Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT With independence in 1961, the British system of Parliamentary government, incorporating the principle of responsible government, was formally adopted in Tanzania. But within only one year that system was discarded first, by adopting a Republican Constitution with an executive President in 1962, and then by adopting a one-party state system of government in 1965. The one-party system reached the height of prominence through the concept of "Party Supremacy", and dominated constitutional practice for a whole generation before giving way to demands for greater freedom and democracy through competitive politics in 1992. Throughout this time, however, the preambles to successive constitutions proclaimed that the government in Tanzania was responsible to a freely elected Parliament representative of the people. This thesis traces the constitutional developments in Tanzania during the first three decades after independence so as to assess the extent to which the principle of "Responsible Government" has been maintained. It analyses the adoption of the Republican Constitution with an executive President having enormous powers even to override the Parliament, and tries to show that the one- party system and the concept of Party Supremacy, while appearing to replace Parliament with the Party as the instrument of democratic responsibility, merely served to legitimise the government tendency of holding the people ^responsible to it, rather than the other way round. While acknowledging the contribution of external influence in reversing that trend and working towards changes for a more responsible and democratic government as signalled by the constitutional amendments of 1992, the thesis highlights some internal factors which have played very important roles in that development. These include the personal contribution of the ii first President of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere, who, although very dominant, nevertheless had the foresight to reverse his previous positions and welcome a Bill of Rights in the Constitution in 1984, and encourage competitive politics in 1990. The thesis welcomes these latest changes, but still insists on greater popular participation in making a new Constitution and in all future constitution making. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For this work I wish to thank the Association of Commonwealth Universities for awarding me a Commonwealth Scholarship which enabled me to undertake this study at the School of Oriental and African Studies, which was a wonderful place to do this kind of work. I also thank the University of Dar es Salaam for granting me study leave for the entire period I was engaged in this work. Many people helped me through with the work. Paul Nyerembe, Salome Makange and Susan Mkapa were among the friends and colleagues who helped me a lot during the early stages, though they may not have realised this. Mosley Owino and Bwire Kaare gave me wonderful support during the write-up stage at London House. My colleagues Issa Shivji and Mike Wambali happened to be at Warwick at the same time and readily gave me the help I needed from them, while David Brewin was always a wonderful generous host - my visits to his house in London were always very refreshing. Angelo Mapunda, Hamid Nassoro and Peter Kasikila often sent me documents that I needed from Dar es Salaam. I wish to thank them all. It is customary to thank one's supervisor, but I would like to do more than thank Professor James Read because to me he was more than just a supervisor. His patience with me had no limits, and is not easy to measure up to the extent of encouragement he gave me in doing this work. I wish to thank him very much. While I was writing this thesis in London, my family endured by absence from them in Dar es Salaam without complaint. I wish to thank them for their patience. There are many others, impossible to mention them all by their names, who helped me in various ways. I thank them all. But none of all these good people is responsible for the shortcomings of this work.

    Process in Tanzania the Political, Civil and Economic Society

    Tanzania has been independent in 2011 for 50 years. While most neighbouring states have Jonas gone through violent conflicts, Tanzania has managed to implement extensive reforms with- out armed political conflicts. Hence, Tanzania is an interesting case for Peace and Develop- ment research. E Challenges for the This dissertation analyses the political development in Tanzania since the introduction of wald the multiparty system in 1992, with a focus on the challenges for the democratisation process democratisation in connection with the 2000 and 2005 elections. The question of to what extent Tanzania has moved towards a consolidation of democracy, is analysed through an analysis of nine different institutions of importance for democratisation, grouped in four spheres, the state, Challenges for the process in Tanzania the political, civil and economic society. Focus is on the development of the political society, and the role of the opposition in particular. The analysis is based on secondary and primary Moving towards consolidation 50 years material collected in the period September 2000 to April 2010. after indepencence? The main conclusion is that even if the institutions of liberal democracy have gradually developed, in practice single-party rule has continued, manifested in the 2005 election when the CCM won 92% of the seats in the parliament. Despite an impressive economic growth, poverty remains deep and has not been substantially reduced. On a theoretical level this brings the old debate between liberal and substantive democracy back to the fore. Neither the economic nor the political reforms have apparently brought about a transformation of the political and economic system resulting in the poor majority gaining substantially more political influence and improved economic conditions.

  • Python Challenge #1 in Python, We Can Use Lists To

    Python Challenge #1 in Python, We Can Use Lists To

    Python Challenge #1 In Python, we can use lists to store related items together in a single place. Two examples are: tanzanian_election_years = [1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015] tanzanian_presidents = [“John Magu uli!, “Ja"aya #i"$ete!, “%en&a'in M"apa!, ( “)li *assan M$inyi!, “Julius +yerere!] 1. On a computer or tablet, write a Python program that prints out each year that Tanzania has had a general election. In Python, you can loop over the items of a list like this: or ite' in list, - do so'ething $ith ite' 2. Using your answer for #1, change it slightly so that it only prints out the years in which Tanzania has had a general election after the year 1999. 3. Sometimes we want to work with two lists at the same time. Say we are given the following list of Tanzanian vice presidents: tanzanian_.ice_presidents = [“/a'ia /uluhu!, “Moha'ed 0hari1 %ilal!, ( “2'ar )li Ju'a!, “3leopa Msuya!, “)1oud Ju'1e!] and we want to match each vice president with the president he or she served with. We can use Python’s zip() function to do this. To illustrate how zip() works, type the following into your Python interpreter (note: don’t type the “>>>”, that is printed by the Python interpreter itself): 444 ruits = [“apple!, “grape!, “1lue1erry!] 444 colors = [“green!, “purple!, “1lue!] 444 zip5 ruits, colors6 [57apple8, 7green86, 57grape8, purple86, 571lue1erry8, 71lue86] Notice how Python matched each of the fruits in our first list with its corresponding color in the second list. The zip() function itself returns a list, which we can use in our own for loops.

    Two Ideas for Cash on Delivery Aid for Education in Tanzania: a Briefing Note Nancy Birdsall, Rita Perakis and William Savedoff1

    Two ideas for Cash on Delivery Aid for Education in Tanzania: A Briefing Note Nancy Birdsall, Rita Perakis and William Savedoff1 Introduction This note outlines two possible ways for Tanzania and its development partners to implement a new foreign aid mechanism, Cash on Delivery Aid (COD Aid),2 that puts greater attention on outcomes and country ownership. Based on our research, the Government of Tanzania is in a good position to request support for its education sector in the form of a COD Aid agreement. The ideas presented here are meant to serve as a starting point for discussions in the hope that they might facilitate the design and implementation of such pilots. I. COD Aid for increased learning in primary education (early grades) Background In the past decade Tanzania has made tremendous strides in expanding primary and secondary schooling, and is on track to achieve the education Millennium Development Goal. However, assessments of school age children indicate alarmingly low levels of learning in Tanzania’s public primary schools. A majority of students cannot pass an assessment of basic literacy and numeracy – in Kiswahili, English and arithmetic, at the Standard II level. 3 For instance, 71.7 percent of Standard III students could not read a basic story in Kiswahili in 2011 (see table below). 1 This note is based on a visit to Tanzania from March 12 to 16, 2012, in collaboration with CGD partner Twaweza. It reflects discussions and inputs from a wide range of actors from government, civil society, universities and think tanks who were kind enough to take the time to meet with us.
