Tanzania Online is a gateway to information on development issues in Tanzania. It is an initiative to address problems faced by Government officials, policy makers, private sector, civil society, donor community, researchers and academicians accessing information on development issues in Tanzania. Initial funding of the initiative was provided by the UN System (through a Swedish Grant) and the Tanzanian Government. ESRF was selected to implement it

The objective of Tanzania online is to provide an interactive facility for easy access to a comprehensive set of documents about development in Tanzania, analytic work about priorities in development and progress towards poverty reduction and other development targets.

Tanzania Online has improved access and exchange of information among and between key government institutions, the public, donor community, private sector, civil society, researchers and academicians. Tanzania Online database includes analytic documents concerning development in Tanzania, work about priorities in development, progress towards poverty reduction and other sector reform developments. 

Tanzania Online disseminates its information content in various ways in order to reach various targeted stakeholders. Including;

  • Via the Internet at www.tzonline.org, anyone from anywhere in the world with Internet connection can access and download information free.
  • Current Awareness list is e-mailed to subscribers every month

National forest programme: forestland tenure systems in Tanzania

december, 2000
Tanzania
Sub-Saharan Africa

This paper begins by exploring the history of tenure in Tanzania's forests. It states that, while the government has retained ownership of forests centrally; locally, people have used forest resources without restriction. This has led to the over exploitation of many forest resources and a lack of sense of ownership and responsibility among forest communities.The author states that the government plans to transfer management rights for forests while retaining tenure centrally, but that there is confusion over how this division of rights can occur legally.
