Uvinza District Council is one of the newly established councils in Tanzania. It was gazzetted in September 2011 and officially started its activities in July 2013. In the first four years of its existence, the Council had no official plan which was systematically prepared under its mandate. It is my pleasure to acknowledge that this Strategic Plan for 2017/2018 - 2021/2022, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Act Number 9 of 1982 which requires Local Government Authorities (LGA’s) to prepare five years Strategic Plans to be used as guidelines during preparation of Medium Term Plan and Budget Expenditure Framework (MTEF). The Plan identifies priorities of service delivery and normal routine of annual reviews conducted by communities.
This Plan aims at fulfilling the District Council’s Vision of being “a competitive council with quality and sufficient socio-economic services to the community”. It emphasizes the improvement of services delivery to the communities of Uvinza District through effective and efficient use of resources. The Council will utilize her own resources and the support from Central Government and other development partners to implement development projects in all sectors. Implementation of these projects is expected to produce services that improve and increase socio-economic development of the communities. The Plan elaborates a number of key issues ranging from situation analysis of the District, vision statement and mission. It also defines organization objectives, targets and strategies that will enable attainment of the desired vision of the Council.
The Council would like to thank all those who have made the preparation of this Strategic Plan possible. Special appreciations go to the following; Hon……………… Member of Parliament for Uvinza District, Hon …………………., the District Commissioner for Uvinza District, Councilors, Ward and Village Executive Officers, Division Secretaries, leaders of various political parties, religious leaders, as well as civil society organizations. The Council extends acknowledgement to all Council technical staff led by Planning Monitoring and Statistics Department for their commitment and contribution to the successful completion of this task.
Last but not least, I extend my acknowledgement to the Central Government of Tanzania for the financial support. It is my sincere hope that this 2017/2018 - 2021/2022 Strategic Plan will inspire stakeholders and bring considerable achievements socially, economically and politically in our District.
Hon. (Councilor)
District Council Chairman
This is the first Strategic Plan for Uvinza District Council since its establishment in 2011. The previous strategic plan was customized from the then Kigoma District Council in 2013 following its split into Kigoma and Uvinza district councils. This new Strategic Plan covers the period between 2017/2018 and 2021/2022. The Plan is designed to enable the Council realize its Vision of being among “a competitive council with quality and sufficient socio-economic services to the community”. It is my expectation that the realization of this Vision will ultimately contribute to the achievement of the Tanzania Development Vision 2025 of transforming the economy into a middle income and semi-industrialized state by 2025. This is expected to be realized through the achievement of the following strategic objectives as envisaged in this Plan:
To achieve these Strategic Objectives, concerted efforts are needed from both Council’s Staff, Community members and other Development Stakeholders. Let me take this opportunity to request all concerned parties to do their best to support the realization our Vision.
District Executive Director
Under Article 148 of Local Government District Authorities Act of 1982, all Local Government Authorities; including Uvinza, are mandated to play three main functions, these are: maintenance of law, order, and good governance; promotion of economic and social welfare of the people in their areas of jurisdiction and, ensuring effective and equitable delivery of qualitative and quantitative services to the people within their areas of jurisdiction.
Apart from the three main functions, the Local Government Authorities Act, of 1982, stipulates that, all local governments are charged with other functions and duties as follows:
Uvinza District lies between latitudes …………………… South and longitudes …………………………… East of Greenwich Meridian. Its altitude stretches between 900 and 1,000 meters above sea level. The District headquarters is Lugufu, which is located 80 kilometers from Kigoma Town. The District borders with Democratic Republic of Congo on western side within Lake Tanganyika; Kaliua District (Tabora Region) in the East; Kasulu and Kigoma Districts in the North; and Katavi region on the southern side.
Figure 1: Location of Uvinza District
Administratively, Uvinza District Council has three divisions, namely; Uvinza, ………………….. These Divisions are divided into 16 Wards, 61 villages and 328 vitongoji .as shown in Table1.

According to 2012 Population and Housing census, the population of Uvinza District was 351,990; out of which 173,635 were males and 178,355 were females. Currently (2017), it is estimated that the District has a total of 413,940 people. The average household size is 5.6 persons, with population growth rate of 4.1% per annum.
.
Uvinza District Council has three main ecological zones, namely northern highlands, Southern highlands and, the flat lake zone.
