SUBJECT: CJTF-HOA'S POSITIVE IMPACT IN TANZANIA 
 
REF: 2008 DAR ES SALAAM 444 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: The Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa 
(CJTF-HOA) engagement in Tanzania is promoting prosperous, just and 
secure communities in strategic areas of the country.  In doing so, 
this engagement is furthering specific Mission goals.  Interagency 
coordination of CJTF-HOA efforts is strong, as is collaboration with 
Government of Tanzania officials and Tanzanian military leadership. 
Humanitarian projects, such as schools and clinics, are a highly 
effective bricks and mortar response to those who accuse the U.S. 
military of nefarious motives in Africa.  The communities 
benefitting from CJTF-HOA humanitarian projects consistently express 
appreciation and goodwill.  Greater involvement of the Tanzanian 
military in these projects would further our goals.  A written 
agreement on CJTF-HOA coordination procedures would improve 
Diplomacy/Development/Defense coordination.  To the extent 
contracting rules permit, local contractors should be preferred. 
End Summary. 
 
2. (U) The Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), 
based out of Camp Lemonier in Djibouti, has served in Tanzania since 
2005.  Its current on-the-ground assets are comprised of two 
full-time staff at Embassy Dar es Salaam serving as a County 
Coordination Element and a four-person Civil Affairs(CA) team 
currently serving in Tanga, along the northern Swahili coast of 
Tanzania.  In FY08, CJTF-HOA spent USD 2 million on humanitarian 
affairs projects in Tanzania.  FY 09 will see a significant drop in 
support to around USD 680,000. 
 
The "Three Ds" in Action 
------------------------ 
 
3. (U) CJTF-HOA's work in Tanzania is a model of the "3Ds concept" - 
defense, diplomacy, and development - in action.  Since its start in 
Tanzania in 2005, CJTF-HOA has become a key component of our 
humanitarian response and military engagement planning.  We have 
submitted to CJTF-HOA and AFRICOM a proposed Coordination Procedures 
Agreement in the belief that written rules of the road detailing the 
support owed our CJTF-HOA colleagues from other elements of the U.S. 
would be useful for all concerned.  Given the wide variance in 
capacities and conditions at U.S. Missions in the region, we 
recommend against a one-size-fits-all approach to such agreements. 
We await CJTF-HOA and AFRICOM's response to our draft. 
 
4. (U) In the meantime, we coordinate CJTF-HOA humanitarian 
activities in an ad-hoc manner.  We ensure that proposed projects 
are vetted in-country with USAID and State colleagues prior to 
submission for final vetting by CJTF-HOA leadership. 
 
5. (U) The Embassy takes the lead in coordinating with local 
civilian officials.  USAID conducts technical reviews and 
coordinates with other development partners to avoid duplication. 
The Defense Attache Office coordinates with the Tanzanian military. 
A Tanzanian Peoples Defense Force (TPDF) Captain serves as the 
Tanzanian military's liaison with the Civil Affairs team in Tanga. 
This close coordination has yielded positive results for the 
Mission.  A recent project dedication included the Speaker of the 
Parliament - now an enthusiastic fan of U.S. military engagement in 
Tanzania. 
 
6. (SBU) We believe that CJTF-HOA humanitarian projects should focus 
on communities potentially susceptible to extremist messages. 
Previously, projects were scattered throughout the country, 
lessening the overall impact of limited resources and failing to 
concentrate on strategic interests.  The decision to concentrate 
activities on the northern Swahili coast, centered on the town of 
Tanga, was based in part on the fact that extremist elements and 
their supporters reside in this mostly Muslim region, albeit they 
are a small minority of the generally peaceful coastal population. 
After successful work by the civil affairs team, the Tanga region is 
becoming saturated with projects.  With our support, CJTF-HOA is 
shifting its humanitarian focus to the island of Pemba, just off the 
coast from Tanga.  Pemba has been purposely neglected by the 
autonomous government of Zanzibar for political reasons, creating a 
reservoir of unemployed, alienated and angry Muslim youth (reftel). 
This new focus directly supports Mission objectives to assist 
communities susceptible to extremist influence.  The lack of 
assistance of any kind on the isle means that any assistance from 
the civil affairs team generates considerable positive notice and

goodwill. 
 
