Box 1923, Tel: 255 26 2321607, Fax: 255 26 2322116, Dodoma, TANZANIA. EIA Expert: Dr. Rubhera RAM Mato. P. O. Box 35176, Dar es Salaam, TANZANIA. Tel: +255 754 898592; E-mail: [email protected] Project Background and Rationale The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania through the Prime Minister's Office, Regional Administration and Local Governments (PMO-RALG), intends to improve road networks in the Dar es Salaam Metropolitan area covering all the three municipalities of Kinondoni, Ilala and Temeke. In Kinondoni Municipality, 13 roads covering a total of 24.65km, will be upgraded from gravel/earth to bitumen standard or by improving the existing tarmac roads. The local roads improvement aims to provide safe and efficient access to social and economic activities by removing transport flow constraints, supporting the present and projected economic and social development in Dar es Salaam. The Dar es Salaam Metropolitan Development Project (DMDP), as nicknamed, will be implemented with financial assistance from the World Bank. The PMO-RALG has awarded Ms. Crown TECH-Consult Ltd of Dar es Salaam to provide consultancy services for carrying out the feasibility study, Detailed Engineering Design and preparation of Tender documents for the Local Roads subproject. The consultancy also includes carrying out Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the proposed local roads investments. Brief Description of Project Environment The Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC) is among the three municipalities of the Dar es Salaam City, consisting of 4 divisions, 34 wards, and 171 sub-wards. The Municipality has a total population of 1,775,049 and an average household size of 4.0 according to 2012 national Census. Out of the total population 860,802 are male and 914,247 female. The Dar es Salaam City experiences relatively high rainfall (800-1200mm per year), and high ambient temperature (25-35oC) and humidity (67-96%). The geology of Dar es Salaam consists of two major geological units, that is, the underlying substratum of semi consolidated formations and outcropping rocks and superficial material mainly loose sediments. The soil is largely clayey and sandy. The Municipal vegetation is constituted of various species of disturbed bushland and woodland species comprising of coastal shrubs along the beach areas in Mbezi Beach, Kunduchi, and Mbweni, Miombo woodland, and vegetation in coastal swamps and mangrove ii ESIA Report for the Proposed Upgrading of the Kinondoni Local Roads PMO-RALG trees. Part of the municipal land is cultivated (especially in the periurban areas) with different kinds of crops, comprising of mixed cropping; cultivation with tree, shade, bushy and herbaceous crops. The Mabwe Pande natural forest is within the municipality boundaries and is home to some endemic plants. Tree species found in the study area include Neem trees and Ashoka trees and teak trees. Wildlife in the municipality are mainly invasive bird species, particularly the Indian house crow which has out-competed many small native African birds. The municipality has a number of beautiful beaches including the Oysterbay, Mbweni, Ndege Beach, Ununio, Kunduchi and Buyuni beaches. In the northern coast between Msasani bay and Mbweni is an area of sensitive sand beach ridges mainly used as tourist attraction. The municipality has several seasonal rivers/streams including Tegeta, Mbezi, Mlalakuwa, Kijitonyama and Sinza. Only the Sinza stream crosses the subproject roads, Makanya Road. Many of the rivers are considered grossly contaminated due to incessant discharge of both liquid and solid wastes. Air and noise pollution are among the modern issues in the city of Dar es Salaam. the air pollution sources include gaseous dust and particulate emissions from motor vehicles, industrial stacks construction activities and mining activities. The main pollutants emanating from these sources are sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matters. The sources of noise are construction actives, traffic, entertainment centers and commercial sites like markets. Noise pollution is gradually increasing in Tanzania. Passenger vehicles contribute more significantly to the problem compared to other vehicles. Noise pollution is more significant during day time, with peaks in morning and evening hours. The main landuse in the subprojects areas is human settlement, of which many of the areas are unplanned. During the ESIA study, it was revealed that (33.5%) of households were engaged in business and (28.1%) depend on formal employment, 18. % are dealing with small scale business, and informal employment is occupied by (12.6%). The Kinondoni Municipal Council has 33 public health facilities and 168 private health facilities. There is one municipal public hospital (Mwananyamala) and 2 municipal public health centres namely Magomeni and Sinza. According to soicila survey study conducted