The United Republic of Tanzania The United Republic of Tanzania The United Republic of Tanzania Jointly prepared by: National Bureau of Statistics and City Executive Director, Mbeya City Council November, 2016 Mbeya City Council Socio Economic Profile, 2015 Foreword The Mbeya City Socio-Economic Profile has been produced in response to the government’s initiative through President Office, Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG) of implementing the Development by Devolution and Local Economic Development (LED). This approach empowers people to fully participate in their own development processes. To ensure trickle down effects to the local level and households both from economic growth and service delivery, the plan proposes further decentralization of the Government system in order to respond to local needs in a timely manner. Local Government must be increasingly empowered to make planning decisions. This is in line with the goals of the Second Five Year Development Plan II (FYDP II), which cover the 2016/17 to 2020/21 period and outlines new interventions to enable Tanzania industrialize in a way that will transform its economy and its society. The Plan is built on three pillars of accelerating transformation namely industrialization, human development, and implementation effectiveness. Consequently, the Plan aspires to build a base for transforming Tanzania into a semi-industrialized nation as stipulated in the Tanzania Development Vision (TDV) 2025; Accelerate poverty-reduction through economic growth that is broad-based and inclusive to allow shared benefits to the majority of the people through increased productive capacities and job creation especially for the youth and the disadvantaged groups; Improve quality of life and human wellbeing; Foster development of self-propelling domestic productive and exporting capacities; Promote requisite industrial human skills, production and trade management, operations and quality assurance; Consolidate Tanzania’s strategic geographical location through improved environment of doing business to position itself as a trade and logistic hub; Foster and strengthen plan implementation effectiveness, including prioritization, sequencing, integration and alignment of interventions; Emphasize the role of local actors in planning and implementation; and assimilate global and regional solidarity agreements, specifically Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Africa Development Agenda 2063 and East Africa Community Vision (EAC), 2050 with the aim of mainstreaming them into the national and sub national development planning and implementation frameworks. ii Mbeya City Council Socio Economic Profile, 2015 As a result of the above-mentioned initiatives, this document includes data that help to monitor progress as well as facilitate the delivery of quality social services to the people. It also includes descriptive statistics and indicators that measure the performance of sectors following Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025 and the FYDP II which includes goals that are in line with United Nation’s SDGs, the Africa Development Agenda, 2063 and the EAC Vision 2050. The Tanzania’s Development Vision, 2025 outlines five attributes to characterize Tanzania in 2025, namely high quality livelihoods; peace, stability and unity; good governance and the rule of law; an educated and learning society; a strong and competitive economy. The TDV 2025 which is being implemented in phases of FYDPs aims to achieve and to accelerate economic growth through industrialization and poverty reduction, improving the standard of living and social welfare of the people as well as promoting good governance and accountability. These aims are achieved through creation of a fair working environment for building a strong and competitive economy. In order to monitor the progress made through implementing various activities for achieving these goals, there is need for ensuring quality data and timely information is available at all administrative levels. This is essential for preparing evidence based plans, making informed decisions and output oriented programmes for realizing TDV, 2025 aspirations. Experience has shown that there are problems and challenges that are still common that require availability of enough resources. As for other councils in Tanzania, Mbeya City Council faces multiple social and economic problems that require sustainable improvement. Among the socio-economic issues that need special attention in this council includes lack of enough health facilities and health personnel, high infant and mortality rates, lack of enough pre-primary education centres as recommended by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, high school dropouts rates at primary and secondary level, inefficient land use management programs, limited access of agricultural inputs and implements, poor road network and inadequate telecommunication services such as landlines and post Offices. Quality management of social and economic services needs a sustainable and continuous improvement of essential facilities from time to time. iii Mbeya City Council Socio Economic Profile, 2015 The situation is exacerbated further by poverty, lack of by-laws at community level that lead to environmental deterioration caused by human activities such as deforestation and overgrazing. These are driving forces in search of basic needs and unpredictable natural events such as hurricanes among others, which eventually put pressure on the environment. Indeed, efforts and responses to meet such challenges are constrained by various factors including ignorance of people on undesirable consequences destroying the environment and; ill prepared and unsustainable rural development programs followed by poor implementation, monitoring and evaluation. These are attributed to limitations in policy formulation, project identification, design and implementation due to lack of adequate and reliable data and up to date information on rural development processes. It is obvious, availability of quality data and information at City level is a pre-requisite for the success in formulating, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of development programs at all administrative levels. The publication of the Mbeya City Socio-Economic Profile series by the President Office, Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG) has been