Box 65013, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania b Laboratory of Pharmacognosy, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Antwerp, Universiteitsplein 1, 2610 Antwerp, Belgium Received 8 February 2007; received in revised form 29 May 2007; accepted 1 July 2007 Available online 10 July 2007 Abstract An ethnobotanical study was carried out in six villages in the Bunda district, Mara Region, Tanzania, where the use of plants still has a special meaning to the society, in the treatment of various diseases. Information was obtained from the traditional healers and other experienced persons, having some knowledge on medicinal plants. Fifty-two plants were reported for use in the treatment of various infectious diseases. These plants belong to 29 families, with Papilionaceae being the most represented. Leaves ranked the highest, especially for use in topical preparations. Oral administration was the most frequently used route of administration. Twenty-one percent of the recorded plants were reported for treating venereal diseases, with syphilis and gonorrhea being the most commonly mentioned. Information providers requested feedback with regard to the plants proven scientifically to be toxic in order to avoid risks while offering their services. From this work it was found out that, people in this area commonly use medicinal plants with trust they have built on the curative outcome witnessed. -
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: Bunda Climate Resilience and Adaptation Project Type of Implementing Entity: National Implementing Entity (NIE) Implementing Entity: National Environment Management Council (NEMC) Executing Entity/ies: Bunda District Council Amount of Financing Requested: 1,400,000 (In U.S Dollars Equivalent) 1.0 Project Background and Context 1.1 Brief background on what the project aims to solve Bunda district represents the section of poor rural communities of Mara region in the Lake Victoria Zone of Tanzania, who are already vulnerable to impacts of climate change1. Key climate elements like temperature, rainfall and wind speed have been shifting their historical trends and magnitudes over time. As a result, extreme climate and weather driven events such as droughts, prolonged dry periods, erratic rainfall and strong winds are more common across the district nowadays2. The observed climate vagaries coupled with high poverty level have already caused their toll to people, their socio-economic, livelihood and environmental systems. Crop failures, water scarcity and livestock deaths due to drought are already common events in the area. Rainfall seasons and number of rainy days has greatly changed and declined, affecting economic, social, environment and peoples’ livelihoods. Communities are experiencing failures of their traditional livelihood systems with no replacement or alternatives3. Dependence on fishing is also under threat due to catch decrease. As a result, the Poverty and Human Development Report released in 2005 by the United Republic of Tanzania ranked the district as the poorest with the highest rates of income poverty. -

Towards Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in the Mara River Basin in Northeast Tanzania
Journal of Ecology and the Natural Environment Vol. 2(10), pp. 213-224, October 2010 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/jene ISSN 2006- 9847 ©2010 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Towards sustainable management of natural resources in the Mara river basin in Northeast Tanzania Majule, A. E. Institute of Resource Assessment, University of Dar es Salaam, P. O. Box 35097, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected]. Tel: +255 754365644. Fax: +255 222410393. Accepted 7 October, 2010 Lack of coordination among sectors and institutions is among factors that results in ineffective management of natural resources in most basins in east Africa including Tanzania. In many cases, this has reported to be the most factor contributing natural resources degradation and conflicts between societies. This paper presents findings on different factors affecting the sustainability of the Mara River Basin (MRB) and proposes a management framework that will bring about sustainable resources use in the basin. The study was limited to the MRB part of Tanzania and multiple approaches were used in data collection. The MRB is experiencing a number of management problems including deforestation, land degradation and pollution of the river water associated with human activities. Institutional framework for natural resource management (NRM) is rather sectoral thus lacking integration and sometimes results into conflicting efforts to conserve natural resources. It is evident that some cultural attitudes including gender have positive impact on natural resources management such as the customary land tenure system. For sustainability of the MRB resources, a well coordination of natural resources and livelihoods projects, programs and stakeholders’ participation is a key factor without neglecting cultural aspects. -

Women Are the Key to Climate Adaption
Female farmers’ living conditions and vulnerability towards climate change in northern Tanzania Kvinnliga bönders livsvillkor och utsatthet inför klimat- förändringar i norra Tanzania A minor field study on how Vi Agroforestry´s work affects the women. Bachelor Thesis Environmental Science Malmö University Author: Åsa Fagerström Supervisor: Graciela Ratti Spring 2011 1 Abstract In Tanzania, entire families depend on their women for survival, since they do most of the work in the household and are also the food producers. Despite this important role, women are being aggrieved and lack enough power, rights and access to land tenure. Ignoring women’s importance in this way may lead to disastrous consequences, as climate changes are a major threat to those people depending on nature for their survival. Vi Agroforestry is doing a tremendous job in improving the living conditions for the small-scale East African farmers by educating them in agricultural techniques that will have a positive effect on their standard of living. This study shows that this work helps the farmers in their everyday life by improving living conditions, which includes bigger harvests, more nutritious and balanced diet, and the possibility of taking loans through micro-financing. However, when it comes to women having more empowerment in their society, there is still a lot to be done since there are huge obstacles standing in their way, such as politics, ancient culture, customs and beliefs, all of which prevent women from attaining the acknowledgement they rightly deserve. And most importantly, when the climate begins to change more rapidly, women will be a major influence regarding adaptation to climate changes that will affect these people’s lives dramatically. -

Every time I came to visit my parents, I was greeted by bad news Matongo Dispensary Staff House that someone is dead or is seriously nearing completion sick but there was no hope of curing such bad news without a nearby health facility. I have witnessed with my own eyes young mothers dying delivering babies, very many children under five years dying from pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea. The act and sign of building a dispensary in Matongo is a redemption from death to life for the poor and marginalized community. We live in this valley because we depend on small produce we get from farming… I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the donor TDT for their generous support to Matongo. The staff house has raised up our hope to have our own dispensary soon. We will be healthier, safer and produce many crops. May God Bless TDT’’ 21st June 2014 Our Tanzania Development Trust— TDT (UK registered charity, No. 270462) was founded 39 years ago. The founders said in the Trust Deed that our aims were “to relieve poverty and sickness among the people of Tanzania by means of the development of education, health and other social services, the improvement of water supplies and other communal facilities and the promotion of self- help activities”.
