Tanzania's population

I became interested in Tanzania's situation because there are a lot of problems that needed to be solved. There is the mortality which is the death of children who are under the age of five, and this is considered as the fourth goal of eight goals that the government want to achieve. The solution is around the corner by the year of 2015. Isaac Maro, a doctor at muhimbili national hospital in Dar Es Salam says " We are far behind and I have my suspicions about whether the government is really keen to keep the deadline". Tanzania, population living in urban areas increased from 5 per cent in 1967 to 13 per cent in 1978, and from 21 per cent in 1988 to 27 per cent in 2002, and to avoid the increase population in urban area and decrease in others we should provide better service to the poor regions. In Tanzania they expect to experience sharp increase in population, also Tanzania's population will grow from 40 million today to 85 million by mid-century . Moreover they will also be living longer lives. Today's life expectancy ranging to 52.5 years in Tanzania. "The HIV/AIDS infection rate will help make eastern Africa the one of the fastest growing regions in the world" this report from the United Nation. Although they tend to live longer lives and increase in population but that do not mean their future will be happier. In addition they say " the relative youthfulness of East Africa societies contrast markedly with the ageing population of almost the entire developed world as well as parts of the developing world. There are also increase in the population because of greater availability of anti Aids drugs in Eastern African countries where this virus going around.
In Tanzania they want to reduce the child mortality which is the death of children who are under the age of five and it expected to be achieved by the year of 2015. This is considered the fourth goal of eight goals that the government want to achieve. They state this fact " Nationally, under five mortality in Tanzania rose from an average of 137 per 1000 live births in the period from 1992 to 1996 to 147 per 1000 live births in the period 1995 to 1999 according to the world organization" . To help Tanzania government to manage the country, the University of Rhode Island's Coastal Resources Center (CRC) was recently awarded a four-year, $800,000 grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development and The Coca-Cola Company.

I my paper I plan to write about Tanzania because there are a lot of problems which basically related to each other and as known in some regions of Africa the poverty is common although they have interesting kinds of resources and because of that I thought it is important topic and there are many organizations that help particular government to deal with their problems especially the increase or decrease in the population and that lead us to other problems such as the poverty and the lack of education.
I have found many articles that talk about various of factors that related to either the poverty or the population. I also knew some kind of diseases that happen in Africa and what the potential causes of it. In addition I think these kind of problems should be solved by many organizations
