Tanzania in Figures 2018 booklet presents the data series for the period from 2013 to 2018. This booklet provides aggregated data and contains information from various official statistical publications compiled by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), sector ministries, Government Departments and Agencies. The indicators presented are useful for policy makers for planning, monitoring and evaluation of various development programs at all levels. The booklet, therefore serves as a brief and comprehensive reference for such crucial statistical information. The National Bureau of Statistics, as a coordinator and producer of official statistics in the Country, appreciates the contributions made by various stakeholders in statistics for supplying inputs used in the compilation of this booklet. In order to effectively participate in strengthening the National Statistical System (NSS), we urge further co- operation in updating and compilation of the forthcoming editions of similar booklet and other statistical publications. iii The latest figures (2018) presented in this booklet for some indicators are provisional and may be revised according to the NBS revision policies. Also, information in some tables is sourced from ad hoc and periodic surveys and therefore such information is not available for some years. The data gaps attributed to the surveys shall be filled immediately upon availability of the respective survey reports. Comments and suggestions that may help to enrich the next edition of Tanzania in Figures are welcome from all stakeholders. The soft copy is also available in the NBS website; www.nbs.go.tz. For more detailed information on the published statistics, please visit the NBS library. iv WHAT IS NEW The Tanzania HIV Impact Survey 2016 - 2017 (THIS) The Tanzania HIV Impact Survey 2016 - 2017 (THIS) is the fourth in a series of household-based human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) surveys and it is the first national HIV survey that covered populations of all ages and other indicators (HIV incidence, viral load (VL) suppression (VLS) etc), in the country. A nationally representative survey of 36,087 adults aged 15 years and older and 10,452 children aged 0 - 14 years (7,477 children aged 0 - 9 years and 2,975 early adolescents aged 10 - 14 years) were eligible to participate in the survey. HIV Incidence Annual incidence of HIV infection among adults aged 15 years and older is 0.24% overall (0.16% among males and 0.32% among females). This corresponds to approximately 72,000 new infections per year (about 24,000 among males and 48,000 among females). v Annual HIV Incidence using Lag/VL/ARV testing algorithm, THIS 2016 - 2017 LAG/VL/ARV: Limiting antigen/Viral load/Antiretrovirals HIV Prevalence Prevalence of HIV infection among adults aged 15 years and older in Tanzania was 4.9% (6.3% among females, and 3.4% among males). This corresponds to approximately 1.4 million PLHIV aged 15 years and older in the country. vi Prevalence of HIV Among Persons Aged 15+ years, by Sex and Selected Demographic Characteristics, Tanzania, THIS 2016 - 2017 Males Females Total Characteristic % HIV % HIV % HIV Number Number Number positive positive positive Age 15-19 0.4 2,533 1.0 2,999 0.7 5,532 20-24 0.9 1,987 3.4 2,845 2.2 4,832 25-29 2.3 1,670 5.6 2,521 4.0 4,191 30-34 3.9 1,453 8.6 2,062 6.4 3,515 35-39 5.6 1,307 11.6 1,749 8.6 3,056 40-44 8.4 1,144 11.0 1,405 9.7 2,549 45-49 6.8 877 12 1,048 9.4 1,925 50-54 7.4 728 9.4 872 8.4 1,600 55-59 8.0 572 9.7 580 8.9 1,152 60-64 3.6 459 6.5 558 5.2 1,017 65-69 2.3 344 3.0 395 2.7 739 70-74 1.7 254 4.4 322 3.3 576 75-79 2.0 193 0.2 221 1.0 414 ≥80 0.3 229 1.2 252 0.8 481 Total 15+ 3.4 13,750 6.3 17,829 4.9 31,579 Residence Urban 3.4 4,106 8.3 6,034 6 10,140 Rural 3.4 9,644 5 11,795 4.2 21,439 Tanzania Mainland/Zanzibar Mainland 3.5 13,079 6.4 16,848 5.0 29,927 Urban 3.5 3,902 8.5 5,772 6.2 9,674 Rural 3.4 9,177 5.1 11,076 4.3 20,253 Zanzibar 0.0 671 0.8 981 0.4 1,652 Unguja 0.0 488 1.0 693 0.5 1,181 Pemba 0.0 183 0.3 288 0.2 471 Marital status Never married 0.9 4,384 3.1 3,587 1.8 7,971 Married or living together 4.4 8,287 5.2 10,572 4.8 18,859 Divorced or separated 7.3 820 12.8 1,980 11.0 2,800 Widowed 10.7 232 13.4 1,660 13.0 1,892 Education No education 5.0 1,697 6.7 4,001 6.1 5,698 Primary 3.7 8,540 7.2 10,106 5.5 18,646 Secondary (O-Level) 2.0 2,508 3.6 2,874 2.7 5,382 Secondary (A-Level) 0.3 116 1.9 68 0.8 184 University 1.5 190 0.3 110 1.1 300 Source: National Bureau of Statistics; Tanzania HIV Impact Survey (A Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment) THIS 2016-2017 vii HIV Prevalence Among Adults Aged 15 Years and Older, by Region, THIS 2016 - 2017 viii Hepatitis B Virus Hepatitis B is one of the blood borne diseases routinely screened among individuals donating blood at the blood bank in Tanzania.

