  • United Republic of Tanzania
    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.

  • Impact Evaluation of HIMA Iringa Region Tanzania
    Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Danida) Impact Evaluation of HIMA Iringa Region Tanzania Annex 7: Satellite Image Analysis Prepared jointly by: Orbicon A/S Ringstedvej 20 DK-4000 Roskilde Denmark Goss Gilroy Inc. Management Consultants Suite 900, 150 Metcalfe Street Ottawa, Ontario K2P 1P1, Canada October 2007 1.0 Concepts of Using Satellite Images as a Monitoring Tool In the ToR defining activities for the Evaluation, it was anticipated that satellite images were to be used in the HIMA implementation period and that the images should be used for “before and after” assessment of physical HIMA interventions. However, satellite images were not used in any documents despite several reports stating that such analysis could be valuable for monitoring purposes. Although considered several times by various project management teams as well as the RDE staff, the HIMA project never purchased any satellite images. In 2000, air photos were taken of divisions in both Makete and Njombe districts. The photos from Makete were missing and a series of photos in a scale of 1:50,000 covering Imalinyi and Lupembe divisions in Njombe division were available. Unidentified air photos from 1985 and 1986 (incomplete series) from the former IRADEP (Iringa agricultural development project, EEC) in a scale of 1:25,000 were also found. The incomplete regional IRADEP photos from 1985 and the HIMA photos from 2000 are missing the “flight run maps”, are lacking in even basic initial ground interpretation, as well as field verification and do not include photos over several years within the impact measurement period. Ultimately, the photos are of no value to the Evaluation.