1.2.7.1 Southern Highland Zone
This zone rises from 1500 to 2500 meters above sea level. Because of its altitude, the zone is locally known as ‘Lubalisi highland’. The zone is characterized by cold weather with high rainfall of about 1500 to 2500 mm annually, and begins to fall in mid October through May. The dry spell is only two weeks duration between January/February, and the zone has only one village namely Lubalisi. The zone is characterized by sand clay acidic soils which are deficient of phosphorus and nitrogen. The main crops grown in this zone include cassava, bananas, tobacco, maize, Irish potatoes, pigeon peas and various fruits suited to cold conditions.
1.2.7.2 Central Zone
This zone lies between Northern Highlands and Miombo forests and is narrower than other zones. The zone stretches from 1500 m to 2500 m above sea level and receives rainfall of between 1200 and1500 mm which falls from October to May. The soils in this zone are acidic, particularly in slopes of Kandaga, Uvinza, Nguruka, kaseke, Luchugi and Nyanganga wards. Crops grown include maize, beans, cassava, peas, pineapples and oil palm.
1.2.7.3 Lake Zone
This zone covers the areas along Lake Tanganyika from Mwakizega to Kalya wards; rivers Maragalasi, Lugufu, Mkonkwa, Lagosa and Kampisa in Uvinza District. The zone rises between 800m - 1200m above sea level. Temperatures are generally high since it falls within the rift valley. Rainfall is between 1000mm and 1400mm; and its soils are mostly sandy clay soils which are relatively less fertile. The zone also covers the famous Mahale National Park which is rich in gorillas. Crops grown include oil palms, cassavas, beans and vegetables
Strategic planning is a process intended to assist an organization to identify and maintain an optimal alignment with the most important elements in its business and operating environment. Such operating environment consists of political, social, economic, technological, and climatic conditions. An organization failing to develop or review its strategic plan, more often than not, reduces its capacity to cope with its operating environment. In recognition of this fact, the preparation of this 2017/18-2021/2022 Strategic Plan is justified.
This Plan has been prepared after a review of the previous customization of the former Kigoma District Council plan, by taking stock of the achievements and constraints. Based on the previous implementation experience, the plan identifies the District’s capacity to deal with emerging issues in its business environment for the next five years. The Plan is in line with the second Five Years National Development Plan of 2016/2017–2020/2021. This plan embraces optimal use of the limited resources while exploiting the emerging development opportunities to realize the vision of the District.
The preparation of this Strategic Plan was largely done in a participatory manner. It started with capacity building sessions to thirteen Heads of Departments and six Heads of Units, who formed a District Planning Team. The sessions were intended to help the District Planning Team to gain common understanding in various strategic planning concepts and tools; in order to make it easy for them to practically develop a useful strategic plan. During the sessions, the Planning Team was introduced to various concepts and tools that enabled them generate information needed for the preparation of this Strategic Plan.
The capacity building sessions were carried out as planning workshops, which were used to generate data through rapid assessment methodology. These workshops took five days, whereas at the end of each day participants were asked to provide a certain output based on the concepts and tools they had learnt. At the end of the fifth day, the Planning Team managed to generate all the information needed for writing the Plan.
After the planning workshops, the workshop facilitators were given opportunity to write a draft plan to be shared among heads of units and departments for review and validation. The heads of units and departments provided their comments in one-week time, whereas the facilitators incorporated and produce second draft. The second draft was presented in a one day workshop with District - wide stakeholders, ranging from Councilors, Ward Executives, Other Government Entities in the District, Faith Based Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations to Private sector. Thereafter, the draft was improved, circulated and presented to the respective Council’s Committee and to the Full Council for comments and approval.
This document is organized into five chapters. Chapter one is on the background information which gives a brief profile of the District and outlines the process through which this Strategic Plan was prepared. Situation analysis has been presented in chapter two. It covers the detailed analysis of internal and external environments in which the District Council undertakes its business. Chapter three provides a review of the implementation of the previous strategic plan, while chapter four presents the Plan - in which the Council’s vision, mission, core values, strategic objectives, targets, strategies and performance indicators for each target are presented. The last chapter describes the plan implementation, monitoring, evaluation, review framework and assumptions.
This part provides status of each of the 13 departments and six units of the Uvinza District Council (hereafter called service areas). Information from this section has been used as input for revising the Vision and Mission statements of the Council. In addition, the information was useful during the development of core values, setting targets and formulating strategies. Details of the baseline information including core functions of each service area are given in the following sub-sections.
