The reforms have attracted cooperation between the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania, Development Partners and many other stakeholders. Through this cooperation, the Local Government Reforms in Tanzania have successfully generated democratic Local Governments, rationalized local human resourcing, increased fiscal disbursements, improved local governance, increased local participation and increased local government autonomy in Service Delivery. The Local Government Reforms in Tanzania have been implemented in a comprehensive approach that has involved learning Local Government Reform initiatives and implementation in other countries which led to designing an appropriate implementation modality for Tanzania. Since 2002 the Government of Tanzania through the President’s Office – Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG) and the Government of Japan through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) have jointly conducted training on Decentralization reforms in Japan namely “Osaka Training”. This training has been attended by selected PO-RALG Directors/staff, Regional Administrative Secretaries, Council Directors and other Local Government Reform stakeholders. Following Osaka Training, Regional Post Osaka Trainings (POT) have been conducted to Assistant Administrative Secretaries (AASs) and Heads of Departments (HODs) from Local Government Authorities (LGAs) to share lessons learned in Osaka Training in Japan. Both Osaka Trainings and Regional POTs have provided opportunity for Tanzanian Central and Local Government Staff to learn the Japanese Decentralization Reforms Experiences, select the best Japanese decentralization lessons and implement the lessons learnt within the Tanzanian context. The implementation of the lessons learnt from Japan has resulted into identifiable “Best Practices” by specific Regional Secretariats (RSs) and LGAs. This has created urgency for reporting the best practices in the form of a handbook to make other RSs and LGAs appreciate and learn from the local successful implementation and the secrets for success. This Fifth Best Practices Handbook is a continuation of the joint efforts of PO-RALG and JICA to strengthen Decentralization by Devolution (D by D) in Tanzania. The handbook provides the History of Osaka Training and the Best Practices in the following order; Chapter One summarizes the lessons learnt from Japan; Chapter Two focuses on Self Help Efforts for Improved Services and has Cases from Mwanza CC, Geita and Chato DCs. Chapter Three is on Fiscal Decentralization and Revenue Enhancement and has a Case from Bariadi DC. Chapter Four presents Participatory Service Delivery Cases from Itilima, Misungwi, Musoma, Bukombe, Ngara and Ukerewe DCs. Chapter Five focuses on Local Economic Development with Cases from Misenyi, Ukerewe, Itilima, Tarime, Rorya, and Bunda DCs. PO-RALG recommends the RSs staff, LGAs staff and all stakeholders in the Local Government Reforms in Tanzania to read the handbook, appreciate the specific local initiatives, learn the secrets of success and use the available local opportunities to perform better in the D by D context. ------------------------------------------------------ ENG. MUSSA I. IYOMBE PERMANENT SECRETARY - PO-RALG iii TOA Best Practices Handbook 5 Preface (TOA) Cooperation between the two Governments (Tanzania and Japan) through Osaka Training resulted into establishment of Tanzania Osaka Local Government Reform Alumni (TOA) in 2002. This Alumni is formed by all Regional Administrative Secretaries (RASs), Council Directors and all ex-participants of Osaka Training and POT. TOA endeavors to build capacity to her members in order to become champions of Local Government Reforms. Implementation of lessons learnt in Osaka Training has resulted into improved service delivery to the communities within the Framework of “D by D”. For the purpose of enhancing horizontal learning amongst stakeholders, TOA decided to publish a series of best practices reported by members in

    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.”.

Community-wide action to Cassava brown streak virus manage them has not been attempted since a successful cassava mosaic disease control programme in the 1930s/ Collective action 40 s in Uganda. A pilot initiative to investigate the effectiveness of community phytosanitation for managing Epidemiology cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) was implemented from 2013 to 2016 in two communities in coastal GIS (Mkuranga) and north-western (Chato) Tanzania. CBSD incidence in local varieties at the outset was > 90%, Tanzania which was typical of severely affected regions of Tanzania. Following sensitization and monitoring by locally- Whitefly recruited taskforces, there was effective community-wide compliance with the initial requirement to replace local CBSD-infected material with newly-introduced disease-free planting material of improved varieties. The transition was also supported by the free provision of additional seed sources, including maize, sweet potato, beans and cowpeas. Progress of the initiative was followed in randomly-selected monitoring fields in each of the two locations. Community phytosanitation in both target areas produced an area-wide reduction in CBSD incidence, which was sustained over the duration of the programme.

