An authoritative summary of Poverty Trends in Tanzania, the Poverty and Human Development Report 2005 has just been published. Key information on poverty levels and trends in Tanzania is provided, with comparisons to targets from the Millennium Development Goals, the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) and Mkukuta (National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty).
Information from various survey data has been collated and analysed in order to provide useful information on agriculture, health, education, vulnerable children, water and sanitation. Estimates of household income at the district level are included in this report – this is the first time such poverty mapping information has been published in Tanzania. There is also thematic analysis around rural growth and agriculture.
The Research and Analysis Technical Working Group prepared this report on behalf of the Government of Tanzania.
The report is available in electronic copy, or the printed report can be obtained from:
