Displaying 211 - 218 of 218Pillars of the community: How trained volunteers defend land rights in Tanzania
Training volunteers to help their communities defend their land rights has proved an effective approach for promoting land justice in Tanzania. This report documents how Hakiardhi, a Dar-es-Salaam based research institute working on land governance issues, has established and trained a 600-strong network of male and female ‘Land Rights Monitors’ (LRMs) operating in 300 villages on various aspects of the land law, so they can help people and local governments to exercise and ensure respect for their legal rights in land disputes.
The Impact of Large-Scale Mining on the Livelihoods of Adjacent Communities
This study assessed the contribution of Geita Gold Mine (GGM) to the livelihoods of local communities in Geita District.

A cross-sectional research design was employed, in which qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection were used.

OUR MISSION
Research on Poverty Alleviation

Over time, REPOA’s mandate has expanded beyond alleviating poverty to encompass growth and socio-economic transformation for poverty reduction.
REPOA’s STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 2015-2019
Ujamaa Community Resource Team
Some of East Africa's most traditional pastoralist and hunter-gatherer communities are currently at great risk of loosing their land and resources due to progressive land encroachment and lack of representation in modern Tanzania.
UCRT works to empower marginalised people in the rangelands of northern Tanzania to secure rights to their natural resources and land.
UCRT helps these communities by representing their land rights, advocating on their behalf to local and national government, and securing legal ownership of their traditional lands.
Economic and Social Research Foundation of Tanzania
The Economic and Social Research Foundation was established in 1994 as an independent, not-for-profit institution for research and policy analysis.
The formation of ESRF was based on the assumption that there was need and demand for an improved understanding of policy options and development management issues, and that the capacity for this was lacking in the Tanzania civil service.
ESRF addressed this gap by putting into place qualified Professional Staff, modest resources and a favourable research environment for the analysis and discussion of economic and social policy.
The AU and FAO Voluntary Guidelines
Between 2005 and 2009 the emergence of large-scale acquisitions of land or ‘land grabbing’ for production of food and energy feedstocks, and private forest plantations in developing countries, triggered various responses from global actors.
