It is one among eight councils comprising Mbeya Region. Five years rolling strategic Plan for Kyela defines the future direction of the Council for the period 2011/2012 – 2016/2017 by setting the goals, defining the major strategy and strategies objectives, the strategies, activities and resources needed to realize the vision. It is based on a systematic assessment of the existing situation and was developed through a highly participatory process involving all key stakeholders. The Government of Tanzania is committed to provide sustainable quality and responsive services to its citizens, through Local Government Authorities (LGAs). The Government in 1996 prepared the Local Government Reform Agenda whose Mission is to strengthen the democratically elected, autonomous local government authorities responsible to deliver social and economic services according to locally defined needs, within the set national policy and legal frameworks. Empowering the LGAs means to capacitate them to plan strategically and provide quality services to the community. This means to be able to provider Inter-sectoral Co-ordination, Plan and Control the Budget and be able to make decisions, implement and enable efficient Supervision, Monitoring and Evaluation at all levels. Kyela District Council has prepared for new strategic plan for the period of five years of 2011/12– 2016/17 for 2011/12. Plan and Budget encompasses all the Strategic Planning process including, situation analysis, organization scan, key result area, development of strategic objectives, strategies, services delivery target, performance indicators and those implementers. Preparation for the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) is underpinned by a set of government policy statements. Such policies include Tanzania Development Vision 2025, Medium Term Plan for growth and Poverty Reduction (MTP), and the Local Government Reform Program (LGRP). The Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) covers the period of the three years (2011/12 – 2013/14). The main emphasize of this MTEF are:- To improve District performance. To create more relevant institutional structures To increase levels of institutional, departmental, and individual accountability. To improve transparency and communication between management, employees and stakeholders. To establish priorities for efficient and effective resource allocation This MTEF preparation has involved different stakeholders as well as following directions, guidelines and other relevant documents from sectoral/ leading ministries. Through the village and Ward levels, community was fully participated to decide on their needs/demands in implementation of Strategic Plan. Therefore, the Plan for the year 2011/12 – 2013/14 has considered the following issues: The process of O & OD which was on 2011/12 – 2012/13 from the village and ward level. iii One year Action Plan for 2011/2012 from the village and Ward level Guidelines for the preparation of plan and budget for 2011/12 within the five year development plan framework (2018 - 16) National priorities which were set during the Budget period for the year 2011/2012 Different National Policies and Guidelines Different opinions/advices from different Leaders and stakeholders e.g. Head of Departments, Political Leaders and Religious Leaders together with the instructions provided by different government Leaders during their visit in the District. National Vision 2000 – 2025 Millennium Development Goals 2000 – 2015 The Kyela District Council Strategic Plan is a five years rolling plan effective 2013/14 to 2017/18. However, among the Strategic Objectives there are those, which will cover the whole period and perhaps beyond, and those, which will start and finish during the strategic plan period. Value for money studies on alternative service delivery option had been conducted and the Council has come up with 14 activities that might be outsourced or privatized. These activities have been identified after deep consideration and calculation of value for money and making a vale for money analysis for each activity. These include: Construction and rehabilitation works (Roads and buildings) Operating public toilets Office and environment cleaning The security service for council. Maintenance of Council Plant and Vehicles Mechanical and Electrical Workshop/Garage Town market & bus stand cleaning and waste collection. Improvement of sewage systems Revenue Collection (some sources) Dipping services Auction centers Slaughter slabs, and Tree nurseries. Since the Strategic Planning is a process which involves different stakeholders is more of participatory nature, then its implementation takes a community participation approach, therefore need for a community partnership in monitoring and evaluation means that people take a significant role in deciding when, how and what to monitor or evaluate. Strategic plan Monitoring deals mainly with strategic plan inputs, activities and outputs; whereas Strategic plan Evaluation is more focused on the assessment of outcomes and impacts. The Monitoring and evaluation procedures depend on indicators to measure the performance of an intervention. iv Challenges encountered in 2017/2018 Budget Implementation. The challenges encountered were associated with lack of funds to implement planned

