  • Dar Es Salaam City and Challenges in Solid Waste Management. The
    Dar es Salaam City and Challenges in Solid Waste Management. The Case of Manzese and Sinza Wards in Dar es Salaam Emmanuel Patroba Mhache The Open University of Tanzania Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of Geography P.O. Box 23409, Dar es Salaam E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The focus of this paper is on challenges facing solid waste management in Manzese and Sinza wards, in Dar es Salaam city. In this paper different ways of generating, disposing waste and the associated problems are surveyed. About 102 people were interviewed. Different methods were employed in data collection which included direct observation, focus group interviews and questionnaires. Moreover, both secondary and primary data were collected. Sources of solid wastes are domestic, commercial and industrial enterprises. About 60% of domestic and industrial waste is deposited in landfills; the rest is burned, incinerated, taken to the dump or recycled. In major urban cities and centres, land suitable for waste disposal is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. The study found that poor waste management is coupled with a number of problems such as eruption of diseases and foul smell. Stern measures must be legally instituted, reinforced and enforced to ensure that all residents adhere to them. Residents should be sensitized and educated on the importance of managing their waste in a proper and sustainable manner. Keywords: Solid waste, solid waste management, urbanization. INTRODUCTION Urbanization is a global challenge that is an irreversible process (Kironde, 2000). Urbanization is also perceived in different dimensions. The first challenge is that, urbanization is a result of increasing proportion of urban population in a country.

  • Assessment of Crime and Crime Level in Kinondoni Police Regional
    International Journal of Political Science (IJPS) Volume 3, Issue 2, 2017, PP 56-64 ISSN 2454-9452 http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-9452.0302007 www.arcjournals.org Assessment of Crime and Crime Level in Kinondoni Police Regional Stations, Dar Es Salaam Tanzania 1John Makuri Imori, 2William Amos Pallangyo 1 A Senior Police Officer – Tanzania Police Force 2Senior Lecturer- Law School of Tanzania, Dar es salaam, Tanzania Abstract: This article assesses the crime and crime level from Kinondoni Police regional stations. The determinants of crime are analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Multinomial Logistic Regression Model. The findings indicate seven determinants of crime. It points out that crime against property is the main category. Respondents with the following characteristics (youths, males, unemployed, with less earning, having low level of education and never married), are more likely to commit offences against person and crimes against property. The article suggests that police force has to review the effectiveness of its initiative of involving the community in policing and increase its finance, physical and human resources to match with growing population. Keywords: crime, police force and remanded persons 1. INTRODUCTION Peace and Security are key components to human life and development. Peace and security form a substantial platform for the country’s social and economic achievement. The police force as state machinery is primarily responsible for the maintenance of peace and security. To enable the police force to perform its duties efficiently and effectively, the Government endorsed the Tanzania Police Force Reform Programme (TPFRP) in the year 2011. The programme had three pillars, namely; modernization, professionalism and community policing.

  • Tanzania 2018 Crime & Safety Report
    Tanzania 2018 Crime & Safety Report According to the current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication, Tanzania has been assessed as Level 2 – Exercise increased caution. Overall Crime and Safety Situation U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The ACS Unit cannot recommend a particular individual or location and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. The U.S. Department of State has assessed Dar es Salaam as being a CRITICAL-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. Please review OSAC’s Tanzania-specific webpage for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Tanzania has unique challenges domestically and regionally. Urban areas with the greatest populations (Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza, Stone Town) are confronted with national security challenges, specifically crime and terrorism, that require mitigation strategies. Crime Threats Most incidents include non-violent property crime and both violent and non-violent street crime. Street crime is rampant in urban areas, including in Dar es Salaam. Most incidents are crimes of opportunity, targeting people carrying bags, backpacks, computer cases, cameras, purses or items left in plain sight inside a vehicle. Most of these snatch-and-grab crimes are committed by unarmed assailants. Assailants tend to operate in small groups where only one person may overtly take part in a mugging.
