CWIQ 2004 SHINYANGA.Pdf Tanzania-Netherlands District Rural Development Programme RURAL SHINYANGA CWIQ Baseline Survey on Poverty, Welfare and Services in Rural Shinyanga Districts AUGUST 2004 Implemented by: EDI Ltd (Economic Development Initiatives) PO Box 393 Bukoba Kagera Region Tanzania Tel & Fax: 028 2220059 Economic Development Initiatives Email: [email protected] [email protected] Rural Shinyanga CWIQ FOREWORD Shinyanga Region consists of seven rural districts. The effective management of development of this region depends on the interest of many different stakeholders who share a common concern to alleviate poverty of the rural population in those seven districts. This Shinyanga CWIQ report gives an overview of the magnitude of poverty in communities. Also it gives a representative view on utilisation and satisfaction of our rural population with the social services provided in the Shinyanga rural districts provided by the Government and the Non Government agencies. This book is unique as it is the first comprehensive survey of its kind to be administered in Shinyanga Region. The book should be appreciated as a baseline survey to measure changes overtime in household welfare and satisfaction levels with social services provided in result of development policies implemented. I hope that this book will contribute to a better understanding of the daily problems of our rural population. The Government, Non-Government Organisations and other stakeholders being concerned in development of the rural population are challenged to enhance collaboration in support of a comprehensive response to overcome the developmental constraints in the context of National priorities and policies.

  • Geographic Distribution of Indigenous Rice-Cultivation Techniques and Their Expansion in Tanzania
    Trop. Agr. Develop. 63（1）：18 － 26，2019 Geographic Distribution of Indigenous Rice-cultivation Techniques and Their Expansion in Tanzania Futoshi KATO* College of Bioresource Sciences, Nihon University, 1866 Kameino, Fujisawa, Kanagawa 252-0880, Japan Abstract In Tanzania, indigenous rice-cultivation productivity is generally lower than that of rice cultivation using modern irrigation systems, even though it is a nationwide practice. Practical improvements in indigenous rice cultivation are required to increase the productivity, stability, and sustainability of rice cultivation. Tanzania is a major rice-producing country in Africa and the demand for rice is continuously increasing; therefore, indigenous rice cultivation has also increased for more than 20 years. This study was focused on indigenous rice cultivation and aimed at elucidating the geographic distribution of indigenous rice cultivation and characterizing the techniques used. Fieldwork was conducted in Mwanza, Shinyanga, Tabora, Mbeya, Dodoma, Rukwa, Morogoro, and Dar es Salaam, which are the major rice-producing areas in Tanzania. Two basic rice-cultivation techniques are used in that country; one utilizes runoff from rainfall and the other uses floodwater from streams, rivers, and swamps. The former is practiced in northern and western Tanzania and is characterized by transplanting, building levees, and plowing with bullocks, while the latter is practiced in south-central Tanzania and is characterized by broadcasting seed, irrigating with floodwater, and using tractors. Furthermore, rice cultivation that utilizes runoff expanded from northern to southern regions of Tanzania in parallel with the migration of the Sukuma people; this has increased the diversification of Tanzanian rice cultivation. These indigenous rice-cultivation techniques were found to be affected by geographical, meteorological, and social conditions.

  • Tanzania 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    TANZANIA 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitutions of the union government and of the semiautonomous government in Zanzibar both prohibit religious discrimination and provide for freedom of religious choice. Three individuals were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the arson of a church in Kagera. A Christian bishop in Dar es Salaam was arrested and accused of sedition for speaking on political matters from the pulpit. The church’s license was withheld while police continued to investigate at year’s end. The president and prime minister, along with local government officials, emphasized peace and religious tolerance through dialogue with religious leaders. Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa addressed an interfaith iftar in July, noting his appreciation for religious leaders using their place of worship to preach tolerance, peace, and harmony. In May 15 masked assailants bombarded and attacked individuals at the Rahmani Mosque, killing three people, including the imam, and injuring several others. Arsonists set fire to three churches within four months in the Kagera Region, where church burning has been a recurring concern of religious leaders. The police had not arrested any suspects by the end of the year. Civil society groups continued to promote peaceful interactions and religious tolerance. The U.S. embassy began implementing a program to counter violent extremism narratives and strengthen the framework for religious tolerance. A Department of State official visited the country to participate in a conference of Anglican leaders on issues of religious freedom and relations between Christians and Muslims. Embassy officers continued to advocate for religious peace and tolerance in meetings with religious leaders in Zanzibar.

There is a broad consensus that clearly defined tenure rights are important for the implementation and success of REDD+, both to manage forests effectively and to protect local communities’ livelihoods. We use primary data from 23 villages in six REDD+ pilot sites in Tanzania to identify causes of deforestation and forest degradation, and tenure rights issues, at the village level prior to project implementation. Further, interviews with project proponents and examination of project documents yields insights into how the proponents plan to address tenure issues.

A. Kulindwa Economic Research Bureau, University of Dar es Salaam, P.O. Box 35096 Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Discussions on social and policy dimensions of the Lake Victoria Basin (LVB) centre on the inhabitants of the basin and their livelihood strategies which are defined by environmental stewardship and natural resource utilization. This paper presents a contextual narrative of the people of the LVB and their livelihood. It sets the stage for an ecosystem assessment of the basin’s social and economic implication of natural resource state, trends and vulnerabilities. The demographic characteristics and selected social indicators for the basin are presented with a focus on implications to sustainable resource management. A description of fishing together with other main occupational activities of the basin’s inhabitants is presented with emphasis on strategies, impacts, challenges and vulnerabilities that the current resources extraction activities impose on the people and environment. Owing to the transboundary nature of the basin, it is recognised that the people and institutional framework of the basin including the East African Community (EAC) together with subsidiary arrangements such as the Lake Victoria Development Programme (LVDP) hold the key to a joint and sustainable management of the basin.
