SECTION ONE: BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
The 2014 Socio-Economic Survey Report is another series of annually survey conducted by
Office of the Chief Government Statistician containing data for socio-economic status for the
trend of five years 2010 to 2014. The report provides an insight into the country‟s economic
performance and impact of social services. These results will provide a better understanding
of the cause and impact of socio-economic initiatives in Zanzibar.
The purpose of this survey was to collect annual statistical information that will be used not
only for the budget preparation process but also as tools for the future development plans.
Furthermore, the results for the 2014 economic survey are essential for monitoring and
evaluation of the projects and programmes, specifically Zanzibar Strategy for Growth and
Reduction of Poverty (ZSGRP) in its Swahili acronym (MKUZA). The main sources of
statistical information covered in this report were Government institutions, Union institutions,
and private sectors operating in the Zanzibar territory.
1.2 Objectives
The overall objective of the economic survey was to collect and compile socio-economic data
to be used in the evaluation of socio-economic performance of the year 2014, and for the
planning process for the year 2015. Other objectives are:
 To have a benchmarking data on all socio-economic sectors of the country
 To provide information which will be used to monitor the broadest trend in a national
economic performance
 To provide aggregate sectoral information on production of goods and services from
the economy
 To provide socio-economic indicators used for monitoring and evaluation for Zanzibar
Strategy Growth and Reduction of Poverty (ZSGRP ) and Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs)
 To remain as a main source of socio-economic data
1.3 Methodology and Coverage

The data collection for the 2014 socio-economic survey started earlier on December 2013 and
took about four months before its completion. The reference period of the information
1
collected is a calendar year, that is January to December, 2014. However, for some data and
other financial information, fiscal year, that is July 2013 to June 2014 was used as a reference
period.
Data were collected from both public and private sectors operating in Zanzibar through filled
questionnaires, emails and personal visit to the source by OCGS staff. Data for the year 2014
are marked with letter „p‟ means that they are still provisional and are subject for an update.

SECTION TWO: ECONOMIC STATISTICS
2.1 National Accounts Estimates
The Gross Domestic Products (GDP) represents the total market value of goods and services
produced in the country for the reference year after deducting the cost of goods and services
used in the process of production known as intermediate consumption. The 2014 GDP
estimates incorporate a major revision that was made through rebasing process by changing
the base year from 2001 to 2007. These revisions led to changes in GDP at current prices from
1,849.9 in 2013 to 2,133.5 billion TZS in 2014. The constant GDP growth rate is 7.0 per cent
in 2014 compared to 7.2 per cent in 2013. The growth rate of the major sectors namely
Industry and Services grew up by 6.0 and 9.8 percent respectively while Agriculture, Fishing
and Forest declined by 0.4 percent (Table 2.1.5). The per capita GDP went up from TZS
1,384,000 in the year 2013 to TZS 1,552,000 in the year 2014 equivalent to US Dollar of 866
in 2013 to 939 in 2014. The National Accounts estimates are presented in detail from table
2.1.1 to 2.1.8

2.2 Real Statistics
2.2.1 Consumer Price Index
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the average percentage changes over time
(between two time periods) in the prices of a ”basket” of consumer goods and services
acquired by households (the market basket). Zanzibar CPI measures price changes of
household expenditure from one period to the next while the market basket is based on
2009/10 Household Budget Survey.
Consumer Price Index is a very important indicator that guides decision-makers on national
developments and in particular it provides a yardstick for resource allocation in the society. In
addition Consumer Price index has the following uses:
 To formulate fiscal and monetary policies
 To adjust consumer's income payments
 To make economic decisions
 As a deflator in National Account estimates.
 As indicators of purchasing power of money
 To adjust currency values.
The headline Inflation rate measures Inflation rates when all items in the fixed basket are
included. The Annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) from 2010 to 2014 by twelve divisions and
its weights is based on Classification of Individual Consumption According by Purpose
(COICOP) (Table 2.2.1.1). In 2014 the movement of overall index increased to 109.2 from
103.4 reported in 2013. Food index increased to103.9 in 2014 from 99.5 in 2013, while non-
food index increased to 115.1 in 2014 from 107.8 in 2013. Movement of the overall inflation
rate in Zanzibar for the last two years has shown to be oscillating (Table 2.2.2.2). For
example, in 2014 inflation was 5.6 compared to 5.0 per cent in 2013.
The average annual inflation rate for 2014 is 5.6 compared to 5.0 reported in 2013, this result
implies that the average prices of goods and services during the period under review were
higher compared to prices reported in 2013 where average annual food is 1.8 percent and
average non-food inflation rate is 8.5 while in 2014 annual food inflation was 4.4 and non –
food inflation was 6.8. The 2009/10 HBS adjusted non- institutional expenditure revealed that
51.6 of households‟ budget were spent on food consumed at home and at restaurant. The main
non - food items in the market basket were household‟s utilities (17.1 per cent), clothing (9.3
11
per cent) and transport (6.3 per cent). The overall total household expenditure for non-food
items is 48.4 per cent where education and health have 1.3 per cent and 2.8 per cent
respectively.

