Towards an Alternative Development Ethic for the Fishing Sector of Ukerewe District, Tanzania TOWARDS AN ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT ETHIC FOR THE FISHING SECTOR OF UKEREWE DISTRICT, TANZANIA By ALMAS FORTUNATUS MAZIGO Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Ethics at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Johan P. Hattingh (Department of Philosophy, Stellenbosch University, South Africa) Co-supervisor: Doctor Magdalena K. Ngaiza (Institute of Development Studies, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) March 2015 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this doctoral dissertation electronically I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. AF Mazigo Stellenbosch, 21st January 2015 Copyright © Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT This study was prompted by the increasing vulnerability and impoverishment of local fishing folk in Ukerewe District in Tanzania in the midst of the potential of the fishing sector to generate wealth and the many capable actors and stakeholders who can provide essential services and opportunities that can help the fishing folk to overcome their challenges and improve their lot in generating wealth. Taking the view that some forms of poverty have their roots in the moral system of the people, institutions and organisations involved, and considering the call made by Tanzania’s Second National Strategy for Growth and Poverty Reduction to key actors and stakeholders to design and implement interventions that would improve the chances of poor actors to generate wealth, this study aimed to discover what would motivate capable actors and stakeholders in the fishing sector of Ukerewe District to do so. The study asked whether there are ethical values and principles that have the potential to inspire and guide capable actors and stakeholders to reconsider the fate of constrained local actors, and to make a responsible commitment to address their constraining conditions, as well as to determine how these ethical ideas, if any, can be explicated, formulated and implemented. Empirical research was undertaken in Ukerewe District from October 2012 to March 2013. It followed an applied ethics case study methodology, combined with focus groups, life narratives and in-depth individual interviews. Three hundred and ten local actors and stakeholders in the fishing sector of Ukerewe were engaged in progressive stages of critical self-reflection and dialogue within and between particular stakeholder groups. These 310 participants reflected and deliberated on what constituted the poverty of local actors, what it would take to overcome that poverty and what would motivate capable actors and stakeholders to combat that poverty. The collected evidence led to the establishment of the following: First, the fishing sector offers adequate opportunities to invest in and work to generate income and goods to improve socio- economic conditions. Second, local fishing folk fall into poverty because they are constrained from generating wealth. Third, the local fishing folk could improve their capacities to generate wealth and overcome their poverty through expanded opportunities to acquire and use the relevant competence, efficient productive forces and fisheries infrastructure, formal financial credit and insurance services. Fourth, fulfilling institutional and professional obligations, contributing to possible good consequences and preventing possible bad consequences in the life of the local fishing folk, the fishing sector, their own organisations and society, and showing care for, respect to and solidarity with local fishing folk would motivate most capable actors and stakeholders to undertake pro-poor actions in the fisheries sections. Based on what the respondents revealed to value and what they wanted to achieve in their fishing sector, an alternative development ethic, namely the Sufficient Capabilities and Wealth Ethic (SUCAWE), was constructed. The SUCAWE offers insightful and empowering moral resources for self-management and for the management of multiple actors and stakeholders in wealth creation and the combating of poverty. ii Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za OPSOMMING Hierdie studie het ontstaan uit die toenemende weerloosheid en verarming van die plaaslike vissersgemeenskap van die Ukerewe Distrik in Tanzania te midde van die potensiaal van die visserysektor om welvaart te skep, en die vele agente en belanghebbendes wat in staat is daartoe om noodsaaklike dienste en geleenthede te voorsien wat kan help dat die visserygemeenskap hulle uitdagings oorkom en hulle lot verbeter deur welvaart te skep. Uitgaande van die standpunt dat sekere vorme van armoede wortel in die morele sisteem van die mense, instellings en organisasies betrokke, en met in ag neming van die oproep wat aan sleutelagente en belanghebbendes gerig is met Tanzania se Second National Strategy for Growth and Poverty Reduction om ingrepe te ontwerp en te implementeer wat die kanse sal verbeter van armes om welvaart te skep, het hierdie studie beoog om dit bloot te lê wat vermoënde agente en belanghebbendes in die visserysektor van die Ukerewe Distrik sou motiveer om dit te doen. Hierdie studie het die vraag gestel of daar etiese waardes en beginsels is met die potensiaal om vermoënde agente en belanghebbendes te inspireer en daartoe te lei om die lot van plaaslike agente wat deur armoede beperk word, in heroorweging te neem, en 'n verantwoordelike verbintenis aan te gaan om hierdie beperkende omstandighede aan te spreek, en het ook gepoog om te bepaal hoe hierdie etiese idees, indien enige, blootgelê, geformuleer en geïmplementeer kan word. Empiriese navorsing is onderneem in die Ukerewe Distrik vanaf Oktober 2012 to Maart 2013. Hierin is die metodologie van 'n gevallestudie in toegepaste etiek gevolg, gekombineer met fokusgroepbesprekings, lewensverhale en in-diepte individuele onderhoude. Driehonderd en tien plaaslike agente en belanghebbendes in die visserysektor van Ukerewe is betrek in progressiewe fases van kritiese self-refleksie en dialoog in en tussen spesifieke groepe van belanghebbendes. Hierdie 310 deelnemers het dit wat die armoede van plaaslike agente meebring, ontleed en oorweeg, asook wat dit sou behels om hierdie armoede te oorkom, en wat vermoënde agente en belanghebbendes sou kon motiveer om hierdie armoede te beveg. Op grond van die inligting wat versamel is, kon die volgende bepaal word: Eerstens, die visserysektor bied voldoende geleenthede vir beleggings en werk waardeur inkomste en goedere tot stand kan kom waardeur sosio-ekonomiese omstandighede verbeter kan word. Tweedens, plaaslike vissers verval in armoede omdat hulle beperk word om welvaart te skep. Derdens, plaaslike vissers kan hulle vermoë om welvaart te skep om armoede te oorkom, verbeter deur die geleenthede uit te brei vir hulle om relevante vaardighede, doeltreffende produksiekragte en vissery-infrastruktuur, formele finansiële krediet en versekeringsdienste te bekom en te gebruik. Vierdens, die meeste vermoënde agente en belanghebbendes wat in staat is tot pro-arm optrede in die visserysektor sou daartoe gemotiveer kon word deur institusionele en professionele verpligtinge na te kom, deur by te dra tot moontlike goeie gevolge en moontlike slegte gevolge in die lewe van plaaslike vissers, die visserysektor, hulle eie organisasies en die samelewing te voorkom, en deur sorgsaamheid vir, respek teenoor en solidariteit met die plaaslike vissersgemeenskap te openbaar. Op grond van wat die deelnemers openbaar het oor dit waaraan hulle waarde heg, asook wat hulle graag sou wou bereik in die deel van die visserysektor waarby hulle betrokke is, is 'n alternatiewe ontwikkelingsetiek geformuleer, te wete die Sufficient Capabilities and Wealth Ethic (SUCAWE). Die SUCAWE bied insiggewende en bemagtigende morele hulpbronne vir self-bestuur, asook vir die bestuur van 'n verskeidenheid van agente en belanghebbendes betrokke by die skepping van welvaart en die bekamping van armoede. iii Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DEDICATION In loving memory of the late Mzee Fortunatus Ninalwo Kanwagale, my lovely father Mzee Ntulanalwo Mazani, my neighbour and friend Mwalimu Enos Mafula, my teacher and friend David Mtabi Ninalwo, my younger brother iv Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This doctoral project went through several stages and benefited from the support of many persons and organisations.