Box 2100 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland Tel: 41 22 791 6033 Fax: 41 22 791 6506 Appeal e-mail: [email protected] Coordinating Office Tanzania Food Relief Assistance – AFTZ61 Appeal Target: US$ 741,141 Geneva, 21 March 2006 Dear Colleagues, The latest Tanzanian government report on the food situation shows that from February to April, 3.76 million people - more than 10 percent of the country's population- will need 99,676 tonnes of maize food aid. According to the country's Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security the food deficit in Tanzania is linked to the failure of short rains between August and November 2005 which account for 30% of annual harvests in the country. A Rapid Vulnerability Assessment carried out by the government, WFP, and NGOs in early February identified 564,000 of the total impacted population as being destitute and in need of free food distribution. To date, the government of Tanzania has not declared a national emergency but WFP and NGOs are concerned that government resources are insufficient to meet the urgent needs of this vulnerable population. The long rainy season is now expected between March and May, but if it fails or comes too late, the number of people needing food relief could go up. ACT member the Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) is appealing for assistance to provide food relief to approximately 80,500 of the most destitute people in seven regions in rural Tanzania, to be distributed through its member churches the Anglican Church of Tanzania (ACT), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT), the African Inland Church of Tanzania (AIC) and the Mennonite Church of Tanzania (MEN) stationed across the country.

  • Impact of Policy and Legal Reforms on a Pastoral System in Lower Kagera Sub-Basin, North Western Tanzania
    Impact of Policy and Legal Reforms on a Pastoral System in Lower Kagera Sub-Basin, North Western Tanzania Lwekaza J. A. Kisoza The Open University of Tanzania Institute of Continuing Education Email: [email protected] Abstract: A socio-economic study was conducted in the lower Kagera sub-basin in North Western Tanzania to assess the impact of land-use policies and legal reformson pastoral system. Questionnaire surveys and PRA approaches were employed to collect data in four districts: Muleba, Missenyi, Karagwe and Ngara in Kagera region. The main economic activities in the study area were small hold farming (74%), agro-pastoralism (48%) and pastoralism (4%). The majority own between 1 and 2 acres of land, held under customary regimes (60.3. There were experienced increasing land shortages (69.2%) mainly attributed to unfavourable legal and policy framework (96.4%). The main constraint faced by pastoralists was shortage of grazing land (52.9%). The structures established to administer land resources and resolve land-use conflicts were reported to be ineffectual. The area is facing increasing land-use conflicts that involve farmers against pastoralists, farmers against farmers, farmers against investors, and farmer against government agencies. A number of newly introduced policies and laws aiming at commercialization of pastoral system had led to expropriation of customary lands to new investors. The pastoral systems are now on transition, and increasingly becoming sedentarized. There are emerging commercial investors who were partitioning communal grazing lands and converting them into commercial ranches. In order to cope with changes it is recommended the interventions that will intensify the pastoral system by increasing both rangeland and livestock productivity and ensure sustainable rangeland health in Kagera sub- basin.

Key climate elements like temperature, rainfall and wind speed have been shifting their historical trends and magnitudes over time. As a result, extreme climate and weather driven events such as droughts, prolonged dry periods, erratic rainfall and strong winds are more common across the district nowadays2. The observed climate vagaries coupled with high poverty level have already caused their toll to people, their socio-economic, livelihood and environmental systems. Crop failures, water scarcity and livestock deaths due to drought are already common events in the area. Rainfall seasons and number of rainy days has greatly changed and declined, affecting economic, social, environment and peoples’ livelihoods. Communities are experiencing failures of their traditional livelihood systems with no replacement or alternatives3. Dependence on fishing is also under threat due to catch decrease. As a result, the Poverty and Human Development Report released in 2005 by the United Republic of Tanzania ranked the district as the poorest with the highest rates of income poverty.
