The region is situated in western Tanzania and it borders the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with Lake Tanganyika to its west, Tabora and Geita regions to its east, Kagera region and Burundi to its north and Katavi region to its south. Its economy is primarily agricultural based with large population engaged in subsistence agriculture farming apart from other activities like fishing, beekeeping, and livestock keeping. Kigoma Region has a lot of potential for development but the underdevelopment of economic infrastructure such as roads, unreliable rail and air transport and inadequate supply of electricity has been the most significant barrier to industrialization and socio-economic development of the region. The Government of Tanzania has been taking various measures to open up economic opportunities of the region. Among the measures include upgrading of road network to bitumen standard (Kigoma – Tabora and Kigoma – Nyakanazi), improvement of railway line and turning Kigoma as a dry port for neirbour countries hence making Kigoma a terminal of the central railway and a transit port to the DRC, Rwanda, Burundi and Zambia for both passenger and cargo services, declaring Kigoma as a FREE TRADEA AREA to cater for the regional trade. In order to support those economic activities, availability of reliable electricity supply to the region and its districts of Uvinza, Buhigwe, Kasulu, Kibondo and Kakonko is of paramount importance. With all other efforts, the Government of Tanzania in corroboration with the African Development Bank (AfDB) through the Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO) is intending to construct a 132kV transmission line from Malagarasi Hydropower Plant to Kigoma substation where there will be a 400/132/33 substation to receive the power line from Nyakanazi. The proposed transmission line is intended to evacuate about 44.8MW of generated power from Malagarasi Hydropower plant. The grid substation will be constructed at Kidahwe in Kigoma District Council. The transmission line will be about 53km long. Therefore, the main objectives of the project is to supply reliable electricity in Kigoma region and attract connection to the national grid and get rid of diesel power generation which is quite expensive. However, the most critical point in respect of socio-economic issues in this context is the compensation of third party properties and interests along the transmission way- leave, substation and hydropower plant areas. Hence the need for Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) preparation. The objective of this Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is to ensure that all households and persons that will be affected by the proposed Malagarasi Hydropower Project iv (HPP), transmission line and substation are promptly and fairly compensated for any loss of crops, land and assets (houses and other building structures). Efforts have been made during the detailed planning phase and survey of the proposed transmission line route to minimise impacts by avoiding settlements Also RAP aims to fulfil the requirements defined in the national legislation pertaining to resettlement, most notably the Land Acquisition Act of 1967, the Land Act and the Village Land Act of 1999 and the Land Regulation of 2001. Also RAP considers the provisions of the AfDB OS 2 policy and the World Bank Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (WB OP 4.12). The following are the main objectives of Resettlement Action Plan Define rules for eligibility for compensation To present a social-economic basis of project affected persons (PAPs) for which identification of entitlements and livelihood restoration strategies for minimizing the impacts on the PAPs so as to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them in a pre – displacement levels Establish land acquisition and compensation processes and establish a dispute resolution mechanism to address any grievances arising from the displacement Identify gaps between international guidelines and the laws of Tanzania on matters addressing issues of involuntary displacement and suggest how the gaps can be narrowed to meet international best practices To propose the monitoring and evaluation program that will measure how well the mitigation will be implemented during the project cycle To recommend cost effective measures to be implemented to mitigate against the expected impacts To identify the criteria for different categories of PAPs who would require some form of assistance, compensation, rehabilitation or relocation (vulnerable groups) To present proposed livelihood restoration measures for the affected PAPs and the villages as discussed with PAPs. To identify the project affected persons (PAPs) and type of assets they own To assess and present type of vulnerable groups and propose the appropriate mitigation measures ES.2 Project area and Project Description The proposed project will be located in Kigoma district council and Uvinza district council. Uvinza district council will have large portion of the project area as the Malagarasi HEP and 90% of the proposed 132kV transmission line will be positioned in the district while Kigoma district council shall be