Carolyn Hannari—Andersson Wat~5jpP’Y -ì LL - I ~.i~ uI~LY June 1984 Li LG) 0’ ~‘ •t. H1/14 Institute of Resource Assessment University of Dar es Salaam LC): ‘B~-~ P.O. Box 35097 Dar es Salaam Tanzania ABSTRACT This study, carried out in 3 villages, aimed to investigate the role of women in improvements to domestic water supplies, and the impact of these improvements on women. Background information on the general situation of Wanyaturu women and their role in social change - to date is presented. Previous inputs in the field of water supply, sanitation and health education are evaluated. The overall water supply, sanitation and health situation is investigated in 75 households and the impact of improvements in two of the villages is evaluated. Possible strategies for increasing the involvement of women and thereby increasing the impact are outlined. PREFACE This report was produced in the context of a project on the development of domestic water supplies in rural areas in Tanzania, “Domestic water supplies: a vital component in Tanzania’s rural development. A consumer—orientated study of selected schemes in four regions.” This project currently being carried out by Ingvar Andersson and Carolyn Hannan—Andersson (1980—1984) is financed by a research grant from SAREC, the Swedish Agency for Research Cooperation with Developing Countries (9.49 u—forsk 80/78:2) and involves research cooperation between the Institute of Resource Assessment in Dar es Salaam and the Department of Social and Economic Geography at the University of Lund, Sweden. This report should be seen as a complement to the report “Development of water supplies in Singida Region, Tanzania. Past experience and future options” produced by Ingvar Andersson and Carolyn Hannan—Andersson (1984). The report is based on fieldwork carried out in 3 villages in Singida Region in November/December 1982 and January 1984. Extensive use has been made of the excellent background material provided by the work of Harold K. Schneider in 1959—60 and Marguerite Jellicoe in 1959—65. Both of these works contain the kinds of socio—economic data upon which all strategies for development, including improvements to water supply and sanitation, should be based. Although much time has elapsed since their fieldwork was carried out and some important changes have occurred in Tanzania, not least villagisation, it would appear that much of the information is still applicable today. This was confirmed by Jellicoe herself on a return visit to Singida in 1975. (Jellicoe, 1979:xii) Thanks are due to Professor Adolfo Mascarenhas, director of the Institute of Resource Assessment, Dar es Salaam, and to Olof Nordstrom at the Department of Social and Economic Geography in Lund, for the support given to the project. We are also grateful for the logistic support provided by the Project Manager. Glynn Roberts, and the staff of the Tanzanian Water Development Project in Singida. Constructive criticism, especially on the aspects of traditional Nyaturu society and change, were gratefully received from Jan Lindstr5m of the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The illustrations were done by G. Dias, the maps drawn by Peter Lunkombe, and the typing done by Ingrid EkstrOm. H.

Ingvar Andersson ;- Carolyn Hannan—Andersson I CE~ifl~Rfl ~Tei (C7~ ~1i1 -~ June ~984 Institute of Resource Assessment University of Oar es Salaam Box 35097 Oar es Salaam Tanzania ABSTRACT The water supply/sanitation/health situation in 3 villages in Singida Region was the focus of this study. The objective was to investigate general conditions and to identify the explicit needs of the communities. Relevant socio-economic data on production, livestock, ecological system, etc, is presented, as well as a historical overview of the developments in the water supply sector. Water-use patterns and standards of health, hygiene and sanitation were investigated in 75 households. An attempt was made to evaluate improvements to the water supply in two of the villages, i.e. the functioning of the supplies, the extent of utilization and the impact, e.g. on water use patterns, work burdens and general welfare and health. The effectiveness of the strategy for improving water supplies using shallow wellls with handpumps is assessed. The aspects of density and location of supply are stressed as crucial for the achievement of impact. An alternative strategy is suggested — the improvement of all traditional sources both for domestic and non-domestic uses (livestock and small vegetable gardens).

  • The Running in Tanzania As an Economy
    Negotiating ‘Modernity’ on the Run Migration, Age Transition and „Development‟ in a Training Camp for Female Athletes in Arusha, Tanzania Aline Taylor _________________________________________ A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology University Of Canterbury August 2008 _______________________________________________________ Abstract Sports have recently been incorporated into international development agendas in a bid to „empower‟ women and foster gender equality. Considered a masculine domain, sports are argued to empower women by challenging the status quo and their „traditional‟ positions in societies. This thesis examines the use of sport in an athletic training camp for female distance runners located in Arusha, Northern Tanzania. Like other similar camps throughout East Africa, this training camp provides financial support for athletes, recruited from isolated rural areas, to live and train full time in the city. The camp was founded and is run by a Tanzanian couple, known as Gwandu and Mama Gwandu, but it has recently begun receiving financial support from an American development organisation. The director of this organisation, Karl, aims to empower the young women training in the camp by enabling them to use their sporting talent to further their education. This directly contradicts Gwandu and Mama Gwandu‟s goals, however, and they strive to enable the girls to improve their lives by earning money from running. The girls themselves perceive running as a unique opportunity to migrate to Arusha and distance themselves from their natal villages. The idea of earning money from running is secondary, for the girls, to the aspiration of settling permanently in the city.

  • Female Genital Cutting 13
    FEMALE GENITAL CUTTING 13 Female genital cutting (FGC), also known as female circumcision or female genital mutilation (FGM) in Tanzania, is a common practice in many societies in the northern half of sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly universal in a few countries, it is practiced by various groups in at least 25 African countries, in Yemen, and in immigrant African populations in Europe and North America (Yoder et al., 2004). In a few societies, the procedure is routinely carried out when a girl is a few weeks or a few months old (e.g., Eritrea, Yemen), while in most others, it occurs later in childhood or adolescence. In the case of the latter, FGC is typically part of a ritual initiation into womanhood that includes a period of seclusion and education about the rights and duties of a wife. The Tanzanian Special Provision Act, a 1998 amendment to the penal code, specifically prohibits FGC. However, while the practice has been outlawed, it is still occurring in many areas. FGC is considered compulsory in some communities whereas in other communities, women may have options about being cut. The 2004-05 TDHS collected data on the practice of female circumcision from women age 15-49. The 1996 TDHS also collected data on female circumcision from women in the same age group. The 2003-04 Tanzania HIV/AIDS Indicator Survey (TACAIDS, NBS, and ORC Macro, 2005) included only one question on circumcision for male and female respondents: whether the respondent was circumcised. In this chapter, topics discussed include knowledge, prevalence, and type; age at circumcision; person who performed the circumcision; and attitudes towards the practice.

Masanja, PhD Department of Geography, St. Augustine University of Tanzania, Tanzania P.O. Box 307 MWANZA, TANZANIA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study was conducted in a cereal-tobacco farming system in Sikonge District, Tabora Region. The objective of the study was to determine the implications of forest resource demand by the ever growing population. A social survey was conducted in the period 2011-2012. Randomized stratified multistage sampling using proportionate population sizes was employed to select 365 households and six institutions in the study area. Assessment of vegetation cover change was based on time-series satellite images and repeated aerial photographs. Data processing and analysis was accomplished by the use of ERDAS Imagine Version 8.7 and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results revealed that depletion of closed woodland between 1984 and 2012 was 46.7 hectares per year on average. Likewise, cultivated land increased by an average of 265 (0.8%) hectares annually within this time period. The expansion of cultivated land was at the expense of the Miombo woodlands fueled by internal and external socio-economic drivers led by population growth, agricultural expansion, domestic fuel wood and charcoal and increased demand for tobacco curing.
