Godwin Anaeli Moshi Svensk sammanfattning I föreliggande avhandling undersöks det norra stiftet (the Northern Diocese) i den evangelisk-lutherska kyrkan i Tanza- nia (ELCT). Syftet är att studera maktrelationer, i synnerhet manifesterade i framväxten av ledarskap samt i överlämnande och övertagande av ledarskap i detta stift. Undersökningen be- gränsas till perioden 1942–1993. Den är till sin natur kvalitativ och använder historiska metoder. Forskningen visar att stiftets historia har karakteriserats av både bemyndigande, manipulativa och dominerande relationer. Sådana relationer är uppenbara på olika plan; a) i kampen för indigeniseringen av stiftets ledning, b) i strävan efter att inrätta ett episkopat – en ledarskapsform som ansågs vara relevant i den tanzanianska kontexten, c) i relationen mellan kyrka och stat, d) i uppdelningen av det norra stiftet i tre stift och därtill en självständig kyrka, samt e) i den process som ledde fram till att prästämbetet öppnades för kvinnor. Relationerna i det norra stiftet kan karakteriseras som ett arv från både utländska missionärer och från ett nordtanzanianskt kulturellt sammanhang. Missionärerna som kom med evan- geliet rekryterade personer på lokalplanet till sin hjälp. Dessa lokala kristna tog senare över ledarskapet och förde troget vidare arvet från missionärerna. Beträffande ledarskapsstruktu- ren förblev stiftet därför i det stora hela oförändrat även efter att ledningen blivit tanzaniansk. Med stöd av sin kontext antog stiftet emellertid ett episkopalt ledarskap med biskop, vilket byggde på ledarskapsmodeller i hövdingadömen i området. Denna sammanblandning av olika traditioner kan också ses i motståndet mot att viga kvinnor till prästämbetet – något som varken bland missionärerna eller inom den kulturella kontexten i norra Tanzania ansåg vara genomförbart. Rasbaserade, etnis- ka och könsbaserade skillnader kan anses ha inverkat på rela- tionerna inom stiftet. Sammanfattningsvis kan konstateras att stiftets historia karak- teriseras av en slags klassbaserad stratifiering, något som po- tentiellt kan påverka stiftets verksamhet ännu i dag och därför behöver synliggöras och medvetandegöras.

  • Colonial Exploration and East African Resistance Oscar Baumann’S First Expedition Into Usambara, 1888 1
    Colonial Exploration and East African Resistance Oscar Baumann’s first expedition into Usambara, 1888 1 Erschienen in: Analele Universitatii Bucuresti - Istorie XLVIII (1999) 97-110 In Tanzanian late 19 th century history, the rebellion of the people of the “Mrima”, the Swahili- speaking coastal region 2, against German political penetration in 1888-1890 has always been given particular prominence by African as well as European historians alike. 3 In this discourse, the name of the Viennese traveller, researcher and diplomat Oscar Baumann is frequently mentioned. Not only did his travel accounts enjoy good reputation amongst contemporary European observers on both academic as well as non-academic levels. Even until today, Baumann‘s findings are frequently used by historians and anthropologists as primary sources of detail and importance. His ethnographic collections, still largely unresearched, form an important part of the Viennese Museum of Ethnology‘s heritage. 4 Mistakenly, however, most of english-speaking research gives Baumann‘s national origin as German; although he did work for German colonial agencies for some time, he was definitely Austrian. 1. Biographical notes Oscar Baumann was actually born in Vienna on June 25, 1864. 5 Although distantly related to the well-known Viennese business dynasties von Arnstein and von Neuwall (both of Jewish origin 6), living circumstances of the family - father Heinrich holding a bank job on medium level - do not 1 This paper is an updated version of Barbara Köfler / Walter Sauer, Scheitern in Usambara.

