  • LAKE VICTORIA Commercial Agriculture –Especiallycoffee Andcotton–Are Increasingly Important
    © Lonely Planet Publications 240 Lake Victoria LAKE VICTORIA Lake Victoria is Africa’s largest lake, and the second-largest freshwater lake in the world. While the Tanzanian portion sees only a trickle of tourists, the region holds many attractions for those who have a bent for the offbeat and who want to immerse themselves in the rhythms of local life. At the Bujora Cultural Centre near Mwanza, you can learn Sukuma dancing and get acquainted with the culture of Tanzania’s largest tribal group. Further north at Butiama is the Nyerere museum, an essential stop for anyone interested in the great statesman. Musoma and Bukoba – both with a sleepy, waterside charm – are ideal places for getting a taste of lakeshore life. Bukoba is also notable as the heartland of the Haya people, who had one of the most highly developed early societies on the continent. Mwanza, to the southeast, is Tanzania’s second largest city after Dar es Salaam, and an increasingly popular jumping off point for safaris into the Serengeti’s Western Corridor. To the southwest is Rubondo Island National Park for bird-watching and relaxing. The best way to explore the lake region is as part of a larger loop combining Uganda and/or Kenya with Tanzania’s northern circuit via the western Serengeti, although you’ll need time, and a tolerance for rough roads. While most accommodation is no-frills, there are a few idyllic getaways – notably on Rubondo and Lukuba Islands, and near Mwanza. Most locals you’ll meet rely on fishing and small-scale farming for their living, although industry and commercial agriculture – especially coffee and cotton – are increasingly important.

Information was obtained from the traditional healers and other experienced persons, having some knowledge on medicinal plants. Fifty-two plants were reported for use in the treatment of various infectious diseases. These plants belong to 29 families, with Papilionaceae being the most represented. Leaves ranked the highest, especially for use in topical preparations. Oral administration was the most frequently used route of administration. Twenty-one percent of the recorded plants were reported for treating venereal diseases, with syphilis and gonorrhea being the most commonly mentioned. Information providers requested feedback with regard to the plants proven scientifically to be toxic in order to avoid risks while offering their services. From this work it was found out that, people in this area commonly use medicinal plants with trust they have built on the curative outcome witnessed.

Key climate elements like temperature, rainfall and wind speed have been shifting their historical trends and magnitudes over time. As a result, extreme climate and weather driven events such as droughts, prolonged dry periods, erratic rainfall and strong winds are more common across the district nowadays2. The observed climate vagaries coupled with high poverty level have already caused their toll to people, their socio-economic, livelihood and environmental systems. Crop failures, water scarcity and livestock deaths due to drought are already common events in the area. Rainfall seasons and number of rainy days has greatly changed and declined, affecting economic, social, environment and peoples’ livelihoods. Communities are experiencing failures of their traditional livelihood systems with no replacement or alternatives3. Dependence on fishing is also under threat due to catch decrease. As a result, the Poverty and Human Development Report released in 2005 by the United Republic of Tanzania ranked the district as the poorest with the highest rates of income poverty.