Such efforts arose from the perceived impact of globalisation and modernisation towards this form of heritage among different communities in the world. Most of the previous research has focused on why ICH is in danger and ways that can be used to remedy the situation. Few efforts have been directed towards understanding how the local community ‘cultural practitioners’ have traditionally been safeguarding their ICH, and how such knowledge can be integrated into the present-day safeguarding initiatives.

  • Community Solutions to Gender Discrimination of Ukerewe
    COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS TO GENDER DISCRIMINATION OF UKEREWE SCHOOLGIRLS by RACHEL JOY MOORE HAGUES (Under the Direction of Thomas “Mick” Coleman) University of Georgia ABSTRACT This ethnographic study used tenants of critical ethnography to examine gender discrimination of schoolgirls in and around secondary schools on the main island of Ukerewe, Tanzania. Overarching questions included: In what ways (if any) do girls feel pressured or manipulated into sex acts with their teachers or fellow male students? How, if at all, do girls perceive they will benefit if they choose to have sexual relations with teachers or male students? When girls experience gender discrimination or abuse in/around school settings, whom do they tell (if anyone)? What are local women’s perceptions of how the justice system (local- and country- level) handles abuse claims of schoolgirls? Thirty in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with Ukerewe women and participant observation was performed at 5 secondary schools with schoolgirls (n = 400). A thematic analysis was conducted using data from the interviews, participant observations (including the girls’ skits, group discussions, and reading from journal assignments), and my own observations made at the school and living in the community. The ecological- transactional theory was utilized to identify themes at the various levels of the girls’ lives and making recommendations for interventions and policy change. Member checking was conducted with my advisors: my Kiswahili interpreter and elders in the local

  • A Sociolinguistic Survey of the Kara and Kerewe Peoples
    DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2017-002 A Sociolinguistic Survey of the Kara and Kerewe Peoples Staci Bradshaw and Shannon Odom A Sociolinguistic Survey of the Kara and Kerewe Peoples Staci Bradshaw and Shannon Odom ® SIL International 2016 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2017-002, December 2016 © 2017 SIL International® All rights reserved Abstract A team from the Uganda-Tanzania Branch of SIL International visited the Kara [reg] and Kerewe [ked] language areas in Mwanza Region, Tanzania, in September 2014. They conducted a sociolinguistic survey with the purpose of determining which languages can best be used for literature development for the Kara and Kerewe communities. The survey included an assessment of the dialect situations and the current vitality of the two languages, and also an assessment of the groups’ comprehension of nearby languages. The team gathered data from four research locations in the Kerewe language area and two in the Kara language area. Methods used by the team included group interviews, word and phrase list elicitation, and intelligibility tests, which involved playing recorded stories from the neighboring languages and testing participants’ understanding of the stories. The team then analyzed both the linguistic and the sociolinguistic data from the survey. The team found that both languages are vital, and that the Kara and Kerewe communities have positive attitudes toward their languages. The team recommends that although the Kara people may possibly be able to use literature from the nearby Jita language, they would also benefit from using literature in their own language if it is developed. For the Kerewe language the recommendation is that it be developed and literature produced, using the variety of Kerewe found in eastern Ukerewe Island.
