Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli President of the United Republic of Tanzania “Statistics are very vital in the development of any country particularly when they are of good quality since they enable government to understand the needs of its people, set goals and formulate development programmes and monitor their implementation” H.E. Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli the President of the United Republic of Tanzania at the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the new NBS offices in Dodoma December, 2017. What is the importance of statistics in your daily life? “Statistical information is very important as it helps a person to do things in an organizational way with greater precision unlike when one does not have. In my business, for example, statistics help me know where I can get raw materials, get to know the number of my customers and help me prepare products accordingly. Indeed, the numbers show the trend of my business which allows me to predict the future. My customers are both locals and foreigners who yearly visit the region. In June every year, I gather information from various institutions which receive foreign visitors here in Dodoma. With estimated number of visitors in hand, it gives me ample time to prepare products for my clients’ satisfaction. In terms of my daily life, Statistics help me in understanding my daily household needs hence make proper expenditures.” Mr. Kulwa James Zimba, Artist, Sixth street Dodoma.”.

  • Accessibility of Resources by Gender: the Case of Morogoro Region in Tanzania
    4 Accessibility of Resources by Gender: The Case of Morogoro Region in Tanzania Christine G. Ishengoma Introduction: The Concept of Gender Gender has been defined in a variety of ways, both in research and generally. While it usually refers to men and women, it encapsulates more than the differ- ences between them. Early definitions use gender to describe social and biologi- cal differences between women and men. It is particularly applied to social mean- ings of biological sex differences or behavioural aspects of men and women shaped by social forces (Riley 1997). In this study, we use a definition by Riley (1997) focusing on the socio-eco- nomic aspects of gender. Three major points emanate from Riley’s definition. First, gender is a social institution. It is central to the way a society is organised and, like the family, religion, race and other social institutions, affects the role men and women play in a society. Gender also establishes patterns of behaviour through interaction with other institutions. Secondly, gender involves differences in power. Gender orders social rela- tionships, giving some individuals greater power than others. It affects both ‘power to’ and ‘power over’. ‘Power to’ refers to the ability to act in society and often requires access to social resources such as education, money, land and time. Individuals with ‘power over’ are able to assert their wishes and goals even in the face of opposition from others. In every society, the roles assumed by women and men determine their opportunities and privileges. Women usually have less ‘power to inherit land, for example.

  • To Sell Or Not to Sell – Maasai Milk Marketing in Ngerengere, Tanzania
    African Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics Volume 9 Number 2 pages 106-118 To sell or not to sell – Maasai milk marketing in Ngerengere, Tanzania Tim K Loos* University of Hohenheim (490a), Stuttgart, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Manfred Zeller University of Hohenheim (490a), Stuttgart, Germany. E-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract In Maasai culture, responsibilities and labour are divided between the genders. Men are in charge of the herd and thus control the main income source. Women take care of the family and are responsible for milking. Milk sales provide the women’s main income source. In this paper, using olmarei- (= household) and enkaji- (= sub-household) data from the milk catchment area of a collection centre in Ngerengere, Tanzania, we assess the potential impact of milk sales on enkaji income. We estimate the effect by employing propensity score-matching procedures. Our findings suggest that milk sellers earn significantly higher average income per capita than non-sellers. This appears to be especially true for enkajijik selling milk to other buyers rather than to the collection centre. Other buyers reach more remote areas, usually offer higher prices, but only purchase limited amounts of milk. The collection centre, on the other hand, is a guaranteed market with large capacity. Keywords: milk sales; income effect; propensity score matching; Maasai; Tanzania 1. Introduction Livestock are one of the major agricultural sub-sectors in Tanzania. Its contribution to the national gross domestic product is estimated at 4.7%, of which about one third is attributed to the dairy sector (URT 2012).

    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.

  • 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.
