    The land management practices of pastoralist Maasai communities have a major bearing on landscapes and wildlife habitats in northern Tanzania. Pastoralists manage lands according to locally devised rules designed to manage and conserve key resources such as pastures and water sources. Dry season grazing reserves are an important part of traditional land management systems in many pastoralist communities, providing a ‘grass bank’ for livestock to consume during the long dry season when forage invariably becomes scarce and domestic animals are stressed for water and nutrients.

    Following this introductory chapter,
    chapter two continues with a general description of the
    regulatory, institutional, and policy environment for
    Renewable Energy (RE) in Tanzania. The chapter describes the
    main existing institutional arrangements in place and shows
    that the country's legal framework is conducive to
    private sector RE initiatives. Chapter three discusses the
    fundamentals of project finance, the basic components of

    This paper reports on a randomized field
    experiment that uses price incentives to address economic
    and gender inequality in land tenure formalization. During
    the 1990s and 2000s, nearly two dozen African countries
    proposed de jure land reforms extending access to formal,
    freehold land tenure to millions of poor households. Many of
    these reforms stalled. Titled land remains the de facto
    preserve of wealthy households and, within households, men.

    Declining soil fertility due to
    inadequate farming practices, deforestation and overgrazing
    are among the primary impediments to increased agricultural
    productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa. These causal factors,
    driven by social, economic and political forces, manifest
    themselves in market, policy and institutional failures,
    inappropriate technologies and practices. This is also the
    case in Tanzania where over 90 percent of the population is

    Africa has great potential for
    agriculture. Although international commodity prices have
    been buoyant, Africa’s supply response seems to be weak. A
    variety of constraints may exist. Using the case of
    Tanzania, the paper examines the impact of market
    connectivity, domestic and international, on farmers’ crop
    choices. It is shown that the international market
    connectivity, measured by transport costs to the maritime

    Tourism provides a robust stream of
    revenues for the country, with benefits that reverberate
    widely through the economy. The sector generates the bulk of
    exports for the country. As a relatively labor-intensive
    sector, tourism serves as a robust source of good quality
    jobs in the country, with the potential to alleviate
    poverty. This report explores the contribution, the
    potential, and the challenges that confront the sector. It

    Climate change is a core development
    challenge in Tanzania, and the potential costs of inaction
    are significant. Current climate variability (including
    extreme events such as droughts and floods), already leads
    to major economic costs in mainland Tanzania and in
    Zanzibar. Individual annual events have economic costs in
    excess of 1 percent of GDP, and occur regularly, reducing
    long-term growth and affecting millions of people and

    Since the early 2000s, Tanzania has seen
    remarkable economic growth and strong resilience to external
    shocks. Yet these achievements were overshadowed by the slow
    response of poverty to the growing economy. Until 2007, the
    poverty rate in Tanzania remained stagnant at around 34
    percent despite a robust growth at an annualized rate of
    approximately 7 percent. This apparent disconnect between
    growth and poverty reduction has raised concerns among
