Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the ongoing debate on governance, accountability, transparency and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the mining sector of a developing country context. It examines the reporting practices of the two largest transnational gold-mining companies in Tanzania in order to draw attention to the role played by local government regulations and advocacy and campaigning by nationally organised non-governmental organisations (NGOs) with respect to promoting corporate social reporting practices. Design/methodology/approach – The paper takes a political economy perspective to consider the serious implications of the neo-liberal ideologies of the global capitalist economy, as manifested in Tanzania’s regulatory framework and in NGO activism, for the corporate disclosure, accountability and responsibility of transnational companies (TNCs). A qualitative field case study methodology is adopted to locate the largely unfamiliar issues of CSR in the Tanzanian mining sector within a more familiar literature on social accounting. Data for the case study were obtained from interviews and from analysis of documents such as annual reports, social responsibility reports, newspapers, NGO reports and other publicly available documents. Findings – Analysis of interviews, press clips and NGO reports draws attention to social and environmental problems in the Tanzanian mining sector, which are arguably linked to the manifestation of the broader crisis of neo-liberal agendas. While these issues have serious impacts on local populations in the mining areas, they often remain invisible in mining companies’ social disclosures. Increasing evidence of social and environmental ills raises serious questions about the effectiveness of the regulatory frameworks, as well as the roles played by NGOs and other pressure groups in Tanzania. Practical implications – By empowering local NGOs through educational, capacity building, technological and other support, NGOs’ advocacy, campaigning and networking with other civil society groups can play a pivotal role in encouraging corporations, especially TNCs, to adopt more socially and environmentally responsible business practices and to adhere to international and local standards, which in turn may help to improve the lives of many poor people living in developing countries in general, and Tanzania in particular. Originality/value – This paper contributes insights from gold-mining activities in Tanzania to the existing literature on CSR in the mining sector. It also contributes to political economy theory by locating CSR reporting within the socio-political and regulatory context in which mining operations take place in Tanzania. It is argued that, for CSR reporting to be effective, robust regulations and enforcement and stronger political pressure must be put in place.

Abstract:
This paper sets out to examine the neglected research area of corporate social responsibility (CSR) of the Mining Companies in Tanzania, and was guided by the following specific objectives: 1) to examine tax payment compliance of the mining companies in Tanzania; 2) to explore the extent to which mining companies donate local communities services in Tanzania; 3) to investigate the compliance of environment management Act of 2015; 4) to explore the challenges facing Tanzania in enforcing CSR of the mining companies. A case study design was used and the methods of data collection were interviews and documentary reviews. 74 respondents were selected by the author through purposive sampling. The findings revealed that there is poor practice of CSR due to none compliance of the mining companies on paying tax, environmental pollution in Tighthe river in north Mara, inadequate compensations to the relocated local communities in Tanzania as well as low contribution of mining companies to the National economy that have turned the Country into resource curse. Also, it was noted that some challenges such as weak legal enforcement and lack of government stake in the mining companies resulting into myth of mining companies’ social responsibility in Tanzania. It is therefore concluded that the government should increase its stake in Mining Companies as it is in Botswana and also establish comprehensive legal and regulatory framework for effective and efficient CSR in Mining sector in Tanzania.

Abstract:
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is important and strategic businesses practice which is not only beneficial to the community, corporate shareholders and other stakeholders but also to corporate sustainability. Corporate Social Responsibility in the mining sector calls for an inclusion of social and environmental issues while pursuing economic prosperity of that particular country. For a country endowed with minerals like Tanzania, stringent regulations are needed. Incompetence of the managerial practice to implement CSR in their on-going operations, international capital and global companies have been identified as major causes for environmental pollution and growing environmental activism. There is a wide criticism among stakeholders in the sector demanding to develop plans and establish a clear strategy so as to reverse the current practices where CSR is simply being applied as a branding and marketing strategy by these companies. The literature review especially on the mining sector hardly revealed any impressive implementation and compliance requirements for CSR, particularly from environmental perspective for the best of national interests. Therefore this study examines the challenges in the practices for CSR from the environmental perspective in the mining sector in Tanzania. The methodology used in the study is meta-analysis in which various studies on CSR implementation have been reviewed. The findings on the ground indicate that there are serious challenges to comply with CSR in protecting the environment. Conclusions drawn have relevance for the real life systems and academia, particularly on integrating responsible leadership and ethical thinking in business curricular

Abstract:
AbstractWhere joint forest management has been introduced into Tanzania, ‘volunteer’ patrollers take responsibility for enforcing restrictions over the harvesting of forest resources, often receiving as an incentive a share of the collected fine revenue. Using an optimal enforcement model, we explore how that share, and whether villagers have alternative sources of forest products, determines the effort patrollers put into enforcement and whether they choose to take a bribe rather than honestly reporting the illegal collection of forest resources. Without funds for paying and monitoring patrollers, policy makers face tradeoffs over illegal extraction, forest protection and revenue generation through fine collection.

Abstract:
Interventions tackling zoonoses require an understanding of healthcare patterns related to both human and animal hosts. The control of dog-mediated rabies is a good example. Despite the availability of effective control measures, 59,000 people die of rabies every year worldwide. In Tanzania, children are most at risk, contributing ~40% of deaths. Mass dog vaccination can break the transmission cycle, but reaching the recommended 70% coverage is challenging where vaccination depends on willingness to vaccinate dogs. Awareness campaigns in communities often target children, but do not consider other key individuals in the prevention chain. Understanding factors related to dog ownership and household-level responsibility for dog vaccination and child health is critical to the design of vaccination strategies. We investigated who makes household decisions about dogs and on health care for children in rural Tanzania. In the Kilosa district, in-depth interviews with 10 key informants were conducted to inform analysis of data from a household survey of 799 households and a survey on Knowledge Attitudes and Practices of 417 households. The in-depth interviews were analysed using framework analysis. Descriptive analysis showed responsibilities for household decisions on dogs’ and children’s health. Multivariate analysis determined factors associated with the probability of dogs being owned and the number of dogs owned, as well as factors associated with the responsibility for child health. Dog ownership varied considerably between villages and even households. The number of dogs per household was associated with the size of a household and the presence of livestock. Children are not directly involved in the decision to vaccinate a dog, which is largely made by the father, while responsibility for seeking health care if a child is bitten lies with the mother. These novel results are relevant for the design and implementation of rabies interventions. Specifically, awareness campaigns should focus on decision-makers in households to improve rabies prevention practices and on the understanding of processes critical to the control of zoonoses more broadly.

Abstract:
This study addressed the influence of delegation of responsibility in participative leadership style on improving the quality of education in public secondary schools in Arusha region, Tanzania. The study was informed by Likert’ participative system theory. Correlation survey design was adopted to establish the influence of delegation of responsibilities on improving the quality of education. To this end two hundred and nineteen (219) respondents from 18 public secondary schools were selected based on stratified and random sampling techniques from three (03) district councils in Arusha region. The study involved three (03) district education officers, eighteen (18) heads of schools, eighteen (18) academic masters/mistresses, and one hundred and eighty, and (180) teachers. In this study data was collected by using multiple instruments such as questionnaires for teachers and academic masters/mistresses, interview schedule for district education officers and headmasters/mistresses, and document analysis schedule. Cronbach alpha was used to test reliability, while content validity was used to test validity. Data was analyzed using both descriptive statistics by frequency, mean scores, standard deviation; and inferential statistics by the use of Chi-square tests technique. The study findings revealed that delegation of responsibility fosters shared leadership responsibility between head of schools and experienced teachers, as well as develops accountability and commitment among the teaching staff. The study concluded that the delegated teachers in different responsibilities are not given decision making powers. It was also concluded that head of schools delegates responsibility to some of the teachers especially the experienced ones than the new teachers. Based on the research findings and conclusions, the study recommended the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology to develop a clear policy and increase efforts in training and retraining headmasters/mistresses on the proper delegation of responsibility for improving the quality of education in public secondary schools.

Abstract:
This paper describes a unique service-learning based environmental and humanitarian program for youth, The Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program (R&S). R&S aims to foster learning, personal growth and civic engagement among youth members through service activities and environmental education. Despite its promise as a youth development program and its rapid expansion into 100 countries, little is known about R&S’s impact on youth development. In this study, we explore R&S programs in China and Tanzania, two countries that are maximally different from the U.S. in important cultural and contextual factors. Through qualitative and quantitative methods we describe the programs, their practices, and perceptions of their impact on youths’ personal and social development (cognitive and social competence, leadership, self-efficacy, citizenship and social responsibility). Additionally, we highlight the importance of sociocultural and ecological factors when developing and evaluating youth programs.

Abstract:
Education has never been free in human history. There are various costs associated with its access and management. In some countries, governments have waived or abolished school fees, yet families take care of indirect or other supportive school requirements. Although the government of Tanzania abolished fees from primary to Secondary education in 2016, parents have been paying school fees at advanced secondary education. As a result, students from disadvantaged communities have been facing a great challenge in attaining advanced secondary education. Hence, in January 2018, Dr. Msuya Scholarship Award was founded to support disadvantaged students. This study used the mixed research approach to collect data. A total sample of 91 participants was used including 64 beneficiaries, 11 heads of secondary schools, 15 parents and 1 scholarship coordinator from Dr. Msuya Foundation. The findings indicated that the scholarship successfully supported 111 students who were able to complete their advanced secondary education. Out of those, 93 passed and joined various higher learning institutions for further learning. The scholarship raised community awareness on undertaking collective responsibility in financing education. It promoted the spirit of unity and charity. The study recommends collaborative approaches to finance education through mobilized community resources.

Abstract:
Water shortages are widely prevalent in developing countries, affecting lives of people including schoolchildren, who miss classes while fetching water for daily use. A typical case was that of Mnyundo Primary School in Tanzania, East Africa. A rainwater harvesting (RWH) system was then constructed because of easy adaptability of the technology. The purpose of this study is sustainability evaluation. The evaluation considered construction details, level of water supply service, potential for sustainability and replication. Coarse screen, first flush tank, and sedimentation tank were included for maintaining drinkable water quality through particle load reduction. The water level gauge incorporated enables easy monitoring of water usage, while the provided training and operational manual are a practical guide on system management for the users. Local labor, material and techniques used, are recommended for capacity building, sense of ownership, and cost reduction. Companies’ involvement is encouraged by providing financial support to the schools as their corporate social responsibility. RWH is thus suggested as a sustainable alternative for drinking water supply.

Abstract:
For decades, natural resources and environmental management was approached as needing scientific and technical expertise, as well as the ability to identify different societal needs and aspirations. Government often was viewed as the dominant decision-maker. Today, it is increasingly recognized that governance is another key element. Here, attention is given to differentiating between governance and government, and to opportunities for different types of governance. With growing recognition of the value of learning from experience, consideration turns to adaptive environmental management. Consideration next is directed to co-management, as an approach to allocate more responsibility and authority to local stakeholders. Two case studies, national parks in England and a mangrove preserve in Tanzania, provide insight into experience with adaptive management and co-management. In his guest statement, Nigel Watson reviews governance arrangements regarding water quality for Loweswater in the Lake District of England.
