Understanding the Factors Leading to Conflicts among Agropastoralist and Farming Communities in Morogoro region, Tanzania, and their implications for wellbeing A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Dennis Rugeiyamu Rweyemamu Lincoln University 2019 Abstract In Africa, access to resources such as land, water, forest and wildlife reserve areas is a key factor for sustainable development. The scarcity and degradation of these resources in rural environments threatens human security, leading to conflicts. Tanzania is a developing country in the East Africa, where nearly 70% of the land is village land supporting 80% of the population as farmers and agropastoralists. Agropastoralists practice a production system in which they depend (>50% of income generation and sustenance) on livestock, with the remaining portion on crop farming for food. This system entails some family members seasonally travelling large distances with their stock in search of water and pasture for grazing, while others remain at home and practice crop farming during the growing season. Despite the economic importance of pastoralism, most economic development policies in Tanzania perceive pastoralism as unproductive, unorganised, and environmentally destructive. Therefore, agropastoralists are persistently evicted and/or forced to move to marginal areas along the periphery where basic services are lacking. This movement is creating serious land use conflicts and violence between agropastoralists and farmers due to conflicting goals and interests over the same land resources. Land resource use conflicts related to pastoralism in Tanzania are well documented, but the mechanisms underlying these conflicts are not. Consequently, there is limited understanding of the mechanisms by which agropastoralists gain access to and use of land resources in Morogoro region, and how these mechanisms contribute to conflict between farmers and agropastoralists. To address this gap, an analytical framework was developed (based on Ribot and Peluso’s Access Theory) and modified to fit the Tanzania context. This modified Theory together with the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework were used to identify mechanisms by which agropastoralists gain and control access to and use of land resources, and how these mechanisms contribute positively and negatively to both their wellbeing and the wellbeing of the natural resource base, and to conflicts with farmers in Morogoro region. Additionally, this research employed Social Conflict Theory, which focuses on the dynamics and transformations of conflicts for a better understanding of why and how conflict between farmers and agropastoralists escalate into violence. Lastly, this research assessed the trend and extent of environmental and rangeland degradation, perceived to be caused by the increasing numbers of humans and livestock in Morogoro region. This research is interdisciplinary, involving both social science and biophysical science (i.e., analysis of land use and cover changes), thus employed multi and interdisciplinary approaches including ethnography, multi-data collection methods, GIS and Remote Sensing techniques, checklist of rangeland assessment indicators, and qualitative (i.e., interviews and discussions) and highly quantitative spatial analysis of Landsat images. ii Results demonstrate that agropastoralists use legal and illegal mechanisms to gain and control access to and use of land resources. The legal mechanism involves possession of a certificate for village land. Illegal mechanisms involve: (1) bribing corrupt individuals in authorities, (2) force and coercion, and (3) deceptive and stealthy approaches against farmers and village leaders. These mechanisms helped agropastoralists to sustain their material and financial wellbeing while concurrently compromising other aspects of their current and future wellbeing and compromising the wellbeing of farmers and the natural resources that both communities depend on. The way farmers lose their land by illegal mechanisms (e.g., bribes, force and coercion, and deception and stealth) is a critical factor that contributes significantly to land resource conflicts. However, in contrast to West African countries, where labour and social identity play significant roles in enabling pastoralists to gain and control access to land resources, this study revealed that three mechanisms identified in Access Theory, namely, labour, social identity and knowledge, made no significant contribution in this region of Tanzania. With these findings, a new analytical framework (model) was created that appears to fit well in the East Africa context as opposed to the West African. Conflicts between farmers and agropastoralists in Morogoro region escalated to violence following the general patterns and transformation dynamics (i.e., process variables) described in Social Conflict Theory. These process variables involve tactics shifting from light to heavy, goals shifting from specific to general, and involvement shifting from few to many. The analysis of conflicts, undertaken by focusing on process variables (conflict dynamics), enabled the identification of new factors (culture, age and gender of participant in the conflict) that helped explain why some conflicts between farmers and agropastoralists escalate to deadly violence. The study recommends that formation of a loose coalition (e.g., Elders’ Tribunal) which includes equal representation of members from the farmer and agropastoralist communities may help solve the current conundrum caused by top-down administrative procedures and practices, which often leads to outcomes that are ineffective and unsatisfactory to all parties. There are huge changes in land cover and use in the study areas with associated links to environmental and rangeland degradation. The areas covered by forests, woodland/grassland and water have decreased, whereas bare land has increased. These changes were largely associated with a combination of factors such as increased population density of both humans and livestock, and subsequent economic activities including but not limited to charcoal business, timber harvesting, mineral mining, extensive and large-scale cultivation, and keeping of excessive numbers of livestock. Also, this research identified 30 indicators classified into five categories used by agropastoralist and farmer interviewees to assess environmental and rangeland degradation. Of the 30 indicators, 25 came from a pre-prepared checklist of 31 indicators derived from the literature, and the remaining five – soil crusting and cracking and soil muddiness, risk of wildfires, and diversification of livelihoods iii activities and conflicts over land resources – emerged during interviews. It is recommended that government invest in education that will create greater awareness of the impacts of individual and collective choices of, e.g., livelihood activities for both individual wellbeing and the wellbeing of the natural resource base.

