DEVELOPMENT OF POVERTY ENVIRONMENT INDICATOR TANZANIAN EXPERIENCE BY: BLANDINA M. CHECHE POVERTY ENVIRONMENT

1. DEVELOPMENT OF POVERTY � ENVIRONMENT INDICATOR TANZANIAN EXPERIENCE BY: BLANDINA M. CHECHE POVERTY � ENVIRONMENT OFFICER: VPO 

2. OUTLINE Background to the development of the p-e indicators Objectives Steps Selected indicators challenges

3. Background Crosscutting issues lacked in PRS 1 MKUKUTA mainstreams cross-cutting issues such as environment Five year framework Increased attention to outcomes rather than priority sectors Demands cross-sectoral collaboration

4. Background�. Development and review of the existing indicators was necessary to monitor crosscutting indicators which were lacking in PRSP

5. Objectives & issuesIndicators, data quality/availability analyze the MKUKUTA matrix to establish clear link between goals, indicators, operational targets and policy actions. design the revised PMS to ensure it monitors the cross-cutting issues. revisit current set of indicators and identify gaps in target setting in the MKUKUTA. improve data availability, quality and determine how to improve the routine data systems, strengthen surveys and use of participatory approaches.

6. P-E Indicator Study VPO and UNDP through P-E programme contracted consultants (ERM and IRA) to undertake the study in May 2004. Overall objectives of the study was to develop set of indicators linking poverty and environment in Tanzania that can be used to understand poverty-environment interactions and to monitor poverty reduction that results from environmental changes.

7. Specific Objectives of the study were: To assess and determine the different use of p-e indicators from local to national levels To identify existing data collection systems and surveys producing or with the potential to provide p-e indicators To build national capacity on development and use of p-e indicators.

8. Consultation Step 1 Planning workshop with stakeholders � 27th May 2004 Stakeholder interviews by consultants Aug to Oct 2004. Initial report reviewed during stakeholders workshop 29-30 Nov. 2004 - key points observed were: MKUKUTA was ready and the study to use its three clusters in framework. Focus be on poverty indicators not environmental indicators.

9. Consultation Step 2 The draft final report was presented and reviewed by VPO technical staff in Feb 2005: The study was behind schedule There was still need for more consultation with all stakeholders. Indicators should reflect the p-e linkage to enables effective monitoring of the change. Need for the study to be clear on use and purpose of indicators.

10. Consultation Step 3 2 days Stakeholders workshop undertaken in February to review the draft final report. The workshop developed the Framework and work plan for further consultation on data sources and availability. The consultants visited stakeholders to fill information gaps identified during the meeting Final report was submitted to VPO and the stakeholders workshop was convened to review it.

11. Clarification on P-E Linkages PE- Linkages are dimensions of poverty that concern the environmental part of poor peoples lives. They include: Opportunities (or lack of them) for economic advancement Social empowerment (or disempowerment) Political empowerment (or disempowerment)

12. Approach and Methodology Consultation with a wide range of stakeholders and literature review Alignment of data bases and existing indicators with a framework developed Design a framework for P-E indicators based on the revised MKUKUTA and its targets and implementation strategies

13. Methodology � Identification of an initial list of options for indicators Presentation of reports at various workshops Selection of key P-E indicators Presentation of final report to VPO

14. Proposed core set of p-e indicators by the consultants; 1. Proportion of EIAs / SEAs which NEMC judges to have successfully resulted in avoided or mitigated negative impacts (Cluster I / Goal 2) 2. The percentage of household income in rural areas derived from the sustainable processing and marketing of natural resource products (Cluster I / Goal 4) 3. The percentage of households able to fetch clean and safe water in under 30 minutes (go, collect, return) from a protected source (Cluster II / Goal 3A) 4. Percentage of households with access to basic sanitation facilities (Cluster II / Goal 3B) 5. Percentage of clean water bodies � based on the Tanzania temporary water standards of 1974 (Cluster II / Goal 3C) 6. Percentage of population living in areas of high risk of environmental disaster (flood, landslides, droughts, food shortages) (Cluster II / Goal 3E

15. Proposed core set (cont..) 7. Percentage of households in rural and urban areas using alternative sources of energy to woodfuel, for cooking (Cluster II / Goal 4D) 8. Land area used for NR management that is subject to tenure security (Cluster III / Goal 1) 9. Number of Ministries and Districts establishing effective environmental units (Cluster III / Goal 2) 10. Mechanisms for participatory decision-making established and functioning at all levels (Cluster III / Goal 3)� 11. Proportion of poor and vulnerable households with legally-enshrined land titles (Cluster III / Goal 4)

16. Sectoral indicators n��For all MKUKUTA targets, there is huge potential for indicators. n��� These would be included in PMS but they are useful for monitoring of sector strategies and how these contribute to sector outcomes included in MKUKUTA. Core P-E Indicators n���� Selection of a core set of indicators. The intention is to have one indicator for each MKUKUTA goal relevant to P-E linkages. n���� The remaining indicators plus the sectoral indicators are available for monitoring the Medium Term Expenditure Framework or other sectoral monitoring and evaluation according to guidelines set out in the PMS.

17. P_E indicators accepted in the MMS CLUSTER 1: GROWTH AND REDUCTION OF POVERTY Goal 2: Promoting sustainable and broad-based growth Proportion of enterprises undertaking Environmental Impact Assessments complying to Environmental regulations. Goal 4&5: Reducing income poverty of both men and women in rural and urban areas % of households whose main income is derived from the harvesting, processing and marketing of natural resources products. Goal 6: Provision of reliable and affordable energy to consumers % of house holds in rural and urban areas using alternative sources of energy to wood fuel (including charcoal) as their main source of energy for cooking

18. CLUSTER 2: IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND SOCIAL WELLBEING Goal 3: Increased access to clean, affordable and safe water, sanitation, decent shelter and a safe and sustainable environment Population with access to piped or protected water as their main drinking water source (30 minutes go, collect, return to be taken into consideration) % of Households with basic sanitation facilities % of schools having adequate sanitation facilities (as per policy) Number of reported cholera cases Total area managed by mandated local institutions for the purpose of community based natural resources management

19. CLUSTER 3: GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY Goal 1: Structure and systems of governance as well as the rule of law are democratic, participatory, representative, accountable and inclusive % of female from small holder households with land ownership or customary land rights Total value of revenue received from concessions and licenses for Natural Resources (forestry, fishing, wildlife, mining)

20. Current Status 10 indicators monitored through MMS P-E indicators gaps still prevail PEI second phase to work closely with NBS through existing survey to capture P-E indicators (HBS, Agriculture) To build capacity of sectors and NBS to collect, analyse and report on P-E data

21. Challenges How do we build capacity for data collection and analysis at Sector and LGAs M&E systems How do we establish baseline data where it is missing How do we coordinate data collection for compound indicators How do we strengthen the link btwn MMS and sectors reporting system

22. Challenges cont� Weak data collection systems. Need for indicators to be used in district planning. Limited involvement with key stakeholders e.g. LGA How to ensure sustainable practices prevail
