Despite challenges, the Council has made Aimmense contributions to crucial decisions and advanced media industry views in processes which culminated in enactment of legislation. Though at times things are not plain sailing, still the Council has maintained its position of cooperating with the authorities. The implementation of the Access to Information Editorial Board Act 2016 stands out in reflecting the Council stance in Kajubi Mukajanga promoting good working relations. MCT The Council had presented to the government proposals EXECUTIVE SECRETARY for the law at the very initial stage and discouraged the authorities’ early position of having a combined legislation for media services and access to information. Hamis Mzee Following spirited efforts by the Council and EDITOR stakeholders, the government relented and split the planned legislation into two – Media Services and Access to Information. While the Council and stakeholders are having strong issues resisting the several articles and clauses of the Media Services Act which was also enacted in 2016, it takes ATI as a positive piece of legislation. A study by the Council established several challenges in implementing ATI and approached the government with a proposal to train government information officers on the importance of the law and its usefulness in facilitating public access to public interest information held by authorities. These efforts paid off at last when government information officers from four regions attended a consultative workshop on ATI organized by the Council Government information officers who in mid-February 2021. attended a consultative workshop The fact that the government allowed its officers to organised by the Media Council of attend the workshop is major step in promoting ATI and Tanzania (MCT) pose for a group photo with the Executive Secretary of the working relations with the Council and media stakeholders.

It could be described as a huge ‘cleansing’ operation in which the main features include: a drive to eliminate corruption (in response to widespread demands from the electorate during the November 2015 elections); a cutting out of elements of low priority in the expenditure of government funds; and a better work ethic amongst government employees. The President has changed so many policies and practices since tak- ing office in November 2015 that it is difficult for a small journal like ‘Tanzanian Affairs’ to cover them adequately.

  • Mkapa, Benjamin William
    BENJAMIN WILLIAM MKAPA DCL Mr Chancellor, There’s something familiar about Benjamin Mkapa’s story; a graduate joins a political party with socialist leanings, rises rapidly through the establishment then leads a landslide electoral victory, he focuses on education and helps shift the economy to a successful and stable mixed model. He is popular though he does suffer criticism over his military policy from Clare Short. Then after 10 years he steps down, voluntarily. Tell this story to a British audience and few would think of the name Mkapa. Indeed, if you showed his picture most British people would have no idea who he was. This anonymity and commendable political story are huge achievements for he was a leader of a poor African country that was still under colonial rule less than 50 years ago. He’s not a household name because he did not preside over failure, nor impose dictatorial rule, he did not steal his people’s money or set tribal groups in conflict. He was a good democratic leader, an example in a continent with too few. The potential for failure was substantial. His country of 120 ethnic groups shares borders with Mozambique, Congo, Rwanda and Uganda. It ranks 31st in size in the world, yet 1 when it was redefined in 1920 the national education department had three staff. The defeat of Germany in 1918 ended the conflict in its East African colony and creation of a new British protectorate, Tanganyika. In 1961 the country achieved independence and three years later joined with Zanzibar to create Tanzania.

IRB protocol # 13090619 iii ABSTRACT They Have To See Us: an Ethnography of Deaf People in Tanzania Jessica Lee Department of Anthropology Thesis directed by Professor J. Terrence McCabe This dissertation explores the relationship between Tanzanian deaf people and mainstream society, as well as dynamics within deaf communities. I argue that deaf people who do participate in NGOs and other organizations that provide support to deaf people, do so strategically. In order to access services and improve their own lives and the lives of their families, deaf people in Tanzania move comfortably and fluidly between identity groups that are labeled as disabled or only as deaf. Through intentional use of the interventions provided by various organizations, deaf people are able to carve out deaf spaces that act as places for transmission of information, safe areas to learn and use sign language, and sites of network and community development among other deaf people.
