THE inordinately high cost that is associated with registering a project under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and conversion of Certified Emissions Reduction (CER) is one of the reasons why firms and other institutions in Tanzania continue to be shut out of the carbon trading/carbon credit stakes.
Other reasons include – and are not limited to – ignorance of the benefits that would accrue from such a venture, and a singular lack of local experts needed to effectively implement the projects related to the concept of carbon trading.

DANIEL SEMBERYA, recently in Tabora
CHILD labour is a problem in tobacco farming the world over, and it is estimated that millions of children of school-going age either do not go to school at all, or their attendance is erratic, because they are engaged on the farm. Tanzania has not been spared this problem.
However, the number of children involved in tobacco farming in the country is projected to shrink considerably after stakeholders in the tobacco sub-sector developed measures designed to overhaul the extant farming methods by shifting from labour-intensive, hand-hoe cultivating to farming using draught animals.

The latest such fad – and one that is having an adverse impact on company incomes – is the 'Tsh1 per second' offer by companies seeking to out-rival each other at the marketplace.

TIME and again, the Government in Dar es Salaam has expressed its desire to have the entire country electrified as a matter of course.
One of the main objectives of electrification in Tanzania is to provide reliable and good quality electricity to a majority of the people living in both the rural and urban areas of this vast, sprawling country.