under this consultancy in the subprojects the main diseases include; Malaria (20.2%), Skin flash (14.1%), Diarrhoea (11.3%), TB (7.9%), and HIV/AIDS (0.3%). The HIV infection prevalence rate in Dar Es Salaam region is 6.9% in 2012, which almost the same rate for Kinondoni municipality. Project Stakeholders and their involvement in the ESIA Process Stakeholders included government agencies, beneficiaries, commercial companies, and all other formal or informal groups associated with a project. Interviews and Community meetings were used in the process of stakeholder involvement. From one stakeholder, the team was connected to another and another stakeholder, in chain like or network process. The following is a short list of both institutional and individual stakeholders that were consulted; Kinondoni Municipal Council, TANESCO zone manager, DAWASCO iii ESIA Report for the Proposed Upgrading of the Kinondoni Local Roads PMO-RALG TANROADS Regional offices. Meetings at Msasani, Magomeni, Ndugumbi, Tandale, Manzese, Sinza, Kijitonyama, Makuburi and Kimara wards. Results of Public Consultations The following issues were raised by stakeholders; Land take: Unfair compensation of affected properties. This was echoed at every mtaa meeting. Inability of the proponent to mark out the Right of way (RoW) in advance and people are worried about government officials’ who may embezzle compensation funds. The eligibility and compensation packages should be made transparent to the PAPs. The PAPs should be educated and counseled in implementing resettlement. Majority of people are insisting that the government should help them to find new land to relocate despite of being compensated. Destruction of property within RoW: The project will impact properties that are within the RoW. These include residential, business premises and community structures. The loss of these properties will affect livelihoods. It is felt that compensation may not be forthcoming or fair. Increased Road accidents: Accidents will increase during operations therefore precautions of installation of bumps; zebra crossing should be included in the road design. It is also important to educate communities on road uses as well as road act. Parking area considered in the design and bus stand: Since there are a lot of vehicles in Dar es salaam, it is important for a road design to consider establishment of special areas for car parking to avoid unnecessary accidents caused by poor packing of the vehicles. Almost all wards expressed their dire need to have bus stops in their respective areas as this will have several benefits to their wards. Temporary road diversions during road construction: During roads construction temporary routes should be prepared so that vehicles/buses continue to operate along the roads. This will help to reduce traffic congestion and Kinondoni roads have a socio- economic importance to people in Dar es Salaam area and neighbouring municipals. Compensation of affected properties: The affected properties might

  • Dar Es Salaam-Ch1.P65
    Chapter One The Emerging Metropolis: A history of Dar es Salaam, circa 1862-2000 James R. Brennan and Andrew Burton This chapter offers an overview history of Dar es Salaam. It proceeds chronologically from the town’s inception in the 1860s to its present-day status as one of the largest cities in Africa. Within this sequential structure are themes that resurface in later chapters. Dar es Salaam is above all a site of juxtaposition between the local, the national, and the cosmopolitan. Local struggles for authority between Shomvi and Zaramo, as well as Shomvi and Zaramo indigenes against upcountry immigrants, stand alongside racialized struggles between Africans and Indians for urban space, global struggles between Germany and Britain for military control, and national struggles between European colonial officials and African nationalists for political control. Not only do local, national, and cosmopolitan contexts reveal the layers of the town’s social cleavages, they also reveal the means and institutions of social and cultural belonging. Culturally Dar es Salaam represents a modern reformulation of the Swahili city. Indeed it might be argued that, partly due to the lack of dominant founding fathers and an established urban society pre- dating its rapid twentieth century growth, this late arrival on the East African coast is the contemporary exemplar of Swahili virtues of cosmopolitanism and cultural exchange. Older coastal cities of Mombasa and Zanzibar struggle to match Dar es Salaam in its diversity and, paradoxically, its high degree of social integration. Linguistically speaking, it is without doubt a Swahili city; one in which this language of nineteenth-century economic incorporation has flourished as a twentieth-century vehicle of social and cultural incorporation for migrants from the African interior as well as from the shores of the western Indian Ocean.

