that endorsed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its accompanying 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs reflect the call for shared action “for people, planet and prosperity” as well as for “partnerships and peace” to be implemented by all countries. In 2017, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania acknowledged the importance of Agenda 2030 by releasing a national SDG baseline report, which allows the country to monitor progress towards the achievement of SDGs. The Government released a National SDG Data Road Map to facilitate SDG monitoring and is currently strengthening its SDG coordination architecture. In 2019, the United Republic of Tanzania participated and presented its Voluntary National Review (VNR), which highlights progress made on SDGs, at the annual High Level Political Forum (HLPF) of the United Nations.

    2019 Tanzania in Figures The United Republic of Tanzania 2019 TANZANIA IN FIGURES National Bureau of Statistics Dodoma June 2020 H. E. Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli President of the United Republic of Tanzania “Statistics are very vital in the development of any country particularly when they are of good quality since they enable government to understand the needs of its people, set goals and formulate development programmes and monitor their implementation” H.E. Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli the President of the United Republic of Tanzania at the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the new NBS offices in Dodoma December, 2017. What is the importance of statistics in your daily life? “Statistical information is very important as it helps a person to do things in an organizational way with greater precision unlike when one does not have. In my business, for example, statistics help me know where I can get raw materials, get to know the number of my customers and help me prepare products accordingly. Indeed, the numbers show the trend of my business which allows me to predict the future. My customers are both locals and foreigners who yearly visit the region. In June every year, I gather information from various institutions which receive foreign visitors here in Dodoma. With estimated number of visitors in hand, it gives me ample time to prepare products for my clients’ satisfaction. In terms of my daily life, Statistics help me in understanding my daily household needs hence make proper expenditures.” Mr. Kulwa James Zimba, Artist, Sixth street Dodoma.”. What is the importance of statistics in your daily life? “Statistical Data is useful for development at family as well as national level because without statistics one cannot plan and implement development plans properly.

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 previous censuses, will contribute to the improvement of quality of life of Tanzanians through the provision of current and reliable data for policy formulation, development planning and service delivery as well as for monitoring and evaluating national and international development frameworks. The 2012 PHC is unique as the collected information 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 PHC being one of them. Several of these core indicators for poverty monitoring are measured directly from the 2012 PHC.

This thesis argues that the primary mover of the migration were the edicts, or Farmans, of the Ismaili spiritual leader. They were instrumental in motivating Ismailis to go to East Africa.

  • Urban Governance in Tanzania
    www.gsdrc.org [email protected] Helpdesk Research Report Urban governance in Tanzania Emilie Combaz 25.06.2015 Question Please identify key literature on urban governance in Tanzania. Contents 1. Overview 2. State of knowledge 3. Political economy in diverse urban contexts 4. Land use, urban farming, and land property 5. Provision of public goods and services 6. About this report 1. Overview Urbanisation has been increasing quickly in Tanzania. The share of the population who lives in cities had reached nearly 30 per cent by 2012 - an average annual increase of 6 per cent since 1967 and twice the rate of population growth (Wenban-Smith, 2014: 4). Up to 80 per cent of these urban residents live in informal settlements, with few basic services (UNICEF, 2012: 1). The opportunities and challenges urbanisation generates for development have been well documented. In this context, many authors emphasise that making urbanisation work for development is not just about technical issues such as physically building infrastructure. It is inherently about formal and informal political decision-making over the collective functioning and organisation of city life: it is about urban governance. What recent knowledge is available to shed light on urban governance in Tanzania? Available literature is limited, but it is methodologically strong and covers a wide range of dimensions (see section 2 for details). Key points include the following. Taking into account the political economy of diverse urban contexts is essential to understand how urban governance functions and to identify possibilities for improvement. - For urban planning, political economy analyses offer crucial insights on the conflicting interests at play.

  • Urban Expansion in Zanzibar City, Tanzania
    1 Urban expansion in Zanzibar City, Tanzania: Analyzing quantity, spatial patterns and effects of 2 alternative planning approaches 3 4 MO Kukkonen, MJ Muhammad, N Käyhkö, M Luoto 5 6 Land Use Policy, 2018 - Elsevier 7 8 Abstract 9 Rapid urbanization and urban area expansion of sub-Saharan Africa are megatrends of the 21st century. 10 Addressing environmental and social problems related to these megatrends requires faster and more efficient 11 urban planning that is based on measured information of the expansion patterns. Urban growth prediction 12 models (UGPMs) provide tools for generating such information by predicting future urban expansion patterns 13 and allowing testing of alternative planning scenarios. We created an UGPM for Zanzibar City in Tanzania by 14 measuring urban expansion in 2004–2009 and 2009–2013, linking the expansion to explanatory variables with 15 a generalized additive model, measuring the accuracy of the created model, and projecting urban growth until 16 2030 with the business-as-usual and various alternative planning scenarios. Based on the results, the urban 17 area of Zanzibar City expanded by 40% from 2004 to 2013. Spatial patterns of expansion were largely driven 18 by the already existing building pattern and land-use constraints. The created model predicted future urban 19 expansion moderately well and had an area under the curve value of 0.855 and a true skill statistic result of 20 0.568. Based on the business-as-usual scenario, the city will expand 89% from 2013 until 2030 and will 21 continue to sprawl to new regions at the outskirts of the current built-up area.
