  • Integrating Gender Norms in Economic Empowerment Projects
    Tanzania Journal of Development Studies, Vol. 18 No. 2, 2020: 42 - 69 Integrating Gender Norms in Economic Empowerment Projects Jacqueline Halima Mgumia1 Abstract This article employs a critical gender empowerment framework to unpack the bearing of discriminatory gender norms on economic empowerment developmental projects that target young women. Informed by feminist theory, it shows how, being embedded in institutions, which carry particular social relations, cultural values, and power differentials, gendered norms around marriage, femininity/masculinity, and division of labour prevent young women from fully engaging in the projects. By drawing from ethnographic observation of two such projects in Mwanza and Dar es Salaam regions in Tanzania, the article also shows how gender norms can be enablers in achieving gender equality. As such, it argues that, for these projects to achieve their objectives of empowering young women to foster equitable development, they must integrate the critical gender empowerment framework in their overall design, implementation, and evaluation. Key words: Gender, Economic Empowerment, Development, Interventions, Young Women, Norms and Division of Labour Introduction The most prominent features of economies around the world, particularly in Africa, are gender inequalities in terms of income and division of labour as well as gender differences in property ownership, access to employment, and remunerations (Asongu, Nnanna, & Acha-Anyi, 2020; Asongu & Odhiambo, 2020; Azuh, Amodu, Azuh, Oresanya, & Matthew, 2017;

  • Social Studies Teachers' Perceptions and Practices
    SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS‘ PERCEPTIONS AND PRACTICES OF EDUCATING CITIZENS IN A DEMOCRACY IN UPPER CLASSES IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN BOTSWANA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program of The Ohio State University By Mavis B. Mhlauli, M.Ed. College of Education and Human Ecology The Ohio State University 2010 Doctoral Examination Committee: Dr Merry M. Merryfield, Advisor Dr Binaya Subedi Dr Antoinette Errante COPYRIGHTED BY: Mavis B. Mhlauli 2010 ABSTRACT The purpose of my study was to explore the social studies teachers‘ conceptualizations, experiences, ideas, beliefs and practices of developing citizens in a democracy in upper classes in primary schools in Botswana. The study adopted a qualitative research approach and employed the naturalistic paradigm. The study was undertaken in six primary school settings in one of the major villages in the central district in Botswana for a period of three months. Data were collected through the use of multiple methods including; individual interviews, participant observation, focus groups and document analysis for triangulation purposes. The study adopted a grounded theory to data analysis by using the constant comparative data analysis technique for purposes of theory generation. The findings of this study have revealed a gloomy picture on citizenship education as perceived, interpreted and enacted within primary schools investigated hence leading to the conclusion that citizenship education remains an illusion rather than a reality. The teachers conceptualize citizenship in multiple ways indicating that citizenship in Botswana is complex, fluid and not homogeneous. The findings have also shown tremendous contradictions, paradoxes and challenges in citizenship development in a democracy like Botswana.

  • The Case of Kijitonyama Ward, Kinondoni District, Dar Es Salaam Region, Tanzania
    Journal of Sociology and Social Work June 2017, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 68-79 ISSN: 2333-5807 (Print), 2333-5815 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jssw.v5n1a7 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jssw.v5n1a7 Dynamics in Family Patterns in Tanzania: The Case of Kijitonyama Ward, Kinondoni District, Dar Es Salaam Region, Tanzania William Manyama Assistant lecturer Institute of Social Work Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Abstract The family as an imperative social institution is currently undergoing different changes in the world. This paper examined the changing patterns of family in Tanzania in terms of ideas and practice. This study employed qualitative research approach and comparative research design. Patterns which were pulled out for comparisons include; family type, mate selection, authority patterns, forms of marriage, fertility pattern, single parent family, marriage without children, cohabitation and homosexuality. The results of this study revealed that there are mixed pre-dispositions and intricacies with regard to the transformation of family patterns in the Tanzania. First, the empirical data portrayed that many family patterns have been eroded by globalization and that Tanzanian families can hardly extricate themselves from the fast shifting world. Second, the findings showed that despite the rapid changes observed in the family patterns, not everything has been adopted by the Tanzanian families. This is because some of the global forces were perceived as threats to Tanzanian norms and values. This study recommends that since social changes are ongoing and inevitable in the globalizing world, more studies have to be conducted to understand to what extent the families respond to these changes across ethnic groups found in Tanzania and elsewhere.
