WITH VIVID EXAMPLES, DESCRIBE HOW POLITICS AND ENERGY
INFLUENCE THE GROWTH OF POPULATION, INDUSTRIALIZATION,
LIVELY HOOD IMPROVEMENT AND ECONOMIC SECTOR
DIVERSIFICATION.
•POLITICS AND ENERGY
POLITICS

• Is a set of activities that are associated with the making decision in groups or
other forms of power relation among individuals, such as distribution of
resources or status.
• , In Tanzania examples of politics includes migration and immigration polies,
energy supply polies that resulted to the formation of organ that supply
electricity in rural areas (REA)[review Electricity Act of 2008, TANZANIA
CONSTITUTION ] and other.
ENERGY
•Generated through difference sources, It can be generated through hydro energy,
wind, solar, and other sources of energy.
POLITICS AND ENERGY INFLUENCE TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN

• POPULATION GROWTH
• Politics and energy policies can significantly impact population growth. For instance, political

decisions regarding immigration policies can directly affect the size and composition of a society’s
population.
• Energy resources can influence population growth by enabling or constraining economic
development, which in turn affects birth rates, mortality rates, and migration patterns.
• Populations tend to increase in region with good supply of energy, regions in Tanzania such as Dar
es salaam, Mwanza and Arusha is well populated as impact on energy and politics.
POPULATION GRAWTH

• Population Growth In Mtwara Region, as case study in Tanzania due to the natural gas
that’s will turn to enough energy supply, The discovery of natural gas in Mtwara could
influence the population growth through varieties channels, economic opportunities
created by natural gas industry may attract people seeking employment leading
population influx
• Additionally, improved infrastructure and development associated with the industry
could enliance the overall quality of life encouraging people to settle in the region.
•
INDUSTRIALIZATION

• The relationship between politics, energy, and industrialization is intricate.

Political stability and government policies greatly influence the investment
climate for industries. Policies such as TANZANIA YA VIWANDA ,THE
SUSTAINABLEINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY FOR TANZANIA (SIDP 1996 TO
2020 [REVIEW Briefing Paper, Time for a New Sustainable Industrial Development
Policy in Tanzania By Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF), Tanzania,
Overview of Tanzania’s Sustainable Industrial Development Policy pg2)] and
other policies.
INDUSRIALIZATION

• Energy availability and affordability are critical factors in industrial development. For
example, countries with abundant and reliable energy sources are more likely to attract
industrial investments, leading to increased industrialization.
• For example in Tanzania industrialization led to the search of different sources of energy
to insure the supply of energy in industries is constant to influence production (led to
the discovery of natural gas in somanga fungu ,songosongo and mnazibay, also led to
the development of different Energy projects (Mwl Nyerere hydro-energy project)
 LIVELIHOOD IMPROVEMENT

• Political decisions on social welfare programs, healthcare policies, education

systems, and labor laws directly impact livelihood improvement.
• Energy availability is essential for enhancing livelihoods through improved
infrastructure, access to modern amenities, and economic opportunities. For
instance, reliable energy supply is crucial for running healthcare facilities,
schools, and businesses that contribute to livelihood improvement.
ECONOMIC SECTOR DIVERSIFICATION

• Energy policies also influence the diversification of the economy by

determining the availability of different types of energy sources that can
drive the development of various sectors such as renewable energy,
manufacturing, technology, and services.
•
ECONOMIC SECTOR DIVERSIFICATION

• For instance, in Saudi Arabia the government vision up to 2030 plans aims to reduce the
country dependence on oil export and diversify the economy. This plan includes focus on
developing new industries like tourism, technology and entertainment.
• Iran and Venezuela, lower oil price have rattled the economies and politics of producer states
that have come to depend on large export revenues to maintain stability at home and
support muscular foreign policies abroad.