  • Ethnopharmacological Study on Medicinal Plants Used to Treat Infectious Diseases in the Rungwe District, Tanzania
    International Journal of Medicinal Plants and Natural Products (IJMPNP) Volume 1, Issue 3, 2015, PP 15-23 ISSN 2454-7999 (Online) www.arcjournals.org Ethnopharmacological Study on Medicinal Plants Used to Treat Infectious Diseases in the Rungwe District, Tanzania Sheila M. Maregesi, Rogers Mwakalukwa Department of Pharmacognosy, School of Pharmacy, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania smaregesi @hotmail.com Abstract: An ethnopharmacological survey was conducted in two villages of Rungwe district, Mbeya Region, Tanzania. In this area, the use of plants for the treatment of various diseases is still very high, especially infectious diseases which are endemic in the tropical countries and leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Information was obtained from one traditional healer and two other experienced persons, having some knowledge on medicinal plants. A total of twenty plants were reported for use in the treatment of various infectious conditions and were documented during the field study. These plants belong to 18 genera and 11 families of which Asteraceae was the most represented. Amongst uses of various phytoorgans, leaves ranked highest, the most used method of preparation being decoction (57%). The most frequently mentioned route of administration was oral. The plants recorded for treating chronic infectious conditions amounted to 38%. It was found out that, people in this area commonly use medicinal plants with trust they have built on the curative outcome witnessed. However, this creates a further work to test for the antimicrobial activity and standardization of herbal preparation if these plants proven to be safe.

  • Governace Process in Tanzania 4
    221 Part REDD+ Governace Process in Tanzania 4 Chapter 223 10 Lessons Learned from REDD+ Pilot Projects in Kondoa and Rungwe Districts, Tanzania George C. Kajembe1, Dos Santos A. Silayo1, Khamaldin J. Mutabazi1, Fathihia Massawe1, Maria Nantongo3 and Arild Vatn2 Abstract Reduced deforestation and forest degradation ‘plus’ the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhanced carbon stock (REDD+) has been singled out as one of the core strategies against climate change. At the same time, forests offer important livelihoods. To acquire experience on how to establish REDD+ ‘on the ground’, REDD+ pilot projects were established in Tanzania. The pilots were expected to provide valuable insights on many issues that will likely be encountered by both the government and local communities as REDD+ develops to assist in future REDD+ initiative. This study was conducted to draw lessons from two REDD+ pilot projects in Kondoa and Rungwe districts in Dodoma and Mbeya regions, respectively. Structured questionnaires for households with both closed and open ended questions were used to collect socio-economic, institutional and livelihoods- 1 2 224 related information. Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) techniques, participant observation and focus group discussions (FGDs) were also employed. Results show that land and forests are the main livelihood assets in the two pilot project areas. Although REDD+ was generally accepted by most communities in the pilots, there were some levels of scepticism based on their past land use history. For example, the introduction of REDD+ in Kondoa faced rejection from some villages due to fears over land grabbing and exclusion from forest access. On the contrary, villages which depend solely on state-owned forests did not object to REDD+ as they are used to resource use exclusion mechanisms from such tenure systems.

  • A Sociolinguistic Survey of the Nyiha and Nyika Language Communities in Tanzania, Zambia and Malawi
    A Sociolinguistic Survey of the Nyiha and Nyika Language Communities in Tanzania, Zambia and Malawi Anna-Lena Lindfors, Mark Woodward and Louise Nagler Revised by Susanne Krüger SIL International 2009 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2009-012, September 2009 Copyright © 2009 Anna-Lena Lindfors, Mark Woodward, Louise Nagler, Susanne Krüger, and SIL International All rights reserved ABSTRACT This paper presents the findings of a sociolinguistic survey among the Nyiha and Nyika language communities in south-western Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia. The main purpose of the research was to clarify the extent of any dialect differences between the varieties that could impact the ongoing language development process in the Nyiha of Mbozi variety (Tanzania). The research was conducted in August, September and November 2004. The survey identified five different ethnic groups called Nyiha or Nyika in Tanzania, Zambia and Malawi. Research findings suggest that the Nyiha of Malawi/Zambia could possibly use written materials in the Nyiha of Mbozi variety. The Nyika of Malawi and the Nyiha of Sumbawanga (Tanzania) were found to speak varieties different enough to warrant their own language development efforts. The language variety spoken by the Nyika of Rungwe (Tanzania) was found to be not a variety of Nyiha or Nyika at all and was not further investigated.

