development Committee iv CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Information Jijenge filling the gap project in Tanzania was implemented through AMREF Spain and funded by Junta Castila Leon to institutionalize a gender responsive approach in the primary health care services in the Lake Victoria zone. The project’s broad aim was to strengthen the right of women to receive health assistance through community sensitization and training of Health Service Providers (HSPs) in eight districts of Mwanza and Mara Regions. The districts included: Mwanza City, Sengerema, Missungwi, Kwimba, Magu, Ukerewe, Geita, and Serengeti. These districts were chosen as a focus area because of the high prevalence of violations against women in the region such as female genital mutilation (FGM), women battering and deeply rooted customs and taboos that deny women to access quality health care. Rights based gender sensitive approach was the backbone of the intervention. This project was responding directly to the two international edicts of 1994; the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Programme of Action for the International Convention on Population and Development (ICPD). Jijenge project was also addressing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) where among other critical issues of concern sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and human rights were sited to be key intervention areas. The Jijenge filling the gap has been operating for two years between September 2008 and September 2010 as a back up of the 3 years Jijenge extension phase that ended in June 2008. The direct beneficiaries were women of reproductive age (15-49 years) that lived in the intervention areas. Other beneficiaries

According to the country's Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security the food deficit in Tanzania is linked to the failure of short rains between August and November 2005 which account for 30% of annual harvests in the country. A Rapid Vulnerability Assessment carried out by the government, WFP, and NGOs in early February identified 564,000 of the total impacted population as being destitute and in need of free food distribution. To date, the government of Tanzania has not declared a national emergency but WFP and NGOs are concerned that government resources are insufficient to meet the urgent needs of this vulnerable population. The long rainy season is now expected between March and May, but if it fails or comes too late, the number of people needing food relief could go up. ACT member the Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) is appealing for assistance to provide food relief to approximately 80,500 of the most destitute people in seven regions in rural Tanzania, to be distributed through its member churches the Anglican Church of Tanzania (ACT), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT), the African Inland Church of Tanzania (AIC) and the Mennonite Church of Tanzania (MEN) stationed across the country.

  • A Case of Ilemela and Magu Districts in Tanzania
    Journal of the Geographical Association of Tanzania, Vol. 36 No. 2: 35–44 Water and Pasture Availability on Livestock Routes Under a Changing Climate: A Case of Ilemela and Magu Districts in Tanzania Siwa Ernest*, Martine Hagai† & Japhet J. Kashaigili‡ Abstract The beef cattle production system practiced in the Lake Victoria Basin is mainly extensive, which involves cattle grazing on natural pastures. This system is characterized by overgrazing, low livestock production and soil degradation. Under the effects of global climate change, these pastoral management challenges are expected to increase. As the impacts of climate change to beef cattle production over the Lake Victoria Basin is unknown, this study used participatory mapping method and focus group discussions to assess spatial changes in livestock routes in relation to water and pasture availability in Ilemela and Magu districts of Mwanza region, Tanzania. GIS technology was used for the formalization of spatial layers. It was revealed that there were many changes in livestock routes such that some have become roads, some have been lost, and others narrowed. These changes were due to increase of settlements and cultivated areas, and more specifically a general decline of water sources and grazing land. This implies that appropriate strategies such as a land use planning, stock routings modification, education on effective cattle farming and intervention by rainwater harvesting should be designed so as to adapt to climate change effects, and improve livestock production in Ilemela and Magu districts. Keywords: beef cattle production; Lake Victoria Basin; GIS; climate change 1. Introduction Livestock production contributes about 40 percent of the global value of agriculture output, and supports the livelihood of almost a billion people (FAO, 2009).

    The United Republic of Tanzania MWANZA CITY COUNCIL SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE, 2016 January, 2017 1 The United Republic of Tanzania MWANZA CITY COUNCIL SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE, 2016 Jointly prepared by Ministry of Finance, National Bureau of Statistics and Mwanza City Council National Bureau of Statistics Mwanza City Council Dar es Salaam Mwanza Region January, 2017 2 Foreword The goals of Tanzania’s Development Vision 2030 are in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) .The major goals are to achieve a high- quality livelihood for the people, achieve food security, develop a strong and competitive economy, to ensure equality and empower all women and girls. Monitoring the progress in achieving these goals needs for timely and accurate statistical information at all levels Problems especially in urban areas are many and demanding. Social and economic services require sustainable improvement. The high primary school enrolment rates recently attained have to be maintained and so is the policy of making sure that all pupils who pass standard seven examinations join Form One. The food situation is still precarious; infant and maternal mortality rates continue to be high and unemployment triggers mass migration of youths from rural areas to the already overcrowded urban centres. Added to the above problems, is the menace posed by HIV/AIDS, the prevalence of which hinders efforts to advance into the 21st century of science and technology. The pandemic has been quite severe among the economically active population leaving in its wake an increasing number of orphans, broken families and much suffering. AIDS together with environmental deterioration are the new developmental problems which cannot be ignored.
