Tanzania Poverty and Human Development Report (2009) shows that the rural areas are highly affected by the state of poverty in the Country when compared to urban areas .The results shows that 37.6perecent of rural households live below the basic needs poverty line when they are compared with 24 percent of the urban household and that of 16.4percent who are in Dar es Salaam. The majority of these poor people are those whose economy depends on the agriculture as their main source of livelihood. This is supported by 74 percent evidencing that these are primarily dependent on the agriculture and therefore this is taken as the evidence that poverty is the rural incidence. The study by Mkenda (2004) provides policy recommendation stating that et al. of resource in Tanzania should be informed by the need to stimulate high “allocation economic growth and it must respond on the desire to fulfill the needs of different areas and groups as manifested by the level of poverty”. And it is suggested that the increasing debates in the parliaments on resources allocation must revolve around the need to give priority to the poorer regions. Further, Bulus and Adafila (2014) found that rural population are facing limited access to modern farming inputs, productive resources, they are also limited on the issues related with availability of basic infrastructures mentioned as schools, health centers, portable water, good feeder roads and culvert, storage and irrigation facilities. Hence it is added that inadequate and low qualities of infrastructures could have a serious implication for welfare and persistence of poverty in most of the rural areas.