Personnel and Administration is one of the 13 departments in Uvinza District Council. The Department performs the role of managing human resources at council level. The core functions of this Department are to: recruitment, confirm, and promote competent staff; plan, supervise and monitor staff training program which is coordinated by the unit of good governance; coordinate staff performance and appraisal through Open Performance Review and Appraisal System (OPRAS); coordinate preparations of quarterly and annual capacity building plan and implementation report; evaluate training program; prepare annual personnel emoluments; prepare quarterly training program; prepare annual staff establishment and, monitor staff ethics and good conduct. The current position of District staff against total staff requirements in various departments and units is shown in Table 2.

Current implementation status of activities in the Department of Personnel and Administration
The core business of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Cooperatives Department is to: provide extension services, promote and support crops’ production; promote and support irrigation and mechanization; and promote cooperatives. As the name of the Department suggests, the Department is divided into three units, namely: Agriculture, Irrigation, and Cooperatives. The functions of these Units are as follows:
Agriculture unit is responsible for providing training to farmers in Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and improved technology, collecting and analyzing agricultural data, advising farmers on GAP, encouraging adoption of good agricultural practices for farmers through Farmer Field School (FFS) and demonstration plots, plant protection through the use of pesticides and good crop husbandry, promoting crop productivity through the correct use of inputs, construct market infrastructures for crop produce to ensure the crop produce quality and standard control, promoting post harvest handling techniques and improved storage technologies, ensuring food security and nutrition at household level and District in general.
The irrigation and mechanization unit deals with the use of improved agriculture implements, construction of irrigation infrastructures, farm structures and maintenances, surveying and land use planning, it also deals with promoting production of horticultural crops.
Cooperatives unit is responsible for registering newly formed cooperatives, awareness creation and sensitization, providing trainings on cooperative principles, ethics and values, inspection and auditing of Cooperative societies’ activities adherence to cooperatives Act No. 6 of 2013, regulations and the policy governing their operation. The Department has a total of 23 staffs out of 89 staffs needed in the District. There is, therefore, a shortage of 66 staffs. The staffs at the Headquarters are also not adequately equipped with requisite working facilities particularly transport. The Department has no car out of three which are needed; and it has provided only 12 motor bikes to extension officers out of 80 which are needed to run the activities of the Department. There are also acute shortages in laptops, Extension kits, overcoats; gum boots; GPS; and tape measures.
The situation of agriculture, irrigation, and cooperatives in the District
Agriculture
Agriculture is the major economic activity in Uvinza District, with subsistence farming being the dominant. A significant number of people in the District use poor crop husbandry practices and farming methods such as hand hoe, while very few use improved tools like tractors for cultivation, with their limited use for planting and weeding. Most of the farmers can not follow the basic principles of agricultural production because more than 60% of villages in Uvinza District lack village extension officers (VAEOs) and this leads to low agricultural productivity.
The total arable land for agriculture in the District is 444,633 ha, but only 185,302 ha are being cultivated. The District has established four centers where people can hire tractors. There are only five (5) tractors in total for the whole District which can be hired by the farmers as indicated in Table 4.

Agricultural Production
This section is mainly dealing with promotion of recommended husbandry practices for both cash and food crops through extension services delivery, agro-mechanization and availability and proper use of agro inputs. The aim is to increase production and productivity in order to enhance food security and generate income to farmers. Among the food crops grown in the District include maize, rice, bananas, yams, cassava, Magimbi, beans, peas, bambara nuts, groundnuts, sesame, and sunflower. Cash crops are rice,, oil palm, tobacco and coffee. Crop production has been increasing due to various efforts done by the department. During 2016/2017growing season, production levels for various food and cash crops were as shown in Table 4.

Markets for Agricultural Products
a) Tobacco
Price of tobacco has steadily increased depending on its quality. Farmers are encouraged to observe proper tobacco management right from the field during harvesting, processing packaging, loading and unloading at the market. A kilogram of grade 1 costs 3500/=
Market for palm oil is relatively more available as compared to other crops such as maize, cassava and beans. Palm oil is therefore an important source of income to farmers. A litre of palm oil fetches between 1500/= and 2000/= .