    Managing natural resources in the West Usambara Mountains: A glimmer of hope in the horizon Jeremias G. Mowo 1, Stephen T. Mwihomeke 2 and Justin B. Mzoo 3 Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Tanzania1, 3 Tanzania Forest Research Institute, Tanzania 2 2002 Keywords: mountains, highlands, forests, natural resource management, policies, farmers, Africa, Tanzania. Please see the full list of authors under Notes to readers at the end of this article. Abstract Past efforts in the management of natural resources in the West Usambara Mountains have not been successful mainly because the approaches were top – down and did not consider local communities important in natural resource management. Current initiatives active in the area have shown that participatory approaches involving all stakeholders as well as empowering local communities to take charge of natural resource management have more chances of success. Different biophysical, socio-economic, institutional and policy opportunities exist that can be exploited to attain sustainable natural resources management in the area. Scaling up of experiences obtained so far, exploiting indigenous knowledge on conservation, improvement in the information flow and market infrastructure and establishment of appropriate policies and by laws on natural resource management are some of the strategies for the way forward in attaining sustainable natural resource management in the West Usambara Mountains. Introduction The West Usambara Mountain ranges in North East Tanzania, forms part of the Eastern Arc Mountains. With elevation ranging from 900 – 2250 meters above the sea level they occupy about 80 % of Lushoto District in Tanga Region. More than 80 % of the population of Lushoto District (estimated at 526,278 (NRI, 2000)) reside in the West Usambara Mountains (Mwihomeke, 2002.

  • Forest Cover, Use and Dietary Intake in the East Usambara Mountains, Tanzania
    International Forestry Review Vol.13(3), 2011 305 Forest cover, use and dietary intake in the East Usambara Mountains, Tanzania B. POWELL, J. HALL* and T. JOHNS School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition, McGill University, Montreal, Canada *TECLIM, University of Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] SUMMARY Food insecurity and malnutrition in local populations both result from and drive deforestation. This paper examines the relationships between diet of local people and measures of forest cover and use in the East Usambara Mountains, Tanzania. Data on dietary diversity and intake were collected for 270 children and their mothers. Area of tree cover within the vicinity of each household was examined in relation to forest use and diet. Individuals using foods from forest and other non-farm land had higher dietary diversity, consumed more animal source foods and had more nutrient dense diets. They also had more tree cover in a close proximity to the home, suggesting a relationship between tree cover and forest food use. Households reporting trips to the forest had lower area of tree cover within close proximity, suggesting that land close to the home with tree cover such as agroforest and fallow is important for obtaining subsistence products. Although historically there has been little motivation for local people to participate in forest conservation in the East Usambaras, the maintenance of tree cover in the landscape around the home, especially on agricultural and village land, may be important in ensuring continued access to the health benefits potentially available in wild and forest foods.

  • Socio-Political Impact of Development Cooperation Measures in Tanzania: Analysing Impacts on Local Tensions and Conflicts
    GERMAN DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE GDI Socio-political Impact of Development Cooperation Measures in Tanzania: Analysing Impacts on Local Tensions and Conflicts Stephan Klingebiel Bettina Eberle Susanne Kühn Jochen Möller Stefan Nöthen Katja Roehder Axel Ulmer Preface This study sets out to analyse the socio-political impact of German develop- ment cooperation at project level in Tanzania, presenting an approach to ana- lysing impacts on local tensions and conflicts. It was conducted by a re- search team during the 1999/2000 training course run by the German Devel- opment Institute (GDI). All the members of the team would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped them to prepare and carry out the study. In Germany we were encouraged by the considerable interest shown in our study and by the support provided and ideas put to us by experts at the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the German Foreign Office, the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ), the German Bank for Reconstruction and Development (KfW) and the GDI. We were grateful for the comments and suggestions we received from experts and re- searchers in the areas of development cooperation, Tanzania, socio-political tensions, conflicts and impact analysis. It was particularly useful to share ideas and learn from our counterpart at the Institute of Development Studies (University of Dar es Salaam), Professor Ibrahim Shao, during his visit to Berlin in December 1999. During our stay in Tanzania (February to April 2000) we were accorded a warm welcome, considerable interest in our study and great patience from village to ministerial level.
