The material has been prepared at the request of CICRED, as part of its contribution to the objectives of the World Population Year, 1974. In common with other developing countries of Africa, the East African countries are becoming acutely aware of the importance of rapid population growth and its significance to the attainment of development objectives. It has become increasingly clear that with the current rates of growth and the limited resources, the burden of socio-economic development programmes has become more serious. The search for alternative strategies to development must therefore focus attention on the impact of accelerating growth rate which leads to retardation of the rate of economic and social development.

Data was collected through physical observation of schools’ building facilities and examination results from the National Examination Council of Tanzania for O-Level results for a period of seven years. A total of 97 government secondary schools were examined where a correlation analysis was made between a weighted physical condition status of a school and pass/fail ratio in examinations. The study has established though a positive correlation exists between a school’s physical condition and examination performance, such correlation is not of statistical significance.

  • Tanzania Country Case Study Report
    Perspectives on Climate-Smart Agriculture from Across the Globe Tanzania Country Case Study Report United Republic of Tanzania i August 2016 Acknowledgments The Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network (FANRPAN) have produced this Case Study in partnership with the Government of Tanzania for the Enabling Environment Action Group (EEAG) of the Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture (GACSA). In 2015, the Enabling Environment Action Group commissioned six case studies assessing the state of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) implementation in Costa Rica, France, Ireland, Malawi, Tanzania and Vietnam. The EEAG works to identify the technical, policy and investment conditions needed to scale up CSA approaches, and to promote the harmonization of community-based national agriculture, climate change and food system policies. The development of this Case Study was led by Mr. Njongenhle M. B. Nyoni, Researcher under the Climate Smart Agriculture team at FANRPAN under the supervision of Ms. Sithembile Mwamakamba and Dr. Tshilidzi Madzivhandila of FANRPAN. We greatly appreciate the contributions of Mrs Shakwaanande Natai, Head of Environment Management Unit of the Ministry of Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries (MALF), Tanzania whose experience in the preparation of the Tanzania CSA Programme and CSA guidelines has greatly benefited this study. We thank the staff of the FANRPAN Tanzania Node, the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF) for coordinating the national CSA policy dialogue, which was convened to validate the findings of this study. We would like to thank the following colleagues for their contributions in developing the Case Study: Ms. Mary Majule Ministry of Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries, Tanzania Ms.