The market for rice in Uvinza District Council is big and reliable, especially in Kalya, Buhingu,Igalula, Sunuka, Itebula, Mganza and Nguruka wards where rice is sold locally and out of the District as far as to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi and Rwanda. A 100kg bag of unprocessed rice fetches from 35,000/= to 60,000/=.
Agricultural Inputs in the District
Uvinza District receives agricultural inputs from Central Government. While this has almost been the only source of input supply to the poor farmers, the amount of these subsidized inputs covers one acre only for each farmer. This is far below their requirements. Other challenges include cheating during distribution as well as Farmers’ inability to contribute for down payment.
Irrigation unit
This unit deals with the development of irrigation infrastructure, organizing farmers (water users) to get the water rights before they start irrigation. Also it explores the potential irrigation valleys in the district.
Uvinza District has a high potential area for irrigation, which can lead to a high and sustainable development of agriculture. Flow of permanent rivers in the district can easily make gravitational irrigation. There are about 17,920 Ha which are potential for irrigation of which, only 1,900 Ha (10.6%) are being irrigated through traditional schemes. The district is constructing two irrigation schemes namely Kashagulu and Mgambazi Irrigation schemes with a total of 403 Ha to be irrigated which is only 23 % of the potential irrigable land in the two schemes. Two more schemes which were under construction had were halted due to financial difficulties as summarized Table 6. The Council needs to tap this potential for sustainable agriculture in the District.

Major Issues to be addressed by the Department
Agriculture is faced by several problems which need to be addressed in the coming five years to enable the District move forward. These include:
Low investment in agriculture caused by limited funds for long term financing
Shortage of improved planting materials and high post harvesting losses. The district does not have reliable stockiest as well as infrastructure.
Unreliable markets for crops, especially non- traditional crops such as red palm oil, maize, beans and paddy.
Inadequate extension services (Shortage of staff, extension kits and transport facilities) and lack of regular training for both staff and farmers.
Poor crop husbandry practices since more than 60% villages do not have village extension officers (VAEOs).
Low and declining soil fertility (nutrients mining) due to inadequate use of fertilizers and thus low crop production.
Inadequate use of agriculture technologies such as draught animals, farm machinery and, improved seeds.
Poor communication and transport due to poor road networks in areas with high agricultural production (Lake Zone).
Undeveloped agricultural irrigation farming (no improved irrigation schemes) despite the high potential for gravity irrigation.
The department is divided into two main Sections which are Land and Natural Resources, while each section has subsections with specific and unique functions as compared to others. There are 5 subsections of Land, and 3 subsections of Natural Resources: Land, Town Planning, Surveying, Valuation, Cartography, Forest, Wildlife and Beekeeping. The current staffing situation in the Land and Natural Resources is as depicted in Table 10.

2.1.3.2 The Land Unit
Uvinza District Council is the biggest producer of table salts. Researches have also revealed availability of various mineral deposits of Copper, Nickel, Platinum, Galena, Palladium and many more which are yet to be exploited.
There are 60 associations of beekeepers with a total membership of 1,590 (1,100 men and 490 women). From these associations, the Council has managed to facilitate establishment of three SACCOS of beekers namely Kazaraho – in Uvinza ward, Mfugezi – in Nguruka ward and Mwakila – in Ilagala ward. In collaboration with BSPK - the project dealing with improvement of beekeeping products under the financial support of the Belgian Technical Cooperation (BTC) the Council has facilitated the construction of three buildings to be used in processing and packaging of bee products in Nguruka, Uvinza and Ilagala wards.
Beekeeping
The District has one National Park called Mahale Mountain National Park as it under Tanzania National Park Authority and one Game controlled area called Luganzo. Also the District is bordered with Moyovosi – Kigosi Game reserve under Director of Wildlife in the Northern part. These provide venue for developing tourist attractions and tourist/local hunting activities.
Wild life: Separately from these forest reserves, Uvinza District is dominated with large Open area (Uvinza Open Area), Wetland area (Malagarasi - Moyovosi Ramsar site) and Game Controlled area ( Luganzo Game Controlled Area) found in Uvinza and Nguruka Divisions. Also is covered by large Lakes such as Lake Tanganyika (8,029km2), Lake Sagara and Nyamagoma in Nguruka Division; and perennial Rivers likes River Malagarasi, Ugalla and Lugufu. All these physical features make Uvinza District to be one of Mega biodiversity district in our Country. It is the district which posses’ large number of endangered wild animals likes Chimpanzee, Elephant and other Insects and birds.
