Period of implementation: from [JULY] to [DECEMBER]

1. Brief background on the Organization

- Nzega District Council is one of the six Districts of Tabora Region and it is
located between 32030-33030’ longitudes East of Greenwich and latitude
3045-5000’ south of equator. The District borders Igunga district in the
east, Uyui District in the south, Kahama District in the west and
Shinyanga rural district in the north. It covers an area of 7,319 squares
Km out of these 3,352 KM 2 is an arable land and 1,180 Km 2 is a range
land. Area for game reserve is 939.98 Km 2 human habitant covers
411Km2, water, shrubs and hills occupies 1,404.2 Km 2 and 32Km2 for
minerals.

- Nzega District is divided into 4 Divisions, 37 wards and 167 villages.

Nzega District had a total population of about 582,583 as the result of the
national census carried out in 2012. The number of household is 97,097.

- Nzega District is characted by unimodal type of rainfall, which falls

between November to April an average rainfall is usually less than
700mm. rainfall are unreliable and they are unevenly distributed. A dry
spell normally occurs between January and February. Rainfall data for the
past 6 cropping seasons is shown below:-
Season Rainfall (mm) Rain day
2005/2006 595.00 61
2006/2007 939.84 58
2007/2008 823.00 47

2009/2010 616.44 44
2011/2012 464.00 36

From the poor rainfall, the district resulting in poor production of food hence
food insecurity.
Nzega district has been getting funds from WFP to the development projects
since 2001 to date as shown below:-

Though the government has been distributing food to the villages with shortage of food, did not fulfill the demand as the table shows.
Food deficit is greater compared to the food assisted by the government.
2. Needs of the population in targeted area according to priorities
In the process of O&OD conducted in the year 2008/2009 the specific goal
was food security and assurance of income. The main obstacle is moisture
insufficient. An opportunity is the charco dams that can be used for
harvesting rain water. The community set a goal of increasing availability of
water by rehabilitating of all charco dams in the District. Therefore one of the
strategies to achieve the goal is rehabilitation of charco dams found in the
District. The resources for implementation come from both internal sources
(community) and external sources that include DADPS, LGA and private
partnership

3. Other ongoing activities in the targeted area related to food security

and agricultural development
The planned activities of the actor in the District that relate to food
security/poverty reduction which link to this project are as follows:-
S/N Activities Actors
1. Rehabilitation of charco dams DADPS,TASAFF,World
vision
2. Construction of market access road TASAF
3. Supply of agriculture inputs Golden Pride Project
4. How far is the activity integrated into District/Ward/Village
Development Plans?
In the financial year 2013/2014 the DADPS budget has allocated Tshs.300,
290,000/= for implementation of following activities, Construction of
Irrigation infrastructure, purchase of power tiller, construction of Godown and
charco dams for horticulture and Livestock.
5. Scope of the activities proposed
The planned activities for financial year 2013/2014 are mainly divided into
four:-
- Rehabilitation/construction of eight charco dams
These charco if rehabilitated will solve the problem of insufficient
water/moisture for crop production and water for livestock
- Construction of market access road these will make easy transportation of
agriculture produce hence increase value of the crops and raise the
income of the beneficiaries.
- Sunflower cultivation this project will help a farmer to increase income
- Environmental conservation will help to control soil erosion, conservation
of water as well as improve air circulation.

5.1Project Locations
The proposal locations are as follows:-

1.1Strengthening of Wella II charco dam

This project is located in Igusule ward, Wella II village, Bukene Division in
Nzega District. The charco is an existence, was constructed in 1960’s since
the approach of implementation didn’t involve the beneficiaries, there was no
one who care about it. For this reason the charco silted because of various
community activities. Since the government realized this, has come with new
approaches which involve beneficiaries in all process of implementation. This
will bring a sense of ownership and sustainability.

1.2Sunflower Cultivation of Wella II

This project is located in Igusule ward, Wella II village, Bukene Division in
Nzega District. It is a new project due to the fact that, a big area of the
district is receiving a little amount of rainfall. People of this village decided to
select sunflower cultivation because of its tolerance to drought. If the project
be accepted will improve the income of the farmers. The plan is to cultivate
50 hectors which will benefit 100 household this being one acre for each
household. AT this village there is an extension officer for technical
assistance, the villagers will be sensitize to use cow dung and composite
manure for the good yield. The village has got a total of 830 household. So
the labour is not a problem.

1.3Construction of Ilalo Market Access road

This project is located in Igusule ward, Ilalo village, Buken division in Nzega
District. It is a new project if this project accepted, will link the Ilalo village
with their neighbors of Small Township Isaka, where they used to get there
essential needs. Also the transportation of agriculture produce will be easy
hence get high price. It is a 9 Km road.

