According to the country's Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security the food deficit in Tanzania is linked to the failure of short rains between August and November 2005 which account for 30% of annual harvests in the country. A Rapid Vulnerability Assessment carried out by the government, WFP, and NGOs in early February identified 564,000 of the total impacted population as being destitute and in need of free food distribution. To date, the government of Tanzania has not declared a national emergency but WFP and NGOs are concerned that government resources are insufficient to meet the urgent needs of this vulnerable population. The long rainy season is now expected between March and May, but if it fails or comes too late, the number of people needing food relief could go up. ACT member the Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) is appealing for assistance to provide food relief to approximately 80,500 of the most destitute people in seven regions in rural Tanzania, to be distributed through its member churches the Anglican Church of Tanzania (ACT), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT), the African Inland Church of Tanzania (AIC) and the Mennonite Church of Tanzania (MEN) stationed across the country.

Ingvar Andersson ;- Carolyn Hannan—Andersson I CE~ifl~Rfl ~Tei (C7~ ~1i1 -~ June ~984 Institute of Resource Assessment University of Oar es Salaam Box 35097 Oar es Salaam Tanzania ABSTRACT The water supply/sanitation/health situation in 3 villages in Singida Region was the focus of this study. The objective was to investigate general conditions and to identify the explicit needs of the communities. Relevant socio-economic data on production, livestock, ecological system, etc, is presented, as well as a historical overview of the developments in the water supply sector. Water-use patterns and standards of health, hygiene and sanitation were investigated in 75 households. An attempt was made to evaluate improvements to the water supply in two of the villages, i.e. the functioning of the supplies, the extent of utilization and the impact, e.g. on water use patterns, work burdens and general welfare and health. The effectiveness of the strategy for improving water supplies using shallow wellls with handpumps is assessed. The aspects of density and location of supply are stressed as crucial for the achievement of impact. An alternative strategy is suggested — the improvement of all traditional sources both for domestic and non-domestic uses (livestock and small vegetable gardens).

  • The Running in Tanzania As an Economy
    Negotiating ‘Modernity’ on the Run Migration, Age Transition and „Development‟ in a Training Camp for Female Athletes in Arusha, Tanzania Aline Taylor _________________________________________ A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology University Of Canterbury August 2008 _______________________________________________________ Abstract Sports have recently been incorporated into international development agendas in a bid to „empower‟ women and foster gender equality. Considered a masculine domain, sports are argued to empower women by challenging the status quo and their „traditional‟ positions in societies. This thesis examines the use of sport in an athletic training camp for female distance runners located in Arusha, Northern Tanzania. Like other similar camps throughout East Africa, this training camp provides financial support for athletes, recruited from isolated rural areas, to live and train full time in the city. The camp was founded and is run by a Tanzanian couple, known as Gwandu and Mama Gwandu, but it has recently begun receiving financial support from an American development organisation. The director of this organisation, Karl, aims to empower the young women training in the camp by enabling them to use their sporting talent to further their education. This directly contradicts Gwandu and Mama Gwandu‟s goals, however, and they strive to enable the girls to improve their lives by earning money from running. The girls themselves perceive running as a unique opportunity to migrate to Arusha and distance themselves from their natal villages. The idea of earning money from running is secondary, for the girls, to the aspiration of settling permanently in the city.

  • Female Genital Cutting 13
    FEMALE GENITAL CUTTING 13 Female genital cutting (FGC), also known as female circumcision or female genital mutilation (FGM) in Tanzania, is a common practice in many societies in the northern half of sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly universal in a few countries, it is practiced by various groups in at least 25 African countries, in Yemen, and in immigrant African populations in Europe and North America (Yoder et al., 2004). In a few societies, the procedure is routinely carried out when a girl is a few weeks or a few months old (e.g., Eritrea, Yemen), while in most others, it occurs later in childhood or adolescence. In the case of the latter, FGC is typically part of a ritual initiation into womanhood that includes a period of seclusion and education about the rights and duties of a wife. The Tanzanian Special Provision Act, a 1998 amendment to the penal code, specifically prohibits FGC. However, while the practice has been outlawed, it is still occurring in many areas. FGC is considered compulsory in some communities whereas in other communities, women may have options about being cut. The 2004-05 TDHS collected data on the practice of female circumcision from women age 15-49. The 1996 TDHS also collected data on female circumcision from women in the same age group. The 2003-04 Tanzania HIV/AIDS Indicator Survey (TACAIDS, NBS, and ORC Macro, 2005) included only one question on circumcision for male and female respondents: whether the respondent was circumcised. In this chapter, topics discussed include knowledge, prevalence, and type; age at circumcision; person who performed the circumcision; and attitudes towards the practice.

