PRS Assessment on Chronic Poverty in Tanzania: Focusing on The
Jjjgggggdrfgygfyhgfh Background Paper for the Chronic Poverty Report 2008-09 PRS Assessment on Chronic Poverty in Tanzania: Focusing on the Health and HIV/AIDS Sector What is Chronic Poverty? The distinguishing feature of chronic poverty is extended duration in absolute poverty. Tamahi Yamauchi Therefore, chronically poor people always, or usually, live below a poverty line, which is normally defined in terms of a money indicator (e.g. consumption, income, etc.), but could also be defined in terms of wider or subjective aspects of deprivation. This is different from the transitorily poor, who move in and out of poverty, or only occasionally fall below the poverty line. www.chronicpoverty.org The research for this Background Paper was made possible by funding from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

BRIEFING NOTE March 2015 ETHNIC VIOLENCE IN MOROGORO REGION IN TANZANIA n early 2015, Morogoro Region of Tanzania was the scene of deadly violence targeting minority Maasai and Datoga pasto- Iralist groups,1 which raised concerns in Parliament that the assaults could descend into ethnic based violence and spread across the country2. These assaults are said to be instigated by public figures with interests in acquiring land3. State authori- ties have not intervened to protect Maasai and Datoga citizens; rather police protection has been provided to others who are illegally cultivating officially registered Maasai village land. The violent episodes experienced since mid-January 2015 follow on from a decade of poor governance in Morogoro Region, with illegal eviction and dispossession of Maasai and Datoga citizens accompanied by human rights violations. None of these offences have been addressed despite high court rulings and numerous commissions of enquiry4. This brief provides a review of the violent and often deadly attacks on Maasai and Datoga citizens in Morogoro Region, committed between 15 January and the end of February 2015 as well as recommendations to duty bearers and other stakeholders. The brief is informed by civil society organisations5, official records of the Tanzanian Parliament and the media, and reference will be made where possible6. Since January 15, assaults have led to between 6 and 15 deaths (numbers still to be confirmed7) and many people have been injured and robbed. Six Maasai women were raped, 38 Maasai homesteads on village land were burned to the ground and 77 cattle were stolen. Currently 266 men, women and children are living in Mabwegere Village (Kilosa District of Morogoro Region) without food, shelter or protection.

Mvomero District, Tanzania1
Lyatuu & Urassa, Land Access in Tanzania Intersect, Vol 8, No 1 (2014) Land Access and Associated Factors in Densely and Sparsely Populated Areas: Mvomero District, Tanzania1 Patricia M. Lyatuu and Justin K. Urassa Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy, Sokoine University of Agriculture Abstract Ensuring secure land access for rural inhabitants is a global challenge aimed to end the vicious cycle of poverty and natural resources degradation. Two important measures of secure land access include the ability to acquire tenure rights and benefits gained from the land, and yet available studies have given them little attention to date. This study drew data from 267 households in the Morogoro region of Tanzania using a questionnaire. In addition, focus group discussions and key informants were employed to explore the means and processes through which farmers in densely and sparsely populated areas—Mgeta division and Mlali division, respectively—derive a living from land. The study employed a cross-sectional design to collect qualitative and quantitative data, the latter of which was analyzed using SPSS, whereby descriptive and inferential statistics were determined. Results showed that most of the households acquire farmland through inheritance and purchase. Nonetheless, more than one third of the households in both sites were without secure land ownership. We found that access to arable land in Mgeta was constrained by soil erosion and repeated fragmentation, forcing farmers to excessively apply fertilizers, to expand farms through seasonal migration, and to trek up to 6 hours to reach their farms. In addition, lack of irrigation water discouraged many from settling in land-abundant areas, since in Mgeta water was readily available from nearby catchments.

