[11] The Municipal is located on an upland plateau with attractive stony hills like Imagi, Isanga, Mkalama, and Mlimwa, which is between 900 and 1000 meters above sea level.

Currently, Lazo, Kisasa, Ipagala, Mwangaza, Chidachi, Nkuhungu, and Chinangali are among the places without a consistent water supply.

Dodoma Municipality's economy is primarily dependent on agriculture, livestock raising, and a few tiny small-scale companies in the District.

The majority of farmers practice subsistence farming, which results in limited production and thus low revenue.

In rural wards of the Municipality, crop production is regarded as the most important economic activity and livestock raising as the second.

[22] Sunflower, Sesame seeds, groundnuts, tomatoes, and vine grapes are the main cash crops.

The Municipal Council urges farmers to grow crops that can withstand droughts, particularly cassava, sorghum, and bulrush millet.

Traditional farming methods that mainly rely on rain-fed, local farmers' knowledge and experience dominate agricultural production in the Municipality.

This is partly due to the use of subpar farming equipment, including hand hoes for tilling the soil.

Some people who live in Dodoma town have farms in Makutupora, Kibaigwa, and other far-off locations where maize is grown extensively.

The above-mentioned output volumes have made a considerable contribution to the creation of jobs and to Council revenues.

The residents of Dodoma Municipal Council are thought to earn an average of 170 US dollars a year.

Fisheries activities take place in the Hombolo dam, and fishing is done at a small scale by artisanal fishermen for the purpose of providing food and earning an income.

This was determined to be the result of the mass deforestation that is occurring in the Mpunguzi and Mbabala wards as part of a trend in the region.

[26] Deforestation has also been linked to the spread of settlement, the clearing of land for farming, and the harvesting of trees for charcoal and fuel.

[27] In addition to the Council's efforts, NGOs like World Vision Tanzania ADP, DONET, and DODEA have been advocating for tree planting in the region in order to preserve the ecology.

Some of them, such as MIGESADO, also promoted the adoption of better stoves to reduce the need for fuel wood and so enhance environmental preservation.

Drought and floods, both of which are characterized by accelerated run-off and dam failure, were frequent environmental dangers in the region.

[28] The government, non-governmental organizations, as well as an increasing number of commercial pharmacies and dispensaries, offer health services in the Dodoma Municipality.

To lower maternal and newborn mortality rates and control the spread of HIV infection and AIDS, the Municipal has mobile clinics that often operate during regional and national immunization campaigns.

Additionally, a special request in the amount of 1.5 billion TZS has been made in the budget for 2010–2011, along with the preliminary acquisition of land anticipated to be 8 hectares.

50 secondary schools are operated by the Dodoma Municipal Council, 36 of which are public or community-owned and 14 are private.
