  • Towards Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in the Mara River Basin in Northeast Tanzania
    Journal of Ecology and the Natural Environment Vol. 2(10), pp. 213-224, October 2010 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/jene ISSN 2006- 9847 ©2010 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Towards sustainable management of natural resources in the Mara river basin in Northeast Tanzania Majule, A. E. Institute of Resource Assessment, University of Dar es Salaam, P. O. Box 35097, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected]. Tel: +255 754365644. Fax: +255 222410393. Accepted 7 October, 2010 Lack of coordination among sectors and institutions is among factors that results in ineffective management of natural resources in most basins in east Africa including Tanzania. In many cases, this has reported to be the most factor contributing natural resources degradation and conflicts between societies. This paper presents findings on different factors affecting the sustainability of the Mara River Basin (MRB) and proposes a management framework that will bring about sustainable resources use in the basin. The study was limited to the MRB part of Tanzania and multiple approaches were used in data collection. The MRB is experiencing a number of management problems including deforestation, land degradation and pollution of the river water associated with human activities. Institutional framework for natural resource management (NRM) is rather sectoral thus lacking integration and sometimes results into conflicting efforts to conserve natural resources. It is evident that some cultural attitudes including gender have positive impact on natural resources management such as the customary land tenure system. For sustainability of the MRB resources, a well coordination of natural resources and livelihoods projects, programs and stakeholders’ participation is a key factor without neglecting cultural aspects.

  • Importance of a Healthy Mara River to the Society and Economy of Kenya
    REPORT The Importance of a Healthy, Free-flowing Mara River to the Society and Economy of Kenya and Tanzania January 2019 Table of Content What makes the Mara River Basin so special? 2 How is the Mara River Basin at risk? 4 What do these risks mean for the economy and society of the Mara River Basin? 8 A call to action 9 Front Cover Image Credits: Kate Holt / WWF-UK, Austine Okande / WWF-Kenya 1 What makes the Mara River Basin so special? The Mara River Basin is home to one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world: the great wildebeest migration. The globally unique spectacle is completely and utterly reliant on a variable and naturally functioning Mara River Basin. Without the ebb and flow of the Mara River, the great wildebeest migration would cease to exist as we know it. This is just one single example of how the Mara River Basin is the blue heart of Kenya and Tanzania, supporting their economy and society. The figures below provide some context to the broader importance of the Mara River Basin to Kenya and Tanzania. For instance, although home to only 1.4% of the Kenyan population and 0.7% of the Tanzanian population, “the MRB supports some of the most profitable economic activities in Kenya and Tanzania including tourism, agriculture and mining which collectively contribute between 10-15% to both countries’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP).” 1 Figure 1: The Mara River Basin is the blue heart of Kenya and Tanzania 1 Nelson, PJ, Nyarangi J, Maritim, Z, n.d.

Please provide details of the security situation in Musoma/Mara, and in particular whether the region is experiencing tribal violence. Reports in regional media sources indicate that the Mara region of Tanzania is prone to outbreaks of clan and inter-clan violence, with the district of Tarime particularly volatile. Two reports were also located of violent incidents in Musoma district. The clashes described resulted in deaths and homes and land are often burned. The violence occurs between or within different clans and tribes and is often reported to be the result of disputes over land and cattle, though often the specific causes of clashes are not stated or are unclear. Location – Musoma, Mara Region Mara region is located in the north of Tanzania. It is bordered to the west by Lake Victoria and to the north-east by Kenya.

  • The Mara Strategy Cocktail of Ownership, Evidence, and Accountability
    Building and sustaining momentum for maternal and newborn survival – The Mara strategy cocktail of ownership, evidence, and accountability NB for IERG reviewers: Two versions of the case study are presented, a shortened summary followed by the full case study for further details and information. Summary (max 500 words) Introduction Mara region in north-west Tanzania is home to some of the most remote and impoverished communities in mainland Tanzania1. Despite a 2010-2013 regional strategy for reducing maternal and newborn mortality, there had been limited implementation of the planned activities and maternal and newborn healthcare was poor2. Evidence for Action (E4A)-MamaYe technically and financially supported Mara region to develop a new regional strategy to accelerate the reduction of maternal and newborn mortality between 2013 and 20163, through an evidence-based and participatory process. Description of the case Several aspects facilitated the strategy development success: A respected expert conducted a review of the previous strategy; her findings legitimised efforts without fear of giving offense. Leaders in the decentralised administration took early ownership of the strategy’s development, actively involving other staff. A comprehensive evidence package, based on the 2010 DHS, was presented to health administration staff representing all districts at a large participatory workshop. The evidence had strong legitimacy, uniting participants on the urgent need for change. The data showed that: (a) Mara’s performance was much poorer than the average for the Lake Zone, of neighbouring regions with comparable capacity, resources and challenges to Mara (Figure 1), and (b) Mara was performing well in child health. This demonstrated the feasibility of future progress and inspired commitment from participants.
