When Dodoma was declared a new national capital of Tanzania in 1974, it was almost barren with scattered trees and shrubs on the surrounding mountains. This landscape scenery was not conducive for urban living due to the hot and uncomfortable climatic conditions, dusty environment and poor scenic views. Now that the sixth phase government under the stewardship of Samia shifting to Dodoma calls for strategies of improving the greenery of the city through practical measures and implementation.
Planting trees is the viable solution and ensuring that laws, policies on environment and natural resource management are implemented by the government, civil society organizations and the citizens of Tanzania. Majority of Tanzanians seem to be ignorant about the National Environment Act 2004, Laws and Policies whose object is to provide for and promote the enhancement, protection, conservation and management of the environment.
