1. 1. Building a coherent hydro-climatic modelling framework for the data limited Kilombero Valley of Tanzania

   Författare :Alexander Koutsouris; Steve W. Lyon; Jan Seibert; Mekonnen Gebremichael; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrology; Precipitation; Recession analysis; End - member mixing analysis; EMMA; GLUE; HBV; down scaling; Quantile mapping; CFSR; CMORPH; CRU; GPCC; ERA - i; MERRA; TRMM; UDEL; Satellite; Reanalysis; Kilombero; Tanzania; Eastern Africa; Africa; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis explores key aspects for synthesizing data across spatiotemporal scales relevant for water resources management in an Eastern Africa context. Specifically, the potential of large scale global precipitation datasets (GPDs) in data limited regions to overcome spatial and temporal data gaps is considered. LÄS MER

3. 2. Modelling water resources despite data limitations in Tanzania’s Kilombero Valley

   Författare :William Senkondo; Steve W. Lyon; Chong-Yu Xu; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrological modelling; Recession analysis; Remote sensing; Water resources; Evapotranspiration; Transmissivity; SWAT model; Kilombero Valley; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : Water is a vital resource for survival on the Earth. Sustainable management of water resources is therefore required for the wellbeing of present and future generations. A cornerstone of water resources management is scientific guidance supported by relevant data (in terms of quantity and quality). LÄS MER

4. 3. Accumulation from Below : Smallholders and public irrigation investments in Kilombero Valley, Tanzania

   Författare :Victor Mbande; Lowe Börjeson; Johan Berg; Liwenga Liwenga; Klara Fischer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Accumulation; social differentiation; wealth ranking; irrigation; smallholders; agriculture transformation; land use change; rice boom; progressive farmers; development; geografi med kulturgeografisk inriktning; Geography with Emphasis on Human Geography;

   Sammanfattning : Smallholders in Tanzania and elsewhere in Africa are increasingly differentiated. This thesis contributes to the empirical and conceptual understanding of the differentiation processes in irrigation by following the internal dynamics among smallholders linked to public investments in improving smallholder initiated small scale irrigation schemes in Kilombero district, Tanzania.

5. 4. Agricultural expansion impacts on wetland ecosystem services from Kilombero Valley, Tanzania

   Författare :Edmond Alavaisha; Regina Lindborg; Steve Lyon; Jennie Barron; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecosystem services; land use change; management practices; fertilization; irrigation; water quality; and smallholder; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : Land use change has major impact on the world’s wetland ecosystems and biodiversity. The motivation behind this change has been to increase agricultural production, often resulting in negative effects on water quality and soil fertility. LÄS MER

7. 5. Improving Health-seeking Behavior and Care among Sexual Violence Survivors in Rural Tanzania

   Författare :Muzdalifat Abeid; Pia Axemo; Astrid Blystad; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :healthcare worker; community; sexual violence; rape; intervention; quasi-experimental; qualitative; rural; Tanzania; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to assess the effects of providing community education and training to healthcare workers to improve community response, healthcare and support for rape survivors in the Kilombero district of Tanzania. The overall design of the project was to begin with an exploratory study (Paper I) to establish the community’s perceptions towards sexual violence and their perceived recommendations to address this issue.
