In order for overpopulation to properly be addressed both the national and local level need to work cohesively together. Overpopulation is a complicated issue and takes a multilevel approach. I have personally seen in Afghanistan that societal and public health issues are best addressed when local and national levels respect one an others opinion, autonomy, and cultural difference; and the damaging effects of when they do not. I feel that the same sentiment could be applied to the overpopulation concept in Tanzania.
Working together to solve problems can be trying, but it can also lead to stronger results. In class, we discussed the complexity of overpopulation not only in Tanzania, but throughout the world. The strongest theme that kept reemerging was open communication between the national level and local level.
