The risk management concepts are intentionally broad-based with the specific details of assessing risk and employing appropriate risk mitigation strategies provided by the supporting National security standards and guidelines. The National Security Guides build on the Regulation standards and guidance, consolidate information from various Acts publications, and provide sample ways to implement the standards and guidelines. Developing the Bukombe District Council Risk Management Framework and supporting documentation is a dynamic process where the risk management concepts and related documents are continually being refined and updated to better meet the needs of the user community. This means that the Quick Start Guides may be based on evolving ideas documented in draft Council standards and guidance or reference documents that have been superseded by a later version. The Quick Start Guides will be updated regularly as Bukombe District Council standards and publications change.

ENVISION is funded by the US Agency for International Development under cooperative agreement No. AID-OAA-A-11-00048. The period of performance for ENVISION is September 30, 2011, through September 30, 2019. The author’s views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the US Agency for International Development or the United States Government. ENVISION Project Overview The US Agency for International Development (USAID)’s ENVISION project (2011–2019) is designed to support the vision of the World Health Organization (WHO) and its member states by targeting the control and elimination of seven neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), including lymphatic filariasis (LF), onchocerciasis (OV), schistosomiasis (SCH), three soil-transmitted helminths (STH; roundworm, whipworm, and hookworm), and trachoma. ENVISION’s goal is to strengthen NTD programming at global and country levels and support ministries of health (MOHs) to achieve their NTD control and elimination goals. At the global level, ENVISION—in close coordination and collaboration with WHO, USAID, and other stakeholders—contributes to several technical areas in support of global NTD control and elimination goals, including the following: • Drug and diagnostics procurement, where global donation programs are unavailable • Capacity strengthening • Management and implementation of ENVISION’s Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) • Disease mapping • NTD policy and technical guideline development • NTD monitoring and evaluation (M&E).

    The United Republic of Tanzania Mortality and Health National Bureau of Statistics Ministry of Finance Dar es Salaam and Office of Chief Government Statistician Ministry of State, President Office, State House and Good Governance July, 2015 UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA, ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIES 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 others, 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 services delivery as well as for monitoring and evaluating national and international development frameworks. The 2012 PHC was 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.

    Deforestation in Tanzania: A Development Crisis? Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Deforestation: An Overview 3. Kahama District ­ Geographical Setting 4. Deforestation in Kahama District 5. Tobacco Cultivation and its Impact on Miombo Woodlands 6. The Role of government Policies in the Deforestation Process In Tanzania 7. Policies and Strategies to Deal With Deforestation 8. CONCLUSION References 1. Introduction Background Deforestation has recently become a major concern for many countries in the world. It is one of the most pressing land use problems. Deforestation is occurring around the world on a scale never known before. More than 30 per cent of the world's forest is believed to have been deforested (Litvinoff 1990). Most of the damage is believed to have taken place during the last 45 years. By the early 1990s, almost 40% of the earth's land surface had been converted into cropland and permanent pasture (World Resources Institute [WRI] et al. 1996). Deforestation is mainly a tragedy of the developing countries where high rates have been experienced. These countries are estimated to be losing about 11 million ha of tropical forest annually, and it is projected that about 225 million ha will be cleared by the year 2000 (FAO 1982; WRI et al. 1985; WRI and IIED 1988). Over half of today's deforestation occurs in Latin America, where roughly 10% of the Amazon has gone (Litvinoff 1990). Africa is the most severely deforested continent. Forests in Africa are believed to have been cleared 29 times faster than they were being planted in the early 1980s compared to 10.5 in Tropical America and 4.5 in Tropical Asia (Holmberg, Bass and Timberlake, Bass and Timberlake 1991).
