DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (2016/17 – 2020/21) Accelerating a People-Centered and Market-Driven Integration Foreword East African Community EAC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (2016/17 – 2020/21) Accelerating a People-centered and Market-driven Integration Foreword The 5th EAC Development Strategy for the period 2016117-2020/21 outlines the broad strategic development objectives that the Community will pursue during the next five years in line with the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community and the EAC Vision 2050. Formulation of the Strategy has taken into account the obligations of the Community within the development frameworks at intra and inter-regional, continental and global levels (EAC Partner States, COMESA, SADC, AU Agenda 2063 and the Post-2015 UN Development Agenda). The overall goal of the 5th EAC Development Strategy is to build a firm foundation for transforming the East African Community into a stable, competitive and sustainable lower-middle income region by 2021. To realise this goal, the Community shall focus on seven (7) key priority areas, namely i) consolidation of the Single Customs Territory (SCT); ii) development of regional infrastructure; iii)enhancement of free movement of all factors of production as envisaged under the Common Market and Monetary Union Protocols; iv) enhancement of regional industrial development; v) improvement of agricultural productivity; vi) promotion of regional peace, security and good governance; and vii) institutional transformation at the regional and Partner State levels. The Community shall therefore devote to the pursuit of programs, projects and other interventions aimed at accelerating a people­ centred and market-driven integration that will also facilitate faster and more sustainable socio­ economic development and transformation of the EAC region. On behalf of the Summit of EAC Heads of State, I appreciate and applaud the good work that has been undertaken by the Organs and Institutions of the Community in producing this Development Strategy. I also appreciate the financial support provided by the Partnership Fund and GIZ, the guidance provided by the Council of Ministers, inputs by the stakeholders and development partners, the expertise by REEV Consult International in the formulation of the 5th EAC Development Strategy. Effective implementation of the 5th EAC Development Strategy will steer the region to greater heights of regional and international competitiveness, and boost the welfare and prosperity of the people of East Africa. Our respective Governments are fully committed to the implementation of this Development Strategy. • H. WERI K.

  • 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.

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.

  • Armed Invasion of Uganda by Followers of Ex-‐President Obote. – Resultant
    Keesing's Record of World Events (formerly Keesing's Contemporary Archives), Volume 18, November, 1972 Uganda, Tanzania, Uganda, Page 25543 © 1931-2006 Keesing's Worldwide, LLC - All Rights Reserved. Armed Invasion of Uganda by Followers of Ex-President Obote. – Resultant Conflict between Uganda and Tanzania. – Somali Mediation leads to Peaceful Settlement. A serious conflict between Uganda and Tanzania arose in mid-September 1972 as the result of an invasion of Uganda by some 1,500 armed followers of the former Ugandan President Milton A. Obote. After crossing the border into Uganda from Tanzania and scoring initial successes, the invaders were, however, defeated within a few days by the forces of President Amin of Uganda. The Ugandan Government announced on Sept. 17 that invading "Tanzanian troops", numbering at least 1,000 men, had advanced to within about 100 miles of Kampala, the Ugandan capital, after occupying three Ugandan towns–Kyotera, Kakuto and Kalisizo– and that fighting was going on at the garrison town of Mbarara. A Ugandan Army spokesman, in a broadcast the same day, accused Britain of sharing responsibility for the invasion with Tanzania and claimed that the Government knew that there were in Uganda "many British spies", some of them military men. In another radio broadcast all Whites who had entered Uganda "illegally" were called upon to report to the nearest security unit. In the course of the day the Ugandan police detained a number of British citizens, among them women and children, four newspaper correspondents and a photographer. Later the same day Uganda Radio announced that the Government had appealed to both the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and to Dr.

This thesis compares the 1967 Education for Self- Reliance policy with the most recent 1995 Education and Training Policy by taking a historical view of the role of work-oriented education in primary and secondary institutions. Using the framework developed by Wim Hoppers (1996), this study finds that work-oriented education is an important strategy for improving the relevance of the educational system in both policies.

  • Towards Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in the Mara River Basin in Northeast Tanzania
    Journal of Ecology and the Natural Environment Vol. 2(10), pp. 213-224, October 2010 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/jene ISSN 2006- 9847 ©2010 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Towards sustainable management of natural resources in the Mara river basin in Northeast Tanzania Majule, A. E. Institute of Resource Assessment, University of Dar es Salaam, P. O. Box 35097, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected]. Tel: +255 754365644. Fax: +255 222410393. Accepted 7 October, 2010 Lack of coordination among sectors and institutions is among factors that results in ineffective management of natural resources in most basins in east Africa including Tanzania. In many cases, this has reported to be the most factor contributing natural resources degradation and conflicts between societies. This paper presents findings on different factors affecting the sustainability of the Mara River Basin (MRB) and proposes a management framework that will bring about sustainable resources use in the basin. The study was limited to the MRB part of Tanzania and multiple approaches were used in data collection. The MRB is experiencing a number of management problems including deforestation, land degradation and pollution of the river water associated with human activities. Institutional framework for natural resource management (NRM) is rather sectoral thus lacking integration and sometimes results into conflicting efforts to conserve natural resources. It is evident that some cultural attitudes including gender have positive impact on natural resources management such as the customary land tenure system. For sustainability of the MRB resources, a well coordination of natural resources and livelihoods projects, programs and stakeholders’ participation is a key factor without neglecting cultural aspects.

Please provide details of the security situation in Musoma/Mara, and in particular whether the region is experiencing tribal violence. Reports in regional media sources indicate that the Mara region of Tanzania is prone to outbreaks of clan and inter-clan violence, with the district of Tarime particularly volatile. Two reports were also located of violent incidents in Musoma district. The clashes described resulted in deaths and homes and land are often burned. The violence occurs between or within different clans and tribes and is often reported to be the result of disputes over land and cattle, though often the specific causes of clashes are not stated or are unclear. Location – Musoma, Mara Region Mara region is located in the north of Tanzania. It is bordered to the west by Lake Victoria and to the north-east by Kenya.