    BRIEFING NOTE March 2015 ETHNIC VIOLENCE IN MOROGORO REGION IN TANZANIA n early 2015, Morogoro Region of Tanzania was the scene of deadly violence targeting minority Maasai and Datoga pasto- Iralist groups,1 which raised concerns in Parliament that the assaults could descend into ethnic based violence and spread across the country2. These assaults are said to be instigated by public figures with interests in acquiring land3. State authori- ties have not intervened to protect Maasai and Datoga citizens; rather police protection has been provided to others who are illegally cultivating officially registered Maasai village land. The violent episodes experienced since mid-January 2015 follow on from a decade of poor governance in Morogoro Region, with illegal eviction and dispossession of Maasai and Datoga citizens accompanied by human rights violations. None of these offences have been addressed despite high court rulings and numerous commissions of enquiry4. This brief provides a review of the violent and often deadly attacks on Maasai and Datoga citizens in Morogoro Region, committed between 15 January and the end of February 2015 as well as recommendations to duty bearers and other stakeholders. The brief is informed by civil society organisations5, official records of the Tanzanian Parliament and the media, and reference will be made where possible6. Since January 15, assaults have led to between 6 and 15 deaths (numbers still to be confirmed7) and many people have been injured and robbed. Six Maasai women were raped, 38 Maasai homesteads on village land were burned to the ground and 77 cattle were stolen. Currently 266 men, women and children are living in Mabwegere Village (Kilosa District of Morogoro Region) without food, shelter or protection.

  • Small Farmer Productivity Through Increased Access to Draught Power Opportunities
    MOVEK Development Solution SMALL FARMER PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH INCREASED ACCESS TO DRAUGHT POWER OPPORTUNITIES Consultancy Report Stakeholder mapping in Morogoro region December 2008 (Final Report) ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The Department for International Development (DfID has been a major supporter of natural resource research through its Renewable Natural Resource Research Strategy (RNRRS) which ran from 1995 to 2006. The results realized through such initiatives have enormous potential to alleviate poverty, promote economic growth, and mitigate the environmental problem. Unfortunately these efforts were not able to produce the expected results. 2. Within this reality, Research Into Use (RIU) programme has been conceived to meet this challenge. The approach used by RIU programme is slightly different from previous approaches since it has shifted its emphasis away from the generation of new knowledge to the ways in which knowledge is put into productive use 3. To complement the innovation system, the RIU programme intended to work with a network of partners (innovation platforms) working on common theme and using research knowledge in ways it hasn’t been used before to generate improved goods and services for the benefit of the poor. 4. To start the RIU programme in Tanzania identified three innovation platforms, three farm products in three regions as pilot domains. One of the platforms is access to draught power which is thought to enhance productivity of small holder farmers through increased access to and capacity to utilize draught power opportunities in Ulanga, Kilombero, Kilosa, and Mvomero districts 5. This report is based on the findings of the mapping study conducted in Ulanga, Kilombero, Kilosa and Mvomero districts which overlaped to Morogoro municipality 6.

  • Sources of Agricultural Information for Women Farmers in Hai and Kilosa Districts, Tanzania THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfill
    Sources of Agricultural Information for Women Farmers in Hai and Kilosa Districts, Tanzania THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Lucas Isaya, B.S. Graduate Program in Agricultural and Extension Education The Ohio State University 2015 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Robert Agunga, Advisor Dr. Robert J. Birkenholz Copyright by Elizabeth Lucas Isaya 2015 ABSTRACT This study investigated sources of agricultural information used by women farmers in Tanzania. Women farmers constitute the majority of farmers in Tanzania. Enabling them to increase food production will help achieve the government’s goals of achieving food security and agro-based industrialization. However, it is not clear where women farmers obtain information on modern farming methods. Knowing these sources will enable the Tanzanian government and international aid organizations channel information directed toward women farmers through those sources. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify women farmer’s sources of information in agriculture. Due to limited funding and time constraints, the study involved a survey of 300 women farmers in Hai and Kilosa districts of Kilimanjaro and Morogoro Regions, respectively. The survey was completed using an interview schedule. Of the 300 respondents sampled, 288 provided usable data for the study yielding a response rate of 96%. Six research objectives guided this study, namely: (a) examine the demographic characteristics of women farmers in Tanzania; (b) describe sources of information on modern farming methods for women farmers; (c) assess innovative farming methods adopted by women farmers; (d) examine women farmers’ access to and use of ICTs; (e) examine women farmers’ access to and use of agricultural extension agents; and (f) examine other challenges facing women farmers in Tanzania.

O. Box 35097, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. 3Department of Economics, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Accepted 24 January, 2012 Tanzania has been receiving significant funding from donor countries for the implementation of programmes to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD). REDD is seen as an opportunity to enhance conservation and livelihoods. But what is the impact of REDD on gender? This is an area of inquiry that has not been critically looked into. This study was an attempt towards filling this information gap. It was conducted in Kilosa District. A total of 294 households were selected randomly for interviews. There was also consultation with focus groups and key informants. Structured and semi-structured questionnaires were used to gather information. The data was analysed using statistical and livelihoods models. The findings reveal a high level of dependence on the forest for livelihoods by the communities but nevertheless they were in favour of the REDD programmes if the programmes will enhance their livelihoods and they will be fully involved in managing the programmes.
