| dc.description | Tanzania is coastal country of Eastern Africa endowed with important land and water resources that has a high agricultural potential. Agriculture is a key sector of Tanzania’s economy, as it accounts for 45% of GDP and is the source of livelihood for more than three-quarters of the population. The majority of the population is still rural although urbanization increased in the last three decades to reach 38%. Currently the rate of urbanization is slowing down. The population is very young, as 43 % of Tanzanians are below 15 years of age. Life expectancy, now 46 years on average, has decreased in the past 20 years, probably due to increasing HIV/AIDS prevalence, which affects around 7% of the adult population. | |
