The Household Budget Survey (HBS) report for 2019/2020 was released by the office of the chief government statistician (OCGS) in May painting the poverty reduction agenda on different levels, as the tool collected information pertaining to private households’ economic activities, household income and expenditure, housing characteristics and expenditure. 

The HBS report argued that the 2019/20 HBS helped in evaluating Zanzibar’s performance concerning the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as regional development strategies.  

Zanzibar is the semi-autonomous region of the United Republic of Tanzania, made up of two isles, Pemba

and Unguja, inhabited by more than 1.7 million people. The archipelago is dominated by two main economic operations, agriculture and services, particularly the tourism service industry.  

Nonetheless, production remains very low, and this is true for most other parts of the continent as well. Even though Africa has some of the world’s largest water bodies and is surrounded by the Atlantic on the West and the Indian Ocean on the East, the Mediterranean Sea in the North and the merging of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans to the South, the continent contributes only a small percentage of the global fish supply. 

Tanzania is looking to change this fact. Following a presidential order to boost fish production, the country is embarking on a gigantic project to harvest 12 tonnes of fish per month.  Undertaken by the country’s National Service (military branch) the project is expected to also produce more than 200,000 fish seeds.
