Preface
This revised district profile is an update of the previous report produced in 2007.The development of the document was solicited by the President’s Office – Regional Administration, Local Government and Special Departments (PORALGSD) with financial
support from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The Institute of Finance Management (IFM) was commissioned to facilitate the development of the district profile. Members of the consulting team worked closely with the PORALGSD. District teams were also involved in data collection and validation of the report. Heads of department from the district and regional levels were trained on how to review and update a profile. The idea was to ensure that there is a necessary capacity to carry out a review of the profile in the next round.
The consultants would like to express deep gratitude for the support and cooperation provided by all individuals who were involved in this assignment, particularly staff from the regions, district offices, PORALGSD, OCGS and UNICEF. It was envisioned that the current profile should contain a time series data which is disaggregated up to the shehia level. Unfortunately, this objective was not attained for most indicators mainly due to unavailability of data collected over a period detailed to the shehia level. It is our sincere hope that these gaps will be filled during the next review.

It also shows how the structure cascades down to the lowest rung of administration,the shehia.
Background informationWete district is one of the two districts in Kaskazini Pemba Region, in Pemba Island. The other district in the region is Micheweni, which is along the southern part of the island. Wete district has 5 constituencies, 10 wards and 36 shehias.

Administration
Wete district comprises the district commissioner’s office and the LGA. The former is headed by the district commissioner (DC,) who is assisted by the district administrative secretary (DAS), while the latter is headed by the district director. The DC’s office is part of the central government. Within the office of the DC, there are 12 departments: agriculture, health, education, planning, forestry, sports and culture, livestock, fishery, social welfare, water, construction and nutrition.
The shehia is at the lowest level of the central government, and is led by a sheha, who is appointed by the minister responsible for regional administration. A sheha is responsible for the registration of births and deaths as well as the coordination of other activities, as may be assigned by the DC from time to time.
There is a clear demarcation between the responsibilities of the two government tiers. The LGA is responsible for issues related to the environment and collection of levies within the boundaries of the district. The central government element oversees the provision of all public social services as well as security issues within the district.

The second politically elected leader is a member of Parliament, who represents the constituency in the National Assembly of the Union (Mainland and Zanzibar). A third political leader is a ward councilor, who is elected to represent citizens in the district council.

Chapter 2 describes population characteristics in the district. Chapter 3 elaborates on the main economic activities, and Chapter 4 provides information on the status of social services within the district. Chapter 5 presents cross-cutting issues, such as the environment. Chapter 6 covers priority areas and recommendations. A SWOC analysis is included in the appendix.

3.3 AgricultureWete district experiences a short rainy season, known as vuli, with planting around October/December and harvesting in late January/February, and a long rainy season, called masika, immediately following the vuli season, with planting in late February/March and harvesting in July/August. Such weather conditions are favourable for the production of a range of crops such as cloves, maize, sweet potato, cassava, paddy, banana, yams and different types of vegetables. The farming system in the district is characterized by mixed cropping mainly due to relatively small farm sizes. Also, due to geographical differences, the production of these crops is distributed in different pockets, keeping in mind soil conditions and other geographical characteristics of the area.

3.5 Fishery Fishery is one of the sectors that supports the livelihood of several people within the district. Fishermen and others employed in allied segments of the fishery value chain make a living through this sector. However, this sector is not well developed partly because participants do not have adequate education and lack necessary credentials to access loan facilities from banks. Table 13 provides details on the types of fishing gear used in various shehias in Wete.

of education, expressed as a percentage of corresponding school-age population while the net enrolment ratio (NER) is the number of school-age pupils enrolled in a given level of education, expressed as a percentage of the corresponding school-age population.
As indicated in Table 21, the NER of children in basic, primary and secondary schools in the district has improved over the periods of the surveys. Net enrolment in the district has increased from 72.7 per cent in 2004/5 to 80.7 per cent in 2014/15, and from 70.6 per cent to 82 per cent at the basic and primary education levels, respectively. Net enrolment at the secondary education level increased from 32.1 per cent in 2004/5 to 44.2 per cent in 2009/10, and later declined to 37.5 per cent in 2014/15. The NERs for basic, primary and secondary education in the district are below the national averages in 2004/5, 2009/10 and 2014/15.
GERs indicate a decline in the ratio in 2014/15 as compared to 2004/5 at basic and primary education levels from 96 per cent and 110 per cent to 91.2 per cent and 98.7 per cent, respectively. However, GER for secondary education in the district indicates an increase from 42.2 per cent in 2004/5 to 49.5 per cent in 2009/10. In 2014/15, the GER for secondary education declined to 42.4 per cent. This trend is similar to that of the national averages.

