Abstract:

This report describes trends in the social sector and analyzes the factors that influence these trends, including the performance of the economy , government social sector spending and policy, household behavior and incomes, and demographic trends. The report is based on the Human Resources Development Survey of 1993/94, qualitative surveys, community case studies and other population based surveys. Findings from these surveys and case studies are synthesized to provide a comprehensive picture of the demand for and supply of education, health, water & sanitation, nutrition, and family planning services. Tanzania's social indicators remain among the poorest in the world. The report reviews these trends, presents issues, assesses past government policies in the social sectors, and has provided both the data and framework for the development and implementation of the Government's Social Sector Strategy.