  • Dar Es Salaam City and Challenges in Solid Waste Management. The
    Dar es Salaam City and Challenges in Solid Waste Management. The Case of Manzese and Sinza Wards in Dar es Salaam Emmanuel Patroba Mhache The Open University of Tanzania Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of Geography P.O. Box 23409, Dar es Salaam E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The focus of this paper is on challenges facing solid waste management in Manzese and Sinza wards, in Dar es Salaam city. In this paper different ways of generating, disposing waste and the associated problems are surveyed. About 102 people were interviewed. Different methods were employed in data collection which included direct observation, focus group interviews and questionnaires. Moreover, both secondary and primary data were collected. Sources of solid wastes are domestic, commercial and industrial enterprises. About 60% of domestic and industrial waste is deposited in landfills; the rest is burned, incinerated, taken to the dump or recycled. In major urban cities and centres, land suitable for waste disposal is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. The study found that poor waste management is coupled with a number of problems such as eruption of diseases and foul smell. Stern measures must be legally instituted, reinforced and enforced to ensure that all residents adhere to them. Residents should be sensitized and educated on the importance of managing their waste in a proper and sustainable manner. Keywords: Solid waste, solid waste management, urbanization. INTRODUCTION Urbanization is a global challenge that is an irreversible process (Kironde, 2000). Urbanization is also perceived in different dimensions. The first challenge is that, urbanization is a result of increasing proportion of urban population in a country.

  • Assessment of Crime and Crime Level in Kinondoni Police Regional
    International Journal of Political Science (IJPS) Volume 3, Issue 2, 2017, PP 56-64 ISSN 2454-9452 http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-9452.0302007 www.arcjournals.org Assessment of Crime and Crime Level in Kinondoni Police Regional Stations, Dar Es Salaam Tanzania 1John Makuri Imori, 2William Amos Pallangyo 1 A Senior Police Officer – Tanzania Police Force 2Senior Lecturer- Law School of Tanzania, Dar es salaam, Tanzania Abstract: This article assesses the crime and crime level from Kinondoni Police regional stations. The determinants of crime are analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Multinomial Logistic Regression Model. The findings indicate seven determinants of crime. It points out that crime against property is the main category. Respondents with the following characteristics (youths, males, unemployed, with less earning, having low level of education and never married), are more likely to commit offences against person and crimes against property. The article suggests that police force has to review the effectiveness of its initiative of involving the community in policing and increase its finance, physical and human resources to match with growing population. Keywords: crime, police force and remanded persons 1. INTRODUCTION Peace and Security are key components to human life and development. Peace and security form a substantial platform for the country’s social and economic achievement. The police force as state machinery is primarily responsible for the maintenance of peace and security. To enable the police force to perform its duties efficiently and effectively, the Government endorsed the Tanzania Police Force Reform Programme (TPFRP) in the year 2011. The programme had three pillars, namely; modernization, professionalism and community policing.

  • Tanzania 2018 Crime & Safety Report
    Tanzania 2018 Crime & Safety Report According to the current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication, Tanzania has been assessed as Level 2 – Exercise increased caution. Overall Crime and Safety Situation U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The ACS Unit cannot recommend a particular individual or location and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. The U.S. Department of State has assessed Dar es Salaam as being a CRITICAL-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. Please review OSAC’s Tanzania-specific webpage for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Tanzania has unique challenges domestically and regionally. Urban areas with the greatest populations (Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza, Stone Town) are confronted with national security challenges, specifically crime and terrorism, that require mitigation strategies. Crime Threats Most incidents include non-violent property crime and both violent and non-violent street crime. Street crime is rampant in urban areas, including in Dar es Salaam. Most incidents are crimes of opportunity, targeting people carrying bags, backpacks, computer cases, cameras, purses or items left in plain sight inside a vehicle. Most of these snatch-and-grab crimes are committed by unarmed assailants. Assailants tend to operate in small groups where only one person may overtly take part in a mugging.