accomplished in collaboration with the National Bureau of Statistics and Mbeya City Council Administration Management Team. Admittedly, this should be viewed as an encouraging attempt towards alleviating problems of data and information gaps at distract level. The City Profile covers a wide range of statistics and information on geography, population, social-economic parameters, social services, economic infrastructure, productive sectors and cross cutting issues. These statistics are vital to all policy makers, planners, researchers, donors and functional managers. The Mbeya City Socio-Economic Profile has been produced by sharing experience gained in the production of other council socio-economic profiles in the country. The profile contains useful information for our customers, various stakeholders and development partners. In the above circumstances, constructive views and criticisms are therefore invited from various stakeholders to improve this profile for facilitating planning processes and proper implementation of development programmes at City level. Last but not least, I take this opportunity to acknowledge with gratitude the National Bureau of Statistics for their guidance and technical support and staff of Mbeya City Council who worked tirelessly to ensure that this task was completed successfully to the highest standard possible. iv Mbeya City Council Socio Economic Profile, 2015 Summary of Key Indicators for Mbeya City Council, 2012 Census Population Group Mbeya City Number Percent Total Population 385,279 100.0 Male 182,620 47.4 Female 202,659 52.6 Children (Under 1 year) 11,016 2.9 Male 5,488 3.0 Female 5,528 2.7 Children (0–4 years) 50,045 13.0 Male 25,066 13.7 Female 24,979 12.3 Young Population (0–14 years) 141,475 36.7 Male 69,116 37.8 Female 72,359 35.7 Young Population (0–17 years) 170,025 44.1 Male 81,622 44.7 Female 88,403 43.6 Youth Population (15–24 years) 98,132 25.5 Male 44,228 24.2 Female 53,904 26.6 Youth Population (15–35 years) 169,973 44.1 Male 78,053 42.7 Female 91,920 45.4 School-Age Population Primary school (7–13 years) 63,163 16.4 Male 30,459 16.7 Female 32,704 16.1 Secondary School (14–17 years) 37,943 9.8 Male 16,688 9.1 Female 21,255 10.5 Working Age Population (15–64 years) 234,043 60.7 Male 109,031 59.7 Female 125,012 61.7 Women of Reproductive Age (15–49 years) 114,934 56.7 Elderly Population (60+ years) 14,883 3.9 Male 6,985 3.8 Female 7,898 3.9 Elderly Population (65+ years) 9,761 2.5 Male 4,473 2.4 Female 5,288 2.6 Age-Dependency Ratio 64.6 v Mbeya City Council Socio Economic Profile, 2015 Summary of Key Indicators for Mbeya City Council, 2015 Mbeya City Sisimba Division Iyunga Division Indicators Number Percent Number Percent Number Percent Total land (Square kilometer) 250.08 100.0 101.99 40.8 148.09 59.2 Area used for food crops (ha) 4,009 100.0 1,144 28.5 2,865 71.5 Total food production (tons) 6,094 100.0 1,286 21.1 4,808 78.9 Area used for cash crops (ha) 904 100.0 594 65.7 310 34.3 Total cash production (tons) 16,091 100.0 10,347 64.3 5,744 35.7 Total number of livestock 336,985 100.0 80,444 23.9 256,541 76.1 Types of road networks (kilometer) Trunk 44.6 8.0 11.5 5.8 33.1 9.2 District or urban

Sally McBrearty is complttinJ! her thesis at Urbana, Dr Waane is with the·Tanzanian An­ tiquities, while Dr Wynn is on faculty at the University of Colorado. While this volume of A-zania was in press, we discovered that, as a result of some unexplained com­ munication problem, another version of this paper had appeared in Tanzania Notes and Records, 88/89 {for 1982), pp, 15-32 , At this late staJ!e and in view of various editorial amendments and reduction aJ!reed with the authors when the note was offered to Azania and accepted in JIOOd faith, we have decided not to delete it from our proofs. We are happy to have the aJ!ret~ment of the editors ofTNR to this. Normally, however, we would not carry an article or note already published or accepted elsewhere. The TNR version will be valuable to a number of readers for its illustration of stone artefacts. In 1976 we undertook an archaeological survey of portions of lleje, Kyela, Mbeya, Mbozi and Tukuyu Districts of Mbeya Region in southern Tanzania. As no formal archaeological reconnaissance of the region had previously been undertaken, our intention was to establish the general outlines of prehistoric occupation of the area.

  • International Journal of Science Arts and Commerce a History of Rungwe
    International Journal of Science Arts and Commerce Vol. 2 No. 2, April-2017 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE ARTS AND COMMERCE A HISTORY OF RUNGWE DISTRICT IN TANZANIA FROM PRE-COLONIAL TO COLONIAL PERIOD Reginald Mwakilambo Department of History, The Open University of Tanzania Abstract This article highlights the historical events that occurred in Rungwe District, Tanzania in pre colonial and colonial periods. It gives an analysis of the situation during the pre-colonial period and how the district became integrated in the capitalist economic system after the establishment of colonial rule. Capitalist relations were in terms of the establishment of cash crop estates as an element of colonial economic structure. Both peasant-type and estate productions involved productions for exports to metropolitan countries by firmly solidifying world capitalist economic relations as the metropoles were set ready to receive processed products from the district. 1.0 Introduction Rungwe District lies between longitudes “80 30′ and 90 30′ E” and latitudes “330 and 340 S” in the southern part of Mbeya Region.1 It is bordered by Mbeya District to the North, Makete District in Njombe Region to the East, Kyela District in the South and Ileje District in the West. The district consists of four divisions, which are “Ukukwe, Busokelo, Pakati and Tukuyu.”2 The geographical boundaries of the district have never been fixed in the past, but they have been changing by differently defined by the previous colonial governments of the Germans and British, and later by the independent government of the United Republic of Tanzania. The beginning of German colonial rule in Rungwe District was in 1893 by the German explorer Major Von Wissmann who founded a government station at a place along Lake Nyasa which was given the name “Langenburg” in the honour of “Prinz von Hohenlohe-Langenburg” the champion of German colonial endeavours (currently known as Lumbila in Ludewa District).