2.2.2 Tourism Statistics
Zanzibar tourism has been an instrument in socio-economic development of the Country, due
to the commitment and careful planning of the Zanzibar government, the tourism sector has a
potential to greatly contribute to the strengthening of the fundamentals of the economy to

Tourist arrivals refer to persons who are non-Tanzanian residents entering Zanzibar using any
of the two formal entry points namely Airport and Seaport. The international tourists
registered for the year 2014 reached 311,891 arrivals which is a very huge increase compared
to 181,301 arrivals recorded in 2013. This incline is due to the increase of the data collection
coverage whereby tourist arrivals that were coming by domestic flights from different areas of
Tanzania Mainland were previously uncovered. In 2014, The Department of Immigration in
collaboration with Zanzibar Commission for Tourism and The Office of Chief Government
Statistician have started collecting the data for the tourists who entered Zanzibar by domestic
flights from Tanzania Mainland. Even if the arrivals for domestic flights would be excluded,
the number of arrival in 2014 still remains to be the highest to be recorded.
14
About 34.7 percent of all arrivals entered Zanzibar through Airport by international flights,
31.9 percent by domestic flights and the remaining 33.4 entered through Seaport.

61.4 percent for the total arrivals. Tourist arrivals from Italy continued to be a leading market
for the European and other Continents. Italians was representing 23.1 percent for the
European market. The performances in tourist arrivals noted from other European countries:

Poland 1.7 percent, Czech Republic 1.3, Spain 3.7 percent and other European countries 9.3
percent. Russia and Czech Republic recorded the least number of tourist arrivals from
European continent.
Tourist arrivals from Asia reached 25,279 which represented 8.1 percent of total tourist

The majority of the tourist arrivals (28 percent) were in the age group 25-29 and 30-34 years,
while those aged 65+ tourists (senior citizens) has recorded a lower of about 6.1 percent. This
implies that there is a need to attract the senior group as they have ample time for leisure and
high disposable income. In order to attract the senior tourists, the Government should improve
infrastructure like road and airport services and other facilities to cater for this market
segments.
Generally, females have dominated the tourist arrivals in which on average females
constituted 51.4 percent while males represented 48.6 percent. Within males, those aged 30-
34 years have dominated by accounting 15.4 percent of all male arrivals followed by those
who were in the age group 25-29 years (13.9 percent). In the case of females, the trend
reversed compared to that of males, the age group 25-29 took the leading which is equal 15.5
percent followed by those who were in the age group 30-34 which are representing 13.3
percent.

Tourist Arrivals by Purpose of Visit
Table 2.2.2.7 shows that the majority of tourists arrivals (83.8 percent) came in Zanzibar for
leisure/holidays followed by those who were visiting friends and relatives representing (4.7
percent). Business and conference arrivals recorded a minimal of only 1 percent. This
indicates that Zanzibar has no big and standard conference centres for conducting
international conferences. Thus, Zanzibar Revolutionary Government in collaboration with
tourism investors should establish and improve international conference centres and make
sure that the centres have all important conference facilities.
The category „others‟ includes those who came for voluntary activities and those who were
not listed in the table below. About 9.6 percent of the arrival did not respond in this question.

