Dodoma is the capital city of the United Republic Tanzania. Dodoma means ‘It has sunk’ in the Gogo language, the language spoken throughout the region of Dodoma. The region is located at the heart of Tanzania in the eastern-central part of the country. Dodoma has three main tribes inhabiting the region. They are the Gogo, the Warangi, and the Wasandawi.
The economy of the region is dependent on trade. The city produces beans, seeds, grain, tea, and tobacco. Raising and marketing cattle is also an important source of income for the locals. Coffee and peanut are two important crops of the region. These locally grown produces are sold at the marketplace in Dodoma. However, the city has a limited industrial base.
