    Tanzania

    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

    This paper explains the major issues and
    lessons derived from the national forest management program
    and REDD+ initiatives in Tanzania. It finds that addressing
    the most important drivers of forest degradation and
    deforestation, in particular the country energy needs and
    landownership, is essential for success in reducing
    emissions regardless of the type of program implemented. It

    In 2006, the government approved a
    national livestock policy based on the premise that the

    a strong national economy and in the process, reducing
    inequalities among Tanzanians by increasing their incomes
    and employment opportunities. This report presents an
    analysis of rural livelihoods in Tanzania, with particular

    Although charcoal is the single most
    important energy source for millions of urban dwellers in
    Tanzania, being used by all tiers of society from laborers
    to politicians, it seems to be politically neglected and
    even unwanted, given that it is not considered as a possible
    mean to achieve long-term sustainable development, for
    example as a low-carbon growth option contributing to energy
    security, sustainable forest management, and poverty

    In the past decade, Tanzania has
    experienced high economic growth and it is in the global
    limelight as a recent success story in Africa. A variety of
    factors have contributed to this success, including
    liberalized policies and reforms, infusion of external
    capital from development partners and the private sector,
    debt cancellation, and a strong performance by emerging
    sectors such as mining, tourism, and fisheries. Its social

    During the 1970s and 1980s in Tanzania,
    there was a widespread perception, though a somewhat narrow,
    and inaccurate one, that high and accelerating rates of
    deforestation in some areas, was primarily being driven by
    demand for woodfuel, and construction timber. In order to
    take a more comprehensive, and strategic view of the sector,
    the government launched the Tanzania Forestry Action Plan,
    which covered the period 1990/91-2007/08. The Bank-assisted
