Population: 33 million Language: Swahili, English, tribal languages Peoples: 160 indigenous ethnic groups; widespread use of Swahili has lessened tribal divisions Predominant Religion: Religious freedom for worship and witness. Christians 51% (includes Roman Catholics), Muslims 35%, Traditional religions 13.2% Government: Multi-party democracy Economy: Agricultural subsistence economy Capital: Dar-es-Salaam 3 million, Dodoma (Capitol Designate) BRIEF HISTORY OF TANZANIA Politics – Tanganyika gained independence from Britain in 1961; Zanzibar in 1963. The two countries united as a one-party federal socialist republic in 1964, though Zanzibar has retained a considerable degree of autonomy. The one-party system ended in 1992 and a multi-party democracy was instituted. For 35 years Tanzania has been an ‘island of peace’ in a troubled region. There are recurring differences between the mainland and Zanzibar which threaten the bonds between them. Economy – Agricultural subsistence economy yet with much potential for development. The disastrous experimentation with socialism after independence led to nationalization of many businesses and collectivization of rural communities. The results were a bloated bureaucracy, deterioration of industry and the infrastructure, a serious reduction in living standards and drying up of international investment. During the 1990’s the economy opened up resulting in steady improvement, but the reliance on foreign aid hampers entrepreneurial initiative.

Their often marginalised status and ethnolinguistic diversity has made it hard to articulate their case for land rights outside Australia and North America. Their preferred subsistence strategy, hunting, is often in direct conflict with conservation philosophies and protected areas often fall within their traditional hunting areas. This paper reviews their present situation and discusses some of the proposed strategies for incorporating them into more conventional natural resource management strategies.

Number 43, June 1999 The material that follows has been provided by the Overseas Development Institute HUNTER-GATHERERS, CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT: FROM PREJUDICE TO POLICY REFORM Roger Blench ‘But lo! men have become the tools of their tools. The man who independently plucked the fruits when he was hungry is become a farmer; and he who stood under a tree for shelter, a housekeeper. We now no longer camp as for a night, but have settled down on earth and forgotten heaven.’ Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1847 Communities of present-day or former hunter-gatherers live in scattered communities across the world, although their precise numbers and status are very uncertain. Their often marginalised status and ethnolinguistic diversity has made it hard to articulate their case for land rights outside Australia and North America. Their preferred subsistence strategy, hunting, is often in direct conflict with conservation philosophies and protected areas often fall within their traditional hunting areas. This paper reviews their present situation and discusses some of the proposed strategies for incorporating them into more conventional natural resource management strategies. Policy conclusions Hunter-gatherer or foraging peoples dominated much of the world until recently, but the last few centuries have seen them marginalised almost everywhere. The rapid spread of both agriculture and livestock production has seen their traditional lands alienated and their main sources of subsistence decimated. However, just as there is an increasing realisation that pastoral peoples are efficient users of marginal environments and need to be protected from encroachment by outside interests, it is becoming apparent that foragers need similar assistance.

A Word from Willie Crew - August 2003 Thank you for your commitment to participate with World Mission Centre in God's agenda to bring the Gospel to bear on all nations. The following describes the advances made in Tanzania, a country identified in '93 - '95 with ten least unreached people groups: PROJECT FOCUS' OBJECTIVES At GCOWE 97, Pretoria, South Africa, under the sponsorship of World Mission Centre (WMC), church leaders challenged WMC to develop a strategy to plant churches in the people groups listed in "The 100 Least Reached People Groups of Southern Africa–It Can Be Done." These groups were identified by WMC's research conducted '93-'95. As a result, Project Focus was launched with the objective to plant at least one church in each people group by 31 December 2000 and multiple churches by 2005 –at least 1 church for every 3,000 people. Other objectives were to train national missionaries and "to provoke, enthuse, inspire and release" national churches in these Southern African countries to assume the responsibility to plant these churches. PROJECT FOCUS IN TANZANIA In July/August, I had the joy of leading a WMC team to Tanzania (Lydia accompanied me) where Project Focus, under the oversight of WMC's representative, a retired Anglican minister, is in full operation reaching the ten least reached people groups in that country. WMC's specific objectives were to check on the progress of Project Focus (How many churches have been planted since the inception of the strategy? Where should special effort be focused to reach people with the Gospel?), provide in-service training touching on some of the critical issues faced in church planting in the context of non-biblical religious concepts, and to encourage and challenge church leaders to press on with church planting and even go beyond their own borders.

CDS News 1997:2 Contents: The TV series "En reise i vannets historie" "NGOs in Aid" Conference arranged in Bergen Delegation from Birzeit University, Palestine Funds for further contact with Birzeit University ... Seminars held at CDS since March 1997 The TV series En reise i vannets historie (Man and Water) - a major success! The four-part TV series about man and the necessity, impact and importance of freshwater resources brings the viewer, through spectacular photography, to such diverse areas of the world as the great floods of China, the holy Ganges, the drylands of Ethiopia, the raincoast of Norway, the canals of the Himalayas and the artificial rivers of the USA. Thematically the series ranges from a look into the fight for everyday fresh water on a local and global scale, to the taming of the powerful inherent forces of floods, rivers and water falls and the societal, ritual and religious importance of fresh water. The series, a large-scale project for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) and the CDS, has received very positive critical acclaim, and the critic for Bergens Tidende calls the series "grand and very impressive". Verdens Gang´s critic calls Terje Tvedt here NGOs in Aid" Conference arranged in Bergen The starting point for the conference was the need to exploit current findings and to assess in a critical way the role and impact of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and to develop typologies for studying the NGO channel in development aid. The conference did not wish to restrict its scope and perspective to the NGOs working in developing countries, but also bring in insights and concepts developed in the course of research on non-profit organisations and voluntary organisations in Western welfare societies. This was regarded as important, both in order to get a clearer idea about general and unique characteristics of NGOs in various countries at different times, and because historical "lessons" from Western societies have authorised NGO-politics in the past.

(Iraq)Iraq headlines today’s news as 26 U-S soldiers have been killed since President Bush declared major combat over in May. However, the violence is stopping evangelistic work in the country. Voice of the Martyrs'[1] Gary Lane says evangelicals are asking for assistance. "They told me that now is the time for Christians in America to support them. They expect in two years that they will have a government elected. It will probably be either Shiite or Sunni or some combination or some Muslim government. And, they expect that things will be clamping down on them again. But, right now, they’re free." Lane says Iraqi Christians are successful in evangelism. He says your gift for “Action Packs” could help further. "We ask people to send us $5 and we’ll send them a large vacuum-sealed bag. And, in it you can put items like shirts, socks, underwear. We launched the program about a week ago in Iraq. With each action pack we’ll hand out Gospel literature."

India: Oppression against Christians isn't easing in India. That's the message from Mission Evangelism's Adrian Jones who just returned from preaching in the state of Kerala where his life was threatened. "A gang of men had sworn to kidnap me and kill me. So, when I got to the crusade site, it was surrounded by police and soldiers with machine guns. It was sort of a hair-raising time for the team." Jones says religious freedom in India may be changing. "The state of Kerala is getting ready to pass a no conversion law. As I understand it, if you go in there on a tourist visa they won't allow you to come in and preach at all. You can go in on a preaching visa if they will give that to you, but they're saying they won't give that to you either. So, the door is closing." 67-thousand people heard the Gospel nearly two-thousand people made professions of faith."

Print Print Preview Tanzania Article View On the File menu, click Print to print the information. Tanzania III. Population More than 90 per cent of the population of Tanzania consists of indigenous African groups, the majority of whom speak Bantu languages; there are also Nilotic groups, such as the Maasai. The largest of the 120 ethnic groups are the Sukuma and the Nyamwezi. Other major ethnic groups include the Haya, the Ngonde, the Chagga, the Gogo, the Ha, the Hehe, the Nyakyusa, the Nyika, the Ngoni, and the Yao. The population also includes people of Indian, Pakistani, and Goan origin, who make up a significant minority in the urban areas, and small Arab and European communities. Most of the people live in rural areas. A. Population Characteristics Tanzania has a population (2005 estimate) of 36,766,356, of whom 663,000 lived on Zanzibar, giving an average population density of about 42 people per sq km (107 per sq mi). However, about two thirds of the population lives in the one third of the country that lies north of the central railway, where soils are most fertile. Under the form of Africa socialism introduced by Julius Nyerere, the government began to establish rural cooperative villages ( ujamaa villages) in the 1970s as a means of countering development problems associated with the traditional scattered nature of settlement. By 1980 about 90 per cent of the rural population was living in registered villages, although only a small proportion of these were true
