Economic Reforms And Health Conditions Of The Urban Poor In Tanzania, Joe Lugalla

Institute for Educational Development, East Africa

This paper examines the impact of economic reforms, namely Structural Adjustment Policies (SAPs), on the health conditions of the Tanzanian urban poor. My conclusion is that these policies have had detrimental effects on the living conditions of the urban poor. Thus, SAPs are contributing to the deterioration of health conditions among these people rather than improving them. SAPs are affecting these people in a variety of ways. First, by affecting negatively the development of the urban environment, SAPs are destroying the environmental conditions on which the poor depend for their existence and survival. Secondly, by impacting the provision of urban …

The Roman Catholic Church's Institutionalized Biases: Syncretic Processes In Tanzania, Julian M. Murchison

Southern Anthropologist

My ethnographic fieldwork in Tanzania suggests that many Tanzanian Roman Catholics would prefer for the Church to adopt more syncretic practices drawing on autochthonous customs, symbols, and ideas. Thoughts and suggestions from Tanzanians on this topic incorporate a wide variety of possibilities. Nevertheless, the present situation in the Roman Catholic Church in Tanzania seems to diverge significantly from these possibilities. Given this context, my paper will describe and examine the connections between the organizational structure of the Roman Catholic Church and syncretic manifestations in the Church in Tanzania. I will analyze the relation between the locations of decision-making and authority …

Community-Based Aids Prevention And Care In Africa—Dissemination Of Phase I Findings: Report Of Five National Workshops, Population Council

HIV and AIDS

Given the constraints faced by the health care infrastructure in responding to the AIDS crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, and the limitations of traditional educational approaches in motivating people to modify their sexual behavior within the African context, community-based efforts at AIDS prevention, and care of those affected, are the first lines of defense against the disease. Thus, they deserve greater scrutiny, to learn from the experiences and to continue and expand their efforts. The “Community-Based AIDS Prevention and Care in Africa: Building on Local Initiatives” project is being carried out by the Population Council with support from Glaxo Wellcome. The …

Optimal Capacity Allocation Truck Industry In Tanzania:A Case Of National Transport Corporations(Ntc), R Mgaya

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

This paper tries to examine truck transportation service in Tanzania, particularly, in National Transport Corporation’s subsidiary companies - Regional Transport Companies. It provides an analysis based on operations research approach on resource allocation, specifically, truck allocation, with an aim of trying to minimize running costs and hence improve profits. It is established that there had been higher running costs and hence decline of profits in some Regional Transport Companies due to misallocation of capacity. However, this problem had been compounded by some other factors as discussed in the paper. It is recommended that these Regional Transport Companies and other transport …

Community-Based Aids Prevention And Care In Africa: Case Studies From Five African Countries, Ann Leonard

HIV and AIDS

The Population Council carried out a three-year project entitled “Community-Based AIDS Prevention and Care in Africa: Building on Local Initiatives.” Given the constraints faced by the health care infrastructure in responding to the AIDS crisis and the limitations of traditional educational approaches in motivating people to modify their sexual behavior, in the African context community-based AIDS prevention and care of those affected are the first line of defense against the infection. This project was developed to explore efforts by organizations in Africa dealing directly with the consequences of AIDS, to understand the essential components of effective community-based efforts for AIDS …

Community-Based Aids Prevention And Care In Africa: Workshop Report, Andrea Eschen

HIV and AIDS

Representatives from community-based AIDS prevention and care programs in five sub-Saharan African countries spoke about their programs’ strengths, shortcomings, and hopes for the future at a meeting organized by the Population Council that took place on June 5, 1993, in Berlin just prior to the IXth International Conference on AIDS. Participants’ experiences and insights demonstrated the ingenuity and imagination that communities have generated to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS and how they have taken action where government activities have fallen short. The workshop brought representatives of these programs together with staff of governmental and nongovernmental organizations, funding institutions, …

Perestroika African Style: One-Party Government And Human Rights In Tanzania, John Quigley

Michigan Journal of International Law

The one-party systems in Africa have drawn negative reactions from Western States that provide economic aid. The article assesses the one-party system in light of international human rights law and asks whether aid-giving States must consider whether one-party rule in recipient States violates international standards. In this connection, the article asks whether the rights of association and political freedom as developed in Europe can fairly be applied to Africa, given its historical experience.

Hydraulic Rams For Rural Water Supply Schemes In Selected Areas In Tanzania, T Mbwette

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

This paper presents one of the many efforts made by the Faculty of Engineering and the Institute of Production Innovation of the University of Dar es Salaam towards the realization of the International Water Supply and Sanitation Decade. Special reference is made to the use of hydraulic rams along with some simple water treatment methods. Besides the account of theoretical and practical work done to-date in the field of water supply, a further evaluation of the theoretical model presented is recommended so as to enable a judgement of the present hydraulic ram designs to be done. Tests on a typical …

Contributions To The Knowledge Of The Mydis (Crustacea) From The Tanzanian Waters, Mihai Bacescu

Tanzania Journal of Science

This is the first study on Mysids from the Tanzanian coast waters, in which, on the basis of material captured by himself, the author deals with some species belonging to the subfamily of Gastrosaccidae and Mysinae. Of the about 20 species identified so far in the collected material, five are new, namely: Gastrosaccus  msangii n.sp.; Anisomysis kunduchiana n.sp.; Tenagomysis tanzaniana n.sp.; Anisomysis sirielloides n.sp. and Mysidopsis coralicola n.sp. and six others are new to the area. Ecological and ethological data concerning all species mentioned are given.

Literature And Law: How The Literary Quality Of A Political Statement Has Affected The Development Of Law In Tanzania, Robert L. Scott

IUSTITIA

The purpose of this inquiry is to demonstrate how the literary qualities of a political statement have contributed to the legal and economic development of an African nation.

It is my contention that a literary statement* is a useful tool in representing the process of events in a manner which reproduces the quality and character of the underlying reality. This more accurate reality is derived from the perspective of the artist who writes out of an experience common to his people, even though his expression is essentially a personal one: he writes according to his own sensibilities and is not …

Comments On The Avifauna Of Tanzania, Ii, S. Dillon Ripley, Gerd H. Heinrich

Postilla

Buccanodon olivaceum ulugurensis and Viridubucco leucomystax meridionalis (both Capitonidae), new subspecies, are described on the basis of morphological characters. Evidence is presented that Dendropicos fuscescens (Vieillot) and Dendropicos lafresnayi Malherbe ( = D. f. lafresnayi Malherbe) are distinct taxa. The distribution of Smithornis capensis (Smith) is redefined based on an examination of a large series of specimens from eastern Africa. Smithornis capensis meinertzhageni van Someren, S. c. suahelicus Grote, S. c. shimba van Someren, and S. c. chyulu van Someren are reinstated as valid subspecies and a key to their identification is given. Macrodipteryx longipennis (Shaw) is recorded as new …