occupied by 400/132/33kV substation and 10% of the 132kV transmission line. The hydropower plant is located in Igamba while the transmission line traverses Mazungwe and Kazuramimba in Kazuramimba ward, Kalenge and Mlela in Kandaga ward all in Uvinza District and v Kidahwe in Kidahwe ward in Kigoma District. The proposed project involves a construction of about 53km of 132kV overhead transmission line from Malagarasi Hydropower Plant to new Kigoma 400/132/33kV substation, Construction of hydropower plant (44.8MW) utilizing Igamba falls stage III with associated facilities, construction of new 400/132/33kV substation and a switch yard at Malagarasi. The transmission line will utilize a 20m wide corridor from Malagarasi switch yard to Mazungwe and 26m wide corridor from Mazungwe to Kidahwe respectively. Two types of towers are being considered mono tubular towers or self-supported lattice steel towers. Both will have concrete foundations. The proposed Malagarasi Hydropower plant Stage III was recommended after Malagarasi Stage II was dropped due to environmental concerns. The power plant has been designed to yield a maximum of 44.8MW using maximum water flow of 171m3/s and deliver 186.8 GWh with a plant factor of 0.48. The plant will have 3 generators rated 15.75MW each utilizing a head of 30.5m and unit water flow of 57m3/s. The proposed substation is designed to have a single busbar system of 400kV with possibility of future upgrade to 400kV double busbars. The substation will have one 400/132kV 120MVA power transformer and one 132kV/33kV 40MVA power transformer with each having a spare transformer. The rated power of the transformers covers the estimated power demand and also include the generated power from Malagarasi hydropower plant as well as expected future load increase. The project components leading to RAP also involves the construction of graveled access road of about 27 km from the main

Makunga1* and Salome B. Misana2 1Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, Pasiansi Wildlife Training Institute, Mwanza, Tanzania. 2Department of Geography, University of Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Received 13 February, 2017; Accepted 20 March, 2017 This paper presents findings of a study on the effectiveness of forest resource governance on the performance of the REDD+ project in the Masito-Ugalla ecosystem in Uvinza district, western Tanzania through transparency, accountability, participation and integrity. The study was conducted in Ilagala, Karago and Kirando villages with the objective of understanding the effects of forest resources governance on REDD+ project performance as well as examining the best ways of integrating forest resource governance with REDD+ projects. The methods used in the study included household interviews that used a structured questionnaire, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather qualitative data from key informants. The findings revealed that despite the efforts undertaken by REDD+ initiative in Masito-Ugalla ecosystem, its performance was generally average. Such performance was due to the support rendered by JUWAMMA, the inter-village community based organization, to the REDD+ project activities in the area. Poor forest resources governance had, however, continued to hamper its performance.

  • Tanzania | a Leader Among Africa’S Emerging Markets
    Tanzania | A Leader among Africa’s Emerging Markets Tanzania A Leader among Africa’s Emerging Markets October 2016 01 Tanzania | A Leader among Africa’s Emerging Markets Brief overview The United Republic of Tanzania (Tanzania) has recorded an annual average growth rate of more than 6% over the past decade and is on course to maintain a robust growth rate of over 6.5% going forward. Despite global economic and financial uncertainties, the economy has been able to achieve these consistent growth rates coupled with a low inflation rate, driven by activity in sectors such as mining, energy, construction and manufacturing. Improving public sector efficiency and a crackdown on corruption has been the focus of the new administration under the leadership of President John Magufuli, elected in 2015. The government intends to stimulate inclusive growth and reduce poverty levels by running a leaner administration, promoting tax compliance, building Private-Public Partnerships (PPPs) and attracting investment into industrial sector development. Underpinned by favourable demographics and supported by a government that is showing signs of principled leadership with intentions to invest in education, skills transfers and infrastructure to drive growth, Tanzania is well-positioned to continue on its current rapid growth path. Its young and culturally-diverse population of more than 50 million makes it eastern Africa’s second most- populous nation after Ethiopia; expected to reach almost 83 million by 2030. Greater emphasis on upscaling urban hard and soft infrastructure and creating employment opportunities in light of a rapidly-growing urban population will be integral in supporting its national development vision, the Tanzania Development Vision (TDV) that looks to transform the economy into a middle-income and semi-industrialised state by 2025.
