Lving Conditons
Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous region of the United Republic of Tanzania located on the south of the
equator, off the east coast of Africa. Zanzibar consist of three large islands: Unguja, Pemba and Tumbatu.
Unguja is commonly referred to as Zanzibar is the largest of the three islands. Stone town is the old part
of Unguja town. Stone town is an attractive destination for tourists and has plenty of restaurants, bars and
plenty of tourists passing through. Pemba is located north of Unguja where tourism and economic growth
have not grown as much. Tumbatu is the smallest island.
Zanzibar has a total population of about 1.3 million. Unguja, the largest, has a population of about
900,000, followed by Pemba with over 400,000 people, according to the 2012 census.
Zanzibar has an equatorial climate consisting of a rainy season from March to May and a dry season for
the rest of the year, with some quick showers to be expected. Temperature in the dry season can reach
up to 40°C but average is about 32°C with a considerable humidity.
Zanzibar is a low-income country and majority of the population is poor. The quality of living conditions is
better in urban areas than in rural areas. General living conditions in Zanzibar are good, with those living
in urban areas being more likely to live in better-quality housing. Very few people appear to have
problems accessing drinking water or have problems with sanitation. Zanzibar has reasonable access to
services. There are good education facilities and some health facilities with good standards.
The volunteer will be expected to live in Unguja, Zanzibar. His/her duties and responsibilities entail
travelling between and within the assigned district/s in the programme area.

The UN system in Tanzania is entering into area-based joint programming, in order to focus upon the
challenges of specific geographical areas, in this case regions, where the degree of vulnerability and
disadvantage distinguishes those areas from the rest of the country.
17 May 2019 Page 2 of 8Given the comparatively small and decreasing financial base of the UN in Tanzania, it is of growing importance to focus the limited resources geographically and jointly, in order to reach the maximum
potential for the benefit of the most vulnerable populations with higher impact, and in keeping with the
vision of “leaving no one behind”.
Currently 30.4 per cent of Zanzibaris live below the basic needs poverty line, with 10.8 per cent living
below the food poverty line. There is also a significantly high population growth rate with population
projected to double by 2050. Unemployment rate has increased, and in particular among the Zanzibari
youth. Relatively high levels of basic needs still exist, encompassing the need for improved access to
clean water, sanitation and health services. Violence against women and children remains a daily reality in
Zanzibar and data reports an increasing trend of physical, sexual and emotional violence.
Local consultations with the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar have taken place on needs and
priorities, combined with analysis of available statistics as well as analysis on how the UN best can
respond to these needs given comparative advantages and previous experience. These consultations
have resulted in the Zanzibar Joint Programme which consists of nine UN agencies cooperating in 4
themes of Maternal and Newborn Health; Women’s Economic Empowerment through Seaweed Value
Chain Development; Ending Violence Against Women and Children; and Capacity Building for
Coordination and Reporting of MKUZA III and SDGs.
The NUNV Communication Officer will support the UN Area Coordinator (UNAC) in making visible and
documenting UN’s contribution to sustainable development in Zanzibar. He/she will closely collaborate

Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous region of the United Republic of Tanzania located on the south of the
equator, off the east coast of Africa. Zanzibar consist of three large islands: Unguja, Pemba and Tumbatu.
Unguja is commonly referred to as Zanzibar is the largest of the three islands. Stone town is the old part
of Unguja town. Stone town is an attractive destination for tourists and has plenty of restaurants, bars and
plenty of tourists passing through. Pemba is located north of Unguja where tourism and economic growth
have not grown as much. Tumbatu is the smallest island.
Zanzibar has a total population of about 1.3 million. Unguja, the largest, has a population of about
900,000, followed by Pemba with over 400,000 people, according to the 2012 census.
Zanzibar has an equatorial climate consisting of a rainy season from March to May and a dry season for
the rest of the year, with some quick showers to be expected. Temperature in the dry season can reach
up to 40°C but average is about 32°C with a considerable humidity.
Zanzibar is a low-income country and majority of the population is poor. The quality of living conditions is
better in urban areas than in rural areas. General living conditions in Zanzibar are good, with those living
in urban areas being more likely to live in better-quality housing. Very few people appear to have
problems accessing drinking water or have problems with sanitation. Zanzibar has reasonable access to
services. There are good education facilities and some health facilities with good standards.
The volunteer will be expected to live in Unguja, Zanzibar. His/her duties and responsibilities entail
travelling between and within the assigned district/s in the programme area.

The UN system in Tanzania is entering into area-based joint programming, in order to focus upon the
challenges of specific geographical areas, in this case regions, where the degree of vulnerability and
disadvantage distinguishes those areas from the rest of the country.
17 May 2019 Page 2 of 8Given the comparatively small and decreasing financial base of the UN in Tanzania, it is of growing importance to focus the limited resources geographically and jointly, in order to reach the maximum
potential for the benefit of the most vulnerable populations with higher impact, and in keeping with the
vision of “leaving no one behind”.
Currently 30.4 per cent of Zanzibaris live below the basic needs poverty line, with 10.8 per cent living
below the food poverty line. There is also a significantly high population growth rate with population
projected to double by 2050. Unemployment rate has increased, and in particular among the Zanzibari
youth. Relatively high levels of basic needs still exist, encompassing the need for improved access to
clean water, sanitation and health services. Violence against women and children remains a daily reality in
Zanzibar and data reports an increasing trend of physical, sexual and emotional violence.
Local consultations with the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar have taken place on needs and
priorities, combined with analysis of available statistics as well as analysis on how the UN best can
respond to these needs given comparative advantages and previous experience. These consultations
have resulted in the Zanzibar Joint Programme which consists of nine UN agencies cooperating in 4
themes of Maternal and Newborn Health; Women’s Economic Empowerment through Seaweed Value
Chain Development; Ending Violence Against Women and Children; and Capacity Building for
Coordination and Reporting of MKUZA III and SDGs.
The NUNV Communication Officer will support the UN Area Coordinator (UNAC) in making visible and
documenting UN’s contribution to sustainable development in Zanzibar. He/she will closely collaborate

development worldwide. Volunteerism can transform the pace and nature of
development and it benefits both society at large and the individual
volunteer. UNV contributes to peace and development by advocating for
volunteerism globally, encouraging partners to integrate volunteerism
into development programming, and mobilizing volunteers.In most cultures
volunteerism is deeply embedded in long-established, ancient traditions
of sharing and support within the communities. In this context, UN
Volunteers take part in various forms of volunteerism and play a role in
development and peace together with co-workers, host agencies and local
communities.In all assignments, UN Volunteers promote volunteerism
through their action and conduct. Engaging in volunteer activity can

social realities, as well as create a bridge between themselves and the
people in their host community. This will make the time they spend as UN
Volunteers even more rewarding and productive.
