    Tanzania is coastal country of Eastern Africa endowed with important land and water resources that has a high agricultural potential. Agriculture is a key sector of Tanzania’s economy, as it accounts for 45% of GDP and is the source of livelihood for more than three-quarters of the population. The majority of the population is still rural although urbanization increased in the last three decades to reach 38%. Currently the rate of urbanization is slowing down. The population is very young, as 43 % of Tanzanians are below 15 years of age. Life expectancy, now 46 years on average, has decreased in the past 20 years, probably due to increasing HIV/AIDS prevalence, which affects around 7% of the adult population.

    Also available in:

    The Office of the Chief Statistician (OCS) conducted the Statistical Capacity Assessment for the FAO-relevant SDG indicators in early 2019 to provide insights about member countries' national statistical systems in regard to their capacity to monitor and report the 21 SDG indicators under FAO custodianship. The survey collected information on the national coordination mechanisms for the SDG reporting, current data availability and plans for filling data gaps, and needs for technical assistance. The respondents were mainly the National Coordinators for SDG Monitoring or the SDG focal points nominated by the Directors General of National Statistics Offices. The results will assist FAO-HQ and decentralized offices in designing targeted interventions and mobilizing resources to support countries in collecting, analyzing and using the SDG indicators in decision-making.
