It has been running successful development programmes which are aimed at serving all people in Mara region to improve their living standards therefore contributing towards alleviation of national poverty. The development programmes of the diocese target all people without discrimination in terms of religion, tribe, race, age, gender and political ideology. These programmes are situated in different locations of the region ideally with an intention to reach all the people even those in very remote areas. The approach used to reach many people is holistic in nature, meaning both spiritual and physical aspects are simultaneously dealt with. This approach goes in line with the diocesan vision of transforming the people’s lives through the power of the gospel. To accomplish the vision, the church has a mission of moving with the Holy Spirit in service and fruitfulness</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Integrated community Development programme (ICDP) as one of development programmes is targeting to serve communities in Mara lowland areas. The lowlands cover three districts of Tarime, Rorya, Musoma Rural and Bunda. The zone experiences harsh climatic weather. It has a monomodal rainfall pattern hence one cropping season. The lowlands have constantly been frequented with drought conditions which cause famine and a threat to food security. ICDP through the qualified staff has been implementing development projects at the grassroots level successfully.ICDP has been gained good reputation to both the community and donors in development work in the areas of education,health,environment protection and agriculture. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">To implement the programme activities ICDP is currently funded by Terres des Hommes and Dorcas Aid International.All are Dutch based organisations.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">By:Dr.Theophil Kayombo</span></div>Integrated Community Development Programmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07122067837841775582noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79255238795712172.post-83559033613479105462010-12-13T00:16:00.000-08:002010-12-13T01:30:01.643-08:00VISION AND MISSION OF ANGLICAN CHURCH-DIOCESE OF MARA<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><img src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/video_object.png" style="background-color: #b2b2b2; " class="BLOGGER-object-element tr_noresize tr_placeholder" id="ieooui" data-original-id="ieooui" /> <style>

</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="circle"><li class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="DE">Reasons for low dipping response as follows</span></b><span lang="DE">:</span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="DE">1. Low involvement of the community</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">Livestock keepers responded that, there was low involvement of the community in the issues concerning with the cattle dips. Example, there were no time to time meeting to discuss about dipping. Cattle dips is not critical agenda during the circulars of the villages’ council. Due to the lack of special agenda for the cattle dips, the bylaws of the livestock are not well known at the level of Livestock keepers, councilors and to the ward and village executive officers.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="DE">2. Poor mixing of the acaricide</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">The study team revealed that, the procedures for acaricide mixing were not good at all, in many cattle dips the acaricide mixing exercise was done by the group members or the committee members who are illiterate; as results the acaricide are not able to kill the ticks. Few cattle dips like Rubanda (Serengeti) and Matongo(Tarime) ,Community animal health workers(CAHWs) have been appointed to mix acaricide.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="DE">3 . Uncertainity of dips operation sustainability</span></b><span lang="DE"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">Many Livestock keepers had big doubt on dipping due to uncertainity of the cattle dip sustainability; since many cattle dips seem to operate for the short period of time and therefore the cattle loose the natural immunity after being out of dipping services causing tick born disease outbreak.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="DE">4. Limited dipping timetable</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">Some of the committees and groups have poor dipping timetables. These time tables do not meet the need of the livestock keepers. For example Kyankoma dip(Musoma) , the need for dipping is very high but in the dipping days the attention/priority is given for the group members who also own big size herd. During the dipping day, some of the livestock keepers took their cattle to dip at 4:00 AM and they get the dipping service at 12:00 noon and therefore, they spend long time on this exercise and wast their time for attending other development activities. This situation discourages livestock keepers to continue with dipping.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>5. Lack of passable ways for livestock </b></div><div class="MsoNormal">In some of the areas there are no passable ways for the livestock to the dips due to the presence of farms and settlements. Thus, this led to many difficulties to the livestock keepers to take their livestock to the dips; and some try to take them via roads which cause roads destruction and accidents. For example the Mgango(Musoma) , Nyanduga (Rorya) and Kowak(Rorya).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>6. Corruption/Misuse of fund</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Some of dips leaders have been involved themselves in the corruption and misuse of fund as the result; they failed to buy the acaricide for the cattle dipping. For example the group which managed Bitaraguru dip (Bunda) was stop due to mismanagement of funds. Cattle dips of Robanda (Serengeti) and Biatika (Musoma) are no longer in operation for the same reasons.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>7. Lack of affirmative action from the district councils</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">The team found that, there were no constant support or/ follow ups from the district council on the dipping matters. The district leaders have left all responsibilities in hands of the committee and the groups as the result, these committee/groups have no access to technical advices from the district councils’ experts.For example many dips have been constructed/ repaired by the community and DASIP then handed over to the groups/committees with expectation that district councils will continue to give technical support to dip users.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>8. Lack of awareness and enforcement of Veterinary Act and bylaws</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">The team investigated that, there was no bylaws and Veterinary Act at all levels. Extension officers, ward and village executive officers failed to present the copies of these bylaws and general Act. The team expected that, the availability/accessibility of bylaws copies would not be the issues as these are prepared by the cattle dips users themselves.Veterinary Act of Animal Disease is not enforced as the result livestock keepers do not abid with it.</div><div class="MsoNormal"> <b>RECOMMENDATIONS</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">The followings are the recommendations based on opinions from different stakeholders for cattle dipping revival:</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>1.Close supervision of district councils to the committee/groups</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Veterinary experts/professionals should work hand to hand with the committee/groups for technical support whenever required. This will increase the efficiency among the cattle dips managers. Cattle dips agenda should be given a priority at all levels from the village, wards to the district. The district councils should do at their best to improve dipping status of dips in good condition rather than investing on new cattle dips.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>2. Enforcement of Animal Disease Control Act and bylaws</b>.</div><div class="MsoNormal">The district councils should educate the livestock keepers on the importance of dipping and where possible enforce the law for those who are not abiding with it.</div><div class="MsoNormal">3. Reviewing the cattle dips Policy</div><div class="MsoNormal">There is a great need for the review of the Privatization Policy; in order that some of the services to be provided by the Government. The management of the cattle dips should done/facilitated by the Government as it used to be before. Livestock tax and duties should be re-introduced for buying acaricide. The livestock keepers found it difficult to pay money whenever they take their livestock to the dipping.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>4. Training cattle dips committees,groups and attendants</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">The groups/committees are not well prepared to manage cattle dips. For example they have no entrepreneurship skills, therefore; they should be trained on it in order to make them capable to run the cattle dips in both ways as service and business oriented. The rates on the dipping cost should be participatory and discussed by all livestock keepers; this will help to clear the doubts generated among the livestock keepers that the groups/committees get a big profit due to the subsidized acaricide.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>5. Acaricide testing</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Cattle dips attendants do fail to know the strength of the acaricide in the cattle dip. The addition of acaricide is only determined by number of cattle dipped. Additional to that there is a need to have the laboratory for testing the quality of acaricide in the cattle dips</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>6. Employing highly qualified and experienced contractors</b>.</div><div class="MsoNormal">The district councils has to make sure that, do employ the qualified and experienced contractors for dip construction or repair .The monitoring of construction should be done at every stage involving also external personnel. </div><div class="MsoNormal">Environmental factor should be taken before construction of dips to avoid contamination/pollution of acaricide to water sources for animal uses.<br />
