Operation Bootstrap Africa Dignity Fall 2016 New Nurses for Tanzania!
Operation Bootstrap Africa Dignity Fall 2016 New Nurses for Tanzania! The first students have graduated from the new Arusha Lutheran Medical Centre School of Nursing in Arusha, Tanzania. This school was the dream of many and your gifts made it a reality! Each one of these young people had the cost of their training reduced by a $1,000 annual OBA scholarship. These new nurses will provide patient care in hospitals, dispensaries and clinics across Tanzania, helping to meet the critical shortage of nurses in the country. Arusha Lutheran Medical Centre School of Nursing First Graduation - August 20, 2016 What a wonderful and blessed day we had on the very first graduation of our ALMC School of Nursing. It was an amazing and historic event as the first graduation included three separate classes. The festivities were honored by our Bishop, Rev. Solomon Massangwa, serving as guest of honor. Dr. Kibira, the director of the ALMC Training Centre, welcomed the crowd and Prof. Jacobson shared the history of the dream and the miracles of the school coming into being. There were three classes; the first class of 19 which had begun in March of 2014, the second class of 22 which started in September of 2014, and a third class which undertook a one-year course in Community Health Technician training and graduated 37 students. The complete set of exam results was only available for the first class who had an amazing success rate of 99.9% in the exams! While we wait for national comparisons to arrive, we are confident that we will be one of the top nursing schools in the country. -

Local Knowledge of Soils Among the Iraqw in Selected Villages in Mbulu and Karatu Districts: Implications for Research Interventions
Mwaseba D. et al.: Local knowledge of soils among the Iraqw in Mbulu 150 LOCAL KNOWLEDGE OF SOILS AMONG THE IRAQW IN SELECTED VILLAGES IN MBULU AND KARATU DISTRICTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH INTERVENTIONS Mwaseba1, D., Msanya1, B.M., Ole-Meiludie 2, D.J. and Massawe 3, A.W. 1Sokoine University of Agriculture, P. O. Box 3022, Morogoro, Tanzania 2 Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, TOSCA, P.O. Box 1056 Morogoro, Tanzania 3 Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Rodent Control Centre, P.O. Box 3047 Morogoro, Tanzania ABSTRACT This article reports on some findings from an on-going study in seven villages in Mbulu and Karatu Districts. These are Kainam, Gunyoda and Moringa (Mbulu District) and Kambi ya Simba, Kilima Tembo, Rhotia Kati and Kansay (Karatu District). The selected villages are predominantly inhabited by the Iraqw who are Afroasiatic or Hamitic- Cushitic speaking people. They form 65% of the people in the two districts. Using a combination of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and formal surveys the study found that there is a wealth of knowledge with regard to soil classification in the area. On the whole farmers use various criteria to classify their soils that also guide land use decisions. However, reliance on local knowledge in the classification of soils, landforms and land use is more common with small-scale agriculture, wh ereas large-scale farmers particularly in Karatu District rely more on research recommendations communicated to them through the public extension service or by researchers themselves to improve productivity in the area. While acknowledging the wealth of local knowledge in the area, the study recommends for scientific research interventions in partnerships with the local people in order to address existing land use limitations. -

Contribution of Local Leaders Towards Land Conflict Management in Tanzania: a Case of Farming Communities in Monduli District
International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2016): 79.57 | Impact Factor (2017): 7.296 Contribution of Local Leaders towards Land Conflict Management in Tanzania: A Case of Farming Communities in Monduli District Nsia Humphrey1, Peter A. Kopoka. PHD2 1, 2Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Kenya Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to assess the contribution of local leaders towards land conflict management. The paper is based on a study conducted in MonduliJuu ward in Monduli District in Arusha region. The study aimed at identifying sources of land conflicts, identifying the role of local leaders towards land conflicts management and examining the effectiveness of local leaders towards land conflicts management among farmers and pastoralists in MonduliJuu ward. The study adopted both quantitative and qualitative research approaches, the data were collected by using questionnaires and interview. The study employed a descriptive survey research design while the respondents were selected by using purposive sampling techniques and simple random sampling. The study involved 100 respondents which include 10 local leaders, 45 farmers and 45 pastoralists from MonduliJuu ward in Monduli District. The findings revealed that sources of land conflicts among farmers and pastoralists were poor land planning, scarcity of land and scramble for pasture. Furthermore,the findings discovered that local leaders play a leading role in solving land conflicts among farmers and pastoralists communities but during conflicts some of the local leaders favor their owncommunities andeven some of them take bribes when solving herders-farmers conflicts which creates dispute among the communities. Thus, the study recommends that in order to solve land conflicts, local leaders should be at the forefront to control and manage land conflict in time and should avoid taking bribe and put aside theirself-interest. -
Parthenium Hysterophorus L.) ON
i IMPACT OF PARTHENIUM WEED (Parthenium hysterophorus L.) ON PRODUCTION OF MAIZE AND COMMON BEANS IN ARUSHA, TANZANIA HAMIS DANIEL WAMBURA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CROP SCIENCE OF SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, MOROGORO, TANZANIA 2018 i EXTENDED ABSTRACT Introduction and spread of Parthenium hysterophorus is affecting crop production and farmer’s health. Impacts of this weed on crop production need be assessed and effective management measures be developed in order to reduce or prevent its effects. A study was therefore carried out in Arusha and Meru districts, to (i) describe the farmer’s perceptions about parthenium weed (ii) establish distribution and abundance of parthenium weed (iii) assess effective methods for parthenium weed control in maize fields. To achieve the above mentioned objectives, a field survey was conducted during the long rain season of 2017 in the study areas where 120 farmers growing maize and common beans were interviewed. List of villages and farmers were obtained from the district agricultural officers in the two districts. Three villages from Meru district (Mbuguni, Nasholi and Mareu) were selected randomly while Ilkerini, Losikito and Olorieni were randomly selected from Arusha district. Selection of 20 farmers from each village was also done randomly. On distribution and abundance of the weed, latitudes, longitudes and altitudes were recorded for every 10km intervals along the main arterial roads leading out of Arusha to Namanga, Kilimanjaro Airport, Mbuguni and Ilkerini using a hand-held GPS and simultaneously absence or presence and abundance were recorded. In order to identify effective methods to control the parthenium weed, a field experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design (CRBD) with four replications at the Tropical Pesticides Research Institute (TPRI) in Arusha.
