INVESTOR’S INSATIABLE THIRST FOR TREES IS ‘KILLING’ MAFIA ISLAND In 1995, Mafia Island received money from the world wildlife Fund for Nature to create a natural marine wildlife Centre. Further efforts were made to maintain the ecosystem and ensure that the small island’s environment was not destroyed, jeopardizing the lives of the few occupants. But those efforts are now threatened by a private firm which, in the name of investment, has installed power in Mafia. This should traditionally be good news for residents of the secluded district, which is not connected to the national power grid. But the factory uses logs to produce the much-needed electricity. And this is where the problem lies. At full capacity, the factory consumes about 70 tonnes of logs per day.

supply, this kind of electricity is far too expensive for the island since it threatens its existence. It is still not clear how the 40,000 residents of the Island will survive without trees when they are surrounded by sea.

Special Circumstances.

In planning how it wants to provide social services to the people of Mafia, the government should take into consideration the fact that Mafia Is subject to special circumstances and it will have to think creatively to sort out matters. It is shocking that this investor. It is just a matter of time before the project runs out of trees to fell- and the investor will have to look elsewhere for logs.

Besides, did the government not promise to provide Mafia people all the social services they needed? If the answer is yes, expense should not be an issue because the government is duty-bound to provide social services to the people, regardless of where they live. Some youth form Mafia, in the company of their Member of Parliament, Mr. Abdularim Shah, spoke at press conference last week warning of the deteriorating situation. Why did the authorities licence the investor knowing full well that the technology to be used in producing the power was not environment friendly? Worse still, why has the government not taken any action after residents complained? It was government inaction that drove the youth to travel to Dar Es Salaam to meet journalist and state their case. In September last year, the then deputy minister for Energy and Minerals, Mr. Charles Kitwanga, declared before Mafia residents that the government intended to connect the island to the national grid. And he also spoken of alternative sources of electricity in the islets where it would be impossible to extend the power network.

This means it is just a matter of time before the project runs out of trees to fell-and the investor will have to look elsewhere for the logs to keep the factory running. At this rate, it will not be long before the trees on the 800 square kilometer island are depleted. What the future holds for people on Mafia in these circumstances is pretty obvious. What baffles the mind is why government institutions should license a company to undertake a project the endangers the further of the island and its people. Though Mafia needs a reliable power

Has been licensed to operate a factory that uses logs when, only a few days ago, we heard a minister Issue an order in parliament that all factories that use logs as a source of energy should stop doing so. In this era of science and technology, there are other alternative means to produce power which would not harm the environment and leave the island safe. There is a possibility of producing power using wind or ocean waves. The technology may seem expensive but what the power that is produced would do for the people of Mafia would offset the production costs.

But now, instead of implementation of these plans, we hear of an investor who has reportedly been threatening the existence of the island and its people. The government should move quickly to close this factory. All those involved in licensing the factory should then be held to account. They should tell us why they licensed such a dangerous investment. Taking action now will, moreover, serve as a lesson for others who might be tempted to cut corners.

AFRICA’S NEXT MEGACITY?

Property International Magazine

PI. Issue no. 6, March

2015

In the 19th century, Mzizima (Kiswahili for “healthy town”) was a coastal fishing village on the periphery of Indian Ocean trade routes. Over years, this place has transformed into a bustling Dar res Salaam which people know today.

ith a population of about 4.5 million people whose growth is pegged at 5.6 percent according to data collected between 2002 and 2012, Dar es Salaam is named among the fastest growing cites in the world. But there is a catch to that. Projects by some experts show that by 2050, there will be more people living in urban centres than in rural areas. This means plans need to be put in place to ensure the cities are efficient. As population grows, social services and infrastructure have not been improved to be able to keep up with the rapid development and population growth, leading to sprawl, growth of informal settlements, congestion, flooding, and creating constraints to the business environment. The fact that Dar es Salaam is the fastest growing city has made some visionaries envisage it as a modern metropolis. But the fact that there is no better planning for the growth, has heightened fears by pessimists of the emergence of another dirt-poor city of slums. Yes, Dar es Salaam is one of the world’s fastest growing cities, and it has reached its tipping point. But the worry is that to great extent this transformation has been happening without proper plans. According to experts there is no turning back for Dar esc Salaam. Therefore, intervention such as the World Bank’s 300m US dollars (about 500bn/-) credit for the new Dar es Salaam Metropolitan Development Project (DMPD), is, but a welcome gesture. According to World bank, the credit from highly concessional International Development Association (IDA) will enable DMPD to improve services directly for 1.9m residents and indirectly, for the city’s overall population of the sprawling city. According to Ardhi University lecturer, Nimrod Mushi, the Tanzania’s main commercial and capital city has gone 20 Property International Magazine