Recent Examples: 
---------------- 
 
7. (U) The following are recent examples of successful humanitarian 
affairs projects conducted by CJTF-HOA personnel: 
 
-- CJTF-HOA completed a water project in northern Tanzania, near 
Longido, in 2007 improving the lives of over 6,000 Maasai. 
Previously, children would walk eight kilometers to collect water, 
forgoing education. 
 
-- A maternity clinic built in Njombe, in the southwest near the 
Malawi border, finished in 2008, now averages more than 400 births 
per month. A baby was delivered in the clinic during the dedication 
ceremony. 
 
-- In December 2008, CJTF-HOA added two rooms to Jitegemee High 
School in Dar es Salaam.  This public school, on a military base, 
has over 3,000 students, many of them children of military or 
government officials. 
 
-- An ongoing refurbishment of Pongwe Clinic in Tanga is converting 
a three-room section of a clinic into a surgical suite. 
 
-- In Pemba, the planned building of Bopwe Primary School will 
include 10-12 classrooms, 10 latrines, 2 teacher offices, a 
conference room, administrative office, and a kitchen.  This project 
will be a big boost to a neglected community. 
 
-- Highly successful medical and veterinary assistance programs have 
been working with the GOT to increase local capacity while providing 
much needed service to remote villages in the Tanga region.  A 
recent VETCAP (Veterinary Civil Affairs Program) treated 11,705 cows 
and 5,939 goats and sheep in twelve villages.  Local veterinarians 
worked side-by-side with the U.S. military increasing their skill 
base. 
 
Increased Engagement 
-------------------- 
 
8. (U) It was clear to EmbOff during a March 30-April 1, 2009 visit 
to CJTF-HOA's headquarters that engagement with U.S. Mission 
Tanzania is likely to increase in the coming years.  Continued 
humanitarian assistance is likely.  The new focus on Pemba is seen 
by all as a positive shift.  Also on the table is a new program to 
provide mentorship to the TPDF noncommissioned officer development 
program.  This program has been successful in Ethiopia and would be 
an excellent addition to the ongoing military engagement. 
 
Comment: Recommendations 
------------------------ 
 
9. (SBU) We have three recommendations for CJTF-HOA and AFRICOM 
leadership to consider: 
 
-- Greater involvement of the Tanzanian military in these projects 
would further our goals.  After decades of negligible mil-mil 
cooperation between the United States and Tanzania, we now have a 
close relationship rapidly growing closer.  The Tanzanian military 
is viewed favorably by the public here.  It can be intimidating and 
off-putting for a foreign military to arrive in a community, even 
when bearing gifts.  Associating our efforts with the TPDF in a more 
robust fashion would benefit all concerned.  Ideally, this means 
expanding the present TPDF liaison programming. 
 
-- A written agreement on CJTF-HOA coordination procedures would 
improve Diplomacy/Development/Defense.  We have submitted such a 
document for the consideration of CJTF-HOA and AFRICOM leadership. 
The capacities of U.S. Missions to coordinate CJTF-HOA teams vary 
greatly within the region, as do local contexts.  We suggest that 
written agreements on coordination procedures are highly useful, but 
should be tailored to the unique set of conditions found in each 
country in CJTF-HOA's area of operations. 
 
-- To the extent contracting rules permit, local contractors should 
be preferred.  Local contractors are properly motivated to do good 
work, as their own children or their neighbors' children may attend 
 
DAR ES SAL 00000235  003 OF 003 
 
 
the school they are building, or they themselves may use the clinic 
under renovation.  In any case, they live in the area and so cannot 
easily hide from irate residents upset at shoddy work.  Contractors 
from outside the region have no such motivation.
