    TANZANIA ACTIVITY BRIEFER MAY 2020 For over five decades, the United States has partnered with the people of Tanzania to advance shared development objectives. The goal of USAID assistance is to help the country achieve self- reliance by promoting a healthy, prosperous, democratic, well- governed, and secure Tanzania. Through partnerships and investments that save lives, reduce poverty, and strengthen democratic governance, USAID’s programs advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous Tanzania. In Tanzania, USAID engages in activities across four areas: ● Economic growth, including trade, agriculture, food security, and natural resource management ● Democracy, human rights, and governance ● Education ● Global health LARRIEUX/ USAID ALEX ALEX ECONOMIC GROWTH OVERVIEW: USAID supports Tanzania’s economic development and goal to become a self-reliant, middle- income country by 2025. We partner with the government and people of Tanzania, the private sector, and a range of development stakeholders. Agriculture plays a vital role in Tanzania’s economy, employing 65 percent of the workforce and contributing to nearly 30 percent of the economy. USAID strengthens the agriculture policy environment and works directly with actors along the production process to improve livelihoods and trade. At the same time, we strengthen the ability of rural communities to live healthy, productive lives through activities that improve 1 nutrition and provide access to clean water and better sanitation and hygiene. We also enhance the voices of youth and women in decision making by building leadership skills and access to assets, such as loans and land ownership rights. As Tanzania’s natural resources are the foundation for the country’s development, we work to protect globally important wildlife, remarkable ecosystems, and extraordinary natural resources.

  • White Violence in German East Africa
    “The People Who Make Our Heads Spin”: White Violence in German East Africa by Ryan Masters A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Ryan Masters 2019 “The People Who Make Our Heads Spin”: White Violence in German East Africa Ryan Masters Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation explores violence perpetrated by the colonial state and white settlers in German East Africa from the 1890s to the First World War. It examines the place of white violence, almost all of it directed at black bodies, in East Africa and traces the ways in which broader social and political tensions in the German community shaped debates and contestations over the boundaries of “acceptable” white violence in the colony. Violence was a contested issue, one that divided the community of German colonists against itself. The issue was not that Germans disagreed about their right to treat Africans violently or dominate them by force. Rather disputes arose because the boundaries and limitations of white violence were never clearly defined, so that colonial administrators and German settlers were left to sort it out amongst themselves. The case of the plantation manager Georg Passarge demonstrates that social conflicts in the German colonial community could play a significant role in drawing officials’ attention to non-official white violence and ultimately in the prosecution of settler abuses. Further, the frustrations and anxieties that beset the German settler community shaped coverage of corporal ii punishment in the settler-friendly press, which defended whipping and flogging of Africans as integral to the success and well-being of German colonists.

    The United Republic of Tanzania IRINGA REGION SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE, 2013 October, 2013 The United Republic of Tanzania IRINGA REGION SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE, 2013 Jointly prepared Ministry of Finance, National Bureau of Statistics and Iringa Regional Secretariat National Bureau of Statistics Dar es Salaam October, 2013 Iringa Region Socio-Economic Profile, 2013 Foreword The goals of Tanzania‟s Development Vision 2025 are in line with United Nation‟s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and are pursued through the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) or MKUKUTA II. The major goals are to achieve a high-quality livelihood for the people, attain good governance through the rule of law and develop a strong and competitive economy. To monitor the progress in achieving these goals, there is need for timely, accurate data and information at all levels. Problems especially in rural areas are many and demanding. Social and economic Tservices 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 are 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.