Masanja, PhD Department of Geography, St. Augustine University of Tanzania, Tanzania P.O. Box 307 MWANZA, TANZANIA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study was conducted in a cereal-tobacco farming system in Sikonge District, Tabora Region. The objective of the study was to determine the implications of forest resource demand by the ever growing population. A social survey was conducted in the period 2011-2012. Randomized stratified multistage sampling using proportionate population sizes was employed to select 365 households and six institutions in the study area. Assessment of vegetation cover change was based on time-series satellite images and repeated aerial photographs. Data processing and analysis was accomplished by the use of ERDAS Imagine Version 8.7 and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results revealed that depletion of closed woodland between 1984 and 2012 was 46.7 hectares per year on average. Likewise, cultivated land increased by an average of 265 (0.8%) hectares annually within this time period. The expansion of cultivated land was at the expense of the Miombo woodlands fueled by internal and external socio-economic drivers led by population growth, agricultural expansion, domestic fuel wood and charcoal and increased demand for tobacco curing.

  • Project/Programme Proposal to the Adaptation Fund
    PROJECT/PROGRAMME PROPOSAL TO THE ADAPTATION FUND PART I: PROJECT/PROGRAMME INFORMATION Project/Programme Category: Regular Project Country/ies: United Republic of Tanzania Title of Project/Programme: Strategic Water Harvesting Technologies for Enhancing Resilience to Climate Change in Rural Communities in Semi-Arid Areas of Tanzania (SWAHAT) Type of Implementing Entity: National Implementing Entity (NIE) Implementing Entity: National Environment Management Council (NEMC) Executing Entity/: Sokoine University of Agriculture Amount of Financing Requested 1,280,000 (in U.S Dollars Equivalent) Project Summary The objective of proposed SWAHAT project is enhancing resilience and adaptation of semi arid rural communities to climate change-induced impacts of drought, floods and water scarcity. This will be achieved through strategic water harvesting technologies that will contribute to improved crops, aquaculture and livestock productivity, reforestation as well as combating emerging crops and livestock pests and diseases. The conceptual design of the water harvesting dam has been designed to ensure afforestation of the catchment before the dam thus prevention excessive siltation. The constructed or rehabilitated dams will supply water for all the proposed resilience and adaptation enhancing integrated innovations to be implemented on the semi-arid landscapes. In addition, synergism between aquaculture and agricultural activities will be done to enhance nutrient recycling and improve resource use efficiency. Nursery for fruits and forest trees as well as vegetable gardens will be established and supply seedlings for afforestation and horticulture. Pastureland and animal husbandry infrastructure will be established downstream of the dam for improved productivity and supply of manure for soil fertility improvement. The afforested landscape will integrate apiary units, provide fuel wood and restore habitats for biodiversity conservation.

  • Assessment of the Effectivenes and Sustainability of Household Food Insecurity Coping Strategies in Chamwino District Dodoma
    ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENES AND SUSTAINABILITY OF HOUSEHOLD FOOD INSECURITY COPING STRATEGIES IN CHAMWINO DISTRICT DODOMA REGION BY RUTH MAZENGO A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION AND EXTENSION OF SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE. MOROGORO, TANZANIA. 2011 i ABSTRACT Household food security is an important development issue. However, food insecurity still persists in many parts of Tanzania due to a number of factors. When people are faced with food shortage, they develop mechanisms to cope with this problem. These strategies, however, are neither effective nor sustainable. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the effectiveness and sustainability of coping strategies towards food insecurity in Chamwino area in order to suggest possible ways that could be used to increase food production in the area as a way of reducing household food insecurity. Data was collected from 120 respondents by using questionnaires. Researcher’s diary and checklist were used to collect information from key informants. Quantitative data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) computer software and qualitative data were summarized and analyzed manually. Respondents were aware of the food insecurity problem and its causes. They identified some coping strategies which they considered to be effective; these included selling of livestock, selling of labour, utilization of wild foods and a reduction in the number and quantity of meals
