a long time we’ve been lacking

correct data on the number of

people with disabilities in our

country.

reason for people with

disabilities to be dependent on

media editors on

how to extract

stories and articles

The call was made by the

Manager for Price and Labour

Statistics of the National Bureau of

Statistics (NBS), Ms. Ruth Minja,

during training for editors and

reporters. The training was on best

practices of extracting news stories

from statistics reports.

“Statistics reports contain

important messages to the public.

Journalists must first understand

the content and make correct

interpretation of the keymessages before sharing them,”

said Ms. Minja.

She argued that failure to grasp

the key messages by journalists

could cause the public to

consume the wrong information.

The NBS official further saidthat The Integrated Labour

Force Survey Analytical Report

for 2014/15 showed that people

who are able and willing to

work had decreased from 89.6

percent in 2006 to 86.7 percent--

in 2014, while economic

ability to sustain the labour

force decreased from 79.2 percent in 2006 to 77.8 percent

in 2014.

She also revealed that people

who were employed and earned

a salary increased from 10.5

percent in 2006 to 13.8 percent

in 2014, resulting from

increased job opportunities.

Ms. Minja said employment in

the informal sector increased

from 10.1 percent in 2006 to

21.7 percent in 2014.

The reason for the change, she

said, was expansion of the informal

sector.

Furthermore, she said people who

had no job and not willing to work

even if they were given one

increased from 10.4 percent in

2006 to 17.2 percent in 2014.

According to the results, there

were more women in the previous

category compared to their male

counterparts, all because of

domestic chores which were not

being paid for.

“The Integrated

Labour Force Survey

Analytical Report for

2014/15 showed that

people who are able

and willing to work had

decreased from 89.6


percent in 2014, while

NBS, e-Government Agency organise meeting over Open Data Policy

THE National Bureau of

Statistics (NBS) in collaboration

with e-Government Agency (e-

GA) organized a day-long

meeting with stakeholders on

Open Data.

The goal of the meeting was to

gather stakeholders’ inputs

regarding the development of

policy guide on Open Data in the

country.

The stakeholders were drawn

from various institutions

including Ministries,

Government Agencies,

Development Partners, Non-

Governmental Organizations and

representatives from the business

community.

Mr. Edward Anderson, a

representative from the American

Red Cross, spoke about the need

for policy to contain issues of

digitizing and uploading data

from paper work and their

timeliness, data on climate

change, as well as identify the

role of the leading agency and

issues of financing of and for

data.

For his part, an official from the

Ministry of Agriculture said it was

right for NBS to be the lead

agency as proposed because it was

well placed and designed as the

custodian and publisher of

statistics in the country.

He suggested that accessibility of

information and data must be

enhanced.

The participants urged the need to

step up sensitisation and

awareness creation of the new

Statistical legislation passed last

November. Such efforts would

reduce chances for people to be

penalised.

Other stakeholders were of the

opinion that working relationships

with the regulator should be

reviewed in order to improve

delivery.

The government supports global

movement on data innovations

facilitated by information

technology and the demand of the

public to access key statistics.

The government is of a strong

conviction that access to data

facilitates individuals, the private

sector as well as the general

public to acquire new insights

and innovations for improved

service delivery and livelihoods

of the people.

These efforts go in line with the

implementation of several key

and cross-cutting government

reforms aimed at improving

good governance and service

delivery through realisation of

the aspirations of Vision 2025,

Sustainable Development Goals

(SDGs) and National Strategy

for Growth and Poverty

Reduction (NSGPR) also known

as MKUKUTA.

Moreover, as part of

strengthening good governance

and making Government

business more open to its

citizens, Tanzania joined

regional initiatives such as the

African Peer Review Mechanism

(APRM) in 2004 and

international initiatives such as

the Open Government--


10/20


Partnership (OGP) in 2011.

OGP in particular, has four key

principles of good governance,

namely, transparency, citizen

participation, accountability and

integrity, technology and

innovation that are to be observed

by member countries through their

own national action plans.

In order to realise the OGP

principles, the Government of

Tanzania developed a number of

action plans. The first was

implemented in 2012/13 covering

twenty five commitments

implemented in three main

sectors – education, health and

water.

The second covered 2014-2016

and focuses on commitments

related to access to information,

open budget, open data, extractive

industry and land transparency.

The commitment on Open Data

was to establish a strong Open

Data system and practices aimed at

empowering the public to hold the

government accountable.

In Tanzania, the Ministry of

Finance and Planning through

National Bureau of Statistics in--

The day-long meeting called for

inputs from stakeholders for a

comprehensive policy

formulation that will guide publicinstitutions in production and

releasing of data.

Taking advantage of the plight of

information and communication

technology, the policy will

provide directives, guidelines, and

uniformity in implementing Open

Data initiatives in Tanzania.

Also the document would

stipulate procedures and

processes for access to

government data in a simplified

manner and machine readable

format to enable use and re-use of

data in the absence of harmonisedregulations, procedures and

strategies to manage and release

such data.

“The stakeholders were drawn

from various institutions

including Ministries, Government

Agencies, Development Partners,

Non-Governmental Organizations

and representatives from the

business community.”

These efforts go in

line with the

implementation of

several key and cross-

cutting government

reforms aimed at

improving good

governance and

service delivery

through realisation of

the aspirations of

Vision 2025,

Sustainable

Development Goals(SDGs) and National

Inflation rate for April, 2016 drops to 5.1 percent

THE headline inflation rate for

April, 2016 decreased to 5.1

percent from 5.4 percent recorded

a month before.

Addressing reporters in Dar es

Salaam, the National Bureau of

Statistics (NBS) Director for

Population Census and Social

Statistics, Mr. EphraimKwesigabo, said the decrease was

due to the fall of speed of price

increase for commodities

compared to that of the previous

month.

He said the headline inflation

rate for April, 2016 stagnated at

0.5 percent as it was recorded in

March, 2016 while the 12

month index change for non-

food products increased to 3.5

percent in April from 3.0

percent recorded a month

before.

“The overall index has

increased to 102.46 in April,

2016 from 101.93 recorded in

March, 2016. The increase of

the overall index was attributed-

to the price increase of both

food and non-food items.

“Some food items that

contributed to such increase

include; cassava flour which

increased by 11.0 percent,

sardines by 6.6 percent,

lentils by 11.0 percent,

powdered milk by 3.4 percent and citrus fruits by

2.9 percent. While non-food

items that contributed to

such increase were wine by

He also said inflation rate for

food consumed at home and

away from home decreased to 7.3

percent during the month under

study from 8.0 percent recorded

in March, 2016.

According to him, the inflation

rate which excludes food and

increased to 3.0 percent from 2.8

from December, 2015.

Commenting on the just released

inflation rate for April, Prof. Haji

Semboja, who is a researcher in

Economics and lecturer at the

University of Dar es Salaam,

said the inflation rate showed an

improvement in efforts of

controlling prices of various

commodities including food and

non-food items.

He argued that such a trend can

act as a pull-factor towards

investors, as they usually seek a-

working environment that

features price stability.

“The fact that inflation rate hasgone down to 5.1 percent in

April shows there is an

improvement in strategies that

the government is using in

controlling prices of both food

and non-food items,” said Prof.

Semboja.
