    The Impact of Population Growth in Zanzibar Economy
    (COSTECH, 2017-08) COSTECH
    Zanzibar Population Policy (2008) had noted that rapid population growth with low economic growth increases consumption, decreases investment and slows down the overall growth of national output by reducing the rate of capital formation. It also increases public spending on education, health and other public services (ZPP, 2016). The Policy further makes specific reference to the importance of sustainable development for all by creating synergy between population issues, resources, human settlements and environment. Over the past two decades, Zanzibar has recorded significant growth of the economy. Notable achievements have also been realised in specific areas; child mortality has declined, child marriage minimized, maternal services improved, GDP has increased, inflation maintained to single digit and an increase in life expectancy, among other achievements. That notwithstanding, Zanzibar is still challenged by a number of issues that are linked with population growth

    (Ministry of Information, Tourism and Heritage, 2018-11-23) Ministry of Information, Tourism and Heritage
    The study examined the socio - economic impacts in Mkamandume ruins to Pujini residences. The main instruments used in data collection were structured questionnaires administered to households and Focus Group discussions that were used to collect data from seven villages in Pujini. These villages include Kibaridi, Dodo, Tondooni, Kijili, Kumvini ,Mkamandume and Mtimbu respectively. The study also made direct observation to record important information related to the study. The study results showed that population around Mkamandume historical sites(ruins) have little knowledge in relation to historical sites, indeed they are less contributed in preserving the sites, the coordination team between the government and the community is less functioning and hence results the distortion of Mkamandume historical sites. While some people graze in different areas, others establish plots of farming. The findings also revealed that as population increases also socio economic activities are increasing in the areas as result land disputes and conflicts occurred within the community. In this regard therefore, the need to make comprehensive measures to preserve the sites is really obligatory for the betterment of community and nation at large.
