Sincere thanks are due particularly to several Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre (TFNC) staff who made important contributions from the preparation to the inventory exercise itself. These include TFNC management team, programme officers and support staff. This inventory exercise could never have been completed without high-level commitment of many individuals and institutions so that they become real exchange partners of Food Nutrition and related issues materials ii 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Rationale Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre (TFNC) has been producing publications to meet the needs of various stakeholders at different levels. These stakeholders include policy makers, trainers, researchers, students, extension workers and the general public. Others are the Ministries and its affiliated institutions that we collaborate with. These are the Ministries of Health and Social Welfare, Education and Vocational Training, Agriculture, Food Security and Co- operatives, Regional Administration and Local Government, Community Development Gender and Children. Also the Centre collaborate with the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS), Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), The Open University of Tanzania (OUT), Hubert Kairuki Memorial University, Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS), National AIDS Control Programme (NACP), National Institute of Medical Research (NIMR), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH), Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS), Tanzania Drugs and Food Authorities (TFDA), Some NGOs, secondary schools (ordinary and advanced levels) particularly those teaching Home Economics and Human Nutrition and the Public Libraries which all receive TFNC publications. Other stakeholders which the Centre collaborates with are International organizations. These include United Nation Children Funds (UNICEF), World Health Organization (WHO), Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), United State of America International Development (USAID) The Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA), The International Baby Food Action Network Africa (IBFAN Africa), Natural Research Institute (NRI), World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) and African Medical Research Foundation (AMREF). 1 The Centre over the years; has been distributing its publications to those stakeholders through various channels such as workshops, Books exhibitions, postal delivery on request or personal visits. Since the distribution of TFNC publications has been carried out in that style for a long time, it was felt that there is a need to review the list of our stakeholders both inside and outside the country. We desired to review the list due to the fact that since contact persons may have moved, or scope of partners may have changed or even new partners may be interested in our products. With that in mind therefore, the inventory exercise has enabled us modify the list to remove/add new users for improvement of the distribution for better knowledge sharing. Also through inventory we have been able to sensitize the institutions that produce publications of our interests and we have identified what we can get from them on exchange agreements. The following activities were done so as to accomplish the inventory exercise: • Development of a tool for the inventory • Take inventory of local and international institutions that are relevant to the Centre. • Take inventory of their existing websites • Check list of existing contact persons in collaborating institutions • Take stock of relevant publications produced by collaborating institutions • Establish mode of communication with partners and their postal/physical addresses • Compile an exhaustive list of exchange partners for the Centre • Compile useful Websites to the Centre. 2 1.2 Objective of inventory exercise 1.2.1 General objective To take inventory of Nutrition publications Exchange Partners with TFNC so as to strengthen TFNC Library collection as well as achieving a wider dissemination of Food and Nutrition Information. 1.2.2 Specific objectives: 1. To identify Nutrition information Exchange partners 2. To identify partners producing/generating information on nutrition or related matter for public use 3. To establish mode of communication with partners and their postal/physical addresses 4. To identify proportion of partner receiving publications from TFNC. 2.0 METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY 2.1 Study population: The target population comprised of all Ministries, NGOs, UN Agencies and Institutions involved in implementation and dissemination of Food, Nutrition Health and related information to the community based in Dar es Salaam. Also we targeted Development partners (International Organizations and bilateral and multilateral Agencies) outside Tanzania dealing with designation of Food Nutrition and related information. 2.2 Sampling procedures: Purposive sampling techniques was used in selecting 7 Ministries, 10 NGOs, 10 UN Agencies and Bilateral Organizations and 14 Research, Service and Academic Institutions. 3 2.3 Data collection procedures. A questionnaire to be used to collect relevant data was developed by 4 TFNC programme officers and later on distributed to the respondents who were required to fill in. These were the heads of communication, IEC units, Training units or Librarians under the institutions. Questionnaires were sent to respondents through postal channels as well as physical contacts. In most cases, there was physical dialogue between the investigators and the respondents on the importance of the assessment before it was accepted and affected. The project staff were later on responsible for follow-up and collection of the completed questionnaires from the respondents. Some of the questionnaires were returned to TFNC by respondents themselves or via post. Additionally, information was collected through documents, e-mail and through discussion with the relevant staff in the relevant institutions. 2.4 Data processing and Analysis: Data collected from respondents were summarized manually on various sheets of papers. In summarizing the data great care was taken to make sure that it actually reflected the original meaning of information collected. Numerical datas were summarized in tables using descriptive statistics of percentages for easy presentation and interpretation. 4 3.0 FINDINGS 3.1 Characteristics of Information Exchange Partners involved Four categories of institutions were involved in the rapid assessment of nutrition information exchange partners. These are Government