2.2.3 Trade Statistics
Trade statistics provide brief explanation of flows and directions of imports and exports.
This exercise also provides statistics on imports and exports which form a valuable
component of a country‟s statement of economic transactions in the national accounts and
balance of payments. Trade Statistics that are accurately detailed and timely delivered have
always been a priority as they are vitally important for the planning and future development
of Zanzibar.
This chapter contains international trade statistics and interstate trade statistics which show
imports and exports trend for the years 2010 to 2014. These statistics are compiled from
declarations forms filled by importers and exporters at the Customs Office of Tanzania
Revenue Authority (TRA).
International Trade Statistics

International trade statistics measure the value and quantity of goods traded between Zanzibar
and the rest of the world. They are the official harmonized source of information about
imports, exports and trade balance between import and export. Data on international trade are
compiled as per the recommendations of the United Nations General Trade System
(UNGTS). According to this system, all goods entering and leaving the national frontier,
including trading activities of the Freeport Zone should be accounted for.
Total Value of Trade and Trade Balance

Total value of trade represents an addition value for both import and export while balance of
trade represents a difference in value for import and export for a country. A country
demonstrates a demand for an import when domestic quantity demanded exceeds domestic
quantity supplied, or when the price of the good or service on the world market is less than
the price on the domestic market. The country experiences trade deficit if import value is
always higher than export value. Total international trade for the year 2014 was valued at
Tanzanian shillings 413,140.5 million, increased by 39 percent from the previous year.
For the year 2014, total exports amounted to Tanzanian shillings 133,587.7 million which is
52 percent higher than in 2013, and imports amounted to Tanzanian shillings 279,552.8
34
million higher by 34 percent compared with 2013; thus resulting in a trade deficit of
Tanzanian shillings 145,965 million that is 21 percent higher than in 2012.

For the five year trend 2010 to 2014, figure 3.8 shows that there is an increasing import value
from 2010 to 2012 and dropped in 2013, however import value increased from 2013 to 2014.
Rapidly increasing of import value will cause trade deficit if the value of export dropped in
every year. In case of export value, it shows that values are increasing from year to year.

Export
In international trade, "exports" refer to selling goods and services produced in the home
country to other markets. An export of goods occurs when there is a change of ownership
from a resident to a non-resident. Total export proceeds for the year 2014, including export of
goods locally grown or produced (unprocessed), amounted to Tanzanian shillings 133,587.7
million, showing increase of 52 percent over the previous year 2013.
Exports by section
Table 2.2.3.2 shows section of „vegetable products‟ which include cloves, seaweeds, copra,
clove stem and other products for the year 2014 amounted to Tanzanian shillings 103,979.2
million indicating an increase of 37 percent over the year 2013. Vegetable products section
contribute almost 77 percent of total export in 2014 followed by „prepared foodstuff,
beverages & tobacco‟ section contributing 10 percent.
The trend shows section of vegetable products contributed at higher percent than others in
both years. The reason is that export of cloves and seaweeds are being positioned in this
section; these are the highest cash crops in Zanzibar.

Forestry Products
Forest resource is managed by Department of Forestry and Non-Renewable Resources; it
managed forests plantations, mangrove forest and natural forests found in the territory
Zanzibar. The natural forest consists of a mosaic of vegetations ranging from short coral
bushes and thickets to higher, closed forests. Forest is also the home of different species of
medicinal significance, some with ornamental value, and others available for a multitude of
uses. Forest in Zanzibar is also a source of foreign exchange through ecotorism the most
common forest visited by tourism are Jozani National Park and Ngezi forest reserve.
Besides the tangible and intangible economic benefits of forest sector the data presented in
this section reflect only to information on forest products that harvested from different forest
area on public land and government plantation; whilst the Department authorised a special
transport permit to reserve royalty. These forests produce includes beams, building pole, fire
wood, charcoal etc.
Table 2.3.1.5 shows different forest products harvested in public land and forest plantations
in Zanzibar territory. The data show that there is increasing for some forest products and
decreasing for the year ending 2014 compared in 2013. The total quantity of Beams (boriti)
and Building Poles (Nguzo) has been increased from 1,618.2m3 and 3,422m3 recorded in
2013 to 2,215.4m3 and 4360m3 in 2014 equivalent to increase of 37percent and 27percent
respectively. Charcoal production, Firewood (Kuni) and Building Poles (Mapau) have show
negative growth compared in 2013, the products have been decreased from 2,122tons,
19,067m3 and 4,952.7m3 presenting decrease of one percent, 2percent and 10 percent
respectively. Similar trend has been observed for Withes (Fito) of which decreased from
3,475m3 recorded in 2013 to 3,232m3 in 2014 equivalent to decrease of 7percent.
The increased of quantity for Beams (boriti) and Building Poles (Nguzo) were due to
increasing in harvest of communal wood lots of which Casuarinas species (Mivinje) are
dominant species. Contrary, the decrease in quantity of Charcoal, Firewood and Building
Poles was due to increasing of deforestation in coral rag forest where by most of the products
are found.

