other 17 were men. The total number of households sampled in the country was 2,594: roughly 23 per cent of the sampled population in urban areas and 77 per cent in rural areas. A total of 2,559 households were covered against the planned number of 2,594 households, an excellent coverage rate. Validation of the Country Self Assessment Report 29. The Country Self Assessment Report (CSAR) was validated throughout the Country in 5 national and 9 regional validation workshops. The CSAR, including the draft National Programme of Action, was submitted to the APRM Secretariat in May 2009. In all, the 500-page CSAR was sufficiently candid about the governance situation in Tanzania. The Report also meets the APRM avowed objective of technical competence. The six-stage methodology adopted in coming up with the Report is apt and highly recommended to other countries embarking on their Self-Assessment. 1.2.3 The Country Review Mission 30.
