Component Two follows an Inception Report that mapped the organisations, institutions and processes that marked different accountability relationships in Tanzania. Component Two set out to study the local accountability landscape in more depth, in the process shedding light on the relation between formal and informal accountability channels, and between elected and appointed officials. In general, it set out to build from the grassroots a picture of bottom-up accountability. In doing this, it recognised that it was important not only to identify the institutions and channels through which local people sought to secure accountability, but also to understand the language in which they thought and talked about accountability. It accepted that there might be some lack of fit, or problem

Abstract Background: The implementation of decentralisation reforms in the health sector of Tanzania started in the 1980s. These reforms were intended to relinquish substantial powers and resources to districts to improve the development of the health sector. Little is known about the impact of decentralisation on recruitment and distribution of health workers at the district level.

Box 2100 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland Tel: 41 22 791 6033 Fax: 41 22 791 6506 Appeal e-mail: [email protected] Coordinating Office Tanzania Food Relief Assistance – AFTZ61 Appeal Target: US$ 741,141 Geneva, 21 March 2006 Dear Colleagues, The latest Tanzanian government report on the food situation shows that from February to April, 3.76 million people - more than 10 percent of the country's population- will need 99,676 tonnes of maize food aid. 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.

    What caused the "Scramble for Africa"? By ThoughtCo.com, adapted by Newsela staff on 01.16.18 Word Count 978 Level 1220L Image 1. Askari colonial troops in German East Africa in 1906. An askari was an African soldier serving in the armies of the European colonial powers in Africa. Photo by: Wikimedia/German Federal Archive The Scramble for Africa (1880 to 1900) was a period of rapid colonization of the African continent by European powers. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. 1 At the beginning of the 1880s, only a small part of Africa was under European rule. Just 20 years later, virtually the entire continent was under European control. What Caused The Scramble? There were several factors which led to the Scramble for Africa, most of which had to do with developments in Europe rather than in Africa. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. 2 Exploration: During the 19th century, barely a year went by without a European expedition into Africa. The boom in exploration was triggered to a great extent by the creation of the African Association by wealthy Englishmen in 1788. The Association's members wanted someone to "find" the fabled city of Timbuktu and the course of the Niger River. As the century progressed, the goals of exploration changed, and rather than traveling out of pure curiosity, explorers started to record details of markets, goods and resources for the wealthy businessmen who financed their trips. Henry Morton Stanley: The explorer most closely connected to the start of the Scramble for Africa was Henry Morton Stanley, a Welshman who later became an American citizen.

  • (I) the SOCIAL STRUCTUBE of Soumn SOMALI TRIB by Virginia I?
    (i) THE SOCIAL STRUCTUBE OF SOumN SOMALI TRIB by Virginia I?lling A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London. October 197]. (ii) SDMMARY The subject is the social structure of a southern Somali community of about six thousand people, the Geledi, in the pre-colonial period; and. the manner in which it has reacted to colonial and other modern influences. Part A deals with the pre-colonial situation. Section 1 deals with the historical background up to the nineteenth century, first giving the general geographic and ethnographic setting, to show what elements went to the making of this community, and then giving the Geledj's own account of their history and movement up to that time. Section 2 deals with the structure of the society during the nineteenth century. Successive chapters deal with the basic units and categories into which this community divided both itself and the others with which it was in contact; with their material culture; with economic life; with slavery, which is shown to have been at the foundation of the social order; with the political and legal structure; and with the conduct of war. The chapter on the examines the politico-religious office of the Sheikh or Sultan as the focal point of the community, and how under successive occupants of this position, the Geledi became the dominant power in this part of Somalia. Part B deals with colonial and post-colonial influences. After an outline of the history of Somalia since 1889, with special reference to Geledi, the changes in society brought about by those events are (iii) described.

  • Ethiopian and Eritrean Askaris in Libya (1911- 1932) Dechasa Abebe1
    Ethiopian Journal of the Social Sciences and Humanities (EJOSSAH) ISSN (online): 2520-582X ISSN (print): 1810-4487 Ethiopian and Eritrean Askaris in Libya (1911- 1932) Dechasa Abebe1 Abstract A number of books and articles were published on the three consecutive Italian wars in Libya and its resistances during the first three decades of the twentieth century. However, the role and experiences of the Ethiopian and Eritrean askaris were rarely studied. Thus, this article is an attempt to disclose their role in the wars, why they were interested in being employed by the Italians and why Italy relied heavily on them instead of the Italian soldiers and the Libyan askaris. Historical sources, like the memoires of Italian military commanders and the askaris, travellers’ accounts mainly that of journalists, correspondence documents, and popular songs particularly that of Tigrigna were consulted to write this article. Moreover, publications produced by military historians on the Italian wars in Libya were also referred. While starvation and famines, poverty, unemployment and maladministration were the driving force from Eritrea and Ethiopia; salary, military uniform, guns and bullets, rations, protections and relative freedom were some of the attractions from the Italian side for the Ethiopians and Eritreans to be employed as askaris. In relation to these, political expediency or loss aversion, cost, fighting skill and courage, adaptability to Libyan topography and loyalty were some of the qualities of Ethiopians and Eritrean askaris that initiated the Italians to rely on. As a result, about 68 battalions fought in the wars. In the process, the askaris were identified by their Italian commanders as “warlike race” and best soldiers in contrast to the Italian soldiers and Libyan collaborators.
