Mbelle vii | P a g e Executive summary Introduction and background The overarching objective of this report is to present baseline information that aims at establishing current status and future targets, milestones and indicators to measure and assess poverty-environment-gender nexus in Ileje District, Tanzania; with a view to improving development planning in terms of ability to integrate poverty-environment-gender objectives for sustainable economic development. The expectation is that district capacities to mainstream and implement environmental sustainability, poverty reduction, gender and climate change linkages into district and sector development plans will be enhanced, starting with agriculture, forestry and fishery as well as develop financial mechanisms. Poverty –Environment Indicators are used in order to facilitate the development of tools for integration of environment into development plans and budget processes as well as assisting in monitoring the linkage between bio-capacity and human poverty. When the environment is degraded by 1%, poverty increases by 0.26%. Economic geography The diversity of agro – economic zones supports a variety of economic activities and offers greater opportunities for development. The 18 wards of Ileje district exhibit wide differences in terms of size and population characteristics. This is an opportunity for targeting programmes such as poverty reduction and empowerment of women. People, Poverty and Environment Over 85 percent of the 124,451 inhabitants (58,463 or 47 percent males and 65,988 or 53 percent female) of Ileje population, are predominantly agriculturalists. Immense business opportunities exist locally as well as international through cross border trading with people of Malawi. Ileje district is poorly served with financial services infrastructure to support such opportunities. About 31.4 percent of the district‟s inhabitants live below the basic needs poverty line (compared to Mbeya regional incidence of 23.8 percent; though slightly better than the national average of 35.7 percent (2000/01 latest district level data). The depth of poverty in Ileje is the highest in Mbeya region meaning that it will take more efforts to lift Ileje people out of basic needs poverty than any other district in Mbeya region. About T.Shs 358,677,489 or USD 221,405.9) per month. This is the monthly amount of money needed to bring the poor population of Ileje District to the basic needs poverty line as of 2011/12. viii | P a g e Non-income measures of poverty, such as housing condition, access to education and health place the district at a better position. Deforestation is the main environmental challenge. Notable improvements in housing condition are achieved at the expense of forest cover mainly due to weak enforcement of stipulated by- laws protecting forest resource. The main challenge with respect to trans-boundary resources (forests and river Songwe is how to operationalize common laws that should apply to both Tanzania and Malawi. District priorities in each priority sector In agriculture, the top five are productivity improvement, processing, marketing, storage and irrigation projects. Other priorities included use of non- chemical fertilizers, enforcement of bylaws guarding against encroachment of river sources and river banks, and introduction/scaling up of sunflower as a new cash crop. With regard to forestry, finding alternatives to wood as source of fuel was ranked first. Further, afforestation/reforestation, enforcing bylaws; environmental education and awareness. Other identified areas are enforcement of land use plans, apiary farms (bee keeping), and investment in forestry products. Lastly preservation of trans boundary resources (river Songwe basin and woodlands) was suggested. District Development Plan and Budget Ileje district relies for about 96.1 percent of its budget on Central Government (own source revenue is only about 3.9 percent. There has been a general decline in own source revenue collection. A number of measures need to be taken to improve collection. These include widening tax base, improving infrastructure in order to attract investments, tax payer education, etc. District development plans and budget do integrate poverty reduction, gender and environment management objectives. Human Resources, tools and coordination mechanisms for mainstreaming poverty reduction and environmental conservation objectives Strategic Plan and budgets in the Sectors of agriculture, fishery and forestry Capacity in agriculture (number of staff, skill levels, knowledge, tools, coordination mechanism etc.) was assessed adequate. With respect to water, capacity especially in terms of staff is inadequate. ix | P a g e The challenges that limit integration are inadequate number of staff in key areas and financial constraints leading to failure to implement the intended plans. Youth and women participation/involvement on plan and budget in agriculture, fishery and forest sectors Participation of women is ensured through requiring representation in committees such as irrigation committees, to constitute at least 40 percent while male representatives are not to exceed 60 percent. Through their groups, women and youth have been able to raise their voices and have their ideas integrated in district plans. Key geographical sites (villages or an area/location in a village) in the District for immediate actions /interventions in agriculture, fishery and forest for achieving Big Results now The main suggestion was improving tradition irrigation system at Ibingu and Kalembo villages. Suggestion/recommendation for integrating and implementing poverty-environment nexus The recommended areas are: Dealing with poverty first: Stakeholders view poverty to be the cause of environmental degradation. Addressing poverty