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.

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.

  • Tanzania 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
    TANZANIA 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitutions of the union government and of the semiautonomous government in Zanzibar both prohibit religious discrimination and provide for freedom of religious choice. Since independence, the country has been governed by alternating Christian and Muslim presidents. Sixty-one members of Uamsho, an Islamist group advocating for Zanzibar’s full autonomy, remained in custody without a trial since their arrest in 2013 under terrorism charges. In May the Office of the Registrar of Societies, an entity within the Ministry of Home Affairs charged with overseeing religious organizations, released a letter ordering the leadership of the Catholic and Lutheran Churches to retract statements that condemned the government for increasing restrictions on freedoms of speech and assembly, and alleged human rights abuses. After a public outcry, the minister of home affairs denounced the letter and suspended the registrar. The Zanzibar Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources destroyed a church being built on property owned by the Pentecostal Assemblies of God after the High Court of Zanzibar ruled the church was built on government property. This followed a protracted court battle in which Zanzibar courts ruled the church was allowed on the property. Vigilante killings of persons accused of practicing witchcraft continued to occur. As of July, the government reported 117 witchcraft-related incidents. There were some attacks on churches and mosques throughout the country, especially in rural regions. Civil society groups continued to promote peaceful interactions and religious tolerance. The embassy launched a three-month public diplomacy campaign in support of interfaith dialogue and sponsored the visit of an imam from the United States to discuss interfaith and religious freedom topics with government officials and civil society.

  • CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: United Republic of TANZANIA 7 April 2008
    WO RLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION Global Task Force on Cholera Control CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: United Republic of TANZANIA 7 April 2008 General Country Information: The United Republic of Tanzania is located in East Africa and borders Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique. It has a long east coast along the Indian Ocean. Tanzania is divided into 26 regions (21 on the mainland and five in Zanzibar). Dodoma is the capital (only since 1996) but Dar es Salaam is the largest city and a very important economic centre for the region. In 1880, Tanzania became a German colony (it was then named Tanganyika). After the end of World War I, in1919, it became a British Mandate which was to last until independence in 1961. Tanganyika and neighboring Zanzibar, which had become independent in 1963 merged to form the nation of Tanzania on 26 April 1964. The economy of Tanzania is highly dependant on agriculture, however only 4% of land area is used for cultivated crops due to climatic and topography conditions. It also has vast amounts of natural resources such as gold. Tanzania's Human Development Index is 159 over 177. HIV prevalence has decreased from 9.6% in 2002 to 5.9% in 2005. Cholera Background History: The first 10 cholera cases were reported in 1974 and since 1977, cases were reported each year with a case fatality rate (CFR) averaging 10.5% (between 1977 and 1992). The first major outbreak occurred in 1992 when 18'526 United Republic of Tanzania cases including 2'173 deaths were recorded.

Through education and demonstration, the Institute has taught improved farming practices to approximately 5,000 smallholder farmers in 60 villages in the Iringa Region of Tanzania as part of the Institute’s Companion Village Pro- ject (CVP). Access to credit through an accompanying Mi- crofinance Institute allowed the small farmers to take ad- vantage of the good farming practices. Yields of crops were increased, and the smallholder farmer’s vision of what was possible has been expanded. Based on the observations of government and religious leaders who travel the region, the quality of life in these remote villages has improved.
