UVT Umoja wa Vijana Tanzania UWT Umoja wa Wanawake Tanzania YFEC Yetu Farmers’ Extension Centre x Acknowledgements Doing a PhD has been a very long process. It did not begin on the day I enrolled for it or the day I presented my proposal. It has been a long continuum with a long past, long present, and definitely it will have a long future. It has been a journey that has involved many individuals, communities, and institutions, some of which I have been aware of and some of them never. It is difficult to mention by names all the people involved; however, to all the people and institutions whose names I fail to mention here, I acknowledge and appreciate your contributions during this long journey. In the long past, I wish to begin with special people in this whole PhD journey. The Swahili people ask: ni nani kama baba na mama ?: who is like the father and mother? Nobody, of course, at least from my experience! This makes me acknow- ledge all the parental care that I have received from my parents, Kokuhirwa Ger- trude and Kawegere Fortunatus: you have always had questions about me and what was to happen in my life; you would see me going, not understanding the destina- tion, but you would always wish me well. Thanks for your respect, patience, under- standing, and goodwill. I am learning to appreciate and practice these values as a parent to three energetic men! Dee Carabine: your life has always inspired me. You have been a mentor. I cannot forget your inspiration on caring for life, minding big and small things, and challenging attitude to get the best out of whoever related with you. Michel: your doors were always open to me; you discussed and advised me on private and professional matters. I have learnt and I am still learning what it means to balance professionalism and simplicity in life! There is your life in my life, Michel! Fr Philbert Aikambe: You were interested in my life; you always liked to know where I was and what I was doing; you never hesitated to give advice and a helpful hand in times of need. Thanks for always being there as a consultant for us young people! Fr Dr Gosbert Byamungu: I acknowledge your efforts for me to excel; your academic inspirations and word sometime back, “Kamanzi, be yourself”, are still landmarks in my life: this is my way and no retreat: nobody else would be me except, myself! It cost me; it still costs; it will cost, but that is the way! I have parents in Nijmegen,

  • LAKE VICTORIA Commercial Agriculture –Especiallycoffee Andcotton–Are Increasingly Important
    © Lonely Planet Publications 240 Lake Victoria LAKE VICTORIA Lake Victoria is Africa’s largest lake, and the second-largest freshwater lake in the world. While the Tanzanian portion sees only a trickle of tourists, the region holds many attractions for those who have a bent for the offbeat and who want to immerse themselves in the rhythms of local life. At the Bujora Cultural Centre near Mwanza, you can learn Sukuma dancing and get acquainted with the culture of Tanzania’s largest tribal group. Further north at Butiama is the Nyerere museum, an essential stop for anyone interested in the great statesman. Musoma and Bukoba – both with a sleepy, waterside charm – are ideal places for getting a taste of lakeshore life. Bukoba is also notable as the heartland of the Haya people, who had one of the most highly developed early societies on the continent. Mwanza, to the southeast, is Tanzania’s second largest city after Dar es Salaam, and an increasingly popular jumping off point for safaris into the Serengeti’s Western Corridor. To the southwest is Rubondo Island National Park for bird-watching and relaxing. The best way to explore the lake region is as part of a larger loop combining Uganda and/or Kenya with Tanzania’s northern circuit via the western Serengeti, although you’ll need time, and a tolerance for rough roads. While most accommodation is no-frills, there are a few idyllic getaways – notably on Rubondo and Lukuba Islands, and near Mwanza. Most locals you’ll meet rely on fishing and small-scale farming for their living, although industry and commercial agriculture – especially coffee and cotton – are increasingly important.