  • 1.0. Introduction
    FERTILITY LEVELS AND PATTERNS AMONG HIV-INFECTED AND UN-INFECTED WOMEN IN KYELA DISTRICT A CASE STUDY FROM TANZANIA. 1.0. Introduction The fertility transition, seen in many parts of the world, has been slow to start in Sub-Saharan Africa, although recent evidence suggests a moderate of fertility in few countries (UNAIDS, 2003). It is not clear how the HIV epidemic will alter future levels of fertility and what impact it will have on the nature of fertility transition. The contribution of HIV/AIDS to the fertility transition is not currently evident due to the fact that. For four reasons. First, isolating the factor of HIV/AIDS from other factors of fertility is a complex process because it is not a proximate variable, but one of the contributors to several proximate determinants of fertility. Secondly, for the impact of the epidemic to be felt, the prevalence has to be high in the region of 20 percent and be sustainable for a long time, about a decade or longer. Thirdly, behavior factors may reduce fertility of women with symptoms of AIDS, but not those asymptomatic. Fourthly, as infant mortality increases, the need to replace dead children and produce more to ensure survival of some will challenge implementation of family planning programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa and perhaps increase fertility. Also, increasing HIV prevalence in the region will mean that HIV/AIDS programmes will compete for resources with family planning progrmmes, which would weaken the latter (UNAIDS, 2003). Recent studies in Sub Saharan Africa have shown that fertility is reduced among HIV infected women compare with uninfected women.

  • The Archaeology of Mbeya Region, Southwestern Tanzania
    128 Notes Azania XI Archaeological survey in Mbeya Region, Southern Tanzania I" Azania XVII we included a paper by Thomas Wynn and Thomas Chadderdon on the distinctive LSA Kiwira Industry in Tukuyu District, between RunJ!We Mountain and the northern tip of Lake Nyasa . Tl1e present note place$ that work in the context of a broader survey in that reJ!ion by a team from the University of Illinois at Urbana . Sally McBrearty is complttinJ! her thesis at Urbana, Dr Waane is with the·Tanzanian An­ tiquities, while Dr Wynn is on faculty at the University of Colorado. While this volume of A-zania was in press, we discovered that, as a result of some unexplained com­ munication problem, another version of this paper had appeared in Tanzania Notes and Records, 88/89 {for 1982), pp, 15-32 , At this late staJ!e and in view of various editorial amendments and reduction aJ!reed with the authors when the note was offered to Azania and accepted in JIOOd faith, we have decided not to delete it from our proofs. We are happy to have the aJ!ret~ment of the editors ofTNR to this. Normally, however, we would not carry an article or note already published or accepted elsewhere. The TNR version will be valuable to a number of readers for its illustration of stone artefacts. In 1976 we undertook an archaeological survey of portions of lleje, Kyela, Mbeya, Mbozi and Tukuyu Districts of Mbeya Region in southern Tanzania. As no formal archaeological reconnaissance of the region had previously been undertaken, our intention was to establish the general outlines of prehistoric occupation of the area.

  • International Journal of Science Arts and Commerce a History of Rungwe
    International Journal of Science Arts and Commerce Vol. 2 No. 2, April-2017 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE ARTS AND COMMERCE A HISTORY OF RUNGWE DISTRICT IN TANZANIA FROM PRE-COLONIAL TO COLONIAL PERIOD Reginald Mwakilambo Department of History, The Open University of Tanzania Abstract This article highlights the historical events that occurred in Rungwe District, Tanzania in pre colonial and colonial periods. It gives an analysis of the situation during the pre-colonial period and how the district became integrated in the capitalist economic system after the establishment of colonial rule. Capitalist relations were in terms of the establishment of cash crop estates as an element of colonial economic structure. Both peasant-type and estate productions involved productions for exports to metropolitan countries by firmly solidifying world capitalist economic relations as the metropoles were set ready to receive processed products from the district. 1.0 Introduction Rungwe District lies between longitudes “80 30′ and 90 30′ E” and latitudes “330 and 340 S” in the southern part of Mbeya Region.1 It is bordered by Mbeya District to the North, Makete District in Njombe Region to the East, Kyela District in the South and Ileje District in the West. The district consists of four divisions, which are “Ukukwe, Busokelo, Pakati and Tukuyu.”2 The geographical boundaries of the district have never been fixed in the past, but they have been changing by differently defined by the previous colonial governments of the Germans and British, and later by the independent government of the United Republic of Tanzania. The beginning of German colonial rule in Rungwe District was in 1893 by the German explorer Major Von Wissmann who founded a government station at a place along Lake Nyasa which was given the name “Langenburg” in the honour of “Prinz von Hohenlohe-Langenburg” the champion of German colonial endeavours (currently known as Lumbila in Ludewa District).

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Rungwe district in Mbeya region is amongst the many areas in Tanzania which until recently have remained terra incognita in terms of ecological and archaeological research. Systematic archaeo- logical investigations, based on heritage management and conservation have not been undertaken. In due regard, we decided to carry out the first systematic survey, documentation and recording of the heritage resources of this district. Our investigations emphasized public participation in the management and conservation of heritage resources with the involvement of local people the central focus. We were also motivated by the desire to launch community outreach programmes and establish the “Cultural-Ecological Research and Scientific Information Centre” in Masoko-Kisi- ba Ward. There were several meetings with the local people and the village officials to discuss plans. It was decided that the establishment of the deemed scientific and information centre would abide with the existing conservation laws in order to effectively address the strategies for protection, conservation and management of both natural and cultural heritage resources.
