    Value Chain Analysisfor Sawnwood from Ulanga District To

    VALUE CHAIN ANALYSISFOR SAWNWOOD FROM ULANGA DISTRICT TO MOROGORO MUNICIPALITY, TANZANIA REHEMA SELEMANI MWINYIMKUU A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE ECONOMICS OF SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE.MOROGORO, TANZANIA. 2017 ii ABSTRACT This study analyzed sawnwood value chain in Ulanga District and Morogoro Municipality. Specifically, the study mapped the actors along the chain, determined profit ateach node and examined factors influencing profitability among actors along the value chain. The sample of 66 respondents was selected for interview from four wards based on their market relationship. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected. Content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data and sub-sector mapping was employedto map sawn wood value chains,while SPSS computer software was used to analyze quantitative data.Results indicated thatthere were various actors along the sawn wood value chain but the major ones found in the study area were sawn woodproducers, transporters, wholesalers, retailers and consumers as well as service providers.The profit accrued along the value chain is comparableamong retailers and wholesalers but producers are far less benefitingwhereby retailers takes a share of 46.3% of the total profit followed by wholesalers and/or transporters who earna shareof 38.5% of the total profit while producers accrue only 15.5% of the total profit.Regression analysis revealed thatprice, quality of sawnwood and capital of the actors were statistically significantat (P<0.05)in influencing sawnwood profitability. It is recommended that sawnwood producers should organize themselves in groups and share their capital so as to be in a position to search for the market and transport consignment to the distant markets such as Morogoro, instead of selling within the district which will help them to have negotiation leverage to wholesalers and hence maximize their profit.

Mohamed6 and Alexander Schulze5,7* Abstract Background: Assessing quality of health services, for example through supportive supervision, is essential for strengthening healthcare delivery. Most systematic health facility assessment mechanisms, however, are not suitable for routine supervision. The objective of this study is to describe a quality assessment methodology using an electronic format that can be embedded in supervision activities and conducted by council health staff. Methods: An electronic Tool to Improve Quality of Healthcare (e-TIQH) was developed to assess the quality of primary healthcare provision. The e-TIQH contains six sub-tools, each covering one quality dimension: infrastructure and equipment of the facility, its management and administration, job expectations, clinical skills of the staff, staff motivation and client satisfaction. As part of supportive supervision, council health staff conduct quality assessments in all primary healthcare facilities in a given council, including observation of clinical consultations and exit interviews with clients. Using a hand-held device, assessors enter data and view results in real time through automated data analysis, permitting immediate feedback to health workers. Based on the results, quality gaps and potential measures to address them are jointly discussed and actions plans developed. Results: For illustrative purposes, preliminary findings from e-TIQH application are presented from eight councils of Tanzania for the period 2011–2013, with a quality score <75 % classed as ‘unsatisfactory’.

This study was carried out to determine the diversity and dietary adequacy of farming households in four selected districts of Morogoro region in Tanzania. Adult household members from 140 households participated in the study. A 24-hour dietary recall, dietary diversity score and frequency of food consumption tools were used to assess and quantify nutrient intake and adequacy of consumed diets in farming households. Tanzania food composition tables were used to compute estimates of the energy intake, macro and micronutrients consumed by farming households. Analysis was done using SPSS version 18 and Microsoft excel version 10. Cereal food group was consumed in relatively large quantities compared to other food groups in the surveyed households. The contribution of cereal group to energy intake was 75-82%, protein 8-16% and fat 9-14%.

    Tanzania Work Plan FY 2018 Project Year 7

    Tanzania Work Plan FY 2018 Project Year 7 October 2017–September 2018 ENVISION is a global project led by RTI International in partnership with CBM International, The Carter Center, Fred Hollows Foundation, Helen Keller International, IMA World Health, Light for the World, Sightsavers, and World Vision. 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).
