Sustainability of Health Benefits
www.sciedu.ca/jha Journal of Hospital Administration 2015, Vol. 4, No. 4 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Sustainability of health benefits: Challenges faced by councils health management teams in sustaining comprehensive emergency care services after project phase out. The case of Rufiji, Kilombero and Ulanga districts Josephine Shabani ,∗ Iddagiovana Kinyonge, Hadija Kweka, Selemani Mbuyita, Ahmed Makemba, Godfrey Mbaruku Ifakara Health Institute, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Received: January 13, 2015 Accepted: April 3, 2015 Online Published: April 28, 2015 DOI: 10.5430/jha.v4n4p1 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/jha.v4n4p1 ABSTRACT Background: Attention to the sustainability of health intervention programs is increasing not only in developing countries but also in developed countries together with international development agencies. However, consensus on operational definitions of sustainability and determinants of sustainability is still at an early stage. While much progress has been made in the development of successful interventions to promote health, too few interventions achieve long term sustainability. Implementation of EMPOWER project in collaboration with World Lung Foundation (WLF) have increased accessibility of comprehensive emergency obstetric care (CEmOC) by upgrading health centers which were formerly not providing CEmOC services in the three rural districts in Tanzania. Although the WHO standards of CEmOC coverage in the project districts was above the requirement, but accessing these health facilities which provides CEmOC was so difficult due to various factors like geographical (mountains, rivers, seasonal roads), locations of these health facilities (like in one district the it was located at a corner of the district), unreliable referral system and poor functionality of these health facilities especially in terms of emergency preparedness etc. -

Kilombero Plantations Limited
KILOMBERO PLANTATIONS LIMITED MNGETA FARM SQUATTER SURVEY REPORT Claude G. Mung’ong’o, PhD and Juma Kayonko, MSc Natural Resource Management Consultants P.O. Box 35097, Dar es Salaam FEBRUARY 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Background Located in Mngeta Division, Kilombero District, Mngeta Farm (5,818 ha) is owned by Kilombero Plantations Ltd (KPL), a public-private partnership between the Rufiji Basin Development Authority (RUBADA) and InfEnergy Tanzania Ltd. In 1986, the Government of Tanzania granted the farm area to the Korea Tanzania Agricultural Company (KOTACO), a Korea – Tanzania government partnership. KOTACO surveyed the farm, cleared the entire 5818 ha, and built 185 km of roads and approximately 290 km of drainage ditches. KOTACO farmed rice on approximately 2500 ha until 1993 when the Koreans left the project and handed over the farm equipment and infrastructure to RUBADA. From 1994 to 1999 the farm remained idle. Later in 1999 RUBADA contracted the farm to Kilombero Holding Company (KIHOCO) which never farmed more than 400 ha. KIHOCO fell 5 years behind in rent payments and was finally forced off the farm in August 2007. During the period of the farm’s idleness it attracted a gradual influx of subsistence squatters from different parts of Tanzania. It also attracted a high influx of livestock, especially from 2005 onwards. In December 2007, KPL began operations, re-clearing land and planting 641 ha of rice in early 2008. In September 2008 KPL completed the title transfer of Mngeta Farm. KPL is planting 3000 ha of rice in early 2009 and has targeted 5800 ha of rice in 2010. -
