dc.description.abstract | The Habitat Agenda and its Global Plan of Action was endorsed by the
governments of the World at the Second United Nations Conference on Human
Settlements (HABITAT II) held in Istanbul in June 1996. This research project, discusses
how far Tanzania has translated the Habitat Agenda into domestic practice and the
challenges it faces. It starts by giving an overview of international conferences related to
human settlements. It also assesses Tanzania's efforts in addressing urbanization
challenges before and after the Istanbul Conference of 1996. The research further
discusses the status of the implementation of Habitat Agenda in Tanzania. Furthermore, it
explores the challenges encountered in the implementation of the Habitat Agenda and
draws a set of recommendations, which may enhance Tanzania's actions on its
implementation
The study concludes that Tanzania has responded to these commitments with
varying emphasis, efforts and achievements. It has taken a number of steps by revising
and introducing new policies and implemented a number of programmes. However,
during the period of this study, Tanzania has not achieved much and a wide gap exists
between the commitments and performance. This is evident in the growing number and
proportion of Tanzania population living in slum areas, and with limited security. Tanzania needs to prepare and implement an action plan to address the challenges
of implementing the Habitat Agenda and implement the recommendations, otherwise a
gap will always exist between the country's obligations on implementing the Habitat
Agenda and what it can actually achieve. | en |
