  • Water Purification with a Biosand Filter in Tanzania: a Minor Field Study - Karagwe District, Tanzania
    Projektarbete 15 hp June 2016 Water purification with a biosand filter in Tanzania: A minor field study - Karagwe District, Tanzania Johanna Gjerstad Lindgren Zarah Olivecrona Abstract In Karagwe district in northwest Tanzania, the non-governmental organisation Mavuno is working with water scarcity and drinking-water quality issues within the local community. Mavuno started a boarding school for girls in Chonyonyo village in the district in January 2016. The school is self-sufficient of water and relies on rainwater as a raw water source. The main objective of this study was to investigate water purification with a biosand filter, built of local materials at the Chonyonyo school. The filter performance was analysed by studying the reduction of indicator organisms in the filtered water. The knowledge obtained should be transferred to employees at Mavuno, allowing them to independently operate the biosand filter and analyse the water quality. The study was done as a Minor field study with support from SIDA, in collaboration with Swedish Engineers without borders and Mavuno. The study includes a literature review and a field study where a biosand filter was built and tested. After construction, the biosand filter was operated for 6 weeks during which water samples were collected and analysed. Water samples were collected from the influent raw rainwater and effluent filtered water. The microbial properties of the water samples were investigated by analysis of the indicator organisms total coliform bacteria, e.coli and enterococci. The analysis was performed with the QuantiTray-2000® and most probable number (MPN) method from IDEXX Laboratories. Additionally, temperature and pH was measured on all water samples.

  • Entrepreneurs Or Ekers? Neoliberalism and the Plight of the Youth in Kagera Region, Tanzania
    Tanzania Journal of Development Studies, Vol. 18, No. 1, 2020: 45-64 Entrepreneurs or Ekers? Neoliberalism and the Plight of the Youth in Kagera Region, Tanzania Lucius Mugisha* & Huruma Luhuvilo Sigalla§ Abstract This paper discusses the socioeconomic conditions that push and pull the youth into entrepreneurial activities in Kagera Region, Tanzania. In so doing, it interrogates the increasingly catchy concepts of necessity entrepreneurs, opportunity entrepreneurs, and interventionist entrepreneurs in the literature on youth (un)employment. The study employs Harvey’s concept of accumulation by dispossession and Foucault’s concept of bi-politics. Data were collected through a case study approach in which 60 youths engaged in entrepreneurial activities were interviewed in Bukoba Municipality and Kyerwa District. Documentary review and observation were also used to collect data. Findings indicate that the decline in agricultural production—especially coffee and bananas—is the main factor that ultimately pushes people from the countryside into urban areas. Lastly, the paper concludes that the bio-political techniques that represent the youth as entrepreneurs, is just an exaggeration: they are merely ekers who struggle to make ends meet. Thus, entrepreneurial skills should be about revitalizing productive activities, which employ most of the people, including youths. Keywords: entrepreneurs, youth, accumulation by dispossession, bio-politics, Kagera Region, Tanzania Introduction and Background Recent data show that the youth constitute 1.8bn of the global population, of which nearly 85% live in developing countries, and constitute 40% of the world’s unemployed people (S4YE, 2014: viii). It is estimated that by 2025 another 1bn youths are expected to join the labour market (ibid.).

  • Bukoba Municipal Council Socio-Economic Profile, 2015
    United Republic of Tanzania BUKOBA MUNICIPAL COUNCIL SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE, 2015 May 2018 United Republic of Tanzania BUKOBA MUNICIPAL COUNCIL SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE, 2015 Jointly prepared by National Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of Finance and Planning, and Bukoba Municipal Council National Bureau of Statistics Bukoba Municipal Council Dar es Salaam Kagera Region May, 2018 Foreword The goals of Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025 are in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. Among the major goals includes achieving high quality livelihood for the people; to achieve food security; to develop a strong and competitive economy; to combat inequality and empower all women and girls. To manage monitoring the progress in achieving these goals, there is need for availability of timely and accurate statistical information at all levels. Problems occurring in both urban and rural areas are many and challenging. Experience shows that delivery of quality social and economic services requires a continuous and sustainable improvement of strategies through community participation from time to time. Indeed, it must be admitted that high primary school enrolment rates recently attained have to be sustained by using available resources 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 and infant and maternal mortality rates, while showing signs of decline, continue to be high. Unemployment in rural areas triggers mass migration of youths to the already overcrowded urban centers. Health problems due to HIV/AIDS pandemic have been quite severe among the economically active population which hinders efforts to advance smoothly into the 21st century of science and technology.

They are part of the world’s material heritage, and part of history. Ever more of this postal heritage becomes available online, published by stamp collectors’ organizations, auction houses, commercial stamp shops, online catalogues, and individual collectors. Virtually collecting postage stamps and postal history has recently become a possibility. These working papers about Africa are examples of what can be done. But they are work-in- progress! Everyone who would like to contribute, by sending corrections, additions, and new area studies can do so by sending an email message to the APH editor: Ton Dietz ([email protected]). You are welcome!

  • Food Security & Large-Scale Land Acquisitions: the Cases of Tanzania and Ethiopia
    Food security and large-scale land acquisitions: The cases of Tanzania and Ethiopia A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences by Jennifer Dye M.A. Political Science, University of Cincinnati, 2010 J.D. University of Cincinnati College of Law, 2010 March 2014 Committee Chair: Laura Jenkins, Ph.D. Abstract Food security is often misunderstood: overlooked in security studies and essentialized as a biological and nutritional issue, or as simply supply not matching demand. Yet, food security rests on underlying social and political questions of power, entitlement, distribution, and access within the food system and land tenure. This dissertation seeks to unearth these underlying social and political questions by examining how external large-scale land acquisitions affect food security and land tenure in the developing African state. This dissertation argues that external large-scale land acquisitions have a primarily negative impact on both food security and land tenure. Findings from the cases of Tanzania and Ethiopia show that large-scale land acquisitions maintain a system of social, political, and economic entitlements that foster uneven structures that result in low levels of food security and access to land. i ii Dedicated to Floyd and my parents iii Acknowledgements During my time in graduate school, I have received support and encouragement from a great number of individuals from various departments, colleges, and in my personal life. Thank you to all who have helped me as I worked on my dissertation.
