This thesis is written as an attempt to balance the population increase and provision of services in Dodoma. It addresses the issue of demand and supply by projecting the population and the uses in terms of office accommodation by the Capital Development Authority in its bid in providing services for the existing and incoming population. The data on population projection could indeed be a useful source for planners to extrapolate assessing the present and future demand for all services for Dodoma, in order to establish a balanced harmonious development of the Capital City.The needs assessment is therefore aimed to be the basic tool for the Government and the Capital Development Authority (CDA), to determine what are the characteristics of the incoming population, and what they will need in terms of offices, housing and schools. The Chapters on initial plans and survey of needs will provide the basis of the analysis and recommendations pertaining to the needs for the users in Dodoma. / Department of Urban Planning

Female participation in all spheres of society is crucial in the development of a nation. One way of increasing this participation is through education in the formal system because it provides more opportunities in a modernizing society. This study presents the situation of women in education in the context of Tanzania, which has developed policies geared towards equality at all levels of society. Tanzanian educational policies have attempted to equalize opportunities for everyone regardless of race, gender and social class. A few of those policies have succeeded in reducing gender imbalances without however changing attitudes towards women's potential in the development of the nation. This study attempts to demonstrate that educational policies affect female participation in a positive manner but essentially in quantity. In the context of Tanzania, quality in education had not been a priority as much as the commitment to mass education. Therefore, female education has evolved at a lower quality than male education, thus affecting outcome in terms of opportunity. Quality education and opportunity for women will only be possible if the school, family, community and all societal institutions join in a comprehensive effort to break barriers which now prevent their full participation.

There has recently been an increased pressure in all-healthcare disciplines to provide interventions that are scientific, safe, efficient and cost-effective. Evidence-based practice is said to be the current best approach to address these attributes. All healthcare professionals including physiotherapists need to adopt it. Numerous physiotherapy studies have been carried out to ascertain the attitudes towards, knowledge of, engagement in as well as the barriers of evidence-based practice. These studies were mostly carried out in the developed countries and almost none in the devloping African countries. By means of an exploratory cross-sectional study, deploying both quantitative and qualitative methods, this study investigated the Tanzanian physiotherapists attitudes towards the concept of evidence-absed practice. The study also examined the knowledge that they possess, that could enable them engage in evidence-based related activities. In addition, this study explored the barriers they experience while practicing evidence-based practice.

A Research Report Submitted to the School of Social Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the International Relations, 2016. / The study seeks to examine and provide an understanding of the processes of mediation of a border dispute on Lake Nyasa between Tanzania and Malawi. Border disputes in Africa are sometimes difficult to resolve peacefully and in a sustainable manner. The outcome of adjudication on border issues is normally not predictable, and in most cases, political leaders are not willing to accept the risks of losing their territory. Mediation, which is non-binding arbitration, provides a more flexible and balanced way to reach a satisfactory outcome, but the final results of mediated settlements sometimes makes politicians uncomfortable. This research sketches a conceptual framework of mediation by examining the Lake Nyasa dispute between Tanzania and Malawi. Most of the literature on border conflicts does not adequately address the attempts by African institutions to resolve these conflicts. This research uses the contingency theory to examine the roles of mediators and their impacts in attempting to resolve the dispute. The research finds that border disputes often flare-up when they are connected to important economic or social interests such as valuable mineral reserves, oil and gas, water source, and access to the sea. The findings reveal that the discovery of oil and gas deposits on Lake Nyasa led to the resurgence of claims and counter-claims between Malawi and Tanzania. In turn, these countries asked the African Forum to mediate the border dispute. In addition to analysis of the mediation role of the African Forum in this conflict, the report also examines the obstacles that have contributed to the stalemate in these efforts. The research recommends that for the mediation to be successful, the mediators should strive to understand and get knowledge about the source and basis of the dispute; knowledge on internal and external context of the disputants; level of resources-human and material at their disposal and the use the correct strategy to influence the parties in dispute. Also the countries in dispute may consider involving other local and regional mediators, neutral groups, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ). / MT2017

No / Demand for water in the Usangu Basin is driven by a number of competing uses. These include domestic supplies, irrigated agriculture, livestock, fishing, maintenance of the Usangu wetland, a National Park and major hydroelectric system downstream. As a result of a number of driving forces including the growing population, the water resources of the basin are becoming increasingly stressed, and downstream flows have now reduced to zero during the dry season. The paper is based on recent work to study to situation and work with local stakeholders to develop a sustainable management plan for the basin. Irrigated rice is by far the biggest user of water in the basin. The paper traces the successful development of irrigation there since the 1950s, based both on state-managed mechanised farms and on smallholder production. However, the expansion of irrigation has been a major factor in the change in water availability downstream, particularly as the cropping calendar expands into the dry season, when river flows are at their lowest. A number of initiatives are under way to try to reduce the impact of irrigation on the basin's water resources. These include projects to increase irrigation efficiency in smallholder systems, and improvements to water management institutions and processes. The aim is to restore dry season flows for downstream users by the year 2010.
