	CHAPTER 3: ANALYSIS OF THE NUTRITION SITUATION AND TRENDS IN TANZANIA
		An analysis of data from seven regions implementing the CSD programmes from 1985 to 1988 (table 6) show that marasmus is the predominant clinical form of PEM.
		The implications of these observations are that while initial programme impact may be attributed to actions on the immediate and partly on the underlying causes of malnutrition, the programmes have not to any significant extent addressed the basic problems of poverty and socio-cultural factors militating against nutrition improvement including the issue of gender relations.
		There are wide regional differences in the prevalence rate of low birth weight which also implies regional differences in maternal nutrition and survival of the newborn (table 18).

	In Tanzania, a school with a mission: to uplift girls and promote spiritual values -- October-December 2000
		IRINGA, Tanzania - Asked what makes their school different from others in this tropical East African nation, students at the Ruaha Secondary School are quick to point to a feature that usually "impacts" them quite directly: the total absence of "caning," as corporal punishment is known here.
		Based on the 1998 National Form IV Examination results, Ruaha School ranked 3rd in the region, 5th in the zone and 35th out of 611 schools nationally.
		Another measure of the school's success can be seen in the percentage of students who are selected by the government to go on from Form IV (11th grade equivalent) to Form V (12th grade equivalent).
