This Strategic Plan has been participatory in that it has involved members and key partners and has taken on board their contributions and concerns. In the course of developing this plan various challenges have been encountered particularly in deciding on the strategic focus and objectives viz-a-viz what is expected by beneficiaries, members as well as key stakeholders. Nevertheless the experience shared in the process strengthened TAMWA’s resolve to come up with a Strategic Plan that is relevant and with long-lasting results. Additionally, the process of developing this Plan has made TAMWA reposition itself and adopt new approaches in order to go beyond the awareness creation and take the driver’s seat as the main agent of empowerment and development. We hope this Strategic Plan will inform and encourage the communities we serve, our partners and sponsors, to work with us in our quest for zero tolerance on Gender Based Violence and gender inequality in all spheres of the United Republic of Tanzania. Where there is zero GBV and equality, there will be Justice, Peace and Development. The role of the Media is now appreciated and respected as a channel for social justice; therefore TAMWA’s role is to demonstrate that change can be achieved through the media. This Strategic Plan is a collective commitment of all Tamwanites to achieving a peaceful Tanzanian society that respects human rights with a gender perspective. Ms Rose Reuben Ms Valerie N.Msoka Chairperson Executive Director v TAMWA STRATEGIC PLAN 2016-2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Once a document is complete it is easy to forget that getting it to completion took long hours, arguments and readings. Having said that, nothing good comes without some sweat. This Strategic Plan is the outcome of a lot of commitment from a team lead by Board member Sophia Ngalapi with team members Gladness Munuo, Maria Shaba and Upendo Mwinchande. Others were Mzuri Issa, Marko Gideon and the Executive Director, Valerie N. Msoka. The secretariat provided the logistical support and ensured the hot water was always available for the endless needed teas. The final product would have been incomplete without the support of the Governing Board, TAMWA members as well as stakeholders who were instrumental on suggestions on the way forward. The Consultants, Stella Manda, Ibrahim Ugullumu and Aida Kiangi put in their expertise to ensure the document is what it is. To all mentioned and unintentionally not mentioned THANK YOU. vi TAMWA STRATEGIC PLAN 2016-2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tanzania has witnessed, through the media, an increased awareness of issues related to Gender Based Violence, Gender Inequality, Women’s access, control and ownership of resources, Women’s representation in decision making bodies, Maternal Health and children issues, the rights of people with disability and the elderly - basically an awareness of human rights with a gender perspective. This has resulted in positive actions by the government and society in addressing the needs of the marginalised, especially women and children. The proposed Constitution of Tanzania, the 2015 General Elections and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted in 2015 are opportunities to further address the situation and to ensure that Tanzanians are aware of democratic and developmental processes that affect their lives. It is in this context that TAMWA’s strength will once again be tested in ensuring that women’s and children’s rights are addressed to bring about the required change. It was to address women’s rights which were being denied that in 1987 women from different media organizations joined hands to form the Tanzania Media Women’s Association (TAMWA). While the primary aim of the organisation was to address the plight of women in the media houses and the portrayal of women and their issues in the media, reality was that the situation they faced was the same for most women in Tanzania. Since its inception the organization has contributed to the social transformation towards women at the national, community and individual levels. However, as much as one can commend this attitudinal

  • Human Rights, the Rule of Law, and the East African Court of Justice: Lawyers and the Emergence of a Weak Regional Field
    HUMAN RIGHTS, THE RULE OF LAW, AND THE EAST AFRICAN COURT OF JUSTICE: LAWYERS AND THE EMERGENCE OF A WEAK REGIONAL FIELD Mihreteab Tsighe Taye* This article represents a first systematic attempt to trace the trajectory that follows the professionalization of a group of East African lawyers committed to the cause of a regional International Court (IC) inspired by the rule of law and human rights. It demonstrates how a group of lawyers participated in the struggle to define law and to construct the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) and build the field of human rights. Lawyers who participated in the creation of the EACJ became “experts” in regional law. This expertise was legitimised not only by the political and social capital deriving from their participation in the drafting of the EAC Treaty, as representatives of states or civil society groups, but also by the capital of knowledge and technical skill accumulated in the course of bringing forth and litigating cases in both the national and transnational spaces. Upon entering the regional IC, as either judges or litigators, these agents became interpreters of the EAC Treaty inspired by the respect for the rule of law and human rights. The article reports on data from field research in East Africa. This article starts with a discussion of the role of lawyers and civil society groups in the formation of the EACJ before analysing efforts to extend the jurisdiction of the EACJ to include human rights. It then examines the EACJ judges’ off-the-bench efforts at judicial empowerment before looking at how lawyers introduced their litigation experience from the national level to the EACJ.

