  • 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.

  • Tanzania MFR Summary Report
    TANZANIA August 20, 2018 Market Fundamentals Summary KEY MESSAGES The objective of this report is to document the basic market context Figure 1. Map of Tanzania for staple food and livestock production and marketing in Tanzania. The information presented is based on desk research, a field assessment using rapid rural appraisal techniques, and a consultation workshop with stakehoders in Tanzania. Findings from this report will inform regular market monitoring and analysis in Tanzania. Maize, rice, sorghum, millet, pulses (beans and peas), cassava and bananas (plantains) are the main staple foods in Tanzania. Maize is the most widely consumed staple in Tanzania and the country imports significant quantities of wheat to meet local demand for wheat flour. Consumption of other staples varies across the country based on local supply and demand dynamics. Cattle, goat and sheep are the major sources of red meat consumed in Tanzania. Tanzania’s cropping calendar follows two distinct seasonal patterns. The Msimu season covers unimodal rainfall areas in the south, west and central parts of the country while the Masika and Vuli seasons Source: FEWS NET (2018). cover bi-modal rainfall areas in the north and eastern parts of the country (Figure 5). Figure 2. Tanzania’s average self sufficiency status for key staple foods (2014/15 – 2017/18) As a member of the East Africa Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Tanzania plays an important role in regional staple food trade across East and Southern Africa (Annex III). The country is generally a surplus producer of staple cereals and pulses, and exports significant quantities of these commodities to neighboring countries in East and Southern Africa inlcuding Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratice Republic of Congo (Figure 2).

  • Transport Sector
    TRANSPORT SECTOR Overview on the Institutional, Legal and Regulatory Framework in the Transport Sector in Tanzania In order to enhance efficiency in the transportation sector, the central government has decentralized its roles in road construction and maintenance of transport infrastructure. It has put in place institutional, legal and regulatory framework for and efficient, effective sustainable transport operations in the country. Rural roads construction and maintenance are implemented by the Local Government Authorities, whereas supervision on the construction and maintenance of major roads is the responsibility given to the Tanzania Roads Agency (TANROADS), which is a semi autonomous body. Realizing the need for establishment of a regulatory body to oversee the economics and safety aspects regarding the surface and marine transport systems the government passed the Surface and Maritime Transport Regulatory Authority (SUMATRA) Act (2001). In recent years there has been a fast increase of vehicles in the country. This has led into serious traffic congestions particularly in big cities such as Dar es Salaam, Mwanza and Arusha. Therefore, in order to mitigate the traffic congestion in Dar es Salaam the government has established an authority (Dar es Salaam Rapid Transport Agency) responsible in designing and operationalise rapid transport network for the city. The government is also encouraging private operators to create medium-size commercial fleet operations; establishment of the commuter city bus transport companies; and provision of infrastructure facilities for Dar es Salaam City (Parking, Bus Bays and shelters). Construction of fly-over roads is also considered as another means to mitigate traffic congestion in large cities in Tanzania. In the railway transport system, the Railway Act (2002) was enacted as a process of restructuring the Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC).

  • Planning Ahead for Better Neighborhoods: Long Run
    Planning Ahead for Better Neighborhoods: Long Run Evidence from Tanzania Guy Michaels (LSE) Dzhamilya Nigmatulina (LSE) Ferdinand Rauch (Oxford) Tanner Regan (LSE) Neeraj Baruah (LSE) Amanda Dahlstrand-Rudin (LSE) February 16, 2018 Abstract Africa’s demand for urban housing is soaring, even as it faces a proliferation of slums. In this setting, can modest infrastructure investments in greenfield areas where people subsequently build their own homes lead to better quality neighborhoods in the long run? We study "Sites and Services" projects implemented in seven Tanzanian cities during the 1970s and 1980s, and we com- pare greenfield areas that received basic infrastructure investment (de novo areas) to geographi- cally proximate greenfield areas that did not (control areas). Using satellite images, surveys, and census data from the 2010s, we find that de novo areas developed into neighborhoods with much better housing quality. Specifically, de novo neighborhoods are more orderly and their buildings have larger footprint areas and are more likely to have multiple stories and better amenities, due not only to the persistence of initial investments but also to private complementary investments. We also document the role of sorting of owners and residents, which only partly accounts for the differences in housing quality across neighborhoods. Finally, we study initially squatted areas that were also upgraded as part of “Sites and Services”, and our descriptive evidence suggests that they are now if anything worse than the control areas. We conclude that preemptive infrastructure investments can lead to neighborhoods with significantly better housing in the long run. KEYWORDS: Urban Economics, Economic Development, Slums, Africa.
