Housing

Between 2000 and 2010, the share of the

population living in urban areas increased
from around 22% to around 26% - meaning
a decrease of the share of rural population
from around 78% to 74%.

Tanzania is facing a growing urban housing

shortage, fuelled by the increasing rural-urban
migration trend. In 1995, it was estimated that
about 70% of the urban population was living in
temporary shelters of squatter/slum areas.
There is no significant improvement to date.

Around 90% of the total energy consumption

in Tanzania comes from biomass fuel.
More than 80% of the energy derived from
biomass (mainly charcoal and firewood) is
consumed in rural areas.
There have been few private sector projects
aimed at bio fuel production.

Solar and wind energy account for less than

1% of total energy production in Tanzania.
Solar energy has been exploited at a very
limited scale due to the lack of awareness and
availability of solar energy equipment.
Other renewable sources (like wind and
geothermal energy) have not yet been utilized
on any significant scale due to limited knowhow of technology and lack of finance.

Mount Kilimanjaro National Park is a clear example of

how well-managed natural resources can generate
benefits to the local community.
Apart from the economic benefits brought by tourism, the
region has some of the highest school enrolments
(100%), life expectancies (59 years), and adult literacy
rates (85%) in Tanzania.
In the coming years, continued balancing of economic
productivity and environmental sustainability will be the
goal of residents and visitors alike.
