Housing in Tanzania and Affordable Housing Provisions

Current housing situation in Tanzania is characterized with many challenges which call for collaborative efforts from many sectors.

It has been observed that low quality housing is prevalent in rural areas while the situation in urban areas is that of low quality houses for low income groups, inadequacy and scarcity of dwelling space hence overcrowding and inability to access descent housing because of income poverty. 

This paper highlights possible approaches to the challenge of provision of affordable housing in Tanzania. 

Furthermore, the paper underscores the importance of coordinated efforts among many service providers in housing delivery as the cornerstone of success in these efforts.