Small Farmer Productivity Through Increased Access to Draught Power Opportunities
MOVEK Development Solution SMALL FARMER PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH INCREASED ACCESS TO DRAUGHT POWER OPPORTUNITIES Consultancy Report Stakeholder mapping in Morogoro region December 2008 (Final Report) ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The Department for International Development (DfID has been a major supporter of natural resource research through its Renewable Natural Resource Research Strategy (RNRRS) which ran from 1995 to 2006. The results realized through such initiatives have enormous potential to alleviate poverty, promote economic growth, and mitigate the environmental problem. Unfortunately these efforts were not able to produce the expected results. 2. Within this reality, Research Into Use (RIU) programme has been conceived to meet this challenge. The approach used by RIU programme is slightly different from previous approaches since it has shifted its emphasis away from the generation of new knowledge to the ways in which knowledge is put into productive use 3. To complement the innovation system, the RIU programme intended to work with a network of partners (innovation platforms) working on common theme and using research knowledge in ways it hasn’t been used before to generate improved goods and services for the benefit of the poor. 4. To start the RIU programme in Tanzania identified three innovation platforms, three farm products in three regions as pilot domains. One of the platforms is access to draught power which is thought to enhance productivity of small holder farmers through increased access to and capacity to utilize draught power opportunities in Ulanga, Kilombero, Kilosa, and Mvomero districts 5. This report is based on the findings of the mapping study conducted in Ulanga, Kilombero, Kilosa and Mvomero districts which overlaped to Morogoro municipality 6.

Sources of Agricultural Information for Women Farmers in Hai and Kilosa Districts, Tanzania THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfill
Sources of Agricultural Information for Women Farmers in Hai and Kilosa Districts, Tanzania THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Lucas Isaya, B.S. Graduate Program in Agricultural and Extension Education The Ohio State University 2015 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Robert Agunga, Advisor Dr. Robert J. Birkenholz Copyright by Elizabeth Lucas Isaya 2015 ABSTRACT This study investigated sources of agricultural information used by women farmers in Tanzania. Women farmers constitute the majority of farmers in Tanzania. Enabling them to increase food production will help achieve the government’s goals of achieving food security and agro-based industrialization. However, it is not clear where women farmers obtain information on modern farming methods. Knowing these sources will enable the Tanzanian government and international aid organizations channel information directed toward women farmers through those sources. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify women farmer’s sources of information in agriculture. Due to limited funding and time constraints, the study involved a survey of 300 women farmers in Hai and Kilosa districts of Kilimanjaro and Morogoro Regions, respectively. The survey was completed using an interview schedule. Of the 300 respondents sampled, 288 provided usable data for the study yielding a response rate of 96%. Six research objectives guided this study, namely: (a) examine the demographic characteristics of women farmers in Tanzania; (b) describe sources of information on modern farming methods for women farmers; (c) assess innovative farming methods adopted by women farmers; (d) examine women farmers’ access to and use of ICTs; (e) examine women farmers’ access to and use of agricultural extension agents; and (f) examine other challenges facing women farmers in Tanzania.

View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Enhancing dairy-based livelihoods in India andprovided by CGSpace Tanzania through feed innovation and value chain development approaches Report of a livestock feed assessment in Mvomero District, Morogoro Region, the United Republic of Tanzania By Fred Wassena (CIAT), Anthony Mbeho (TALIRI) and Abiliza E. Kimambo (SUA) In collaboration with Brigitte L. Maass (CIAT) and Ben Lukuyu (ILRI) Nairobi, Kenya: International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) May 2013 FEAST Mvomero District ♦ Morogoro Region ♦ Tanzania 2013 Summary A Feed assessment tool (FEAST) was applied in characterizing the production systems mainly related to feed innovation in Mvomero district. The villages involved were Wami Sokoine and Manyinga. The exercise was categorized into two sessions, namely, focus group discussions and individual interviews. A number of 63 and 27 participants (farmers) were involved in the focus group discussion and individual interviews, respectively. The two villages have different agro-ecological zones, marking their variation in production systems and other livestock and agricultural activities. In feeding practices, grazing and cut and carry systems dominate in Wami Sokoine and Manyinga villages, respectively, with high contribution in the diets. Key issues identified were markets and improved breeds in Manyinga, while land, water and markets were the key issues in Wami Sokoine. These could mark the potential entry points for interventions in each village. Acknowledgements We wish to acknowledge the ready collaboration and openness in sharing their views and experiences of all respondents. The participation of facilitators Dr. Ben Lukuyu (ILRI) and Dr. Brigitte Maass (CIAT) during the training is appreciated; facilitation of the partners in Morogoro by Professors Laswai and Kimambo from SUA.
