I have been assigned to do research on Tanzania in order to decide whether or not it would be a good idea to build a manufacturing plant there. I do not recommend building a factory there. I will explain the social, political, and economic situations as to why it is a bad idea to build a factory in Tanzania.
The first issues that I will be discussing are the social issues. One issue is population because it is lowering. Currently the population is at 51,045,882. However, the reason it is lowering is because of the AIDS virus spreading and lowering the the lifespans of all the people. (The World Factbook). This is bad for our company because the lower lifespan people have the more employees we lose and the less we have the less people there will be to run the factory.
Tanzania net migration is -0.54/1000 migrants. The reason is the there are 3.56/1000 coming to the country and their are -9.26/1000 leaving the country. This can cause problems with labor with the more the people that are leaving the labor reduction increases. (The World Factbook). This is bad for our company because their are more people

Tanzania has made great progress in reforming its trunk roads, improving the quality of the road network. The power sector is Tanzania 's most threatening problem infrastructure. Despite improvements in pricing and operational performance inefficiency still absorbs about 1.4% of GDP. Due to heavy reliance on hydropower which is two thirds of the country’s power supply. It has climate variability and has low water levels. The port of Dar es Salaam also suffers from performance problems as rapid traffic growth has increasingly exposed deficiencies in storage and access to the port.(World Bank). The issues with that is the poor infrastructure means poor conditions and it would cost a lot to fix. The more of the the more anger and sadness the more disorder their will be over
social problems may affect us in the future as it up to us as the new
Last but not least, like all great nations, they come and they fall, and Mali did fall just like all the other nations. According to Document F: Mansa Musa, in 2014, by UC Davis History-Social Science Project Lesson Plan on Sites of Encounter in the Medieval World-Mali, it states, “After Mansa Musa, the empire of Mali began to decline. In 1464, a new empire, Songhai, took over ruling the rich goldfields and cities of West Africa.” Ghana fell to Mali, and Mali fell to the Songhai empire. This is an effect of being a site of cultural exchange.
Demographic Issues relates to population issues which has a huge impact on businesses. It effects businesses because if the population grows bigger within the country and customers are demanding for availability in specific products and services, the businesses may not be able to gain availability from their suppliers. This could be because it is costing them too much and there maybe a lot of pressure on them too.
Uganda, formally known as the Republic of Uganda, is a poverty stricken country plagued with economic instabilities. Since the 1980’s, the economy has remained on a fairly steady climb, but many have doubts about the continuation of growth. Uganda will never achieve a stable economy if they do not establish changes to their infrastructure. To implement these modifications and maintain economic progression, Uganda will need 1) better government determination to end corruption, 2) commitment to improve the weak educational reforms, and 3) a decrease in their export vulnerabilities. Fortunately, the country is experiencing a much needed evolution in telecommunication which could be the single most contributing factor for an improved economy.
Since Congo’s independence in 1960, its history has been marked by a series of political conflicts. The economy of Congo, a nation endowed with resources of vast potential wealth has declined drastically since the mid-1980s. The two political conflicts (first and second Congo wars), which began in 1996, have dramatically reduced national output and government revenue, have increased external debt, and have resulted in deaths of more than one million people.
People are brought up differently which gives each person a unique perspective on life than the other. The doctors working in England that were raised in third world countries had a different outlook on life as things were much more difficult on a day to day basis in comparison to the life of someone living in a first world country. Procedures pertaining to health care in third world countries were much different compared to the way medical procedures are carried out in first world countries.
The main problems that are affecting the company were the high level of labour turnover, below target production rates, high levels of scrap, the employees had little input in the decision making, therefore resulting in low motivation and job satisfaction, and didn't have enough feedback on there performance. Added to this was the conflict between the supervisors and employees in the production and packing areas, and the grading and payment levels wasn't satisfactory to the employees.
The location and vast array of natural resources in Africa have led it to settled and exploited by many Asian and European countries in the past. The events in Africa’s past have greatly influenced its political, social, and economic well being today. Africa is situated below the continent of Europe and is west of the continent of Asia. It is boarded on its north coast by the Mediterranean sea and lies in between the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Because Africa is almost completely surrounded by water and near large trading areas like the Mediterranean, it became very susceptible to colonialism from European and Asian countries. Colonialism and the discovery of natural resources in Africa’s past have caused the volatile political climates, social inequality and economic opportunities, that are seen throughout Africa today.
Zambia is a landlocked country in South-East Africa rich in natural resources, among which copper and cobalt mining, and vast territories, most suitable for agriculture. Throughout the 19th century, Britain colonized Zambia to exploit these resources; in 1889, the British South Africa Company (BSAC) took control of Zambia and begun to mining copper in vast quantities. By the Second World War, Zambia had become the largest importer of copper in Britain. In 1953, Zambia was included in the Central African Federation that was controlled by Britain but allowed Zambians to participate in politics. The federation was stable until 1956 when the price of copper fell and the wages of mining workers decreased. In response to the Britain’s political dominance
Sub-Saharan Africa is a resource-constrained region that suffers a top-heavy share of the world's burden of disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 12% of the world's population live in sub-Saharan Africa, yet the region suffers 27% of the world's total burden of disease.[1] To make the matter worse, the same region with a high burden of diseases still lags in health information technology (HIT). The HIT which is important in ensuring improved patient care.[2,3-7] Timely as well as accurate patient information is essential to meet the health care needs of any patient in any population.[6,8] Physicians and other care providers require high-quality information to make sound clinical decisions; however, their
Kinyasi Monyi, RIT Deaf graduate student, came from the small island of Zanzibar that merged the United Republic of Tanzania in the East Africa. He was born on June 30, 1986, from a military hospital and raised as the only deaf person in family. He was born as hearing but later became deaf at age six when a doctor found out he has spinal meningitis. Now, he is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computing Security from B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). During the interview, he recalled that his life struggled as a student in Tanzania, and how did he deal with the challenges included the family support into who he became today. There are also major differences in between the United States and Tanzania.
Thus, all these problems like poverty, education, transport, health facilities is creating problem for African people to develop and live a healthy life. It is also affecting the economy of the country and therefore government and many other organizations should take steps to look after all these issues for better development of Africa.
What comes to mind when you think of Africa? The exotic animals, the African culture with tribal dances, and all of the beautiful people, but do people ever think about the country Uganda? Uganda is located in eastern Africa, and is molded by its deep rooted cultural history that speaks the two official languages, English and Swahili. The people of Uganda are strong with the desire to live, but are weakened by the immense loss of healthcare. Uganda’s way of life is much different than the lives in America, and will awaken the eyes of the viewers.
The development of every nation hinges on the effectiveness of their transportation systems. Movement of goods, services and people to and from locations is made possible by transportation systems. The importance of effective transportation systems cannot be over-emphasized. Many countries face transportation problems and my country Ghana is no exception. A trip of about 30 minutes usually takes about an hour or more due to traffic jams. This is seriously impacting productivity and has become a topical issue in the country. The situation is the same in Uganda where I currently work. To this end, Transportation Engineers are needed to design roads/ highways that will stand the test of time, plan effective traffic management systems to reduce