years without any guidance on planning, and now ‘badly needs a master plan.’ As a result of lack of proper planning, the government did virtually nothing as the population surged from roughly two million two decades ago to well over four million today. Projections show that the population will hit eight million in 20 years, creating a gigantic challenge to the planners. Their only rescue is to act, and act quickly, now. Mr Mushi is one of the experts commissioned by the government to produce a ‘master plan’ to overhaul the city’s infrastructure. He took Singapore as his role model and he favours big projects to clear slums and build bridges, roads and out-of-town settlements. Therefore, to Mr Mushi, DMPD is a move towards right direction. “When we went to Singapore, we could see their satellite towns, their ring-roads, their skyscrapers and their decentralised services, and it’s working very nicely there,” he says. Whereas others are frightened over the ‘unplanned’ population growth in a number of African cities including our own Dar es Salaam, optimists regard this as a good omen. The Africa Development Bank (AFDB) chief economist, Trevor Ncube, is one of people who sees cities growth in Africa presents a very good opportunity. He points out that the rise, which is associated with Africa’s endowment in

natural resources, will offer the cities an opportunity for economic growth and will increase demand for services. “Future growth will be supported by this population boom… the urbanisation is driving the emergence of the middleclass,” he says. According to World bank Country Director, Ms Philippe Dongier, IDA credit will improve key services to address flooding, urban mobility, and basic infrastructure in low-income communities. “DMDP will improve the capacity of local governments to better plan and proved services, while focusing on the growing need to adopt a metropolitan approach to addressing the regions challenges,” she says. But it is not the government and World Bank alone who have been implementing strategies to beautify Dar es Salaam. Other entities, such National Social Security Fund (NSSF), PSPF Public Service Pension Fund, National Housing Corporation (NHC) and few firms which have been in a way helping in improving infrastructure in and around Dar es Salaam. There are a number of institutions which have started to establish wellplanned satellite cities. This could, in the long term, offer a solution to the often overcrowded and overburdened city and town centres. A number of projects are already in the cards and once they are

completed they will definitely change the look of cities like Dar es Salaam and Arusha. What these stakeholders have been doing is in line with recommendations by the United Nations. Slum clearance would be vital to any regeneration project. It would involve rehousing possibly hundreds of thousands of people, and the extra headache of clarifying the legal status of the land that has often passed down through generations of families without any legal paperwork. It is unfortunate that authorities do not have a great record with such projects. Some 600 families had their homes destroyed by floods a few years ago. The government promised to rehouse them, but sadly, most are still living in temporary shelters or have been left to fend for themselves.

KEY FINDING

 Rapid unplanned urbanization in Dar es Salaam has led to flood risk in many informal settlements, with a wide range of associated health and other problems for residents.  Disaster risk management has not been addressed and needs to be integrated in all aspects of urban planning in Dar es Salaam.  The ecological and hydrological role of wetlands is not well understood or incorporated in urban development planning.  The sustainability of infrastructure development initiatives and their maintenance is poor.  Coordination among local stakeholders is needed.  Industries need to be relocated away from residential areas and will require access to a waste stabilization pond.  Awareness‐raising programs are needed at the community practices. level for improved sanitation.

Salim Kikeke

LIVING THE DREAM

‘The first male Swahili TV presenter for an international news organisation.’ Q: WHAT INFLUENCED YOU TO

CHOOSE THIS CAREER?

A: I believe that I was born to become a

journalist. From a very young age,

I had started recording myself at home, pretending to read news using text from newspapers. Sometimes I would interview my sister, or my younger brother. Although it was ‘child play’ but it somehow shaped my skills. I was always intrigued by radio presenters, even though I had never been into a radio studio, I had pictured it in my head by simply listening to radio, and it was exactly as I had imagined it, when I first set foot in a proper studio- and it felt like heaven. I looked up to Ali Saleh from the BBC Swahili and Salim Seif Nkamba from Radio Tanzania and enjoyed listening to them for hours. The person who actually introduced me into radio was my mother. She used to listen to the BBC, she was a news junkie and I found myself hooked. I would give all the credit to her for nurturing me into who I am today personally and professionally.

Q: WHAT DID YOU DO TO GET

WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

A: Three things- Hard work, hard work

always something new I can learn from somewhere or someone. After saying that, a bumpy ride would be a bit harsh to describe my long journey to where I am right now, but it wasn’t smooth either. There have been a lot of challenges along the way and I have faced them with persistence, patience and determination. But looking at things into the last detail is quite important.

Q: WHAT HURDLES DID YOU COME ACROSS?

A: I don’t believe in hurdles, I see them as

challenges that we have to come across

in order to have a better understanding of things. And there have been quite a lot, but they have made me a better person in looking at things in different perspectives.

Q: WHAT’S YOUR DREAM ? A: I’m actually living the dream. I am the

first male Kiswahili TV presenter for an

international news organisation. Hosting BBC Dira ya Dunia is a dream come true and connecting with audiences across Africa because of this.

