The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar Ministry of Education and Vocational Training and President’s Office – Regional Administration and Local Government and Special Departments Annual Joint Education Sector Review Report 2019 Prepared by: Annual Joint Education Sector Review Technical Working Group March 2019 1 Foreword The purpose of this document is to outline a series of actionable recommendations that have come off the back of MoEVT and PO-RALGSD 2019 AJESR Meeting and Joint Field Visits carried out in February 2019. These recommendations have been formed from insights gathered during the field visits, presentations delivered at the AJESR meeting, group discussion and feedback from participants. The recommendations are intended to guide the Ministry’s strategic priorities over the coming year; in particular, they should influence the MTEF budgeting cycle due to begin in March 2019. In addition to this, this report also intends to summarize the key themes that emerged during the presentations at the AJESR meeting. The report also contains recommendations on how to improve the logistics of the AJESR meeting and field visits for next year. This document is intended primarily for MoEVT and PO-RALGSD policymakers, Development Partners and Civil Society Organizations in order to influence their decision-making ahead of the budgeting process for 2019/2020. It should also be disseminated to broader stakeholders in the Zanzibar education sector. The recommendations outlined in this report should be monitored and assessed throughout the year to ensure their timely implementation and enable the quick resolution of issues. At the AJESR meeting in 2020, the Ministry’s progress in implementing these recommendations will be assessed and reported on. 2 Acknowledgement The MoEVT and PO-RALGSD would like to thank all participants who contributed to the AJESR joint field visits and meeting. For the field visits, this includes not only the enumerators but also the parents, students, district education officers, subject advisors, headteachers and teachers who participated in the interviews and focus groups. All schools, district education offices and TCs were well-prepared for our visits which allowed them to be conducted efficiently and effectively. The MoEVT and PO-RALGSD would like to thank all these various stakeholders for their cooperation in this endeavor. For the AJESR meeting, the MoEVT and PO-RALGSD would like to thank all the participants for their helpful comments and feedback both during the group exercises and in the Q&A sessions at the end of the presentations. These comments helped us to appreciate the different insights of various different stakeholders in the education sector, and helped inform the deliberations contained in this document. In addition to the participants, thanks must also be extended to the presenters at the AJESR for ensuring all presentations were high quality and well organized. These presentations have been archived in our website (see Annex 6) and should hopefully serve as guidance for many years to come. 3 Table of Contents Foreword ................................................................................................................................................ 2 Acknowledgement .................................................................................................................................. 3 Table of Contents .................................................................................................................................... 4 Acronyms ................................................................................................................................................ 6 1.

As they follow developments in rural mainland Tanzania, and in other countries, they develop notions of what “the ideal” life different from previous generations’. Youths tend to not consider farming and fishing as real jobs anymore, rather seeking jobs in offices and business. In Zanzibar, it is believed that supporters of the ruling party have greater economic opportunities. For decades, Pemba Island has been the stronghold of the political opposition. Young Pembans therefore find it hard to seek the privileges of ruling party supporters. As there is little room in their community for critique of the opposition party, they seek to become apolitical through political disengagement. This is a difficult project, since the opposition party over time has become a central part of the people’s shared identity. This master thesis discusses everyday forms of resistance in Wete town on Pemba Island, where politics are strongly polarized.

Located in the Indian Ocean, just south of the Equator, the Zanzibar archipelago comprises two major islands - Unguja and Pemba - and more than 50 other small and remote islets. In the last census, of 2012, Zanzibar had 1,303,569 inhabitants. The population had increased by 33% since the previous census of 2002, with an average annual growth rate of 2.8. Population growth rates are projected to be high. While Zanzibar is working towards alleviating abject poverty, climate change is yet another bottleneck to its socio.- economic development. Climate variability has caused prolonged dry periods and unpredictable rainfall patterns making crop cultivation unproductive. Freshwater resources are also in limited supply mainly dependent on seasonal rains that store water in inefficient groundwater aquifers consisting of freshwater lenses floating on the underlying seawater1.Furthermore, increasing temperatures have occasionally caused seal level rise leading to saltwater intrusion in low-lying farm fields, notably rice farms. To this end, the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar in consultation with stakeholders and guided by Zanzibar’s development Vision 2020 and the MKUZA-III development plans, has developed a Zanzibar Climate Change Strategy (ZCCS) in 2014.