1.4Sunflower Cultivation of ILalo

This project is located in Igusule ward, Ilalo village, Bukene Division in Nzega
District. It is a new project due to the fact that, a big area of the district is
receiving a little amount of rainfall. People of this village decided to select
sunflower cultivation because of its tolerance to drought. If the project be
accepted will improve the income of the farmers. The plan is to cultivate 100
hectors which will benefit 200 household this being one acre for each
household. AT this village there is an extension officer for technical
assistance, the villagers will be sensitize to use cow dung and compost
manure for the good yield. The village has got a total of 800 household. So
the labour is not a problem.
1.5Construction of Lakuyi charco dam
The project is located in Itobo ward and Lakuyi village,Mwakalundi Division. It
is in Nzega District just about 30 Km from Nzega town. It is a new project,
there is no land conflict since the area selected belongs to village government
if the project is accepted will assist to supplement water for irrigation at
Lakuyi irrigation scheme of which its source of water for irrigation is not
reliable.

1.6Rehabilitation of Kipungulu charco dam

The project is located in Mizibaziba ward in Kipungulu Village, Puge Division.
The charco was constructed in 2008 under the DADPS project. At the time of
construction of this charco the population was very small, but when the
construction was completed. It makes more people shift from other villages of
the District for the need of water for domestic and livestock uses. Due to this
fact the water is not sufficient hence there are needs to increase the depth as
well as the height of embankment in order to get more water.

1.7Rehabilitation of Ngukumo charco dam

This project is found in Nkiniziwa ward, Ngukumo village Puge Division. It is
about 40 Km from Nzega town. It is an existing project it was built in 2008
under DADP project since its construction there has been an increase of
people from other villages seeking water. Hence as in Kipungulu charco the
water is not enough. So there is high demand of water. So if this project will
be accepted will solve this problem, therefore there is a need to increase
water depth as well as strengthen the embankment.

1.8Rehabilitation of Uchama charco dam

The project if found in Uchama village, Ijanija ward, Nyasa division it is north
of Nzega town about 15 Km. It is an existing project, the charco was
constructed in 1950’s the period of chiefdom. In the el nino rains the charco
broken. Due t to its significant villagers of Uchama request for an assistance
to rehabilitate the broken portions and increase the height of embankment.

1.8Environmental conservation at Mbogwe

This project is found in Mbogwe village, Mbogwe ward, Nyasa Division it is
northeast of Nzega town about 15 Km. It is a new project aimed to conserve
a water of the charco which was constructed by WFP in 2011. It is impotent to
have trees around the charco as to minimize the erosion problems.

1.9Construction of Kasela charco dam

The project is found in Kasela village, Kasela Ward, Mwakalundi Division,
North West of Nzega town 30 Km from Nzega town. It is an existing project,
was constructed in 1960’s. Due to human activities the charco now is silted.
So there is now a need to desilt and strengthen the embankment as to the
request of the Kasela villages.

1.10 Construction of Mwambaha charco dam

The project is found in Mwambaha village, utwigu ward, Nyasa Division. It is
about 30 Km along Tabora road south west of Nzega town. It was
constructed in 1970’s by the farmers for the purpose of getting water for
livestock and domestic uses due to increase demand of water depth as well
as strengthening of the embankment.

1.11 Construction of Wella dam

The project if found in Wella village, Wella ward, Nyasa Division it is 40 Km
east of Nzega town. It is a new project the area is surveyed. The purpose of
this dam is to get water for irrigation and domestic uses. The villages are
highly in need of this dam.
5.2Activities proposed
The planned activities for the 2013/2014 are:
- Rehabilitation of eight charco dam’s this involves excavation,
Transportation and compacting of soil material to strengthen the charco
dam embankment. There is no land conflict for implementation of this
projects since the land is owned by the village government, so there will
be no any delay in implementation the area of this charco dam is surveyed
and its drawing available.

- Construction of market access road

Will involve bush clearing, formation of road embankment, excavation of
drains, soil excavation and gravel transportation. The District has a budget
of culverts about 12,000,000/= the culvert will protect the road being
washed by rains.

- Tree planting
Under this project it will involve excavation of holes, manuring and
watering. The trees are easily found in the District since within the District
there are growing who delt with tree nursery preparation. The types of
species expected to be planted are water as available all the time since
they are proposed is the one surrounding the charco.

- Sunflower cultivation
This will involve land preparation, cultivation, sowing, weeding and
harvesting. The project if indeed accepted will reduce poverty hence
promote income per household. At Ilalo village we have planned to have
200 household which will benefit from this project and the size of each
plot is one acre per household. At Wella II we have planned to have 100
household which will benefit from this project and the size of each plot is
one acre per household.
