    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.

  • 2012 Population and Housing Census
    The United Republic of Tanzania Basic Demographic and Socio- Economic Profile 2014 Key Findings 2012 Population and Housing Census Overview The United Republic of Tanzania carried out a Population and Housing Census (PHC) on 26th August, 2012. The 2012 PHC 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 fundamental objective of the 2012 PHC was to provide information on the size, distribution, composition and other socio-economic characteristics of the population, as well as information on housing conditions. The 2012 PHC also used a Community Questionnaire to collect information on the availability of socio-economic services such as schools and hospitals. The information provided is useful for monitoring and evaluating the country’s development programmes. The 2012 Tanzania Basic Demographic and Socio-Economic Profile provide short descriptive analyses and related tables on main thematic areas covered in the 2012 PHC. Topics covered in the report include population size and growth, age and sex distributions; household composition, marital status, disability, citizenship, birth registration and diaspora. Other topics are fertility and mortality, survival of parents, literacy and education, economic activities, housing conditions, ownership of assets, household amenities, agriculture and livestock; and social security funds. This booklet gives a summary of the 2012 Basic Demographic and Socio-Economic Profiles of Tanzania (Volume IIIA), Tanzania Mainland (Volume IIIB), Tanzania Zanzibar (Volume IIIC) and a Detailed Statistical Tables for National Basic Demographic and Socio-Economic Profile (Volume IIID). In many cases, characteristics have been disaggregated by rural and urban areas.

  • Urban Expansion in Zanzibar City, Tanzania
    1 Urban expansion in Zanzibar City, Tanzania: Analyzing quantity, spatial patterns and effects of 2 alternative planning approaches 3 4 MO Kukkonen, MJ Muhammad, N Käyhkö, M Luoto 5 6 Land Use Policy, 2018 - Elsevier 7 8 Abstract 9 Rapid urbanization and urban area expansion of sub-Saharan Africa are megatrends of the 21st century. 10 Addressing environmental and social problems related to these megatrends requires faster and more efficient 11 urban planning that is based on measured information of the expansion patterns. Urban growth prediction 12 models (UGPMs) provide tools for generating such information by predicting future urban expansion patterns 13 and allowing testing of alternative planning scenarios. We created an UGPM for Zanzibar City in Tanzania by 14 measuring urban expansion in 2004–2009 and 2009–2013, linking the expansion to explanatory variables with 15 a generalized additive model, measuring the accuracy of the created model, and projecting urban growth until 16 2030 with the business-as-usual and various alternative planning scenarios. Based on the results, the urban 17 area of Zanzibar City expanded by 40% from 2004 to 2013. Spatial patterns of expansion were largely driven 18 by the already existing building pattern and land-use constraints. The created model predicted future urban 19 expansion moderately well and had an area under the curve value of 0.855 and a true skill statistic result of 20 0.568. Based on the business-as-usual scenario, the city will expand 89% from 2013 until 2030 and will 21 continue to sprawl to new regions at the outskirts of the current built-up area.

  • Community Resource Mobilization for Informal Settlements Regularization: Impact of Private Community Partnership in Tanzania
    COMMUNITY RESOURCE MOBILIZATION FOR INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS REGULARIZATION: IMPACT OF PRIVATE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP IN TANZANIA EDWARD KINABO, RENNY CHIWA, PAMELA MARO, ALLOYCE NYAISA HUMAN SETTLEMENTS ACTION (HUSEA) - TANZANIA [email protected] [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Paper Prepared for Presentation at the “2019 WORLD BANK CONFERENCE ON LAND AND POVERTY” The World Bank - Washington DC, March 25-29, 2019 Copyright 2019 by Author(s). All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. ABSTRACT The need to mobilize resources from alternative sources beyond government revenues and donor grants is very critical towards achieving not only Tanzania urban development, but also the global goal of ensuring inclusive and sustainable cities and communities by 2030. This Paper offers practical approaches from a Private Community Partnership that strategically addressed resource gap for financing sustainable urban planning, development and management with a special focus on Informal Settlements Regularization. It presents best practices from the Human Settlements Action (HUSEA) – a private Urban Planning firm that mobilized over 1.5 Billion TZS (equivalent to 639, 577.02 USD) from informally developed communities in Dar-Es-Salaam city. The ongoing Partnership has so far put in regularization over 30,404 land parcels that benefit over 148,979 lives in a span of 8 months. It concludes that there is a huge potential of resources at community level that, if well tapped, can finance public developmental projects. KEY WORDS: Community, Informal Settlements, Resource mobilization, Regularization, Urbanization 1.

Access for all demands both affordability and cost- recovery, and utilities (and donors) increasingly require users to shoulder the greater burden of cost- recovery. We argue that the electricity system is underpinned by a set of relationships among user, pro- Keywords: vider and the service itself: these relationships are mediated by the meter, the technology of commodi- Sustainable Development Goal 7 fication. Using a constant-comparison approach, and based on a year of interviews and document Access to electricity analysis, we compare postpaid and prepaid meter regimes in Unguja, Tanzania. We ask: what difference Commodification does the mode of payment make to the (residential) user, the utility, and to the prospects for meeting Cost-recovery Culture of non-payment SDG 7? We find that the prepaid meter becomes reified with its automated monitoring and measurement mechanism, rendering the once-familiar meter reader obsolete, and shutting off the flow of electricity as soon as the customer’s ‘‘units” have run down. Reification makes the utility more invisible to the cus- tomer, who now blames the meter rather than the utility for poor service or high bills. Our interviews reveal broad support for the prepaid meter, however, because economically vulnerable users expressed greater fear of debt than of the dark, and were willing to cede control of their consumption to the new meter.
