Received 11 October, 2019; Accepted 24 February, 2020 This study attempted to investigate the pattern and trend of climate change, its influence and interaction with maize post-harvest system and established the current status of maize post-harvest losses at Kongwa and Kondoa district in Tanzania. Participatory rural appraisal technique and household survey methods were used to collect primary data. Secondary data for the study area including rainfall and temperature data from the year 1982 -2017 were collected from Tanzania Meteorological Agency. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically using Nvivo software. Quantitative data from household survey were cross tabulated using SPSS software version 20 and the results were confirmed using canonical correlation test while pattern and trend of rainfall and temperature data were analyzed using trend lines and was confirmed using Mann-Kendall trend test. Findings indicated that annual temperature increase and monthly rainfall pattern changes influences maize post-harvest losses with significant losses denoted more during harvesting and storage with a positive correlation of R2= 0.014 and R2 = 0.121 respectively, while statuses for the maize post-harvest losses are below the threshold value of 40%.

  • Dodoma, Tanzania and Socialist Modernity
    The Rationalization of Space and Time: Dodoma, Tanzania and Socialist Modernity The categories of space and time are crucial variables in the constitution of what many scholars deem as modernity. However, due to the almost exclusive interpretation of space and time as components of a modernity coupled with global capitalism (Harvey 1990; Jameson 1991), discussions of a socialist space and time as a construction of an alternate modernity during the 60s and 70s—in particular across the Third World—have been neglected. Julius Nyerere’s project of collectivization, or ujamaa , in Tanzania during this period is a prime example of an attempt to develop the nation-state outside of the capitalist format. While it would be interesting to explore the connections Nyerere had with other socialist Third World countries, like China, within the international context, and their attempts at nation-building, this paper will focus on an analysis of the Tanzanian government’s decision in 1973 to move the capital of the country from the Eastern port city of Dar es Salaam to the more centrally located Dodoma. Although the Tanzanian government never completed the majority of the buildings analyzed in this paper due to a lack of funds and a diminishing political will, the exhaustive blueprinting and documentation does provide a glimpse into the conception of an African socialist modernity. The questions of primary importance are: How did moving the Tanzanian capital from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma embody Nyerere’s vision of socialist African development? Or more specifically, how did the socialist urban planning of Dodoma fit into the greater project of ujamaa and rural development? And finally, how was the planned construction of a new urban capital an attempt at a definition of socialist space and time? 1 Space, Time, and Homo Economicus In his seminal work, The Condition of Postmodernity , David Harvey explains why the categories of space and time are constantly cited as the primary way to understand a transformation in a human being’s relationship with his or her surroundings.

However, data to indicate the way men and women are affected by climate change are missing. A study to examine effects of climate change on agricultural production by sex was done in Bahi and Kondoa Districts, Dodoma region, Tanzania. Specifically the study analyzed perception of climate change and effects of climate change on agricultural production. A sample of 360 respondents, 12 focus groups of discussants and 78 key informants were consulted. Analysis of quantitative data involved descriptive statistics and qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis. Results showed that men and women perceived and were affected differently by climate change.

Received 23 September, 2014; Accepted 8 December, 2014 This paper examines the access of urban farmers to land, water and inputs for urban agriculture (UA) towards household food security, employment creation and income generation in Dodoma municipality. A cross-sectional survey was employed involving 300 urban farmers from both squatter and non- squatter settlements. Structured questionnaires, focus group discussions, key informants, observations and documentary review were used to collect data relevant for the study. Based on the analysis of this study, urban farmers are constrained by land tenure insecurity, erratic water access and inadequate inputs for optimizing plot productivity and ambivalent application of urban legislative frameworks. The study found that no support has been given to urban farmers to enable them to have access to land, water and inputs in order to practice UA.

The harsh arid environments characterized by little rains and drought in this part of the country impose socioeconomic and environmental difficulties to majority of the communities. Since 90% of the population rely on agriculture and natural resources for their living, we devoted our efforts in transforming communities towards sustainable livelihoods. However, such initiatives require best principles and practices of servant leadership, sustainable environmental conservation and community development. It is on such bases that our organisation undertake training, consultancy,research and facilitation of community initiated development projects. Through collaborations with international and local partners we support nine sustainable development goals and reached more than 300 villages. Our programs with local communities made people understand that every one of us makes a difference and cumulatively, we act each day to change the world.

  • Beggars with Disabilities in the City of Harare, Zimbabwe
    Developing Country Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-607X (Paper) ISSN 2225-0565 (Online) Vol.4, No.26, 2014 Rejected People: Beggars with Disabilities in the City of Harare, Zimbabwe TAFADZWA RUGOHO (MSc, BSc, ZIM) Lecturer, Christ Centre College, an affiliate of the Great Zimbabwe University BEKEZELA SIZIBA (MBChB UZ) Medical practioneer, Chitungwiza Central Hospital Abstract In Zimbabwe most of the beggars found in streets are disabled people. Most of these poverty-ridden disabled persons have taken advantage of the economic situation of most urban centre’s to remain permanent residents (legal or illegal) of these cities. Poverty and unemployment are some of the major reasons why disabled people develop a begging behavior. The government and local authorities seem to be clueless on addressing this phenomenon. Due to the ever increasing number of beggars joining the streets cut-throat competition have emerged, which resulted in some vendors being innovative by employing several begging strategies. Keywords: Begging, disabilities, beggars, colonial Introduction Begging has been in existence since time immemorial. Religious texts demonstrate the existence of begging in the early years of creation. Begging is a social problem which pose a challenge on urban planners Menka, Jabir Hasan Khan , Tarique Hassan (2014). Other countries such as Nigeria have invested millions of dollars in education as a way of empowering its population so that they do not become beggars, A. Onoyase( 2010) . Begging has become a style of life for other people especially in India, John (2006). Begging is a universal phenomenon and highly visible socio-economic and physical problem of most cities in Africa.
