Consequently, the Committee urges the State Party to make strident efforts towards reconciling all the ages appearing in the aforementioned diverse areas with Article 2 of the ACRWC, which defines 18 years as the age of majority. Water supply in both jurisdictions The State Party has reported that data obtained from the 2004 Tanzania Demographic Health Survey indicates that 62% of both rural communities and urban areas in the Mainland and 71% in Zanzibar have access to safe drinking water. However there is a variation between the rural areas (49%) and urban areas (85%) in Tanzania Mainland; and in Zanzibar, in rural areas (59%) and urban areas (92%). The Committee observes that there are no effective constitutional, policy or legislative provisions in both parts of the State Party that guarantee, promote and protect the right to water and sanitation as envisaged in Article 14 (2) (c) of the ACRWC. The Committee also observes that many children in rural areas have to walk long distances (over 5kilometres) per day to access water, which from all indication is not safe. The Committee recommends that in order for the State Party to guarantee the right to water and sanitation in respect of children as envisaged in Article 14 (2) (c) of the ACRWC, the State Party should enact constitutional, policy and legislative provisions to this effect. The Committee also urges the State Party to ensure that the pace at which new water schemes and rehabilitation and/or expansion of existing water schemes and sanitation services is taking place is increased by the State Party since, for instance, only 122 out of 794 water schemes were rehabilitated between 1998 and 2003 which only constitutes 15% of the schemes for a period of five years. In addition, efforts should be made to ensure a balanced supply of water to children in both the Mainland and Zanzibar, to assure non-discrimination in water supply. Child and Infant Mortality Rates 7
