2.1 Threats To This State Of Welfare 

 (i) Culture

Majority of people in the District drink alcohol that is locally processed.  They often use their annual yields (grains, banana and cassava) or spend their meager earnings on local beer instead of utilizing their income for improvement of social sources and development of productive activities.

 Unprotected Water Sources are after contaminated and therefore lead to water borne disease like typhoid etc.  Malaria is still la leading cause disease in the District. Other diseases are meningitis and HIV/AIDS which affect labor force of the District.  Animal disease cause serious animal losses due to none dipping of cattle, failure to carry out vaccinations etc to high costs of pesticides and other veterinary drugs.

(iii) Transportation

During rainy season, some roads are not passable which limit transport and transportation in some areas of the District.

(iv) TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES

Use of hand hoe to most of our farmers is a serious hindrance to the development of agricultural sector in particular and the nation at large.

(v) DEFORESTATION

In General with the exception of the impact of refugee’s influx in the District, there is a high rate of cutting trees due to high demand on fire wood and charcoal as a main source of energy for domestic use. However, shifting cultivation and bush fires contributes to the rate of deforestation.

On top of this, the District ability in urban area is to supply only 40% of the total demand.  In villages the condition becomes worse when other sources dry up.

Poor management of water sources has resulted into poor meeting of water demand in Rural areas due to the following factors:-

High demand of firewood to refugee camps resulted in cutting down of trees even those besides water sources.

Rapids population increase with limited water supply infrastructures.

Insufficient funds to manage implementation of new projects by rehabilitating the existing projects and manage the existing water plans.

To redress the circumstances, the following proposed projects need either material on financial support from development partners, NGOs and the Government as well.

3.1 CHALLENGES FACING THE COUNCIL IN GENERAL

 

High level of income property existing within the citizens of Kibondo with 256,156 per capital income evidenced per annum.

Presence of Refugees resulted into deforestation due to high consumption of fire wood, wood lots, poles and timber.

Low level of the Council Revenue.

The spread of HIV/AID was accelerated after the arrival of refugees (from 1.4% before to 2%).  Similarly.

Other diseases such as meningitis, typhoid and blood diarrheas

Demand for social services, facilities such as education, and water increased due to increased mortality Rate.

The National policies and sector policies are not adequately implemented.

Departure of NGOs and other international agencies and organization will adversely affect reliability and improvement of services provided to the community by these organizations.

 PROPOSED SOLUTION FOR OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES

High level of income poverty among the community requires some measures to be undertaken to rescue the situation by calling upon the participation of various stakeholders including international agencies.  Hopefully, if proper technology is used in agricultural sector, training provided and diseases controlled under any support production will rise and productivity increase; which in turn will increase Per Capital Income.

The threat of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases calls upon a joint or multi sector approach to tackle the problems so as to redress the existing statistics.  Here in, the support from a variety of the Nation, NGO’s, International agencies and organization have a great role to play.

The Government should speed up its intention for ensuring availability of        electricity and tarmac road from Kigoma to Nyakanazi as stipulated in the    ruling party election manifesto of 2005 and later retrieved in 2010.
