    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.”. What is the importance of statistics in your daily life? “Statistical Data is useful for development at family as well as national level because without statistics one cannot plan and implement development plans properly.

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.

  • ABSTRACT Colonialism and the Development of the Tanzanian
    ABSTRACT Colonialism and the Development of the Tanzanian Health System Harrison Chase Gottlich Director: Dr. Sara Alexander This thesis examines Colonialism’s lasting effects on the formation of the Tanzanian Healthcare system. Identified key characteristics of the Colonial Health Model include regional specialization, direct taxation, hospital-based care, and physician leadership. The effects of these characteristics are evaluated considering post-independence domestic policies and international health movements, including the 1978 Alma Ata Declaration and the 1993 World Bank Report. A finding of this thesis is that an overreliance on the Colonial Health model has stifled the development of the Tanzanian Healthcare System. Three historically informed recommendations are submitted to support the development of a preventive-focused health model more in line with the 1967 Arusha Declaration and the 1969-1974 Second Tanzanian Development Plan.

  • Lake Manyara Watershed Assessment
    USFS - Greg Bevenger Photo/ Lake Manyara Watershed Assessment Progress Report December 2003 Lake Manyara Watershed Assessment: Progress Report—December 2003 1 I. LAKE MANYARA WATERSHED ASSESSMENT Overview African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has initiated a detailed assessment of the Lake Manyara watershed, which is one of two catchment basins that sustain the Tarangire-Manyara ecosystem, in northern Tanzania. Through a partnership with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), AWF is working to protect forest, soil and water resources in important African landscapes, through its African Heartland program. To address concerns of habitat fragmentation and environmental degradation within the Lake Manyara watershed AWF has partnered with local stakeholders and the USFS to conduct an assessment of the watershed. AWF is leading the assessment, which includes development of a GIS and associated database, and compilation of relevant information related to the Lake Manyara watershed. USFS is providing technical assistance in watershed science, as well as financial support. AWF is building upon the considerable work that has already been undertaken by partners in the region1, in order to improve the conservation of natural resources in this important landscape. AWF and USFS are conducting this assessment through a process that aims to characterize ecosystem elements from a watershed perspective, identify key issues and problems in the watershed, and ultimately provide management recommendations. Masai Steppe Heartland The assessment is being implemented through AWF’s African Heartland program, which is a collaborative, landscape-level management approach to conserving Africa’s unique wildlife resources. Heartlands are large areas of exceptional natural value where AWF works with a variety of partners, including local people, governments and other resource users to ensure these landscapes are prioritized for conservation and are kept ecologically and economically viable.