The gender parity index (GPI) measures the relative access to education of males and females. It is calculated as the quotient of the number of females by the number of males enrolled in a given stage of education. The gross enrolment GPI indicates that in 2013, pre-primary, primary and secondary schools had enrolled more girls than boys in the district. As shown in Table 22, the GER GPI in the pre-primary, primary and secondary schools were 1.09, 1.02 and 1.08, respectively.

4.1.3 Accessibility to schools
According to the HBS 2014/15, 98 per cent and 85.5 per cent of children walk to primary and secondary schools, respectively, as compared to national averages of 92.6 per cent and 77.4 per cent. The other means of transport used by children to go to schools include bikes, private cars and public cars. This indicator implies that both primary and secondary schools in the district are within walking distances.

Other indicators that show accessibility to primary and secondary schools in Wete district are mean distance to the nearest school and the distribution of households by distance to the nearest school. The mean distance to the nearest school shows the average distance to the nearest school in the district. The average distance to the nearest primary and secondary school has improved in 2009/10 from 1.3 km and 2.9 km to 0.7 km and 0.9 km, respectively. This means that children walked shorter distances to schools in 2009/10 as compared to distances reported in the 2004/05 HBS. However, the mean distances to the nearest primary and secondary school in the district are greater than the national averages. This means that children in the district walk a longer distance to both primary and secondary school than the national average distance.

The 2009/10 HBS shows that 93.2 per cent of households in the district were within less than 3 km from the nearest primary school as compared to the national average of 97.1 per cent. The remaining 6.8 per cent of households are at or more than 3 km from the nearest primary school.
4.1.4 Teachers
This section covers the status on the qualification of teachers in pre-primary, primary and secondary schools in the district. All pre-primary schools in the district have qualified teachers, except Mitiulaya school, which had 20 per cent of unqualified teachers in 2013. Only one pre-primary school in the district – Kisiwani – had a PTR beyond the recommended level of 25 to 1.

4.1.5 School facilities
The pupil–classroom (PCR) ratio indicates the average number of pupils in a classroom and establishes whether there are sufficient numbers of classrooms to accommodate pupils. The PCRs in pre-primary schools in the district are from 27 to 45 pupils as compared to the recommended number 25. Generally, classrooms in pre-primary schools had children beyond the recommended number.
The pupil–latrine ratio (PLR) shows the number of latrines available for use by pupils in a school. The recommended number is 1 latrine for 45 girls and 50 boys. The PLRs in pre-primary schools in the district vary from 22 to 28 for boys, and 18 to 32 for girls. All the pre-primary schools in the district have sufficient latrines.

4.2 Water and sanitationThis section provides an overview of water and sanitation aspects within the district. It begins by considering ongoing water projects, followed by sources of drinking water, distribution of main water sources, number of boreholes and areas to which they supply water connection as well as the average distance that one needs to travel to fetch water within the district.
4.2.1 Water projects
Several projects have been implemented in Zanzibar to improve access to water and sanitation. These are consistent with the country’s overall development framework and long-term socio-economic development goals as laid out in Zanzibar’s Vision 2020, which aim to reduce poverty and improve living standards through sustainable development, including investment in social infrastructure, such as water and sanitation facilities. Cluster 2 of the Zanzibar Medium Term Development Framework ZSGRP (2010/11–2014/15) focuses on the improvement of social services and wellbeing, including access to water and sanitation services.

