Mkalama District Council Profile MKALAMA DISTRICT COUNCIL PROFILE 2.1 Introduction Mkalama District Council was established in July, 2012. This is one of the newly established councils which are in line with the Government commitment of ensuring that provision of goods and services is brought closer to the beneficiaries, i.e. local people. Mkalama District Council was therefore born after having divided the former Iramba District Council into two independent Councils namely Mkalama and Iramba District Councils. 2.2 Location (Geographical setting) Mkalama District Council is one among six councils forming Singida Region namely Singida District Council, Manyoni District Council and Singida Municipal Council, Iramba District Council and Ikungi District Council. Mkalama is situated in the North of the region between latitudes 4o and 4.30o south of the Equator and longitudes 34o and 35o east of Greenwich Meridian. The district is divided into three major zones, the eastern low land and the central – lowlands. The central zone is covered with hills and plateau with an altitude of 1,000m to 1,500m above sea level, with sandy loam soils. The eastern zone comprises at lowlands along the Great Rift Valley with scattered hills with red, black and sandy loam soils. It mounts an altitude of 1,000m to 1,500m above sea level. Mkalama District Council covers an area of 3,365.51\ square Kilometers of which 44% is arable land. 2.3 Climate Despite the variation of climatic conditions throughout the year, the weather is attractive because of its low altitude. Most of Mkalama area receives early rainfall. This is between 500mm - 850mm per annum. Rainfall usually starts in mid - November up to mid - May. Rainfall is unimodal and rain season is interrupted by two notable day spells in mid - 1 February and mid - March. Temperature on the district ranges from about 15°c in July to 30°c during October. 2.4 Socio-Economical Situation Among major ethnic groups includes Agro-pastoralists, Nomads and Hadzabe. The largest ethnic group is Agro-pastoralists (The Nyiramba, Nyisanzu and Nyaturu) followed by Nomads (The Sukuma and Barbaigs) and finally Hadzabe who practices primitive hunting. The Nomads and Hadzabe create challenging working environment in respect to the health planning and practices mostly in data recording. This is especially in maternal and child health. Nomads and Hadzabe are among hard to reach population. Therefore, sustainable mobiles and outreaches are essential services that enable access of immunization services to all ethnic groups. 2.5 Main Economic Activities Mkalama District Council major economic activities includes agriculture, animal husbandry and Lumbering. 2.5.1 Agriculture The Nyiramba, Nyisanzu and Nyaturu are the main ethnic groups that contribute to the agriculture activities. While main food crops are maize, millet, sorghum, paddy, beans, cassava and sweet potatoes, the major cash crops are sunflower, cotton, onions, and groundnuts. The above mentioned crops are grown in three different major economic zones namely: the eastern lowland, the Mkalama Plateau and The Western Lowland zone (Rift Valley). a) The eastern lowland: this is characterized by loamy soil where maize, sorghum, sunflower, cotton, onions and beans are grown. b) Mkalama Plateau: about 85% of sandy is loamy soil where maize, millet, sunflower and groundnuts are grown. c) The Western Lowland zone (Rift Valley): characterized by black cotton soil where maize, paddy, sunflower, cotton and groundnuts onions grow. 2 2.5.2 Animal husbandry Nomads (Sukuma and Barabaigs) are the main ethnic group that concentrates on animal husbandry. Among household kept animals include cattle, goats, sheep, donkeys and chicken. Despite being used for nutrition purposes the bulls and donkeys are also used for farming and transportation. 2.5.3 Lumbering Gumanga ward is the main site located in the southern part of the district where lumbering in a small scale is taking place. This is facilitated by the existence of a forest reserve under government initiatives. The above mentioned economic activities plays role in improving the quality of life and finally health status. 2.6 Population Size and Growth According to the population and housing census of year 2012, the total population of the district is 188,733.

For about 70% of beekeepers interviewed, income from Introduction selling bee products subsidised household economies by at least 30%. Beekeeping in Tanzania plays a major role in socio-economic development. It is an important source of income especially for Honey production communities living close to forests and woodlands (BID Journal 89, The major areas of honey production in Tanzania are Dodoma, Iringa, 2008). In Tanzania current honey and beeswax production stand at 3.5% of Singida and Tabora Regions (NWRC, 2007). Manyoni District has a high estimated potential figures (Mwakatobe & Mlingwa, 2005). This low beekeeping production potential (Table 2), as it was reported by Village production indicates an opportunity to increase beekeeping activities to Beekeeping Development Groups that income accrued per individual raise income and reduce poverty. Despite its significance, there is little beekeeper increased from an average US$150 (€112) in June 2000, to empirical evidence of the value of traditional beekeeping for income US$691 (€516) in June 2003.

According to the country's Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security the food deficit in Tanzania is linked to the failure of short rains between August and November 2005 which account for 30% of annual harvests in the country. A Rapid Vulnerability Assessment carried out by the government, WFP, and NGOs in early February identified 564,000 of the total impacted population as being destitute and in need of free food distribution. To date, the government of Tanzania has not declared a national emergency but WFP and NGOs are concerned that government resources are insufficient to meet the urgent needs of this vulnerable population. The long rainy season is now expected between March and May, but if it fails or comes too late, the number of people needing food relief could go up. ACT member the Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) is appealing for assistance to provide food relief to approximately 80,500 of the most destitute people in seven regions in rural Tanzania, to be distributed through its member churches the Anglican Church of Tanzania (ACT), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT), the African Inland Church of Tanzania (AIC) and the Mennonite Church of Tanzania (MEN) stationed across the country.