In the afforestation programme 1,246,675 trees were planted in 2016/2017 by communities (JKT, Primary and Secondary Schools, NGOs, CBOs, KTU – Tobacco , and individuals). In addition, every village in the district has set aside a forest development

Table 12: Water Infrastructure Situation in Uvinza District Council
Aquaculture is a substitute for over fishing in the Lake, and hence, it needs to be fully practiced. Nevertheless, fishing in Lake Tanganyika is still under-capacity as only 50% is utilized. Modern gears that are friendly to environment should be applied in line with fish processing facilities. Functions of Livestock and Fisheries Department are:
Uvinza District is also famous for the production of aquarium fish for export to European countries and elsewhere in the world markets. It produces about 10 tons (only?) per annum. There are only 2 Companies dealing with this kind of fishing (Name of the companies). The District is also potential for fish culture practices in the northern highlands in small scale level. This is due to their beliefs that fish culture cannot be commercialized; a fact calling for intensified efforts to raise awareness and encourage people to practice it at commercial scale as a complement to fish protein in remote areas.
According to 2011 Fisheries Frame survey, there are 8,096 full and part-time Artisan fishers using over 4,093 built canoes. Fish catches in 2015 was 66,195 tons, which fetched a total amount of Tshs. 64,722,337,301/=. There are different types of fishing vessels in Uvinza District such as 188 lift nets (Kipe), 94 ring nets,186 long line (Kawamba), 279 hand and line (Kachinga) and, 293 gillnet (Makila). The species abundantly caught are Sardines/Dagaa (Stolothrissa tanganyicae), Lates /Migebuka (Lates stappersii) and Kuhe (Boulengechromis microlepis).
Fishing industry plays an important role in the economy of the District. Fishing activities are mainly carried out in Lake Tanganyika and Small Water bodies of Lake Sagara, Nyamagoma, River Malagarasi, River Ugalla and River Luguvu and, Kandaga ponds.
Livestock services currently available in the district include 16 Cattle dips of which only 9 are working, 3 livestock markets, 2 Slaughter slabs, 1 veterinary centre (not working) and 1 holding ground centre at Uvinza. Currently, 167,355 cattle are dipped while 242,950 cattle are sprayed per month, where as that of 953 goats and 485 sheep are treated per month. in this case diseases like Anaplasmosis, Babesios, ECF , CBPP, CPBP, Lumpy skin Disease (LSD), Brucelosis, Rabies, FMD, Newcastle disease are currently disease of economic importance affecting farmers in the district. Generally, production and productivity of livestock in the district is still very low.
Uvinza district council is endowed with good natural resources which includes availability of good pasture land and water. Availability of natural food and water for livestock have attracted migration of pastoralists from the Lake Zone Regions that the district is now facing livestock overpopulation, invasion of protected area (water sources, forest) and reported cases of conflict between livestock keepers and other land users especially in rural areas. The district has a variety of livestock which includes cattle, goats, sheep, chicken and pigs as indicated in Table 13. Uvinza District is estimated to have 568,367 livestock of which 190,732 are Cattle, 78,483 are goats, 19,825 are sheep, 631 are pigs, 278,540 are poultry, while donkeys are156. Despite the existence of different varieties of livestock, the demand for its products (milk, meat) remains above its supply due to shifting mode of production by the farmers searching for lucrative pastoral areas.

Table 14: Staffing Situation in the Health Department in Uvinza District
The Council faces acute shortage of Health Staff. The current staffing level of Health Department is summarized in Table `14
b) Preventive services which include occupational health safety, food safety, institutions and premises inspections, solid and liquid waste management and chain management (Vaccines).
a) Curative Services The main functions of curative services section include diagnosis and treatment of communicable and non communicable diseases including laboratory tests, X-rays and HIV counseling. The section provides services for both inpatients and outpatients.
The Department is divided into two main sections:
The Department strives to ensure a health society by providing preventive, curative, rehabilitative, promotive and palliative services. There are 5 health centers all owned by the Government and 36 dispensaries out of which 33 are owned by government and 3 are owned by private institutions.
Insufficient funds to implement environmental protection, conservation and cleanliness activities,
Destruction of forests due to improper agricultural practices, bush fire, tree cutting for charcoal and timber.
