The project is focused on assessing the relationship between poverty and disaster risk by collecting household information on exposure to flood risk combined with estimates of household expenditure. By using a city-wide representative sample of Dar es Salaam which is over-sampled in areas exposed to flood risk, this study will provide policy relevant information on the impact of floods on households and its relation to poverty on a city level. The study is a component of the Tanzanian Urban Resilience Program to inform investments and activities of the program. The first round of data collection implemented by UDA Consulting in December 2017 and serves as a baseline for this study.

The objective of this assignment is to pilot a firm-level supply chain resilience survey in Tanzania to get a better understanding of the economic impact of transport infrastructure disruptions – primarily due to natural disasters. The data collected will directly inform the currently on-going Tanzania Transport Risk Analysis being undertaken by Oxford Analytics, funded by the Corridors for Growth Multi-donor Trust Fund, administered by the World Bank, with the support of UK Aid. The analysis will support the Government of Tanzania in better understanding the economic impact of transport infrastructure disruptions and consequently support the Government in their prioritization of infrastructure investment.