The Zanzibar Water Sector Policy (2004) also hopes to improve the social wellbeing of the population and enhance the performance of the economy by ensuring equitable provision of adequate and reliable water and sanitation services.
4.2.2 Source of drinking water
Improved drinking water is an important aspect of the health of household members. Water sources can be classified as ‘improved’ or ‘unimproved’. Sources considered as improved are piped water into homes, public stand pipes, boreholes, protected wells, protected springs and rain water harvesting. Unimproved water sources include unprotected wells and springs, rivers and streams and vendors and tanker trucks.
4.2.3 Distribution of the main sources of water
Table 32 shows the distribution of the main sources of drinking water in the district. The main source of drinking water for most households in the district is piped water, tube well/boreholes, protected dug wells and springs. The table indicates that 93 per cent of households in the district use improved water sources for drinking while 7 per cent use unimproved water sources.

4.2.4 Boreholes in the district
Table 33 provides information on boreholes that are currently supplying water and those that need to be rehabilitated in order to continue supplying water. These boreholes are located in only 19 shehias, and therefore, other shehias are also being supplied by these sources. Selem is the only shehia where there is no operating borehole.

4.2.7 Distance to clean drinking water source
Distance to water source is one of the most important aspects of water supply, which impacts consumption and hygiene practices. According to the 2014/15 HBS, the percentage of households within less than 1 km from any drinking water source during the dry season has improved from 56 per cent in 2004/5 to 92.5 per cent in 2014/15, as shown in Table 36 below. The rest of the households, accounting for 7.5 per cent, travel between 1km and 1.9 km to fetch water during the dry season.

4.2.8 Toilet facilities
According to Figure 7, the percentage of households without a toilet has declined from 55.7 per cent in 2004/5 to 37.5 per cent in 2014/15. The types of toilet facilities used in the district include the ventilated improved pit (VIP), flush toilet and pit latrine. Improvement in the usage of toilets in the district is mainly associated with an increased use of VIP and flush toilets. Percentage of households with VIPs and flush toilets has increased from 0.7 and 6.1 per cent in 2004/5 to 10.1 and 23.2 per cent in 2014/15, respectively.

4.2.9 Garbage collection
The garbage collection system in human settlements has a direct effect on environmental and health conditions. Table 38 presents the distribution of households by means of the main means of garbage disposal. The table shows that 88.5 per cent of private households in Wete reported other dumping (open space, bush etc.) as the commonly used method of refuse disposal, followed by burning (5.7 per cent). Regular collection of refuse is not common and accounts for only 1.3 per cent of households, while 3.7 per cent of households bury their waste.

4.3 Child protection issues, gender violence and disabilitiesThis section covers issues related to child abuse and violence, children living in vulnerable circumstances, gender violence and type of disabilities.
4.3.1 Violence against children
Issues relating to child victims and crimes committed against children are a matter of serious concern. Children, because of their inability to protect themselves, are more vulnerable to crime and are also more likely to suffer abuse silently. Zanzibar has passed the Children’s Act 2011 and rolled out gender and children desks in police stations to curb the rising wave of sexual assaults against women and children. A study released by the Tanzania Media Women’s Association (TAMWA) shows that rape, early pregnancies and child marriages are rising at a higher rate in Zanzibar, with 996 cases reported between 2012/13 as compared to the 398 in 2011 (TAMWA, 2014).These gender desks are special units in each police station, consisting of a reception, interview and counseling room, rest area and an office where victims can report cases of physical and sexual abuse to trained police. Table 39 shows that 90 per cent of the victims of child abuse cases reported were girls, accounting for 44 victims. Table 39 further shows that 41 cases out of 49 cases related to sexual abuse.

4.4 Social protection services: Old age, welfare and pensionThis section provides highlights on issues related to the district’s small cash transfer scheme, universal pension and Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN).
4.4.1 Small Cash Transfer Scheme
According to the 2012 Census, there are 5,819 people whose age is 60 years and above, accounting for 5.4 percent of the total population in Wete. Of the elderly, 70.5 percent live in rural areas. Table 43 shows the distribution of the elderly in different age groups in the district.