Inadequate working tools and equipments such as solid wastes collection and disposal vehicles
Inadequate number of staff
Major Challenges/ Issues of Concern in the Department
Before establishment of this new department there was one solid waste collection point in Uvinza Village, there were no solid waste collection systems in place, there were no areas for district damping of both solid and waste water treatment sites, community awareness on environmental conservation and cleanliness was low, and many other activities aimed to address illegal mining, forest burning, and deforestation were not carried out systematically.
In terms of environmental conservation, the council has managed to facilitate planting of more than 1,400,000 trees in various areas in the District to fight climate change. Awareness raising on environmental conservation and protection in the community has been achieved in collaboration with other environmental stakeholders such as Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), Frankfurt Zoology, Tongwe Trust, TUUNGANE, Gombe and Mahale National Parks. Strict supervision and follow up on environmental sanitation and conservation issues, and efforts to prevent illegal mining and, water, land and air pollution in the district have been stepped up.
The Department of Cleanliness and Environment has introduced solid waste collection efforts through community initiatives, construction of solid wastes collection points, identification of district dumping area of 32 ha at Uvinza, and establishment of two hectares waste water treatment area (sewage lagoons).
Uncollected solid wastes in many parts of sub-urban areas and crude dumping methods of about 95% of wastes threatens health and well being of the people. Uvinza District produces 7,393 tons of solid wastes per day equal to 221,790 tonnes per month from 5 small towns namely Nguruka, Ilagala, Basanza, Kazuramimba. However, Uvinza District Council can manage to collect and dispose 205 tonnes of solid wastes per day; the rest of wastes remain uncollected in the streets causing public nuisance and breeding sites of vectors.

Table 30: Planned Activities for 2016/17 and Actual Performance
The main activities planned to be audited by the Unit in 2016/17 are as indicated in Table 30. But due to human and financial resources, some areas were performed below 50%. The main challenges during the operations of the unit were: insufficient human resources and budget constraints (the Unit could not purchase fuel and service the Unit’s motor vehicle).
Situation of Audit Activities in the District
Lack of transport facility
Inadequate office space
Inadequate staff
inadequate funds to support PMU activities
inadequate working facilities such as printer and photocopy machine
However, in the course of implementing its roles, the unit faced the following challenges:
In the 2016/17 financial year PMU executed various activities in relation to works, goods, services and consultancy services as indicated in the Council annual procurement plan.

All the systems are in use, although limited access is experienced (low speed and weak network signal). Currently Uvinza District Council is connected access the systems through VSAT technology
Uvinza District Council headquarter has no Internet connection and poor mobile services. Mobile network service provider like Vodacom, TIGO, Airtel companies they installed base station but we experience 2G capacity.
Local Area Network is installed in few offices which are DED office, DT, DPLO, DIA, HR, ICT, ACCOUNTANT, CASHIER, TRADE, PMU, DE and LAND. Offices which are not connected by LAN are District Chairperson office, Community Development, Water, Livestock, Natural Resource, and Health.
Key issues that ICT Unit is facing and wishes to address include:-
Major Limitations in the Department
Uvinza District has launched its own website which is accessible fromwww.uvinzadc.go.tz,it contains necessary information, events, announcements, photos, videos and other documents that are necessary to the citizens for Social and economic service delivery. Also we are connected to Government Mail Systems (GMS).
Committed and accountable leaders and staffs
The analysis of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges (SWOC) of Uvinza District Council was done in a participatory manner involving District staff, particularly the Heads of Departments and Units. The aim of the SWOC analysis was to identify the existing strengths and opportunities that the District council can use to address the existing weaknesses and challenges. The identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges are as follows:
Sustainable Development Goals are 17 global goals with 169 targets. These goals are somewhat in line with the core functions of Uvinza District Council of achieving delivery of quality services to communities in their District; services that will address climate, economic development and poverty related issues. This implies that, a closer follow up of funding for implementation of SDGs targets, will foster the implementation of the present Councils’ Strategic Plan.
Tanzania is a member of several regional development initiatives such as Southern Africa Development Community and East African Community. These regional initiatives are likely to offer several opportunities for Uvinza District. As it stands, Uvinza can fetch market for its agricultural products, but it can also attract investors from around member countries.
