Stratifying urban neighbourhoods by income
Mapping out geographic heterogeneities across urban neighbourhoods can inform urban planning and intervention targeting. Despite their subjectivity, intuitive participatory stratification approaches (PSAs) are becoming increasingly popular because of their affordability and practicality. In contrast, more objective statistical approaches, like latent profile analysis (LPA), typically require rich survey data and advanced capacities that are often…
Land Pattern of Highly Urbanizing Cities
Dar es Salaam is one of the most diverse cities in Tanzania in terms of its physical, social, economic, environmental and spatial features. This diversity has contributed to differences in built-up area, population density, as well as the pace of spatial development across different parts of the city. This study aims to examine the relationship between physical built-up area changes in Dar es Salaam, population density change and spatial developm…
City Profile
Cities in Africa are experiencing fast urbanization with growing demand for basic services. The city of Dar es Salam, one of the fastest growing cities in the region and the world, is likely to guide the urban future in Tanzania. Dar es Salaam is the former capital city of Tanzania and retains its importance as most of the government offices were located. However, the whole process of complete relocation of government offices to the present capit…
Mortality of neurological disorders in Tanzania
Background: Neurological disorders (ND) have a profound consequence on human productivity, quality of life and survival. There are limited data on the burden of ND in Tanzania due to insufficient coverage of civil and vital registration systems.Objectives: This study was conducted to estimate mortality of ND in all ages in Tanzania using data from the Sample Vital Registration with Verbal Autopsy (SAVVY) study.Methods: Multistage random sampling …
Urban Health in Tanzania
Tanzania's Countdown to 2015
BACKGROUND: Tanzania is on track to meet Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 4 for child survival, but is making insufficient progress for newborn survival and maternal health (MDG 5) and family planning. To understand this mixed progress and to identify priorities for the post-2015 era, Tanzania was selected as a Countdown to 2015 case study. METHODS: We analysed progress made in Tanzania between 1990 and 2014 in maternal, newborn, and child morta…
Antiretroviral treatment coverage in a rural district in Tanzania – a modeling study using empirical data
ART coverage in the Rufiji district is unevenly distributed and far from the universal coverage target of 80%, in particular among young men. The findings in 2010 are close to the most recent estimates of ART coverage in 2013. To strive for universal coverage, both the recruitment of new eligible individuals to pre-ART and ART and the successful retention of those already on ART in the program need to be prioritized
The Effects of Maternal Mortality on Infant and Child Survival in Rural Tanzania
Coming home to die? The association between migration and mortality in rural Tanzania before and after ART scale-up
BACKGROUND: Prior to the scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART), demographic surveillance cohort studies showed higher mortality among migrants than residents in many rural areas. OBJECTIVES: This study quantifies the overall and AIDS-specific mortality between migrants and residents prior to ART, during ART scale-up, and after widespread availability of ART in Rufiji district in Tanzania. DESIGN: In Health and Demographic Surveillance System (…
