RESULTS OF PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS The following issues were raised by stakeholders; Demolition of Houses: The project will entail expropriation of land and property, especially houses. The owners were asking whether they will be compensated or not. Locations of stone quarries and borrow pits: Proper consultations and legal methods should be used in acquiring borrow pits and /or stone quarries. Proper reinstatement should be made once the gravel is depleted. Some pits should be left as water reservoir to assist in storing storm-runoffs water for future use. However, the authority to manage the pits should be given to the respective village governments. Spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections: The contractor is required to conduct relevant awareness seminars and campaigns on HIV/AIDS to both workers and communities. Accidents: It is feared that the tarmac road will claim people‟s lives through accidents. Advised the contractor/City council to carry out road users education, installation of clear and understandable road signs (preferably in Kiswahili), use of speed humps at villages and general police surveillance. Improved Accessibility: The roads will guarantee easy accessibility and therefore more physical development. Loss of Farms and crops: Some farms, commercial trees, crops will be chopped by the planned road construction. Will these properties be compensated? Dust during construction: dust production is inherent to all road construction works. The contractor must have means to damped the dust otherwise conditions may be intolerable. Employment (Laborers): each LGA being transversed by the subproject roads should have a share in providing labourers. The contractor should ensure that the local people are given preference during job recruitment process. Improved life: Local people are expecting improved life after the construction of the roads as it will open up the Mwanza city and increase business. Other Infrastructure: Some stakeholders showed concern on the precence of other infrastructure such as water pipes, sewerage network etc near the project road POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS The rehabilitation/construction of roads can cause a wide range of environmental and social impacts on a number of receptors.

  • A Case of Ilemela and Magu Districts in Tanzania
    Journal of the Geographical Association of Tanzania, Vol. 36 No. 2: 35–44 Water and Pasture Availability on Livestock Routes Under a Changing Climate: A Case of Ilemela and Magu Districts in Tanzania Siwa Ernest*, Martine Hagai† & Japhet J. Kashaigili‡ Abstract The beef cattle production system practiced in the Lake Victoria Basin is mainly extensive, which involves cattle grazing on natural pastures. This system is characterized by overgrazing, low livestock production and soil degradation. Under the effects of global climate change, these pastoral management challenges are expected to increase. As the impacts of climate change to beef cattle production over the Lake Victoria Basin is unknown, this study used participatory mapping method and focus group discussions to assess spatial changes in livestock routes in relation to water and pasture availability in Ilemela and Magu districts of Mwanza region, Tanzania. GIS technology was used for the formalization of spatial layers. It was revealed that there were many changes in livestock routes such that some have become roads, some have been lost, and others narrowed. These changes were due to increase of settlements and cultivated areas, and more specifically a general decline of water sources and grazing land. This implies that appropriate strategies such as a land use planning, stock routings modification, education on effective cattle farming and intervention by rainwater harvesting should be designed so as to adapt to climate change effects, and improve livestock production in Ilemela and Magu districts. Keywords: beef cattle production; Lake Victoria Basin; GIS; climate change 1. Introduction Livestock production contributes about 40 percent of the global value of agriculture output, and supports the livelihood of almost a billion people (FAO, 2009).

Bishagazi Saint Augustine University of Tanzania *Corresponding Mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents findings of an empirical study carried out to identify barriers and enablers of women’s participation in the industrial economy in Tanzania, using a case study of Mwanza region, using a cross-sectional design to examine determinants of women participation in the industrial economy in Tanzania. Particularly, a mixed approach involving both qualitative and quantitative data was adopted. Generally, the study reached out to a total of 228 women and 21 Key Informants drawn from 12 sampled wards from two districts of Nyamagana and Sengerema. Data collection involved mainly two approaches: primary data collection through survey, Key Informant Interviews (semi- structured), informal interviews, Focus Group Discussions and secondary data through desk review. The study revealed that limited access to financing information, lack of formal education, lack of entrepreneurial knowledge/skills and lack of marketing information are major barriers for women wishing to participate in the industrial economy. Moreover, membership in CBO and self-confidence are the main enablers of women participation in the industrial economy. Therefore, sensitization programs and establishment of Business Development Services (BDS) at ward levels would help women to access skills and services which will empower them to actively and successfully participate in the industrial economy.
