Drinking from own cistern: customary institutions and their impacts on rural water management in TanzaniaNkonya, Leticia Kuchibanda January 1900 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work / Robert K. Schaeffer / Increasing human population, economic development and climatic changes in Sub-Saharan Africa have caused water scarcity, hence an urgent need for institutional arrangements that will lead to sustainable water management. This study analyzes the impact of customary institutions on rural water management in Tanzania, and shows how they might be used to complement the statutory institutions. The study was conducted in Bariadi district, northwestern Tanzania. The data were collected from household surveys, focus group discussions, key informants, participant observations, photographs, and secondary data sources. The results indicate that customary institutions are the most commonly used in regulating equitable access to water, prevention of water pollution and abuse, and natural resource conflict resolution. The awareness of the customary laws was higher than statutory laws because of the participatory nature of the customary institutions. Statutory institutions were found to be important for regulating water development issues. Villagers were not aware of statutory laws related to equitable water access, and prevention of water pollution and abuse. The study also found that customary institutions tend to discriminate against women. Women do not have land rights and were not allowed to participate in customary institutions activities. These results suggest the need for the government to recognize the importance of customary institutions in water management. The government needs to design policies and strategies that will ensure that women’s rights are respected by the customary institutions. There is also a need for fostering women’s participation in decision making, and designing cooperative institutions that are organized and governed by resource users themselves.

Outcomes of Southern Baptist Short-Term Missions among the Sukuma People and Implications for Future Short-Term InitiativesBledsoe, James Wesley 16 May 2011 (has links)
This dissertation examines the realities from the receiving end of short-term volunteer mission projects among the Sukuma people of Tanzania by assessing their outcomes. The work also offers implications for future STM initiatives to assist participants in avoiding pitfalls and implementing an effective strategy for STM. Chapter 1 defines the short-term missions explosion and current issues facing volunteerism in missions. The chapter also provides a definition of church health used in the study.
Chapter 2 begins with an overview of theological issues facing short-term missions. Next, the chapter addresses specific missiological and anthropological issues pertinent to the effectiveness of short-term missions in an East African context.
Chapter 3 offers a brief historical overview of short-term missions in general as well as to Tanzania specifically. It looks at the practices and perceptions of short-term volunteers involved in Shinyanga, Tanzania.
Chapter 4 surveys the components of New Testament church life and practice evidenced among the believers and churches in Shinyanga, Tanzania based on the results of a survey. The chapter examines both the biblical proximity and the indigenousness of the churches in each of the areas of New Testament church life and practice.
Chapter 5 presents the outcomes of the STM projects among the receiving churches. The chapter evaluates four specific assumptions made by volunteers concerning the results of their endeavors. It also draws implications for avoiding pitfalls and championing successful methodology in future STM initiatives. These recommendations are made to assist STM to engage the receiving culture effectively.
This work contends that short-term volunteers do not always accomplish what is reported. That cultural and anthropological understanding and theological precision is of utmost importance to the preparation of short-term missionaries is made evident. The study seeks to support short-term missions; the conclusions, though critical at times, are intended to construct a more effective short-term missions philosophy and methodology. This dissertation serves as a wake-up call to volunteers, sending organizations, missionary personnel, and national churches alike that more harm than health can result if a biblical, culturally adept approach to the involvement is not embraced and implemented.

Contextualization and folk Islam : a case study in the SudanHadaway, Robin Dale 11 1900 (has links)
Estimates suggest that seventy percent of Muslims follow
folk Islam (popular Islam), rather than the orthodox Islamic
faith. Most methods for reaching Muslims with the
Gospel have concentrated on one of two broad approaches
with a third blending the first two methods.
Apologetic, polemic and dialogue techniques argue
that Christianity is more valid or reasonable than Islam.
Other approaches consist of contextualized methods seeking
some common ground between Christianity and Islam.
Apologetic arguments have not been very effective
with folk Muslims because cognitive propositions fail to
answer the “why” questions posed by popular Islam. Most
contextualized methods also miss the mark with folk Muslims;
they rarely attend Islamic worship, observe the
five pillars of Islam, or read the Qur’an. A few missiologists
propose a fourth category for reaching Muslims –
contextualizing according to their worldview.
This thesis explores what are the best approaches
for evangelizing folk Muslims who are particularly influenced
by African Traditional Religion (ATR). The Beja
tribe of the Sudan and the Sukuma tribe of Tanzania serve
as case studies. I argue for a contextualized approach to
folk Muslims, addressing their unique worldviews. ATRinfluenced
folk Muslims lean toward a fear-power
worldview, while the Sufis among them hold to an existential-
transcendent worldview. Each group, therefore,
necessitates a different evangelism approach.
The first chapter presents preliminary matters, the
research question, a literature review, and a rationale
for the thesis. The second chapter analyzes the case
study example of Beja folk Islam. Chapter three examines
folk Islam and its relationship to orthodox Islam,including further illustrations from the Beja tribe. The
fourth chapter explores the subject of ATR and its relationship
to folk Islam. The Sukuma tribe of Tanzania
serves as a base-line model of ATR for a comparison with
Beja folk Islam. Chapter five introduces the topic of
contextualization in Muslim evangelization and assesses
the effectiveness and validity of methods that have been
used. Chapter six suggests worldview approaches for
reaching ATR and Sufi-influenced folk Muslims. The final
chapter summarizes the thesis content, reviews the response
to the research question, and analyzes the implications
of the findings of the case study. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / D.Th. (Missiology)
