easy task to find the most appropriate words to represent the feelings of everyoneasante who was involved in converting all the joint efforts made for the year into a brief report like this. However, the Swahili language thanks giving word says it all. I feel deeply delighted to see that many people from the grassroots levels up to the donor community are increasingly getting inspired to work together to extend the dream and work of this organization beyond our initial imagination. Our work, since HAKIARDHI’s inception, has been to learn, share, sensitize, catalyze and inspire the rural based and peri urban communities to mobilize themselves and engage in decision making processes to influence changes in systems, structures, practices and behavior that affect their access to, ownership of and control over land and related resources. It is obvious that the forces and interests on the same resources that we want people to benefit are enormous and gigantic, and the change we are pushing for is not easy for it means a lot in terms of power relations between people, their classes, way of doing things and many other issues. What I am glad to see is that grassroots people are regaining their voices individually and collectively to defend their destiny, to claim their rights and to advocate for policies, systems and structures that are responsive to their needs. This is happening in formal set ups like villages, wards, district councils as well as informal gathering places like markets, kiosks and local brew bars. The results of knowledge generated through research, policy analysis and publications and the broad based public engagement interventions are increasingly becoming manifest in Kilindi, Mkinga, Kisarawe, Rufiji, Morogoro and Ulanga district villages where villagers are actively demanding for their leaders accountability and responsiveness on matters pertaining to their land rights. Consequently, there is a growing sense of accountability, adherence to principles of just conduct and human rights as well as more responsiveness of the leadership to the villagers at least in some villages within the programme area. This is indeed a significant step in addressing the concerns raised by villagers in programme areas that they wanted to participate in decision making process to improve the land rights governance, natural resources management and their livelihoods. vi vii ANNUAL REPORT 2013 One should note however that, as the grassroots communities in those areas enjoy the fruits of this work, it is an uphill battle for us as individual organization to sustain and extend this work further all alone. This is partly because of resource constraints and other forces at play. An appeal is thus made to other likeminded actors to combine their efforts with HAKIARDHI in order to sustain the achievements realized beyond the reach of this programme. This can be done through joint interventions as the old adage reminds us; unit is strength. I would thus wish that CSOs collectively embark on mobilizing citizens for change through linking, learning and sharing. By doing so, they can certainly record much bigger impact than what is narrated in this brief report. Lastly but not least at all on importance, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank our supporters Oxfam NOVIB, Foundation for Civil Society, DKA/Welthaus, Royal Danish Embassy in Tanzania, WWF Tanzania Country Office and Trust Africa for their generous financial contribution to the strategic plan that has necessitated realization of the achievements highlighted in this report.

Msambichaka1* and Paul O. Onyango2 1Department of Education, The Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy, Tanzania. 2Department of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries, College of Agricultural Sciences and Fisheries Technology, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Received 10 July, 2019; Accepted 28 August, 2019 This study specifically examined the pastoral mobility routes in relation to food security in Simanjiro and Handeni districts. The pastoralists from Simanjiro district usually migrate to Handeni and other areas as a coping strategy. During the pastoral mobility the pastoralists face different problems such as food insecurity. The data were collected by using participatory geographic information system (PGIS) and the descriptive data using questionnaire survey, focus group discussion and interviews. A total of 367 respondents were asked to fill the questionnaire, eight focus discussion one from each village, each focus group discussion comprised of eight members. The focus group discussions were assigned to locate the current and former mobility routes; once these points are reached the food is always finished, and all of these were located on the satellite image. Data show that 58% of the respondents said that the dynamics of the route was because of looking for shortcut path.

  • The Extractive Resource Industry in Tanzania
    The Extractive Resource Industry in Tanzania: Resource The Extractive The Extractive Resource Industry in Tanzania: Status and challenges of the mining sector The existing mineral wealth in a country should be a blessing. However the experience in some countries shows that this can prove to be very problematic instead. This publication is inspired by the increasing discovery of minerals in East Africa and the concern about their impact on the future of the region. It argues that if timely investments are made in promoting and implementing good practices in this sector, the problems that have plagued other resource-rich countries can be avoided in Status and challenges of the mining sector East Africa. This report, a product of a process that has engaged various industry stakeholders focuses on Tanzania, which is a relatively late arrival to large-scale mining. It maps out the performance of the mining sector as one component of Tanzania’s extractive resource industry (ERI) and analyses the interactions of the different stakeholders over time. It argues that although there are a number of challenges faced by the ERI sector, Tanzania could yet become one of the best performers in her class. However this will require hard work and investments by all stakeholders. By providing information on the challenges and implications of the current state of the ERI in Tanzania, this report wishes to contribute to the on going discourse and efforts to improve the performance of the ERI in Tanzania in a way that incorporates public accountability and transparency as well as increased participation and benefit to the Tanzanian population.

  • The Culture of “Silent Sexuality” Amongst the Shambala of Tanzania: Towards an Intercultural Approach in the Pastoral Ministry
    THE CULTURE OF “SILENT SEXUALITY” AMONGST THE SHAMBALA OF TANZANIA: TOWARDS AN INTERCULTURAL APPROACH IN THE PASTORAL MINISTRY By Eberhardt Ngugi Shemsanga A Dissertation Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Practical Theology and Missiology in the Faculty of Theology at the University of Stellenbosch Promoter: Dr. Christo Thesnaar MARCH 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this dissertation is my own original work, and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature................................. Date......................................... Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT SOLI DEO GLORIA This dissertation aims at discussing the influence of two eminent trends on African culture: modernity and globalization with special reference to the culture of silent sexuality as understood and practiced by the Shambala of Tanzania. It is based on secondary data collected through review of studies, reports, policy documents and surveys from various data sets from national, regional and international organizations. The two trends have not only transported the good side of the economic and social development across the globe and connected people from different cultures or nations in the world, but have also changed the culture of host communities. For example, the change from collectivism social structure that characterizes African society to individualism social structure that characterises the market-oriented culture of western society. This change indicates that without doubt “globalization and modernity are the most important and developed theories of the twentieth century” (Ritzer 2008:230).