Remembering the Dark Years (1964–1975) in Contemporary Zanzibar Marie-Aude Fouéré French Institute for Research in Africa (IFRA), Nairobi, Kenya In the islands of Zanzibar (Unguja and Pemba), the memories of violence and repression perpetrated by revolutionaries and the state from 1964 to 1975 have long been banished from the public space. The official narrative of the 1964 Revolution and the first phase of the post-revolutionary periodi developed and propagated by the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, through a control over the production, transmission, and circulation of ideas, combined with repressive measures against dissenting voices, led people to keep their memories private. The official injunction calling for silence did not bringabout a forgetting of the past, but rather contributed to the clandestine transmission and reconstruction of fragments of individual, familial, and community memories within private circles.

  • Issued by the Britain-Tanzania Society No 118 Sept 2017
    Tanzanian Affairs Issued by the Britain-Tanzania Society No 118 Sept 2017 Mining Sector - The Mineral Sands Export Saga Challenge to Schooling Ban for Pregnant Girls Key “Escrow” Suspects Arrested Roger Nellist: THE MINERAL SANDS EXPORT SAGA Tanzania’s mining sector in difficulty - the background As reported in TA117, in March the government took the controversial step of banning the export of mineral concentrates and ores for metallic minerals such as gold, copper, nickel and silver. Later the same month, President Magufuli had intervened personally, ordering the seizure at Dar port of 277 containers of mineral sands destined for export mainly from two gold mines operated by Acacia Mining (Tanzania’s largest gold-producer), and asserted: “There is no country being robbed of its mineral wealth like Tanzania”. Samples were taken from the sands for analysis. Several foreign mining companies were immediately affected by the export ban but local miners and other entities also expressed concerns. In April, Magufuli established two expert teams to report to him quickly on different aspects of the mineral sand exports. Since then the saga has intensified, triggering an avalanche of robust follow-up actions by government – including more sackings and contentious new legislation. Tanzania is variably listed as Africa’s third or fourth largest gold- producing country so, unsurprisingly, the saga has generated much news coverage and comment, both in Tanzania and abroad. There have been headlines like: “Industrial-scale plunder of Tanzania’s mineral wealth by multinational companies”, “Probe team unearths massive thievery in mineral sand exports”, “Tanzania has been losing trillions of shillings in revenue” and “Tanzania’s Acacia spat shows deepening battle with business”.

The union is headed by a president who is also the head of government; its unicameral legislative body is the National Assembly (parliament). Zanzibar, although part of the union government, has its own president, court system, and legislature, and exercises considerable autonomy. Tanzania held its fourth multiparty general elections on October 31, in which voters on both Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar elected a union president and their respective representatives in the union legislature. President Kikwete, the incumbent Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) candidate, was reelected union president with 61.7 percent of the vote. The national elections were generally peaceful, but there were several protests in urban areas associated with the slow pace of reporting election results. In Zanzibar the October elections proceeded peacefully after a power-sharing agreement was reached between the ruling CCM party and the opposition Civic United Front (CUF). In a July 31 referendum, Zanzibaris voted to amend the constitution to allow for a unity government. In October the Zanzibar electorate elected Ali Mohamed Shein, the immediate past union vice president, as president of Zanzibar with 50.1 percent of the vote and also elected members of its House of Representatives.