  • 1.0. Introduction
    FERTILITY LEVELS AND PATTERNS AMONG HIV-INFECTED AND UN-INFECTED WOMEN IN KYELA DISTRICT A CASE STUDY FROM TANZANIA. 1.0. Introduction The fertility transition, seen in many parts of the world, has been slow to start in Sub-Saharan Africa, although recent evidence suggests a moderate of fertility in few countries (UNAIDS, 2003). It is not clear how the HIV epidemic will alter future levels of fertility and what impact it will have on the nature of fertility transition. The contribution of HIV/AIDS to the fertility transition is not currently evident due to the fact that. For four reasons. First, isolating the factor of HIV/AIDS from other factors of fertility is a complex process because it is not a proximate variable, but one of the contributors to several proximate determinants of fertility. Secondly, for the impact of the epidemic to be felt, the prevalence has to be high in the region of 20 percent and be sustainable for a long time, about a decade or longer. Thirdly, behavior factors may reduce fertility of women with symptoms of AIDS, but not those asymptomatic. Fourthly, as infant mortality increases, the need to replace dead children and produce more to ensure survival of some will challenge implementation of family planning programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa and perhaps increase fertility. Also, increasing HIV prevalence in the region will mean that HIV/AIDS programmes will compete for resources with family planning progrmmes, which would weaken the latter (UNAIDS, 2003). Recent studies in Sub Saharan Africa have shown that fertility is reduced among HIV infected women compare with uninfected women.

  • International Journal of Science Arts and Commerce a History of Rungwe
    International Journal of Science Arts and Commerce Vol. 2 No. 2, April-2017 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE ARTS AND COMMERCE A HISTORY OF RUNGWE DISTRICT IN TANZANIA FROM PRE-COLONIAL TO COLONIAL PERIOD Reginald Mwakilambo Department of History, The Open University of Tanzania Abstract This article highlights the historical events that occurred in Rungwe District, Tanzania in pre colonial and colonial periods. It gives an analysis of the situation during the pre-colonial period and how the district became integrated in the capitalist economic system after the establishment of colonial rule. Capitalist relations were in terms of the establishment of cash crop estates as an element of colonial economic structure. Both peasant-type and estate productions involved productions for exports to metropolitan countries by firmly solidifying world capitalist economic relations as the metropoles were set ready to receive processed products from the district. 1.0 Introduction Rungwe District lies between longitudes “80 30′ and 90 30′ E” and latitudes “330 and 340 S” in the southern part of Mbeya Region.1 It is bordered by Mbeya District to the North, Makete District in Njombe Region to the East, Kyela District in the South and Ileje District in the West. The district consists of four divisions, which are “Ukukwe, Busokelo, Pakati and Tukuyu.”2 The geographical boundaries of the district have never been fixed in the past, but they have been changing by differently defined by the previous colonial governments of the Germans and British, and later by the independent government of the United Republic of Tanzania. The beginning of German colonial rule in Rungwe District was in 1893 by the German explorer Major Von Wissmann who founded a government station at a place along Lake Nyasa which was given the name “Langenburg” in the honour of “Prinz von Hohenlohe-Langenburg” the champion of German colonial endeavours (currently known as Lumbila in Ludewa District).

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Rungwe district in Mbeya region is amongst the many areas in Tanzania which until recently have remained terra incognita in terms of ecological and archaeological research. Systematic archaeo- logical investigations, based on heritage management and conservation have not been undertaken. In due regard, we decided to carry out the first systematic survey, documentation and recording of the heritage resources of this district. Our investigations emphasized public participation in the management and conservation of heritage resources with the involvement of local people the central focus. We were also motivated by the desire to launch community outreach programmes and establish the “Cultural-Ecological Research and Scientific Information Centre” in Masoko-Kisi- ba Ward. There were several meetings with the local people and the village officials to discuss plans. It was decided that the establishment of the deemed scientific and information centre would abide with the existing conservation laws in order to effectively address the strategies for protection, conservation and management of both natural and cultural heritage resources.
