1.0 PROJECT TITLE: DAM CONSTRUCTION AT MBABALA VILLAGE

1.1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Government of Tanzania has embarked on a major sector reform process since 2002. An
ambitious National Water Sector Development Strategy that promotes integrated water resources
management and the development of urban and rural water supply were adopted in 2006.
Decentralization has meant that responsibility for water and sanitation service provision has
shifted to local government authorities and is carried out by 20 urban utilities and about 100
district utilities, as well as by Community Owned Water Supply Organizations in rural areas.

These reforms have been backed by a significant increase of the budget starting in 2006, when
the water sector was included among the priority sectors of the National Strategy for Growth and
Reduction of Poverty MKUKUTA. The Tanzanian water sector remains heavily dependent on
external donors: 88% of the available funds are provided by external donor
organizations. Results have been mixed. For example, a report by GIZ notes that "despite heavy
investments brought in by the World Bank and the European Union, (the utility serving Dar es
Salaam) has remained one of the worst performing water entities in Tanzania.

Water shortage in Tanzania has been a problem for years now; the problem is even bigger in
rural villages. According to WHO, one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water in
Tanzania (WHO/UNICEF jmp, 2004). It has been well documented that water shortage has been
caused by population growth, high level consumption and climate change which has shrinked the
water resource.

Slightly more than half the population of Tanzania is estimated to have access to an improved
water source, with stark differences between urban areas (about 79% in 2010) and rural areas
(about 44% in 2010). In rural areas, access is defined as meaning that households have to travel
less than one kilometer to a protected drinking water source in the dry season. According to data
from the Household Budget Surveys 2000/2001 and 2007 access to an improved water source in
mainland Tanzania even decreased from 55% in 2000 to 52% in 2007. Using a narrow definition,
in 2007 around 34% of households had access to piped water, as opposed to 40% in 2000.

5|Page
However, using a broader definition of access that also includes standpipes and protected
springs, there has been a slight increase in the proportion of households reporting a drinking
water source within one kilometer. Access in rural areas stagnated, while in urban areas it
decreased from 94% to 79% over the same period. Water quality varies significantly within the
country in the semi-arid regions (including Dodoma, Singida, Tabora, Shinyanga, and Arusha),
colour and turbidity levels become problematic during the rainy season.

2.0 DODOMA MUNICIPAL PROFILE

Dodoma region is the capital city of Tanzania located at the center of the country, the town is
486km (302 ml) west of the former capital at Dar es saalam and 441km (274 mil) south of

3.0 PROJECT BENEFITS, RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATION

3.1 PROJECT SCOPE

Dam construction project will be located in Mabala “B’’ village at Mbabala Ward, 45km North
West of Dodoma municipal. The potential condition for the proposed project is presence of large
valley of about 2000 Acre at Chiteleche and Mwegamile harmlet, with impermeable rock and
low water percolation, also capable storing water throughout the year. The valley has two main
water streams as an inlet to the valley; it floods during rain season with higher surface run-off.
The catchment area of the valley is sufficient to store water throughout the year and capable
supplying water for all household of Mabala Village if harvested well; therefore the condition is
supportive for dam construction to this valley.
The proposed project expected to service about 1,094 household as a total number of household
of Mbabala “B” Village. The expected Dame to be constructed will be used for different
purposes like for domestic uses, Irrigation, bricks making, house construction and for livestock.
The proposed dam construction project which will be harvesting water from surface run-off will
be of 200m length and 30m depth which expected to have 847,800 M3 (volume) per year. The
main dam will be having three water points radiating from the major dam, to be constructed for
different purposes as one cofferdam will be for domestic uses, the second cofferdam will be for
livestock uses and the last for irrigation purpose.
Previously there some interventions taken by the government and other agencies like TASAF
toward solving the problem of water shortage in Mbabala ward like construction of large dam at
Nguji east hamlet and construction of tape water and wells in villages, but all interventions failed
due to failure of involving the community in development interventions (top-down approaches)
and use of low technology, which created a big problem of water shortage in Mbabala ward.
Being demand driven service based project prioritized by the community themselves during focal
group discussion, community meeting and through questionnaire, the community or villagers and
local leaders will be involved in all phases of the project to support success of the project, also
will contribute both material, labour and cash during construction and implementation of the
project which will create sense of ownership and capacity building for the future management of

7|Page
the project. Also user charge will be set based on household income of the communities for the
sustainability of the project at the future, where all farmers using water from the dam for
irrigation will be charged 5000 per month, pastoralist 500 per day and free for domestic users.
The project will be medium in size project, with capacity of handling Mbabala “B” village.
Establishment of the proposed project took into consideration the nature of demand and
population in the community, as shortage of water being a major problem at Mbabala ward and
main sources of under development, where with water people can self-employ on agricultural
activities, watering animal, drink, bath, uses for house construction and other domestic and
commercial activities. Construction of this project is the means of solving shortage of water and
the catalyst of socio-economic development as well as means of alleviating extremely poverty at
Mbabala ward.

3:2 PROJECT RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATION

Mbabala “B” village is among of the three villages of Mbabala ward in Dodoma municipal, it is
located 25km South West from Dodoma municipal, The village has five hamlet with total
population of 4,466 and 1,094 household (2012 census). The main activities of Mbabala “B” is
Agricultural activities of both food crop production and cash crop production, animal keeping,
also non-agricultural activities like small industries (craft), micro-business and social services
like school and health services.

The village is characterized by the presence of high population, agricultural activities, non-
agricultural activities, pastoralist, social services like school and health centers, small markets,
formal and informal institutions like religious and village office. Having this characteristics
shortage of water at Mbabala “B’’village is a big problem and major set-back toward attainment
of social-economic development to that village, where shortage of water contribute to peoples
migration to town, conflicts and delay of some government works to work to the village, hence
with enough and reliable water people can produce enough crops, watering animal, domestic
uses, cool machines, use at school and health center.

Presence of high population, fertile land mass, livestock, primary and secondary school,
Dispensary and other institutions in the village without availability of enough and reliable
sources of water is the challenge to the village, as it takes into account a several problems such
as hunger, poverty, Conflicts, death of animals, migration of peoples, time wastage for finding

8|Page
water, higher poor performances at school and health center. Majority of the population at the
village get water from private wells and are not safe and clean, they spend a lot of time to find
water as they found far, for the pastoralist it is a big challenge for watering their animal.

The level of poverty at Mbabala Ward is higher despite of people engaging in agriculture as their
backbone for the economy and small business as their major source of income for many years.
Problem of shortage of water to the village is the main contributing factor for under
development. Construction of the Dam project at Mbabala “B” village is expected to solve
problems that hinder socio-economic development and expected to raise household income at the
village as people at the village will access water from this dam for different purposes like
irrigation, watering animal and for domestic uses. Also will reduce rural-urban migration
especially youth migration to town as will settle in village engaging in various socio-economic
activities like agriculture, animal keeping and small business. The project will contribute to
nation income at large, provide employment to the people around the project as skilled and
unskilled labour will be employed to the project.

The criteria used for Selection of this project was based on the priorities from the villagers who
proposed water shortage in the village to be the main problem toward social-economic
development, hence due to this situation, this proposed project will be very important toward
solving the problem of water shortage to the village of Mbabala “B” village and bring social-
economic development.