  • Tanzania MFR Summary Report
    TANZANIA August 20, 2018 Market Fundamentals Summary KEY MESSAGES The objective of this report is to document the basic market context Figure 1. Map of Tanzania for staple food and livestock production and marketing in Tanzania. The information presented is based on desk research, a field assessment using rapid rural appraisal techniques, and a consultation workshop with stakehoders in Tanzania. Findings from this report will inform regular market monitoring and analysis in Tanzania. Maize, rice, sorghum, millet, pulses (beans and peas), cassava and bananas (plantains) are the main staple foods in Tanzania. Maize is the most widely consumed staple in Tanzania and the country imports significant quantities of wheat to meet local demand for wheat flour. Consumption of other staples varies across the country based on local supply and demand dynamics. Cattle, goat and sheep are the major sources of red meat consumed in Tanzania. Tanzania’s cropping calendar follows two distinct seasonal patterns. The Msimu season covers unimodal rainfall areas in the south, west and central parts of the country while the Masika and Vuli seasons Source: FEWS NET (2018). cover bi-modal rainfall areas in the north and eastern parts of the country (Figure 5). Figure 2. Tanzania’s average self sufficiency status for key staple foods (2014/15 – 2017/18) As a member of the East Africa Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Tanzania plays an important role in regional staple food trade across East and Southern Africa (Annex III). The country is generally a surplus producer of staple cereals and pulses, and exports significant quantities of these commodities to neighboring countries in East and Southern Africa inlcuding Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratice Republic of Congo (Figure 2).

  • FISH FARMING PROJECT Project Period
    PROJECT PROPOSAL SUMMARY SHEET Project Title: FISH FARMING PROJECT Project Period: 1 YEAR Target areas: KASHOZI PARISH BUKOBA DIOCESE Total funds requested: GBP 15,000 Proposal submitted to: ALLIANCE OF RELIGIONS AND CONSERVATION Proposal submitted by: BUKOBA CATHOLIC DIOCESE Applicant’s address: Applicant’s telephone: Applicant’s e-mail: Applicant’s legal status: RELIGIOUS ORGANISATION Project Leaders’ name: Date of Submission: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For the past few years the Catholic Diocese of Bukoba has been trying to find ways and means of mitigating the currently passive culture of her members in participating in community development programs especially through initiatives originating from and developed by the church organizations such as the youth, women, men and other church groups. KASHOZI FISH FARMING PROJECT is a result of such initiatives. It has been developed through dialogue between the leadership of the church at Diocese level and the leadership of the parish and by involving representatives of the organizations of the church in the parish. Through this interactive process it was found out that even though the parish is the oldest in the Diocese the evangelization process and member response has been declining due to a number of challenges among which are weak economies of the members and outbreak of new religious denominations both of which contribute to poor participation of the catholic Christians in activities that promote evangelization at different levels. KASHOZI FISH FARMING PROJECT is only a component of the ongoing process for development of a comprehensive community development program (CONSERVATION AND FOOD SECURITY PROGRAM). This program is expected to promote other components as agro forestry, environmental management and other areas according to nature and priority.

  • Political Generations in Bukoba : 1890-1939
    (. POLITICAL GENERATIONS IN BUKOBA : 1890-1939. When .I first began my researches into Tang anyika colonial history, my aims were rather theoretical - namely, to camp are certain British id.eas of ":indirect rule" to the actual development of indigenous political and social dtructures under European domination. The following account of the Bukoba district during the 11 classical" period of colonialism began as a case study in one such development . In assembling my materials , however, I have found it diffic­ ult to relate the narrative of events to the original frame of reference . In fact, at my present stage of work, it remains very much a narrative and hardly at all an analystic exercise. What theoretical framework I have bee·n able to salvage is, as the title of my paper suggests, largely evolutionary. The "political generations" which I wish to distinguish in the various stage s of colonial rule ar~ those Africans who were able to mediate spontaneously between the machinery of alien government and the outlook of the indigenous popu" lation. At the beginning of German rule in Bukoba, there was no such · agency, and dealings between Europeans and Africans were carried out through the medium of intrigue and violenao. Ultimately, the Germans were able to come to an unde rstanding with both the .local African chiefs and the Catholic missiona aries both of whom performed the actual task of stimulating modernization in the district, Under British rule, despite elaborate professions to the contrary, chiefs were deprived of the substance of their traditional power and coopted into the colonial bureau­ cracy, Even missionaries, in their key educational function, were absorbed into the same e stablishment.
