Temeke District, Dar es Salaam

Due to its location in Tanzania's tropical coastline region, Temeke Municipal Council is impacted by two key climatic factors: temperature and rainfall.

The entire year is marked by high temperatures, which range from 35 °C in January to March to 25 °C from June to August.

[7] Temeke Municipal's soil is frequently clayey and partially sandy, making it relatively unproductive for agricultural usage.

[8] Neogene clay-bound sands to hard sandstones make up Temeke Municipal's outcropping rocks and underlying (semi-)consolidated formations.

In the central and southern regions of Municipal, terrace sands and sandstones of the Quaternary System are more prevalent.

Only 85.634 cubic meters per day, or 68.1% of the total needed amount, are produced at the moment as part of the water supply.

The Mtoni water treatment plant and drill holes jointly produce roughly 6.5 million gallons each day in the metropolitan regions.

Boreholes in rural regions and streams in certain places yield a total of roughly 0.7 million gallons daily.

Only five (5) of Temeke Municipal Council's 23 wards—Chang'ombe, Mtoni, Kurasini, Tandika, and Temeke—have private contractors that collect and transport rubbish to the landfill in Pugu Kinyamwezi on a regular basis.

[13] Temeke Municipal is located along the Central Railway Line and TAZARA Railway Line, which operate from Dar es Salaam Port and serve the nation as well as the seven (7) bordering nations of Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Rwanda, and Burundi.

As final destinations for the railways, Kigoma, Mbeya, and Mwanza—both of which border the neighboring nations of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi, and Kenya—could also be useful for the transportation of bulk goods.

Given that the Municipal relies on the National Grid for its energy source, power outages are somewhat frequent as a result of low water levels in the hydroelectric dams.

[16] In Temeke Municipal, paddy, cassava, sweet potatoes, maize, pigeon peas, cowpeas, vegetables, and fruits are the primary food crops grown.

Extension officers oversee the 200 hectares of irrigation farming practiced by small holders in Temeke Municipality.

Temeke Municipal is connected to Dar es Salaam's city center as well as the central areas of Morogoro, Dodoma, Singida, Tabora, Mwanza, and Kigoma by the TRC infrastructure's railway line.

Since so many commodities from southern Tanzania are transported to the city for sale, the rise in flour milling businesses will encourage farmers and businesspeople to raise the price of their goods.

The timbers (raw materials) are acquired from locations other than Temeke and Dar es Salaam, but there is sufficient supply.

Over 1,000 casual workers are employed in the sector, and some businesspeople are involved in the sale of lumber in the municipal market.

[23] The largest officially designated protected area is a mangrove forest in the municipal spans 380 hectars and is located in Temeke District in the Kurasini, Kijichi, and Mbagala Mtoni Ward.

The Temeke Municipality is where the yearly big promotional event hosted by the Board of External Trade is situated along Kilwa Road.

To lead Tanzania's export efforts, the Board of External Trade, a government entity, was founded by Act No.

Over the years, the Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair has solidified its position as the showcase for goods from East, Central, and Southern Africa as well as Tanzania.

As shown in figure 8 below, there are presently 52,161 pupils enrolled in the Municipal (in both private and public schools), with 25,347 boys and 26,814 girls.
