dc.description.abstractThe United Republic of Tanzania is a developing country in East Africa. It covers an area 945,000 square kilometers and has 1,424 kilometers of marine coastline on the eastern border. It has long land borders with Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique, and it bestrides a number of inland waters. The wide variation in altitude offers a range of climates, from the humid and hot tropical climates on the coast to the warm savanna grasslands, the warm highlands, the temperate mountains, and the alpine climate on the slopes of the high mountains such as Kilimanjaro. It has a population of 34.6 million people and a population density of 39 per square kilometer (Tanzanian Bureau of Statistics, 2002). The country has about 120 ethnic groups; a common language, Kiswahili, facilitates easy communication between people. There was a slow but steady increase in life expectancy at birth from 41.7 years in 1962 to a peak of 52 years in 1992, but this trend has been reversed over the past 10 years with a decline to a life expectancy of 48 years by 1998. The AIDS epidemic is one major factor associated with this decline (UNAIDS, 2000). Sustained per-capita income growth has been evident since 1995, with a steady increase from 0.6% per annum to an estimated 2.5% by 1999 (Bigsten & Danielson, 2001). Despite this overall increase, there are indications that income distribution has worsened over the years, and income has declined in absolute terms in the face of currency devaluation. It is estimated that 50% of the population live in poverty, most of them in rural areas (Mutalemwa, Noni, & Wangwe, 1998).en_US
