The data show a generally positive trend until 2006 with the number of pupils per latr<strong>in</strong>e, decl<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />

from 74 <strong>in</strong> 2003 to 60 <strong>in</strong> 2006. However, data <strong>in</strong>dicate no change between 2006 <strong>and</strong> 2007, <strong>and</strong><br />

a slight deterioration <strong>in</strong> the number of pupils per latr<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong> 2008. Without a significant <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>vestment, the MKUKUTA target will not be met by 2010.<br />

Data on sanitation <strong>in</strong> government primary schools for 2007 also reveal significant regional<br />

disparities (Figure 45). At national level, the number of latr<strong>in</strong>es is only 37% of the total required.<br />

At regional level, data range from Dar es Salaam (22%), Sh<strong>in</strong>yanga (24%) <strong>and</strong> Manyara (27%),<br />

well below the national average, to almost 60% <strong>in</strong> Ir<strong>in</strong>ga <strong>and</strong> Kilimanjaro.<br />
