflect on the ends of the Indian Ocean and the nature of such maritime conceptualizations of space more generally. By taking the relational thinking that lies at the ground of maritimity inland, it wishes to encourage a re-conceptualization of areas that not only replaces a terrestrial spatial entity with a maritime one, but that genuinely breaks with such “container-thinking” and, instead, foregrounds the meandering, fluid character of regions and their complex and highly dynamic entanglements.

A series of sandy ridges, palaeolacustrine terraces and palaeounderwater delta fans are related to an Early Holocene high lake level and subsequent progressive lowering. The maximum lake level was controlled by the altitude of the watershed between the Rukwa and Tanganyika hydrological systems. Taking as reference the present elevation of the palaeolacustrine terraces around Lake Rukwa, two orders of vertical tectonic movement are evidenced: i) a general uplift centred on the Rungwe Volcanic Province between the Rukwa and Malawi Rift Basins; and ii) a tectonic northeastward tilting of the entire Rukwa Rift Basin, including the depression and rift shoulders. This is supported by the observed hydromorphological evolution. Local uplift is also induced by the development of an active fault zone in the central part of the depression, in a prolongation of the Mbeya Range-Galula Fault system.

  • Agricultural Growth and Poverty Reduction in Tanzania 2000- 2010: Where Has Agriculture Worked for the Poor and What Can We Learn from This?
    Working Paper June 2011 No. 208 Agricultural growth and poverty reduction in Tanzania 2000- 2010: where has agriculture worked for the poor and what can we learn from this? Oswald Mashindano Kim Kayunze Lucia da Corta What is Chronic Poverty? Festo Maro The distinguishing feature of chronic poverty is extended duration in absolute poverty. Therefore, chronically poor people always, or usually, live below a poverty line, which is normally defined in terms of a money indicator (e.g. consumption, income, etc.), but could also be defined in terms of wider or subjective aspects of deprivation. This is different from the transitorily poor, who move in and out of poverty, or only occasionally fall below the poverty line. Chronic Poverty Research Centre www.chronicpoverty.org ISBN: 978-1-908536-05-1 Agricultural growth and poverty reduction in Tanzania 2000-2010: where has agriculture worked for the poor and what can we learn from this? Abstract Agriculture is an economic activity important to achieving the poverty reduction strategy goals of Tanzania. Growth in agriculture has made contributions to GDP, foreign exchange earnings, and income poverty reduction. However, despite high growth, the growth pattern in agriculture (which employed about 70 percent of the population between 1998 and 2009) is not reflected in poverty reduction, particularly in rural areas. Using quantitative and qualitative data collected from rural farmers in Mwanza, Newala and Rukwa regions, this paper unpacks growth and poverty transmission routes, identifies growth barriers for agricultural incomes, and analyses where agricultural growth has occurred and if that growth has been transmitted into poverty reduction.

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.

  • Tanzania 2012 Human Rights Report
    TANZANIA 2012 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The United Republic of Tanzania is a multiparty republic consisting of the mainland and the semiautonomous Zanzibar archipelago, whose main islands are Unguja and Pemba. The union is headed by a president, who is also the head of government. Its unicameral legislative body is the National Assembly (parliament). Zanzibar, although part of the union, has its own government with a president, court system, and legislature, and exercises considerable autonomy. Tanzania held its fourth multiparty general elections in 2010 in which voters on mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar elected a union president (Jakaya Kikwete) and their respective representatives in the union legislature. The Zanzibari electorate chose Ali Mohamed Shein as president of Zanzibar. The union and Zanzibari elections were judged to be largely free and fair. Union security forces reported to civilian authorities, but there were instances in which elements of the security forces acted independently of civilian control. The three most widespread and systemic human rights problems in the country were excessive use of force by security forces resulting in deaths and injuries, restrictions on political expression, and lack of access to justice as well as a related continuation of mob violence. Other human rights problems included harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; lengthy pretrial detention; some restrictions on religious freedom; restrictions on the movement of refugees; official corruption; societal violence against women and persons with albinism; child abuse, including female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C); and discrimination based on sexual orientation. Trafficking in persons, both internal and international, as well as child labor were also problems.

  • Livelihood Zones Analysis Tanzania
    Improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers LIVELIHOOD ZONES ANALYSIS A tool for planning agricultural water management investments Tanzania Prepared by Joseph Perfect (MSc) & A.E. Majule, (Ph.D.), Institute of Resource Assessment (IRA), University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in consultation with FAO, 2010 About this report The AgWater Solutions Project aimed at designing agricultural water management (AWM) strategies for smallholder farmers in sub Saharan Africa and in India. The project was managed by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and operated jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI) and International Development Enterprise (IDE). It was implemented in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia and in the States of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal in India. Several studies have highlighted the potential of AWM for poverty alleviation. In practice, however, adoption rates of AWM solutions remain low, and where adoption has taken place locally, programmes aimed at disseminating these solutions often remain a challenge. The overall goal of the project was to stimulate and support successful pro-poor, gender-equitable AWM investments, policies and implementation strategies through concrete, evidence-based knowledge and decision-making tools. The project has examined AWM interventions at the farm, community, watershed, and national levels. It has analyzed opportunities and constraints of a number of small-scale AWM interventions in several pilot research sites across the different project countries, and assessed their potential in different agro-climatic, socio-economic and political contexts. This report was prepared as part of the efforts to assess the potential for AWM solutions at national level.
