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.
