Profile : Tanzania

Description

After gaining independence from Britain, Tanganyika and
Zanzibar merged to form the Republic of Tanzania in 1964.
One-party rule ended in 1995 with the country's first
democratic multi-party elections since the 1970s.

Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world. Families depend heavily on agriculture for their income. The rapid spread of HIV/AIDS threatens to destabilise the country's social and economic fabric. Other major health problems include poor nutrition, malaria, tuberculosis, dysentery and leprosy.
