UNICEF has commissioned an evaluation of the Bringing Nutrition to Scale in Iringa, Mbeya and Njombe Regions (BNTS) project, covering the period from its launch in 2013 to the time of the evaluation mission in November 2017. The project is funded by Irish Aid (IA). The BNTS project has, for operational purposes, been merged with the Accelerated Stunting Reduction Project (ASRP), funded by the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID) through the Addressing Stunting in Tanzania Early (ASTUTE) project. 2. This exercise has served as a mid-term evaluation of the ASRP, which recently completed its second year of operations. Following approval of a matrix of 16 evaluation questions submitted in an inception report, it has reviewed progress across all four Regions in which ASRP is being implemented: Mbeya, Iringa, Njombe and Songwe (MINS). In answering the 16 questions, the evaluation is intended to be formative, with a view to generating evidence and lessons to strengthen programme design and accelerate the achievement of results. It reports on the ASRP as a whole, with specific reference to the BNTS where appropriate. It is based on detailed assessment of available documentation and a two-week evaluation mission in November 2017, which included visits to communities and Local Government Authorities (LGAs). 3. The ASRP has a broad scope of ambition ranging from national policy and systems to support at household level. It has made equally broad contributions, which are mainstreamed in overall national efforts to combat stunting – and has the potential, subject to available resources, for further creative support across the spectrum of those national efforts. The evaluation therefore offers equally broad observations on the progress that those national efforts are making, although its focus is on the performance of the ASRP, and its recommendations specifically concern the project itself. 4. Levels of malnutrition have declined significantly in Tanzania since the 1960s, but not far enough. In MINS, some child nutrition indicators remain poor, despite the progress in commercial agriculture that is being achieved in some areas. Stunting is a particular concern, with MINS among the Regions that are furthest above the national average. Tanzania’s National Multisectoral Nutrition Action Plan (NMNAP) has continued the emphasis of the Government of Tanzania (GOT) on

    United Republic of Tanzania The United Republic of Tanzania Jointly prepared by Ministry of Finance and Planning, National Bureau of Statistics and Njombe Regional Secretariat Njombe Region National Bureau of Statistics Njombe Dodoma November, 2020 Njombe Region Socio-Economic Profile, 2018 Foreword The goals of Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025 are in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are pursued through the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) or MKUKUTA II. The major goals are to achieve a high-quality livelihood for the people, attain good governance through the rule of law and develop a strong and competitive economy. To monitor the progress in achieving these goals, there is need for timely, accurate data and information at all levels. Problems especially in rural areas are many and demanding. Social and economic services require sustainable improvement. The high primary school enrolment rates recently attained have to be maintained and so is the policy of making sure that all pupils who passed Primary School Leaving Examination must join form one. The Nutrition situation is still precarious; infant and maternal mortality rates continue to be high and unemployment triggers mass migration of youths from rural areas to the already overcrowded urban centres. Added to the above problems, is the menace posed by HIV/AIDS, the prevalence of which hinders efforts to advance into the 21st century of science and technology. The pandemic has been quite severe among the economically active population leaving in its wake an increasing number of orphans, broken families and much suffering. AIDS together with environmental deterioration are problems which cannot be ignored.

  • 1.0. Introduction
    FERTILITY LEVELS AND PATTERNS AMONG HIV-INFECTED AND UN-INFECTED WOMEN IN KYELA DISTRICT A CASE STUDY FROM TANZANIA. 1.0. Introduction The fertility transition, seen in many parts of the world, has been slow to start in Sub-Saharan Africa, although recent evidence suggests a moderate of fertility in few countries (UNAIDS, 2003). It is not clear how the HIV epidemic will alter future levels of fertility and what impact it will have on the nature of fertility transition. The contribution of HIV/AIDS to the fertility transition is not currently evident due to the fact that. For four reasons. First, isolating the factor of HIV/AIDS from other factors of fertility is a complex process because it is not a proximate variable, but one of the contributors to several proximate determinants of fertility. Secondly, for the impact of the epidemic to be felt, the prevalence has to be high in the region of 20 percent and be sustainable for a long time, about a decade or longer. Thirdly, behavior factors may reduce fertility of women with symptoms of AIDS, but not those asymptomatic. Fourthly, as infant mortality increases, the need to replace dead children and produce more to ensure survival of some will challenge implementation of family planning programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa and perhaps increase fertility. Also, increasing HIV prevalence in the region will mean that HIV/AIDS programmes will compete for resources with family planning progrmmes, which would weaken the latter (UNAIDS, 2003). Recent studies in Sub Saharan Africa have shown that fertility is reduced among HIV infected women compare with uninfected women.