Basically, each Sector Ministry has sector policy used to guide operations of various issues within the sector. These sector policies among other things emphasize on implementation of various national priorities. There is no doubt that in order for such priorities to be implemented, Local Government Authorities like Uvinza District Council have important role to play. Following this fact, this Uvinza District Council Strategic Plan has designed in a way that, it captures local and national priorities indicated in various sectoral policies. The plan therefore focuses the District resources in addressing various national priorities without jeopardizing local priorities.
In efforts to realize the Tanzania Development Vision 2025, Tanzania Government formulated a Long Term Perspective Plan 2011/12-2025/26. This perspective plan is being implemented in a series of three Five Year Development Plans. The National five-year development plan of 2016/17-2020/21 is the second in the series of this perspective plan. The theme of this plan is “Nurturing Industrialization for Economic Transformation and Human Development”. It is expected that, some of the ways to realize this transformation include: fostering economic growth, enhancing forward and backward linkages between and within sectors, ensuring positive spill-over effects of skills development and technology innovation, reducing economic vulnerability, creating decent jobs and ensuring environmental sustainability. This Uvinza District Council Strategic Plan of 2017/18-2021/22 is by all means going to contribute to the realization of the transformation envisaged in the Second Five Years National Development Plan.
National stability, Peace and unity, good governance as well as the Tanzania’s good diplomatic relations are national and international features laying ground for human prosperity and development. These national qualities have been extended to Uvinza District, where residents and visitors are enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and good relationship. Such conditions attract and accelerate the process of attracting investors in the country. Apart from attracting investors, these conditions are likely to raise confidence of development partners and thus present an opportunity for concessional loans and grants to implement district priorities.
As a Local Government Authority, the Uvinza District Council will ensure the objectives of the 2015 ruling party’s manifesto are achieved in line with the peoples ‘expectations from their government.
Peace and security: To ensure the groups of people living under threat such as, those with albinism, the elderly, women and children are provided with adequate defense and security.
Employment among the youth: This is pursued by establishing small, medium and large scale industries so as to create jobs.
War on corruption: Adoption of a zero-tolerance stance against institutionalized corruption both in the public and private sectors;
Eliminating poverty – by improving productivity in agriculture sector, formalizing the informal sector by allocating small scale traders areas to conduct business and providing them with business licenses that will enable them to acquire loans and, enabling people living in rural areas obtain traditional title deeds.
The ruling party CCM’s election manifesto is in line with the National Development Vision 2025, in which it aims at bringing about sustainable development for Tanzanians. The Manifesto highlights education, energy, jobs creation, infrastructure and communication as major development concerns for the period 2015-2020. Four areas of Party’s priority are:
2.3.2 CCM 2015 Manifesto
Being responsible for service delivery in the country, the Uvinzai District Council serves as government vehicle in attaining the vision 2025 of reducing poverty among Tanzanians.
Be a nation with high quality of education at all levels; a nation which produces the quantity and quality of educated people sufficiently equipped with the requisite knowledge to solve the society's problems, meet the challenges of development and attain competitiveness at regional and global levels.
Be a nation whose people have a positive mindset and a culture which cherishes human development through hard work, professionalism, entrepreneurship, creativity, innovativeness and ingenuity and who have confidence in and high respect for all people irrespective of gender. The people must cultivate a community spirit; one which, however, is appropriately balanced with respect for individual initiative.
Attain self-reliance driven by the psychological liberation of the mindset and the people's sense of confidence in order to enable effective determination and ownership of the development agenda with the primary objective of satisfying the basic needs of all the people - men, women and children.
(d) A well educated and learning society: Tanzania envisages being a nation whose people are ingrained with a developmental mindset and competitive spirit. These attributes are driven by education and knowledge and are critical in enabling the nation to effectively utilize knowledge in mobilizing domestic resources for assuring the provision of people's basic needs and for attaining competitiveness in the regional and global economy. Tanzania would brace itself to attain creativity, innovativeness and a high level of quality education in order to respond to development challenges and effectively compete regionally and internationally, cognizant of the reality that competitive leadership in the 21st century will hinge on the level and quality of education and knowledge. To this effect, Tanzania should:
(c) Good governance: Tanzania cherishes good governance and the rule of law in the process of creating wealth and sharing benefits in society, and seeks to ensure that its people are empowered with the capacity to make their leaders and public servants accountable. By 2025, good governance should have permeated the national socio-economic structure thereby ensuring a culture of accountability, rewarding good performance and effectively curbing corruption and other vices in society
(b)Peace, stability and unity: A nation should enjoy peace, political stability, national unity and social cohesion in an environment of democracy, political and social tolerance. Although Tanzania has enjoyed national unity, peace and stability for a long time, these attributes must continue to be cultivated, nurtured and sustained as important pillars for the realization of the Vision.
