Integrating Sti/Hiv Management Strategies Into Existing Mch/Fp Programs: Lessons From Case Studies In East And Southern Africa, Baker Ndugga Maggwa, Ian Askew

Reproductive Health

Sub-Saharan Africa is confronting an HIV/AIDS epidemic and virtually all health programs in the region are seeking ways of preventing and reducing the spread of this virus. To compound the problem, the presence of certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is known to increase risk of the sexual transmission of HIV. The sub-Saharan region is believed to have some of the highest levels of STIs in the world, thus controlling STIs is not only an important reproductive health care strategy in itself but also a key strategy in reducing the spread of HIV. The strongest evidence to support this has come …

Mosques Against Malaria, M.S. Mfaume, P.J. Winch, A.M. Makemba, Zul Premji

Pathology, East Africa

In a community-based malaria control project covering a predominantly Muslim population in the United Republic of Tanzania, difficulty was encountered in motivating people to have their mosquito nets reimpregnated with insecticide at six-monthly intervals. Education on this subject was therefore provided in mosques during Friday noon prayers. People who attended these services considered them an appropriate forum for discussing health concerns and viewed them as a credible source of information.Insecticide-impregnated bednets help to control the spread of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The Bagamoyo Bednet Project is a community-based scheme to develop a sustainable system for the distribution and promotion …

Hope And Despair For A New South Africa: The Limits Of Rights Discourse, Makau Wa Mutua

Journal Articles

This article is a critique of the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa. It explores the assumptions employed by the African National Congress and the international community to construct a post-apartheid society. It argues that the reliance on the law as the key medium for economic, social, and political change was insufficient to transform the legacy of apartheid. Instead, the piece contends that apartheid was privatized and its beneficiaries protected under the new dispensation. It makes the argument that the lot of the black majority is unlikely to be changed such gradualist approach to social change.

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 …

Development, Change, And Poverty In The Informal Sector During The Era Of Structural Adjustments In Tanzania, Joe Lugalla

Institute for Educational Development, East Africa

This article focuses on periods of economic crisis and structural adjustments in Tanzania, when the informal sector changed both quantitatively and qualitatively. It highlights that the traditional view that the informal sector accommodated the unemployed, the poor, the unskilled, as well as utilizing family labour and local resources, was questionable in most of the sub-Saharan countries which were experiencing a severe economic crisis and have adopted structural adjustment policies (SAPs). The author suggests that policy programs aimed at promoting the informal sector should acknowledge the fact that the crisis, as well as SAPs, have forced not only the poor, but …

Analysis Of Marine Environment Protection Law In Tanzania, Mkakili Fauster Ngowi

World Maritime University Dissertations

The polluting potential of wastes generated is a function of the volume of effluent discharged, their dilution in the receiving water, and their toxicity to marine life. The coastal pollution in Tanzania is no exception to this defined parameter of polluting potential. Most of the factories along the Tanzanian coast often discharge their wastes without treatment directly into the sea. This coupled with the rapidly growing human population and settlements in the coastal zone further exert pressure on the coastal resources. The current state of the Tanzanian marine pollution therefore, is a matter of concern. The environmental challenges that Tanzania …

Effect Of Filter Pore Size For Liquid Effluent Removal On The Performance Of An Artificial Rumen Reactor, Amelia Kajumulo Kivaisi, Martin Barugahare

Tanzania Journal of Science

The effect of filter pore size on performance of an artificial rumen reactor was studied. Filter units of pore sizes in the range of 10-300 mm were used in the reactor to separate the solids from the fermentation liquid at solid and liquid retention times of 72 and 12 h, respectively. The overall performance of the reactor decrease markedly with increasing filter pore size. Total cellulose activity and substrate degradation decreased by 70 and 30% respectively, when the pre sizes changed from 10 to 300 mm. ciliate protozoa decreased in number with increasing filter pore size and were almost completely …

Dispersion Of Heavy Metals Along Msimbazi River Basin In Dar Es Salaam, Jwa Kondoro

Tanzania Journal of Science

Several locations of Msimbazi River, a prominent river basin passing through the urban area of Dar es Salaam into the Indian Ocean were sampled for about six months. The sampled specimens of water and sediments were investigated for the extent of heavy metal pollution using atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) and X-Ray Fluorescence analysis (XRF) techniques. The major elements of interest in this study were Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu and Cr. Water analysis showed low concentrations for most of the elements. However, sediments showed significant concentration level in various stretches of the river basin for certain elements. The report analyses distribution …

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 …
