Rural vs Urban Disparities in Tanzania
- 1. RURAL AND URBAN TANZANIA Vs. 80% of the population 20% of the population
- 3. DISPARITIES IN HEALTH Health statistics 2003 - Summary of key statistics Indicator of Health Rural Ave. Urban Ave. Access to health services 72% 99% Infant mortality rate 115/1000 45/1000 Access to safe water 56% 96% Access to adequate 62% 78% sanitation HIV and AIDS is one of Tanzania’s biggest health concern at present – estimated at 8% of population. A wall painting educating about HIV/AIDS.
- 17. RURAL / URBAN EMPLOYMENT What jobs do you think will earn the larger, more reliable income? Why? Local fisherman drying his fish for market. Owner of a Stationary Shop in Dar Es Salaam. Brewery factory in Dar Es Salaam employs large numbers of workers. Coffee plantation – a common crop in rural areas.
- 19. In just an image can we see the difference between rural and Urban? just look for yourself… A group of children in Dar Es Salaam. A group of children in Chankele Village – Kigoma Region. What are the differences in these 2 photos – and therefore in these children's lives?
Notes de l'éditeur
- Rural and Urban disparities are the largest and most obvious. They are the focus for NGO’s trying to improve the standard of living in isolated villages.
- Kigoma is located along Lake Tanganyika – the region is the poorest in Tanzania, the most isolated and has the burden of looking after 1 million refugees from Burundi, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo. Dar Es Salaam (Dar for short) was the old capital city of Tanzania (capital moved to Dodoma for the same reasons as Wellington – geographically more central). Colonial capital and most developed region in the country.
- Health is of great concern in Tanzania. Aids in rural areas is becoming more of a problem.
- Bubungo is a small village in the Kigoma Region. There are 5000 members of the village and all of them must use this facility. Unfortunately there is no doctor in the village – they come once or twice a month. There is a trained nurse who works in this building, but she works Monday – Friday only and if someone needs medical attention on the weekend, they must find her somewhere in the village. Both days I visited the dispensary there was no one available.
- Aga Khan hospital has won awards in Tanzania for it’s health services. This hospital provides all the services of a basic hospital in USA. But, this hospital is costly and only the most wealthy residents in Tanzania can afford this type of health care.
- Roads in very poor condition. Young boys seen repairing them with spades – hoping for a few cents for their trouble for drivers. This means they are not at school.
- Roads in CBD and main routes are in excellent condition – all sealed and regularly repaired. In many suburbs however, roads still dirt or gravel, in fairly poor condition.
- Cell phones were hardly seen in 1997, in 2004 a huge % of the rural population have them – Probably half a million by the end of 2004. They are popular amongst city dwellers with some disposable income. Cell towers are popping up every where. Govt sees this as the way people in Tanzania will communicate – now little is being invested into land lines.
- The NBC housing is mostly home to wealthier Asian Africans (Indians and Pakistanis) who own businesses and can afford the higher rents. These houses have all the amenities and are similar to western standards.
- Possible to discuss here – types of employment – primary, secondary and tertiary and even quaternary.
- This is a nice final image – you could get students to write down words used to describe the children in each photo – discuss clothing, hair styles, and overall lifestyles that they 2 groups of children would have.
- Discuss push and pull factors and the issues that might be created when rural people begin migrating to urban areas in large numbers… this type of migration has only just started.