Source: Population and Housing Census, 2012.
The government runs a Small Cash Transfer Scheme for residents aged 60 years and above, which is administered at the community level. Recipients receive a monthly payment of TSh 5,000 (HelpAge International, 2009). The scheme is managed locally by the shehas, who select potential beneficiaries. The cash is then delivered through the district social welfare officers. However, a TSh 5,000 cash transfer is not sufficient to meet even a third of the basic needs according to food poverty line for 2004/05. In addition, the scheme has a fixed budget; those in need can only be added to the scheme if an existing beneficiary dies (HelpAge International, 2009). This is a challenge for Zanzibar in its wider vision for 2020 to alleviate all poverty.
4.4.2 Universal Pension Scheme
Following a recommendation from the ILO Social Protection Expenditure Review of 2010, the Department of Social Welfare (DSW) of Zanzibar implemented a Universal Pension Scheme (ZUPS) targeted at providing income security to the aged. The scheme covers all Zanzibar residents aged 70 and above. The first payment for the scheme for 21,263 old persons was effected in April 2016, each receiving a monthly pension of TSh 20,000.

4.4.3 Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN)
In 2013, the Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF) introduced the PSSN programme, which involves conditional cash transfers targeting people who are extremely poor or most vulnerable, aimed at protecting them from the severest consequences of poverty by enabling them to purchase food, pay for medical care (including paying contributions to the Community Health Fund) and support school-going children. Targeted households with children or pregnant women are also eligible for such conditional transfers if they comply with key conditions focused on the use of available education and health services. Nine shehias in Wete district are involved in the PSSN programme, as shown in Table 44, covering a total of 5,673 households. Thus, the PSSN programme covers approximately 28 percent of shehias in the district.

4.5.6 Immunization
The overall status of child immunization in 2016 is presented in Table 52. This service has been provided in 19 health facilities within the district. The table shows that Pandani, Kambini, Vumba, Kisiwani, Ukunjwi and Jadida health facilities in the district could not meet the target of 90 per cent coverage with respect to BCG, full immunization, Penta3 and measles in the year. Generally, the coverage in these health facilities is far below the target levels. However, the coverage in other health facilities was above 100 per cent, which may imply that there were errors in the estimation of the targeted population for the facilities.

4.5.8 HIV and AIDS
Generally, Zanzibar has a concentrated epidemic with 1 per cent of the general population affected (THMIS 2012) and more than 2 per cent among key populations, namely people who inject drugs (11.3 per cent), female sex workers (19 per cent) and men who have sex with men (MSM) (2.6 per cent) (IBBSS 2012). HIV prevalence in North Region Pemba, which also includes Wete district, is 0.7 per cent (THMIS 2012).In Zanzibar, about 314 new infections have been estimated to occur yearly– the highest proportion contributed by stable heterosexual relationships (35.0 per cent), followed by clients of sex workers (28.6 per cent), people who inject drugs (PWID) (10.8 per cent) and partners of PWID (6.7 per cent). The other subpopulations that
Wet
e di
stric
t pro
file
58
contribute to a higher proportion of the new HIV infections are partners of those having casual heterosexual sex (6.5 per cent), MSM (3.7 per cent) and partners of sex workers’ clients (2.3 per cent). None of the new HIV infections are from blood transfusion. This model also suggests that Zanzibar is characterized by a mixed epidemic, whereby new HIV infections are equally contributed by the general population as well as by key populations (Zanzibar HIV transmission model – ZIHTLP 2012).
Data from the Ministry of Health (2016) show that a total of 4,410individualswere tested for HIV, of which 29 were found to be HIV positive (0.7per cent). A total of 123individuals are on care and treatment, of which 13 are children and 110 are adults (ZIHTLP 2017).
4.5.9 Antenatal (ANC) and postnatal (PNC) services
The status related to the number of pregnant mothers who attended ANC and PNC clinics is provided in Table 54.

5.2 Sources of energyWete is among the districts in Zanzibar which have the lowest proportion of households connected with electricity. The percentage of households with electricity connection has increased from 12 in 2004/05 to 26 in 2014/15 as shown in Figure 8. This means that in 2014/15, 74 percent of households in the district have been relying on other sources of energy for cooking and lighting, which include gas, paraffin, charcoal, firewood and candles. Table 60 shows that 80 percent of the district’s residents use firewood as the source of energy for cooking. This dependence on firewood and charcoal leads to deforestation problems in the district.

