And National Economy NORDIC WEEK UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA VICE PRESIDENT’S OFFICE ENVIRONMENT WEEK HIGH LEVEL SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENT AND NATIONAL ECONOMY 1 June, 2018 H.E. The Vice President of the Republic of Tanzania, Hon. Samia Suluhu Hassan planting a tree in a natural forest reserve established by the late Father of the Nation Mwl. Julius Kambarage Nyerere. This tree planting ceremony happened during the climax of the World Environment Day nationally commemortated in Butiama, 2017. HIGH LEVEL SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENT AND NATIONAL ECONOMY STATEMENT OF THE MINISTER OF STATE, UNION AFFAIRS AND ENVIRONMENT On 5th of June 2018, Tanzania will join other countries in the world to mark the World Environment Day (WED). This day was officiated in the first United Nations meeting on environment in Sweden in 1972, where a resolution was passed to mark it as World Environment Day to be globally celebrated each year. This year, the celebrations are being observed at the international level in New Delhi, India guided by the global theme “Beat Plastic Pollution”. The theme aims at promoting initiatives to discourage environmental degradation and pollution caused by plastic waste and plastic by-products. At the National Level, we mark WED in Dar es Salaam where city residents and all Tanzanian will have the opportunity to be informed and sensitized on how to combat the environmental challenges that impact Dar es Salaam and the country in general resulting into catastrophes particularly floods; pollution; coastline erosion along the Indian ocean coast and destruction of marine environment; and forest degradation due to the ever increasing consumption of charcoal particularly by residents in urban centres. It is estimated that the city of Dar es Salaam alone consumes more than 300,000 bags of charcoal everyday thus putting pressure on the natural forests and woodlands in other regions. The Celebrations for this year are guided by the Theme “Mkaa Gharama; Tumia Nishati Mbadala”. The theme aims at discouraging the use of charcoal made from trees as a source of energy for cooking and promote the use of alternative sources of fuel. In recognition of the significance of the environment to the national economy, this year’s commemorations will include holding of a High level Symposium on Environment and National Economy which is co-organized by the Vice President’s Office and the Nordic Embassies. The Symposium will bring together government leaders, development partners, technocrats, private sector and civil societies to the discourse on policy and practice on environment, climate change and economy as we chart the course for achieving sustainable development in Tanzania. The symposium will be conducted at Hyatt Regency, the Kilimanjaro on 1st June 2018 starting at 9:00am and the Guest of Honour will be H.E. Samia Suluhu Hassan, The Vice President of the United Republic of Tanzania. Apart from the High level Symposium and in order to cherish and promote the national theme, this year’s commemorations will be marked by exhibitions on alternative sources to fuelwood and charcoal as well as displays of technologies in the production of alternative charcoal made from waste and other materials apart from trees. These exhibitions will be held from 31st May to 5th June, 2018 at Mnazi Mmoja Grounds in Dar es Salaam with the aim to promote production and use of alternative sources of fuel to charcoal in the efforts to reduce deforestation caused HIGH LEVEL SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE, 1 ENVIRONMENT AND NATIONAL ECONOMY by cutting trees for fuelwood and charcoal production. As the initiatives to conserve the environment are specifically prescribed in the scriptures, this year’s commemorations will take on board religious leaders of all major faith denominations on the National Dialogue named “National Inter-faith Dialogue on Religion and Environment” to be held on 2nd June, 2018 at Kisenga Hall LAPF Millenium Towers, Kijitonyama Dar es Salaam. The aim is to concretize and bring to responsibility on environmental conservation on our citizens through religion. On the 3rd of June, 2018 the commemorations will be taken to citizens by conducting a public discussion on environment with a Theme ”Tulonge Mazingira” to be held at Mbagala Zakiem grounds. This will provide an opportunity to the people to talk about environmental conservation at their context with a view to sensitize them in taking action to protect the environment. The climax of the WED celebrations will be graced by the President of the United Republic of Tanzania H.E. Dr. John Pombe Magufuli. The President will inaugurate the sea wall constructed on the shores along Barrack Obama Road as a protection from sea erosion. Apart from that, there will be a speech and presentation of the Environmental Awards, and the announcement and presentation of awards to winners of Charcoal Challenge, sponsored by Shell Exploration and Production Tanzania Limited. May I call upon all stakeholders and every citizen to join in celebrating the environmental week effectively by sensitizing and educating one another on matters affecting environmental and climatic changes in their regions. I also encourage residents of Dar es Salaam region to fully participate in this week’s environmental activities by visiting the Mnazi Mmoja grounds to learn and exchange views on best practices in alternative energy technologies and conservation matters. Let us all be mindful that environmental conservation is a moral responsibility of each and every one of us. Save the environment to save life of now and the future. January Makamba (MP) Minister of State, Union Affairs and Environment HIGH LEVEL SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE, HIGH LEVEL SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE, 2 ENVIRONMENT AND NATIONAL ECONOMY ENVIRONMENT AND NATIONAL ECONOMY STATEMENT OF