O Cleirigh, Earnan / University of Manchester [Full text] Abortion and family planning in Tanzania Kinemo, Ross E.J / Mzumbe University Abstract : Abortion has been defined as the termination of pregnancy, either spontaneously or by intervention before the fetus reaches viability. The term abortion covers both accidental and intentional interruption of pregnancy, although the word termination is often used for intentional act. The causes of abortion are many and sometimes no cause can be established. Induced abortion may be criminal or therapeutic. This can be achieved by various means which are dangerous. Therapeutic abortion is artificial termination of pregnancy in the interest of the mother s life of health. On the other hand, family planning refers to practices consciously adopted by a family to determine the number of child spacing and pregnancies in the interest of the welfare and well being of the members of the family. The methods of Family Planning are stated in Family Planning policy which include Barrier methods, Intrauterine contraceptives devices (IUCDs) and Hormonal contraceptives. However, of late it has been revealed that some women have been conducting abortion to terminate an unwanted pregnancy as a method to achieve child spacing in Family Planning. Although the government has taken initiative efforts to prohibit abortion as a method of family planning in Tanzania, there is no machinery to investigate, control and prosecute the offenders. Therefore, there is a lot of room for the government to improve this law and ensure greater and more effective prohibition of abortion as a method of child spacing in Family Planning.

Although the aim of the prisons Act 1968 was to reform or rehabilitate offenders, death penalty, excessive punishment and corporal punishment have defeated reformation or rehabilitation of offenders in Tanzania The author argues that these punishments are too excessive and makes no measurable contribution towards acceptable reformation goals. Therefore, the author argues that the government of United Republic of Tanzania should review the current legislation in order to improve the minimum sentences Acts and give room for reformation or rehabilitation practices. Other laws and regulations which tend to defeat the very spirit of reformation of offenders in Tanzania should also be reviewed and improved in order to accommodate the rehabilitation process for offenders. The author has used various mathodologies which include library research, discussion, observation, field visits and seminar reports. However, the most important part of this, study has been derived from the author s experience and workshop reports. [ Full text ] Empowering communities to manage natural resources: where does the new power lie? a case study of Duru-Haitemba, Babati, Tanzania Proceedings of the first University wide scientific conference,5th -7th April, 2000 Kajembe, G.C Monela, G.C / Sokoine University of Agriculture Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation , 2000 Abstract : Recent approaches to community based natural resource management appear diverse as their varied implementing agencies and natural resource settings; yet they rest on a set of common assumptions about community, natural resources and the relationship between them. This paper focuses on power relations between actors and how these set the framework for resource management in Duru Haitemba. As one of the few remaining tracts of miombo woodlands, Duru Haitemba woodlands had been targeted for gazettement. However the exercise faced local discontent . The discontent has its origin in the generalised narrative . Before the coming of colonial powers the community lived in balanced harmony with nature. But when this harmony was disrupted, it led to disequilibria and hence degradation. A range of factors may be called to account, including: technological change; the breakdown of traditional authority; social change; urban aspirations and the intrusion of inappropriate state policies. What is required is to bring community and environment back into harmony. This requires either the discovery and rebuilding of traditional collective resource management institutions or their replacement by new ones. At the local level there are two factions competing for power: the elites and the traditionalists. The primary concern of traditionalists is ritual . Elites tend to hijack community based processes and forcefully occupying the political space opened by decentralization. Besides of the power struggles at the micro level another challenge is on the part of the government leadership at the macro level. Government officials usually have very mixed feelings about community actions. Increasingly though, these officials have come to realize that community action can substitute for the expensive need to put government officials into the field. The paper points out the fact that, community-based natural resource management seems plausible way to cut down public costs of managing resources. However, it remains an arena of power struggle between three actors: Local Communities, Field Agents and Supervisors. This triangle of relationships constitutes the social arena marking out the actual locale of community based natural resource management in Duru Haitemba.

The author has used various methodologies which include library research, seminar reports, discussion and observations.

Dwindling of wildlife resources has been linked to human actions through overexploitation, habitat destruction, pollution and introduction of non-native species. On the other hand, local people look at wildlife as a liability to them. This view is provoked by a bitter experience they have had due to costs inflicted by wildlife conservation. Such costs include; loss of access to legitimate and traditional rights, damage to crops and other properties, livestock depredation, and risk posed to people s lives through disease transmission and attacks by wild animals. However, besides these conflicts, it is indisputable that wildlife can contribute significantly to the economy of the country and the welfare of the local communities, who, de facto are the ones bearing the costs of conservation. The contribution of wildlife resources to development of local communities will change the popular notion that has made people label wildlife as a liability. Research and extension are meaningful tools to this end. This paper reviews the major human-wildlife issues in Tanzania. It further recommends that research and extension be used as effective tools in resolving the prevailing human-wildlife conflicts with a view of lobbying for social acceptability and making wildlife an economic viable activity to local communities.

The standard of care required by the law of torts is not that of the most skilful man, but that of a person reasonably skilled in legal profession. On the other hand, the standard is higher than that of an ordinary person. Although, there is few Tanzanian decisions on the question of professional negligence, common law and East African cases show vividly the standard of care and skill which can be demanded from an Advocate in Tanzania. The author argues that the standard of care and skill which can be demanded from an Advocate in Tanzania is similar to that of a Solicitor in England. Therefore, in order to maintain an action for negligence an advocate as a professional adviser for the client, the Advocate must be guilty of some misconduct or gross negligence.