  • 2012 Population and Housing Census
    The United Republic of Tanzania 2012 POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS Population Distribution by Administrative Areas National Bureau of Statistics Ministry of Finance Dar es Salaam and Office of Chief Government Statistician President’s Office, Finance, Economy and Development Planning Zanzibar March , 2013 Foreword The 2012 Population and Housing Census (PHC) for United Republic of Tanzania was carried out on the 26th August, 2012. This was the fifth Census after the Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964. Other Censuses were carried out in 1967, 1978, 1988 and 2002. The 2012 PHC, like others, will contribute to the improvement of quality of life of Tanzanians through the provision of current and reliable data for development planning, policy formulation and services delivery as well as for monitoring and evaluating national and international development frameworks. The 2012 PHC is unique in the sense that, the information collected will be used in monitoring and evaluating the Development Vision 2025 for Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar Development Vision 2020, Five Year Development Plan 2011/12 – 2015/16, National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) commonly known as MKUKUTA and Zanzibar Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (ZSGRP) commonly known as MKUZA. The census will also provide information for the evaluation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015. The Poverty Monitoring Master Plan, which is the monitoring tool for NSGRP and ZSGRP, mapped out core indicators for poverty monitoring against the sequence of surveys, with the 2012 Census being one of them. Several of these core indicators for poverty monitoring will be measured directly from the 2012 Census.

BMC Health Services Research (2020) 20:527 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-020-05407-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Clinical characteristics and health care received among patients with type 2 diabetes attending secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities in Mwanza Region, Tanzania: a cross-sectional study Mariam J. Munyogwa1* , Reuben William2, Stephen M. Kibusi1 and Nyasiro S. Gibore1 Abstract Background: Tanzania is among the sub-Saharan African countries facing a tremendous increase in the burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In order to provide diabetes health care services, the government has established diabetes care clinics in secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities. However, previous studies have demonstrated a disparity in availability of supplies and equipment for provision of diabetes health care services at these healthcare facilities. This study aims to assess the clinical characteristics and health care received among patients with type 2 diabetes attending secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities in Mwanza Region, Tanzania. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Mwanza Region from June to September, 2018.Three hundred and thirty patients were selected by systematic random sampling from three healthcare facilities. A structured questionnaire was utilized to collect information on patient characteristics, health care received and patient perception of care. Patient blood pressure, blood glucose, weight and height were measured during the study. Percentages, chi-square tests and multivariable analysis were conducted to obtain the proportions, make comparisons and determining the correlates of tertiary-level healthcare facility. Results: Approximately half of respondents (54.5%) were from secondary healthcare facilities. The prevalence of hypertension (63.3%), hyperglycemia (95.8%) and obesity (93.3%) were high.

    African Postal Heritage; African Studies Centre Leiden; APH Paper 19, Part 1; Ton Dietz Tanzania Postmarks: Northern Tanzania; Version May 2017 African Studies Centre Leiden African Postal Heritage APH Paper nr 19, part 1 Ton Dietz Tanzania Postmarks: Northern Tanzania Version May 2017 Introduction Postage stamps and related objects are miniature communication tools, and they tell a story about cultural and political identities and about artistic forms of identity expressions. They are part of the world’s material heritage, and part of history. Ever more of this postal heritage becomes available online, published by stamp collectors’ organizations, auction houses, commercial stamp shops, online catalogues, and individual collectors. Virtually collecting postage stamps and postal history has recently become a possibility. These working papers about Africa are examples of what can be done. But they are work-in- progress! Everyone who would like to contribute, by sending corrections, additions, and new area studies can do so by sending an email message to the APH editor: Ton Dietz ([email protected]). You are welcome!

    The Study on Rural Water Supply JICA in Mwanza and Mara Regions in the United Republic of Tanzania KOKUSAI KOGYO CO., LTD. 4.4 Groundwater Development Plan Formulation of a groundwater development plan is difficult compared with areas that have thick sands and gravel sedimentation as a stratum aquifer, especially along large rivers. The porous and permeable layer in the alluvial and tertiary deposits does exist only in limited areas. In addition to the geological point of view, the water quality is largely affected by the mineralization and sedimentation that occurs in areas which have the potential of dissolving toxic substances such as fluoride, NO3 and saline minerals. However, there are certain areas which provide safe and sustainable groundwater. Therefore, the villages close to the high potential area in reference with the water availability map have a higher possibility of developing groundwater sources. 4.4.1 Evaluation of Exploitable Amount of Groundwater The mass balance of groundwater recharge of 35 years (1970-2004) is shown in the following table. The water balance calculation was made both for general mass balance calculation and application of the Tank Model, and the results have been obtained from the Tank Model calculation result. The extraction of groundwater in each district is estimated in the following table.