Q: WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS TIME?

CHALLENGES OF FACILITY MAINTENANCE IN TANZANIA

A lot can, however, be learned from the International Facility Management Association.

espite decades of evolution of building infrastructure design, construction and maintenance in Tanzania, the country is still faced with a myriad of fundamental problems and challenges in the industry especially, in the facility maintenance business of building infrastructure. The challenges can be grouped into the following broad categories namely: Socio-cultural; technical; and economic challenges.

Socio-cultural challenges This is one of the most critical challenges to effective facility maintenance of building infrastructure in Tanzania. It is known that Tanzanians like other African countries generally have a poor maintenance culture. This has contributed immensely to the prevailing neglect of facility maintenance of building infrastructure in the country. It is seen as a waste of enterprise to spend resources maintaining a building unless significant malfunctioning of any of its components occurs. There are several technical challenges that have affected effective facility maintenance of building infrastructure in Tanzania. These technical challenges include: Building flaws; errors during construction; poor defect diagnostic ability and limited technical knowledge; weak standards and poor enforcement of standards; and poor quality of building materials. Poorly designed buildings are more expensive to maintain. Besides, typical building designs in Tanzania usually do not incorporate human factors engineering and maintenance considerations. This partly explains why it is only realized after a building has been put to use that some aspects of the maintenance can only be executed at a relatively high cost due to poor human factor engineering design e.g. suspension of lighting fitting at an elevation that requires a scaffold or mobile lift for its maintenance, installation of the condenser of a split unit air conditioner in a multi-storey building high up the external walls of the building without any access to the condenser from inside the building.

These design flaws makes facility maintenance to be expensive with much higher resource requirements and could discourage the execution of maintenance activities. In addition, sustainability factors (which ensure that the functionality of the built environment can be maintained) are hardly taken into consideration during building design in Tanzania. This has also contributed to increase facility maintenance cost of building infrastructure in Tanzania thus discouraging its practice. Secondly, errors during building construction such as poor supervision and unauthorized changes in design during the building infrastructure often distorts facility maintenance elements of the design thus making the execution of the later after commissioning to be cumbersome. Thirdly, poor defect diagnostic ability and limited technical knowledge of practitioners. This is attributed by the fact that facility management practice in Tanzania is still at its infancy stage of development. We note that there are very few professional facility managers and facility management companies in Tanzania a scenario that has not made things any better. Consequently, the required defect diagnostic skill as well as overall technical knowledge for effective facility maintenance of building infrastructure is still lacking amongst many people currently involved in facility management practice of building infrastructure in Tanzania.

Fourthly, the weak standards and poor enforcement of standards in Tanzania is a key technical challenge. Tanzaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building codes and laws are weak and needs improvement especially in the areas of human factors engineering and the incorporation of facility maintenance elements in building design. Improvements in the building codes and standards needs to made and also dutifully enforced especially during building construction. Lastly, in the technical challenge, poor quality of building materials has not made anything better. There is abundance of fake and sub-standard building materials in Tanzania. This is partly responsible for the relatively high failure mode of building infrastructure components in Tanzania and the consequent high frequency of replacement of malfunctioning or defective components. This has made facility maintenance cost in the country to be high and discouraging. We finally examine the economic challenges impacting facilities management in Tanzania. Facility management cost of building infrastructure in Tanzania is very high as a result of the factors discussed above. This tends to discourage the property owners and the few corporate organizations that try to practice facility maintenance of buildings. The infiltration of fake and sub-standards building materials, limited technical knowledge of professional facility maintenance of building infrastructure, frequent re-work and the likes, have all contributed to reduce the application and growth of facility maintenance of building infrastructure in Tanzania. In addition, many building owners do not set aside dedicated budget for the facility maintenance. Where they do, such budgets usually become targets of downward review whenever any form of financial challenge arises. In conclusion, we have seen the application of professional facility management taking root in Tanzania. However, a lot is yet to be done to overcome the enumerated challenges.

EAST AFRICA

CONSTRUCTION TRENDS Extract from Deloitte

East Africa is fast becoming a leading African region and a strategic hub of continental growth. Though historically one of the world’s poorest and least developed regions, it is fast tracking infrastructure development with countries such as Ethiopia having shown annual growth of over 10% pa in recent years. Could East Africa’s Oil and Gas finds be one of the region’s sustainable growth kickers?

Mega trends

East Africa is turning the heads of investors, construction firms and multi-national corporations. As aggressive development gains momentum, investors will rely on local governments to develop basic infrastructure such as rail, roads, healthcare facilities, housing, real estate and retail space. The region has some discernible development highlights. Kenya is characterised by a significant roadworks programme financed by the African Development Bank,China, Brazil and Japan. These programmes are critical considering the country was losing close to Sh50 million (USD590 000) daily due to traffic congestion in Nairobi and its environs, primarily due to the time wasted on the road.
