The union is headed by a president who is also the head of government; its unicameral legislative body is the National Assembly (parliament). Zanzibar, although part of the union government, has its own president, court system, and legislature, and exercises considerable autonomy. Tanzania held its fourth multiparty general elections on October 31, in which voters on both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar elected a union president and their respective representatives in the union legislature. President Kikwete, the incumbent Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) candidate, was reelected union president with 61.7 percent of the vote. The national elections were generally peaceful, but there were several protests in urban areas associated with the slow pace of reporting election results. In Zanzibar the October elections proceeded peacefully after a power-sharing agreement was reached between the ruling CCM party and the opposition Civic United Front (CUF). In a July 31 referendum, Zanzibaris voted to amend the constitution to allow for a unity government. In October the Zanzibar electorate elected Ali Mohamed Shein, the immediate past union vice president, as president of Zanzibar with 50.1 percent of the vote and also elected members of its House of Representatives.

Through CBT, local communities earn revenues that directly improve their livelihoods and managing sustainably the biodiversity. Furthermore, it improves the level of transparency, governance and technology transfer among themselves. This study aims to explore the role and the potentiality of community based sustainable tourism scene of Mwiba wildlife Ranch, which is located on the Southern part of the Serengeti ecosystem. The study took Mwiba wildlife ranch as the case study due to the fact that it is the first ever wildlife ranch in Tanzania and it is operated through public-private partnership whereby the land is solely owned by Makao village. The study results show that the ranch contributes significantly in improvement of socio-economic development for the Makao village communities and Tanzania in general through the payments of several fees, provision of full time and part time employments and in the conservation of both endangered and threatened wildlife species. Finally the study identified some conservation and management challenges such as livestock encroachment, boundary dispute and lack of transparency and accountability in terms of the uses of tourism benefits that accrued from the ranch.

    Tanzania-Netherlands District Rural Development Programme RURAL SHINYANGA CWIQ Baseline Survey on Poverty, Welfare and Services in Rural Shinyanga Districts AUGUST 2004 Implemented by: EDI Ltd (Economic Development Initiatives) PO Box 393 Bukoba Kagera Region Tanzania Tel & Fax: 028 2220059 Economic Development Initiatives Email: [email protected] [email protected] Rural Shinyanga CWIQ FOREWORD Shinyanga Region consists of seven rural districts. The effective management of development of this region depends on the interest of many different stakeholders who share a common concern to alleviate poverty of the rural population in those seven districts. This Shinyanga CWIQ report gives an overview of the magnitude of poverty in communities. Also it gives a representative view on utilisation and satisfaction of our rural population with the social services provided in the Shinyanga rural districts provided by the Government and the Non Government agencies. This book is unique as it is the first comprehensive survey of its kind to be administered in Shinyanga Region. The book should be appreciated as a baseline survey to measure changes overtime in household welfare and satisfaction levels with social services provided in result of development policies implemented. I hope that this book will contribute to a better understanding of the daily problems of our rural population. The Government, Non-Government Organisations and other stakeholders being concerned in development of the rural population are challenged to enhance collaboration in support of a comprehensive response to overcome the developmental constraints in the context of National priorities and policies.

Millao Regional Administrative Secrectary Shinyanga Region II Rural Shinyanga CWIQ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was funded by the Royal Netherlands Embassy through its DRDP project and implemented by EDI (Economic Development Initiatives).
