5. Project Justification
• Coast Region is one of the regions found in Tanzania,
East Africa. It is located about 50km West of Dar es
Salaam City lying between 38 and 420
E and 6 to 80
S. It
borders Tanga region to the north, Morogoro region to
the West, and Lindi region to the south. On the eastern
side, it boarders Dar es Salaam region and Indian
Ocean.
• The region is about 50m above sea level. The

C to 350
C. Maximum
annual rainfall averages at 700mm per annum in two
rain seasons and the area is generally hot and humid
through out the year.

6. Justification cont…
• The average income of the area dwellers is
less than a dollar per day that make it difficult
to meet cost of living.
• Most house holds are engaged in subsistence
agriculture that involve perennial crops like
mangoes, cashew, coconut, and pineapples.
• This kind agriculture practice creates an
environment favorable to mosquito
multiplication in the area.

7. Justification cont…
• The project area is highly characterized by
high water table and low land that is
susceptible to water logging during rainfall.
• The presence of Indian ocean, big rivers like
Wami, Ruvu and Rufiji increases rate of
mosquito breeding in the area.
• Population of the area is about 1m of which
54% are women and 12% under five, the
population that is highly vulnerable to
malaria.

8. Problem Statement
• Malaria is a killer disease in Coast region. Of the total
population of the region, 60% suffers from malaria in a
year. Almost 10% and 15% of pregnant women and
under five respectively dies of malaria in a year.
(Coast regional medical report, 2009)