Chapter 6
Priority areas and recommendations
IntroductionThis chapter identifies areas that the district needs to focus on, given the strength, weakness, opportunity and challenge (SWOC) analysis of the different sectors. Identification of priority issues in different sectors has also taken into consideration MKUZA III, Zanzibar Vision 2020, sectoral policies, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and objectives of the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar as stipulated in the 2015election manifesto of the ruling party - Chama Cha Mapinduzi(CCM). The chapter also provides specific recommendations on the priority areas.
6.1 Priority areas and recommendationsThis section presents the proposed priority issues, together with recommendations for each of the main social and economic sectors in the district. The priority issues and respective recommendations are organized sector-wise as follows:
6.1.1 Education
The enrolment of children, both boys and girls, at basic, primary and secondary schools in the district has been improving. However, the main challenges facing the district, particularly at primary and secondary levels, include insufficient facilities, such as classrooms, toilets, desks, laboratory space and equipment, and availability of safe drinking water, and lack of learning materials. Also, schools lack teachers, particularly for mathematics and science. Thus, necessary interventions in the education sector in the district include improvement in the provision of facilities, teachers and learning materials.
6.1.2 Health
The critical health issues in the district include a high proportion of births attended by unskilled personnel, shortage of health professionals, poor attendance at ANC services, low level of immunization coverage and relatively high child and maternal mortality rates. Therefore, the district has to increase the proportion of births attended by health professionals, improve immunization coverage and reduce the child and women mortality rates.
6.1.3 Agriculture
The key issues in relation to agriculture in the district are modernization of agriculture and protection of agricultural land against encroachment by expanding construction activities and seawater. Modernization of agriculture should mainly seek to improve productivity and achieve self-sufficiency in food. The modernization of agriculture in the district requires the promotion of
Wet
e di
stric
t pro
file
64
irrigation, provision of agricultural inputs at reduced/subsidized prices, provision of credit facilities to farmers to improve their ability to obtain agricultural inputs, and improvement of rural road networks to enhance marketing of agricultural products.
6.1.4 Fishery
The main concerns about fishery that the district needs to address include improving productivity and enhancing protection of the marine environment. Productivity can be improved through the extension of fishing to inshore waters and the use of modern fishing gears. Marine environment protection requires enhancement of the understanding of fishermen about the adverse effects of illegal fishing techniques, such as spear fishing, drag netting and dynamiting. Also, inspection patrols have to be enhanced in order to ensure sustainable fishing activities in the district.
6.1.5 Livestock
Livestock in the district is characterized by very low productivity, mainly due to inadequate provision of animal health services such as availability of quality and affordable animal feeds, and a lack of veterinary officers and poor knowledge of people about modern livestock rearing. The district has to improve livestock productivity through enhancing livestock services and training to livestock rearers.
6.1.6 Gender and social protection
The gender and social protection issues of importance in the district are enhancement of the protection of vulnerable groups, particularly women and children, against violence and abuse, and improvement of access of the elderly to available social protection schemes.
6.1.7 Water and sanitation
The district has inadequate safe and clean water, and liquid and solid waste management facilities are poor. For instance, the percentage of households in the district without toilet facilities is still high. Safe and clean water supply has to be improved through the rehabilitation and development of new water sources. The treatment and disposal of solid and liquid waste requires further improvement.
6.1.8 Environment
The critical issues related to the environment in the district include land encroachment by seawater, destructive fishing, land degradation associated with uncontrolled quarrying and sand mining, and deforestation due to construction and fuel wood.
6.1.9 District council
The municipal council has to expand its revenue sources by exploring new potential sources and strengthen its revenue collection system in order to mobilize resources required to support improvement in the quality of services delivered to the community in the district. The other priority for the district council is to improve land use planning in order to ensure appropriate location of human settlements and areas for other uses such as agriculture.
