ARUMERU: Project and Evaluation Edited from an Evaluation Report by Tamara Kwarteng, Tim O’Shaughnessy and Florence Ghamuga September 1999 Appendix 3 ARUMERU: Project and Evaluation Edited from an evaluation report by Tamara Kwarteng, Tim O’Shaughnessy and Florence Ghamuga September 1999 Précis Arumeru is a “classic” HIV/AIDS prevention project in the best sense of the word. Prevention is the chief intervention and largely relies on counselling and education activities carried out by community volunteers. Dependence on volunteers, when combined with fervent community acceptance and participation, gives the Arumeru Project a high probability that it will be sustainable. Strong governmental approval of the project’s performance adds to the likelihood that HIV/AIDS prevention measures will continue after World Vision funding stops. Arumeru is more than prevention, however. The project also engaged communities in ways to care for AIDS orphans and people living with AIDS (PLWA). While not the main thrust of the Arumeru Project, care became an important intervention, as did ways to improve people’s livelihoods. Enterprise development grew out of a concern that poor women have few assets to sell except their bodies, a risky endeavour where HIV is epidemic. Loans to start businesses were also extended to youth in an effort to turn “loitering” into something more productive.

  • Recapping the Meru Land Case, Tanzania by Dr
    Global Journal of HUMAN SOCIAL SCIENCES Economics Volume 13 Issue 1 Version 1.0 Year 2013 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Recapping the Meru Land Case, Tanzania By Dr. Simeon Mesaki University of Dodoma, Tanzania Abstract - Mt Meru dominates the scenery and economy of the people living on its slopes. The lower slopes of the mountain provided fertile, well-watered land for the Meru and Arusha people for several centuries. Here they have developed "moral economies," innovative and well- managed mixed farming and agro-pastoral systems. The earliest Meru were Chaga speakers from western Kilimanjaro who expanded across the Sanya plains sometimes in the 17th century. They were traditionally organised through “big men” known as vashili (singular nshili who supervised all important matters including traditional prayers, land conflicts, inheritance, farm boundaries, ceremonies and punishment. There were chiefs and elders who met under a large sacred tree, the mringaringa. Colonial occupation since the late 19th century caused the closing of the land frontier on Meru and alienation of most of their land to white settlers. The Meru Land Case was a protest by Meru people, living in the Eastern part of what is now Arumeru District, against the allocation of their land to Europeans for development purposes. It is a tale of the Meru united to demand in an international forum the restitution of their rights to land. It is the story of Kirilo Japhet the first Tanzania to speak at the United Nations and in Kiswahili at that.

  • Contribution of Local Leaders Towards Land Conflict Management in Tanzania: a Case of Farming Communities in Monduli District
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2016): 79.57 | Impact Factor (2017): 7.296 Contribution of Local Leaders towards Land Conflict Management in Tanzania: A Case of Farming Communities in Monduli District Nsia Humphrey1, Peter A. Kopoka. PHD2 1, 2Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Kenya Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to assess the contribution of local leaders towards land conflict management. The paper is based on a study conducted in MonduliJuu ward in Monduli District in Arusha region. The study aimed at identifying sources of land conflicts, identifying the role of local leaders towards land conflicts management and examining the effectiveness of local leaders towards land conflicts management among farmers and pastoralists in MonduliJuu ward. The study adopted both quantitative and qualitative research approaches, the data were collected by using questionnaires and interview. The study employed a descriptive survey research design while the respondents were selected by using purposive sampling techniques and simple random sampling. The study involved 100 respondents which include 10 local leaders, 45 farmers and 45 pastoralists from MonduliJuu ward in Monduli District. The findings revealed that sources of land conflicts among farmers and pastoralists were poor land planning, scarcity of land and scramble for pasture. Furthermore,the findings discovered that local leaders play a leading role in solving land conflicts among farmers and pastoralists communities but during conflicts some of the local leaders favor their owncommunities andeven some of them take bribes when solving herders-farmers conflicts which creates dispute among the communities. Thus, the study recommends that in order to solve land conflicts, local leaders should be at the forefront to control and manage land conflict in time and should avoid taking bribe and put aside theirself-interest.
