Tanzania
Tanzania’s rapid rate of urbanization has resulted in a high proportion (60%) of people living in informal settlements. It is estimated that more than half of the population (55.40 to 63.12%) will live in an urban area by 2030. The drivers of rural-urban migration are employment opportunities and higher education, as well as rural youths being drawn to an urban lifestyle. To address nutrition and WASH challenges, the assessment findings identify gaps and opportunities to use evidence to inform action.