THE AMBASSADOR OF SWEDEN TO TANZANIA Tanzania has seen impressive economic growth for more than a decade and growth is set to continue as the industrialization efforts are realized. It has led to increased living standards and significant poverty reduction. This growth has come at a certain environmental cost however that is not yet fully accounted for. Increased economic activities and an increasing population is putting pressure on Tanzania’s abundant natural resources, such as arable land, forests and water. This has led e.g. to high rates of deforestation and land degradation which risks jeopardizing further growth and locking pockets of the population into poverty. The ongoing climate change is posing additional challenges. A set of responses have been put in place by the government but as the trends of national resources degradation continues, there is reason to enhance and further improve the management of these resources. A sustainable management of the environment and natural resources is a prerequisite for long-term economic growth for Tanzania. It is our sincere hope that this important conference will discuss and propose approaches and new measures for Tanzania in its endeavor to manage and safeguard its natural resources ensuring its use continues to provide economic benefits for present as well as future generations. H.E. Katarina Rangnitt Ambassador of Sweden to Tanzania HIGH LEVEL SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE, HIGH LEVEL SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENT AND NATIONAL ECONOMY 3 ENVIRONMENT AND NATIONAL ECONOMY THE THEME OF THE WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 2018 The global theme for the commemoration of the World’s Environment Day (WED) this year is “Beat Plastic Pollution”. The theme serves as a persuasion for the global community to bring together efforts to combat plastic pollution, one of the great environmental challenges of our time. Chosen by this year’s host, India, the theme of World Environment Day 2018 invites us all to consider how we can make changes in our everyday lives to reduce the heavy burden of plastic pollution on our natural habitat, marine life, wildlife and our own health. At national level this commemoration is widely celebrated countrywide in all regions and districts from 1st – 5th June, 2018.The national theme for the commemoration is “Charcoal is Costly: Use Alternative Energy”. This is a call to action for all Tanzanians to join the national efforts to combat deforestation and forest degradation in the country. It also aims at fostering environmental conservation by switching from biomass energy use in form of charcoal and firewood for cooking to other sustainable alternative sources of energy.

THE VILLAGE MUSEUM ELECTIONS 2000 - PRESIDENT MKAPA'S GREAT TRIUMPH But irregularities in Zanzibar harm the image President Mkapa and his Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party achieved an overwhelming victory in the October 29 elections in Tanzania. He won primarily because he had maintained peace but there were other reasons. He had established a good macro-economic climate for investment and begun to tackle corruption. People had been impressed by the way in which 40 incumbent CCM MP's had been rejected at the time of selection of CCM candidates for seats in parliament for what was described as 'violation of party ethics and regulations' (see Tanzanian Affairs No 67). The Tanzanian electorate has benefited also from some 40 years of education in politics from the late Mwalimu Nyerere and has become astute in choosing its representatives. People registered to vote in much greater numbers this time (8.1 million cif 6.8 million in 1995), they turned out in their thousands to listen to the four presidential candidates (causing an of them to believe that they were going to win!) and then proceeded to vote large numbers. They largely rejected parties considered to religiously biased - the Civic United Front (CUF) on the mainland was alleged to be Muslim oriented - and tribally-based as the Democratic Victoria regions was alleged to 2 Observers praised the mainland election for being broadly free and fair. Even if there had been irregularities, they could not have affected the overall result.

  • Tanzania Comoros at a Glance: 2001-02
    COUNTRY REPORT Tanzania Comoros At a glance: 2001-02 OVERVIEW President Benjamin Mkapa was re-elected in October 2000. His priorities for the next five years will include the anti-corruption drive; further building of democracy; addressing human rights issues; and the union with Zanzibar. Political tensions on Zanzibar are unlikely to improve—the Zanzibari authorities and the mainland government have refused to re-run elections on the island. Real GDP growth in the outlook period will be driven by strong growth in agriculture and by expansion in the mining, manu- facturing and tourism sectors. Inflation will continue its downward trend. Key changes from last month Political outlook • The political violence in Zanzibar has worsened. The EU, the Organisation for African Unity and the Commonwealth are attempting to mediate and bring reconciliation between the Chama Cha Mapinduzi government and the opposition. However, progress is expected to be slow. Economic policy outlook • Economic policy will be led by the IMF‘s poverty reduction and growth facility. Further privatisations and other liberalisation measures are en- visaged, as are effort to attract foreign direct investment, particularly to the mining and minerals sectors. Economic forecast • In line with the effects of ongoing power cuts in Tanzania, economic growth has been adjusted downwards for 2001-02. Real GDP is forecast to grow by 5.3% in 2001, increasing to 5.9% in 2002. • Inflation will continue to fall, averaging 5.5% in 2001 and 5% in 2002, reflecting lower oil prices and tight monetary policy. • The current-account deficit is forecast to narrow to 5.7% of GDP in 2001 and to 4.9% of GDP in 2002.
