  1. PROGRESS TOWARDS THE SANITATION MDG’S IN TANZANIA Presented By; Dr. Aisha Omar Kigoda Deputy Minister for Health and Social Welfare Tanzania

  2. Millennium development goals • The Millennium Objectives pose as a big challenge to the majority of the developing countries, Tanzania included, for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). • The goals are indeed a challenge as they require national policy reforms to turn the global indicators into realistic national objectives. • Tanzania, however, took the MDGs as an opportunity hence translated them into achievable, specific, tangible indicators for achieving various development goals stipulated into the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) which is currently being implemented

  3. Introduction The strategy addresses sanitation targets as follows: • Increased access to improved sewerage facilities from 17% in 2003 to 30% in 2010 in urban areas; • 100% of schools to have adequate sanitary facilities by 2010; • 95% of people to have access to basic sanitation by 2010;

  4. Division of Primary Functions in the Sanitation Sector

  5. Sanitation status • Proportion of households with any form of latrine is 96.7% and 83.3% in urban and rural areas respectively and 12%. in nomadic communities, • Studies indicate that only 47.2%of the latrines are permanent and meet the attributes of an Improved /acceptable standard. • Out of 333,899 proper latrines required to cover government and non-government primary schools only 129,944 (39%) are available reflecting a shortage of 203,955 (61%).

  6. PHAST has been introduced in 74 districts, An evaluation done in 4 districts of Pemba island after 12 months of PHAST implementation revealed an increase of latrines from 22902 (2006) to 25443 (2007) an increase of 2541 (11%). COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

  7. Village health development programmes • This approach entails several public health interventions using the principles of Total Community Led Total Sanitation focussing on - provision of safe and clean water; improve levels of sanitation, hygiene and status of the dwelling houses • In one of the pilot villages- (Mkowe), an evaluation done in July 2007 after 12 months of implementation revealed an increase of better built latrines from 650 (2006) to 738 (2007) an increase of 88 latrine (13%) Also hygienic behaviour had improved evidenced by an increase in provision and use of rubbish pits for refuse disposal, and dish racks.

The objective of this competition is; to encourage communities to participate in the planning and implementation of Health and Sanitation and cleanliness activities in their respective areas, To encourage and stimulate local authorities to increase their budgets towards Environmental Health, hygiene and Sanitation, to raise sanitation coverage through improved service delivery National Health and Cleanliness Competition Campaign

  10. This competition has resulted in success in the following areas:- Increased ability to manage waste with improved storage, collection and disposal facilities, increased private sector participation in the provision of sanitation services especially solid and liquid waste management and public toilets, National Health and Cleanliness Competition Campaign Cleaning of sewage pond
