    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.

The case of Rufiji, Kilombero and Ulanga districts Josephine Shabani ,∗ Iddagiovana Kinyonge, Hadija Kweka, Selemani Mbuyita, Ahmed Makemba, Godfrey Mbaruku Ifakara Health Institute, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Received: January 13, 2015 Accepted: April 3, 2015 Online Published: April 28, 2015 DOI: 10.5430/jha.v4n4p1 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/jha.v4n4p1 ABSTRACT Background: Attention to the sustainability of health intervention programs is increasing not only in developing countries but also in developed countries together with international development agencies. However, consensus on operational definitions of sustainability and determinants of sustainability is still at an early stage. While much progress has been made in the development of successful interventions to promote health, too few interventions achieve long term sustainability. Implementation of EMPOWER project in collaboration with World Lung Foundation (WLF) have increased accessibility of comprehensive emergency obstetric care (CEmOC) by upgrading health centers which were formerly not providing CEmOC services in the three rural districts in Tanzania. Although the WHO standards of CEmOC coverage in the project districts was above the requirement, but accessing these health facilities which provides CEmOC was so difficult due to various factors like geographical (mountains, rivers, seasonal roads), locations of these health facilities (like in one district the it was located at a corner of the district), unreliable referral system and poor functionality of these health facilities especially in terms of emergency preparedness etc.

  • Kilombero Plantations Limited
    KILOMBERO PLANTATIONS LIMITED MNGETA FARM SQUATTER SURVEY REPORT Claude G. Mung’ong’o, PhD and Juma Kayonko, MSc Natural Resource Management Consultants P.O. Box 35097, Dar es Salaam FEBRUARY 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Background Located in Mngeta Division, Kilombero District, Mngeta Farm (5,818 ha) is owned by Kilombero Plantations Ltd (KPL), a public-private partnership between the Rufiji Basin Development Authority (RUBADA) and InfEnergy Tanzania Ltd. In 1986, the Government of Tanzania granted the farm area to the Korea Tanzania Agricultural Company (KOTACO), a Korea – Tanzania government partnership. KOTACO surveyed the farm, cleared the entire 5818 ha, and built 185 km of roads and approximately 290 km of drainage ditches. KOTACO farmed rice on approximately 2500 ha until 1993 when the Koreans left the project and handed over the farm equipment and infrastructure to RUBADA. From 1994 to 1999 the farm remained idle. Later in 1999 RUBADA contracted the farm to Kilombero Holding Company (KIHOCO) which never farmed more than 400 ha. KIHOCO fell 5 years behind in rent payments and was finally forced off the farm in August 2007. During the period of the farm’s idleness it attracted a gradual influx of subsistence squatters from different parts of Tanzania. It also attracted a high influx of livestock, especially from 2005 onwards. In December 2007, KPL began operations, re-clearing land and planting 641 ha of rice in early 2008. In September 2008 KPL completed the title transfer of Mngeta Farm. KPL is planting 3000 ha of rice in early 2009 and has targeted 5800 ha of rice in 2010.

  • Policies and Legal Frameworks for Marine Protected Areas
    Policies and legal frameworks for Marine Protected Areas governance in Tanzania mainland: their potential and limitations for achieving conservation and livelihood goals. Bigeyo Neke Kuboja United Nations-Nippon Foundation of Japan Fellowship Programme December 2013 Abstract The focus of this study is territorial sea marine protected areas governance in Tanzania mainland. The study describes and analyses the limitations and potential for existing policies and legal framework for managing these systems to better integrate conservation and livelihood goals; by using Mafia Island Marine Park (MIMP), which is a marine protected area (MPA), located on Mafia Island as a case study. The study examines Tanzanian legislations and international instruments that are relevant for MPA governance and their applicability in MIMP. There are about 33 marine protected areas along the Tanzanian coastline. The coastline is endowed by numerous small near shore islands and islets as well as several large islands, coral reefs, mangrove forests, sea grass beds and sandy beaches which support plentiful marine organisms as spawning, breeding, feeding, and growth habitats that are worth to be managed and used sustainably. The coastline extends approximately 1400km in north-south direction from the Tanzania-Kenya border in the north to the Tanzania-Mozambique border in the south. Several previous reports have identified most of the governance challenges facing coastal and marine resources including MPAs in Tanzania. Therefore, through utilization of secondary data, understandings into the MPA management/governance and by applying lessons from other developing nations coastal settings this study highlighted some mechanism on how the existing policies and legal frameworks can be used to improve the situation on the ground for sustainably exploiting and managing coastal and marine resources of Tanzania.
