A Case of Ilemela and Magu Districts in Tanzania
Journal of the Geographical Association of Tanzania, Vol. 36 No. 2: 35–44 Water and Pasture Availability on Livestock Routes Under a Changing Climate: A Case of Ilemela and Magu Districts in Tanzania Siwa Ernest*, Martine Hagai† & Japhet J. Kashaigili‡ Abstract The beef cattle production system practiced in the Lake Victoria Basin is mainly extensive, which involves cattle grazing on natural pastures. This system is characterized by overgrazing, low livestock production and soil degradation. Under the effects of global climate change, these pastoral management challenges are expected to increase. As the impacts of climate change to beef cattle production over the Lake Victoria Basin is unknown, this study used participatory mapping method and focus group discussions to assess spatial changes in livestock routes in relation to water and pasture availability in Ilemela and Magu districts of Mwanza region, Tanzania. GIS technology was used for the formalization of spatial layers. It was revealed that there were many changes in livestock routes such that some have become roads, some have been lost, and others narrowed. These changes were due to increase of settlements and cultivated areas, and more specifically a general decline of water sources and grazing land. This implies that appropriate strategies such as a land use planning, stock routings modification, education on effective cattle farming and intervention by rainwater harvesting should be designed so as to adapt to climate change effects, and improve livestock production in Ilemela and Magu districts. Keywords: beef cattle production; Lake Victoria Basin; GIS; climate change 1. Introduction Livestock production contributes about 40 percent of the global value of agriculture output, and supports the livelihood of almost a billion people (FAO, 2009). -

Mwanza City Council Socio-Economic Profile, 2016
The United Republic of Tanzania MWANZA CITY COUNCIL SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE, 2016 January, 2017 1 The United Republic of Tanzania MWANZA CITY COUNCIL SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE, 2016 Jointly prepared by Ministry of Finance, National Bureau of Statistics and Mwanza City Council National Bureau of Statistics Mwanza City Council Dar es Salaam Mwanza Region January, 2017 2 Foreword The goals of Tanzania’s Development Vision 2030 are in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) .The major goals are to achieve a high- quality livelihood for the people, achieve food security, develop a strong and competitive economy, to ensure equality and empower all women and girls. Monitoring the progress in achieving these goals needs for timely and accurate statistical information at all levels Problems especially in urban areas are many and demanding. Social and economic services 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 to be 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. AIDS together with environmental deterioration are the new developmental problems which cannot be ignored. -