SECTION THREE: SOCIAL STATISTICS
3.1 Education Statistics
The statistics presented in this section covers primary, secondary and tertiary education.
It includes enrolment, number of schools, number of teachers, and other key education
indicators. The indicators discussed build a trend from 2010 to 2014. Education services
in Zanzibar are provided through different levels. These include pre-primary education,
primary education, secondary education and tertiary education. The primary education is
a six years education cycle after pre-primary. It is compulsory to all children from the age
of six years. The formal secondary education consists of two sequential cycles. The first
phase is a four year ordinary level (Form I to Form IV).The second phase is a two year
program of advanced level (Form V to Form VI).Currently the Government of Zanzibar
provides free education for all citizens from standard 1 to form 2. In accordance with the
2006 Education Policy, the government is transitioning to system of compulsory
education from pre-primary until Form 4. Currently Zanzibar is partway through the
transition to the new education system. Access at the pre-primary level is being increased
and initiatives are being taken to increase the transition rate from Form 2 to Form 3 to
enable the introduction of four years of compulsory secondary education. Education data
are collected by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training Zanzibar.
Zanzibar has made significant progress in increasing the number of students attending
basic education. There has been a 10.4% increase in Primary education in the past 5
years, from 226,812 students in 2010 to 253,152 students in 2014. At Ordinary
Secondary level (Form 1 - Form 4) enrolment has been roughly stagnant, falling by 0.4%
from 80,008 students in 2010 to 79,662 students in 2014. Moving beyond basic education
progress has been less positives with a 54% decrease in enrolment at this level between
2010 and 2014. At all levels of education, excepting the pre-primary level, the
government is the dominant education provider. Increase in enrolment has been
complimented by investments in school infrastructure and the capacity of teachers
training institutions. The number of government schools offering either primary or
secondary education increased from 392 in 2013 to 407 in 2014. For private schools there
was an increase from 94 in 2013 to 99 in 2014.
71
Tertiary Education
In 2014, Zanzibar had total of 3 universities, 3 training colleges and 7 institutions. This
reflects that the number of institutions and universities has remained the same since 2010
in both Public and Private Colleges and universities
Pupil Teacher ratio is the number of pupils (students) per teacher at a specific level of
education in a given school year. This is a very important ratio as it shows the strength of
student-teacher-contact hours. The higher the ratio the less student-teacher-contact hours
and hence there is less student-teacher consultations. It also means that there is higher
teaching load to teachers and they lose the required time to effectively supervise
students‟ work. The teacher student ratio is therefore among the important indicators of
quality of education. The data shows that Students teacher ratio for both public and
private from 2013 to 2014 was 26 students per teacher for each year.
The result for education statistics are mainly presented from table 2.1.1 to table 2.1.27 the
data shows that the number of primary public schools which offers basic education

primary rose by 7 schools from 2013 to 2014 which indicate the increased of 13 percent

secondary schools decreases from 15 schools in 2013 to 10 schools in 2014 as compared
to the number of technical colleges, business biased schools and universities which
remain constant.
The total students enrolment in public schools (STDI) decrease from 35,703 pupils in
2013 to 35,535 pupils in 2014, so this represents an decrease by 0.5 percent or 168
pupils.
