This
collection makes a significant contribution to the body
of literature on critical feminism and radical activism
in Tanzania. Its publication is significant because,
more often than not, activists are too busy in the process
of doing to take time off to reflect on what it is they
are engaged in, to document the process so as to share
with others. This book is generated from people who
are themselves engaged in activism. Putting it together
is a deliberate move to allow them space to reflect
and make a critique of their own engagement with the
aim of generating organic theory from their practice.

 Against
Neo Liberalism:
Gender Democracy & Development Editors:
Chachage S.L. Chachage and Marjorie Mbilinyi
Available
from TGNP for Tsh 12,000 ($14 plus shipping and handling)
For
those who have shared the collective experience of oppression,
exclusion and discrimination simply because of their
sex, class, colour or caste; and a history of imperial
domination-colonial, neo-colonial and what is currently
labeled globalisation, democracy means more than a multiparty
political system and holding regular elections. For
these people, global protests (such as those which took
place in Seattle, Davos, Doha and elsewhere) indicates
that peoples power is not a dead concept; that an alternative
world is indeed possible through organised struggles
of the oppressed people worldwide.
This
book documents the reflections, debates and struggles
against neo-liberal policies, through the work undertaken
and under the auspices of the Tanzania Gender Networking
Programme (TGNP) between 1993 and 2003. Published as
part of the celebration to mark 10 years of the existence
of the organisation, it provides insightful and thought
provoking reflections on a decade that was thought to
be devoid of citizens' struggles-a lost decade.
The
book puts together a collection of selected papers with
both international and local dimensions. The collection
is divided into four parts: deconstruction of myths
about gender; conceptions of, and development debates
including impacts of SAPs and globalisation; democratic
struggles and struggles over resources; and a synthesis
of the various discussions and debates raised in the
book. |
Gender Profile of Tanzania
Covers the period
between 1999 and 2006, exploring major changes in
policies, programme and laws; and their impact on gender
equity in employment, education, politics, health and
other sectors. Actions taken by government and NGOs to
address unequal gender relations, and to transform
patriarchal relations in Tanzania, are examined as well
as their outcome.

Budgeting with a Gender Focus:
Gender Budget is one
which demonstrates sensitivity of the different needs of
and privileges, rights and obligations which men and
women have in the society. A gender budget will, in
mobilization of resources, recognize the differential
contribution of men and women in production o goods and
services and human labour. The budgeting exercise is
guided by issues of who is doing what, who is
contributing what and how much. Such sensitivity will
minimize the possibility of using the budget and the
budgeting process as a tool to further increase gender
gaps in a given society. The first pre-requisite,
therefore, to the budgeting exercise entails a gender
analysis of the population.

Beyond
Inequalities: Women in Tanzania. 1997.
This book is the Tanzanian part of a series of publications
which profile the status of women in southern Africa and the
initiatives being made to mainstream gender in development
processes in the region. The gender profile of women and men
presents descriptive data as well as an analysis of the policy
framework and actions taken to change the situation and in
some cases to empower women.
Budgeting
with a Gender Focus. 1999. This publication
popularizes in simple language the major findings of the gender
budget study conducted in four key ministries and sectors.
The book begins with an introduction to the conceptual
framework of the Gender Budget Initiative and some key concepts
and aims to bring macro economic policy and planning to a
level understandable by grassroots.
Ulingo
wa Jinsia / Gender Platform Quarterly. Every
quarter, TGNP publishes a newsletter called Ulingo wa
Jinsia. Every NGO, CBO and individual member of
the Gender Lobby is urged to use this space to communicate
their experiences, successes and challenges. TGNP has provided
this space to enhance communication within and about the Network.
It is envisaged that this space will be further used to communicate
with the Network on the current lobbying and advocacy activities.