(a) High Quality Livelihood: Ideally a nation's development should be people-centered, based on sustainable and shared growth free from abject poverty. For Tanzania, this development means the creation of wealth and its distribution in society must be equitable and free from inequalities, and all forms of social and political relations which inhibit empowerment and effective democratic and popular participation of social groups (men and women, boys and girls, the young and old and the able-bodied and disabled persons) in society are eliminated. In particular, by the year 2025, racial and gender imbalances will have been addressed such that economic activities will not be identifiable by gender or race.
Tanzania envisions that by 2025 will have attained a remarkable development from a least developed to a middle income country in the areas of high quality livelihood, peace, stability and unity, good governance, as well as educated and learning society; and a competitive economy capable of producing sustainable growth and shared benefits.
During the Local Government Election of 2014 there were eighteen election petitions raised against the District returning Officer, that the complaints demanded the court to declare that the election null and void for not being conducted fairly. After hearing, the court dismissed prayers of the petitioner. In General Election of 2015 one election petition was raised whereby the Parliamentary candidate for NCCR Mageuzi complained against the returning officer of Kigoma South Constituency that the election was not fair. After hearing, the court also dismissed prayers of the petitioner.

4.4.19.1 Result Area: Legal
The successful achievement of the Uvinza District Council 2017/2018 - 2021/2022 Strategic Plan depends on the existence of the following major assumptions which need close monitoring and timely responded by Council management.
The elusive nature of the future planned activities for Uvinza District Council results to its exposed to the likelihood of unforeseen events that might affect the implementation of this strategic plan. Working towards achieving the Vision, Mission, Strategic objectives and set targets the District Council needs an integrated organization-wide approach to manage uncertainty. In managing risks adopting an organization-wide approach to risk management shall be a continuous, pro-active and systematic process to managing risks which also implies a significant change in District Council’s management culture at all levels. The following matrix provide critical analysis on risks identified in Uvinza district council, description of risk, category of risk likelihood of risk, impact of risk and risk mitigation.
Plan review shall be conducted in order a plan to remain focused in realizing the District Council core missions, strategic objectives, targets and therefore stay the course to the vision. Plan reviews shall be triggered by the results of evaluation activities. That is, plan reviews are meant to be responsive to the shortcomings in the course of plan implementation. There shall be minor plan reviews annually, medium plan reviews after two and half years and a major Plan review after five years.
During evaluation, performance indicators or evidence that shows the extent of the strategic plan implementation progress will be developed. These will be a base to determine success or failure of the plan. Moreover, these will help in collecting useful data and in search for required evaluation tools and information sources. Performance indicators as a unit of success will be both quantitative (Number of people served with a particular service and number of services delivered) and qualitative (such as positive or negative feedback, problems, complaints, and comments).
Understanding whether the Plan implementation is achieving desired impact in fulfilling the Council vision and mission.
Assessing the reasons given with regards to success or failure in achieving implementation targets
Establishing whether the District Council is mobilizing adequate resources and the use of such scarce resources is justifiable.
Specifically, the evaluation of the Uvinza District Council Strategic Plan (2017/2018 - 2021/2022) shall largely aim at:
In order to assess the plan performance, there shall be annual plan evaluation exercises for the entire plan period. Match activity funding with plan implementation, evaluation and review. It is recommended that the evaluation exercises are conducted at the end of the financial year. Two types of evaluations are further recommended. These are interim evaluation to be conducted after two and half years and to be carried out by internal evaluators. The second type of evaluation to be carried at the end of the planned period using external evaluators with the assistance from internal evaluators. These reports, including the quarterly ones, shall form the basic inputs of updating and rolling over the planned but unexecuted activities of the Strategic Plan activities.
A part from reporting at the various District Council Committees, there shall be one internal review meeting which will be conducted annually, bringing together the representative of all internal stakeholders to review the strategic plan implementation process. Once in two years, these meetings will also involve external stakeholders. These meetings together with the discussions in various committees will provide opportunities to enhance awareness and ownership of the strategic plan.