G.* The University of Dodoma, Department of Agricultural Economics, P.O. Box 395, Dodoma, Tanzania Kaserwa N. Tanzania Warehouse Licensing Board, P.O. Box 38093, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Abstract: Marketing of crops in Tanzania has been undergoing change. Direct sales from farmers to traders and delivery to the Primary Cooperative Societies (PCS) were in practice at different points of time. Since 2007, the warehouse receipt system was introduced in Tanzania. The warehouse operators accept the deposit of crops in the warehouses and provide a receipt to the farmers through PCS and the farmers receive a part of the payments through bank financing based on these receipts. This study was conducted to assess whether Warehouse Receipt System has made any contribution in improving smallholder farmers ‘access to financial services. The study used cross sectional design where 100 smallholder farmers in Singida Rural district in Singida region were covered. Quantitative and qualitative techniques were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the motives that were used to influence smallholder farmers to join WRS included price, access to credit and access to market, although, most of the farmers participate into WRS to access credit for agricultural activities. Moreover, level of farming technologies adopted found to have increased significantly after joining the WRS. Based on these findings, it is recommended to increase sensitization efforts among the smallholder farmers in order to enable the larger spectrum of the community members becoming aware of the WRS practice.

The movement shows strong and persistent organizational stability. The Tanzania Federation of Cooperatives continually undertakes assessments and makes contributions to cooperative policy and legislation. Their capacity to lobby on behalf of cooperative members has made it possible for them to reach other cooperative movements, especially in Europe, and AFRICA there is now some networking between local cooperatives and foreign cooperative Coop Working Paper No.14 organizations. However, marketing services of the Tanzanian Federation of Cooperatives are limited and complaints of lack of access to markets and low prices for Cooperatives in Tanzania cooperative members’ crops are very common. Crop marketing cooperatives are heavily indebted to banks, which highlights the need for growth in the number of cooperative mainland: Revival and banks.

  • Does Scarcity Reduce Cooperation? Experimental Evidence from Rural Tanzania
    Development Economics Research Group Working Paper Series 04-2020 Does Scarcity Reduce Cooperation? Experimental Evidence from Rural Tanzania Gustav Agneman Paolo Falco Exaud Joel Onesmo Selejio October 2020 ISSN 2597-1018 Does Scarcity Reduce Cooperation? Experimental Evidence from Rural Tanzania∗ Gustav Agneman1, Paolo Falco1, Exaud Joel2, and Onesmo Selejio2 1Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen 2Department of Economics, University of Dar Es Salaam October 21, 2020 Abstract Cooperation is essential to reap efficiency gains from specialization, not least in poor com- munities where economic transactions often are informal. Yet, cooperation might be more difficult to sustain under scarcity, since defecting from a cooperative equilibrium can yield safe, short-run benefits. In this study, we investigate how scarcity affects cooperation by leveraging exogenous variation in economic conditions induced by the Msimu harvest in ru- ral Tanzania. We document significant changes in food consumption between the pre- and post-harvest period, and show that lean season scarcity reduces socially efficient but per- sonally risky investments in a framed Investment Game. This can contribute to what is commonly referred to as a behavioral poverty trap. Keywords: scarcity, cooperation, field experiment JEL Codes: C71, C93, D91 ∗This study was made possible by financial support from the Danish Embassy in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), as part of the GDRP Phase II Project. We are grateful to the team of research assistants from the Singida region for their excellent work. We are also thankful to the Development Economics Research Group at the University of Copenhagen for their invaluable support, and to the TRIBE group at the University of Copenhagen for great feedback.

  • Tanzania Livelihood Baseline Profile
    Tanzania Livelihood Baseline Profile Iramba Midland Maize, Sorghum and Sunflower Livelihood December, 20151 Zone (TLZ 22) Zone Description This agro-pastoral zone is located on the semi-arid central plateau of Tanzania. Rainfall is often erratic and dry spells and drought are quite frequent. Nonetheless, the local population produces a range of crops on relatively small plots of land (typically 1-8 acres). Maize, sorghum and sunflowers are the staple crops grown by all wealth groups both for food and for cash sale. Middle and better-off households produce various other cash crops as well (such as lentils and vegetables). Livestock production (milk, cattle and goat sales) is the second pillar of the local economy except for the very poor who rely on paid agricultural labor for most of their income. This zone is considered food surplus most years. However, poor and very poor households purchased about 45% of their food even in a relatively good year. Moreover, households face a number of production challenges both chronic and periodic. Crop and livestock diseases, and the high price of inputs are a few of the chronic problems. Drought is the main periodic hazard and occurs as often as once every 5 years. The boundaries of the zone were recently adjusted to exclude the area in the southwest (Mtoa Ward) where some cotton and paddy are grown in the lowlands. In addition, the area in the northeast (Mwanga Ward) was also shifted to a neighbouring zone where onions are grown in relatively high quantities. The revised boundaries now cover a total of 37 wards in parts of 2 districts, namely Iramba (20 wards) and Mkalama (17 wards).2 The zone is densely populated (54 people per km²) and is settled by 3 main groups: the Nyiramba, the Nyaturu and the Nyisanzu.
