W1B-BT1 RE: PERMISSION TO USE THE SICATA CLASSROOM Please refer to your memo dated 21st June, 1993 regarding the above subject. You are hereby permitted to use the SICATA Classroom for the days <-/specifified> in your training programme ie. 7 days in July, 2 days in August and 1 day in September. We shall inform you in advance if we shall need the classroom during the mentioned days. W1B-BT2 Dear Sirs, The writeup is developing well. I have made remarks to solicit reaction where I feel you should be able to produce substantiation otherwise reword to show that you may be persuaded by another slant if more data and information were produced. In some areas I have queried because what I am supposed to castigate is what I am doing. The mid-way position is to state both options and to reflect that the project has presented an alternative approach which if given a chance would enable Tanzania to pursue the development of this sector with a much broader range of options. This is definitely not exhaustive but we ought to work . Yours faithfully, W1B-BT3 Dear Re Apple Mango Seedlings I am writing in response to Dr 's fax of 19th February 1996. We are pleased that Dr can support us in finding the mango seedlings. We respond below to his questions: - The mango trees we are looking for are to be interplanted with other crops; usually annual crops such as maize, beans and groundnuts. We also have other trees including citrus and bananas. All the farmers who will get these seedlings have already planted mangoes. The varieties planted include Tommy Artkins and local varieties (Dodo, Boribo, Mviringo etc). We do not have nurseries, the Tommy Artkins we obtain from the Tanga Region Integrated Project which was funded by GTZ. The local varieties we usually obtain seedlings that have germinated on their own in the fields or in compounds. The objective of growing these apple mangoes is for consumption and selling to local markets with increase volumes , we will be looking for regional and export markets in Europe and Middle East. So far, we are a group of 25 farmers from Mwanga District, who are looking for these seedlings. Our district already has a GTZ forestry project. This project has nurseries which are run by local farmers. It is therefore feasible to have a base on which to <-_built> a capacity to <-/propergate> more mango seedling . If this is done, more farmers will take up the seedlings. There are potentials for grafting the apple mango varieties with local mangoes. What is missing is the <-/know how>. Mwanga District is already <-/propergating> grafted citrus fruits; oranges and tangerines. With guidance, we can transfer this <-_know how> to our district. If it is possible we can send farmers to Kenya to learn this technique. The Tommy Artkins that I am growing are in Dar es Salaam. They were grafted at Tanga. I have also over 700 citrus trees which were all grafted, which I am interplanting with coconuts. I will be more than pleased to show you my farm. I have recently introduced bees to my fruit farm, and they complement each other. I have grown my fruit trees in a natural way. I do not use chemical fertilizers nor chemicals. If the seedlings are readily available, we would take them anytime now because our long rain season is about to start. I hope you will find the above response adequate for your response to Dr. . P.S. We heard of the apple mangoes from farmers in Taveta, which is very close to our district, Mwanga. If the seedlings can be obtained from there we could easily arrange to collect them. Since Mr Toroka contacted you, we have been talking to other farmers who are also very keen to have these varieties. Based on the numbers mentioned, we can take up to 1000 seedlings. Yours sincerely, W1B-BT4 Re: System of CSSC Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to thank you for your Telefax message of 8th August, 1995 regarding the subject matter mentioned above. It would be appreciated if GTZ would facilitate the visit of Dr. to Tanzania with the understanding that the CSSC needs his services. Since Dr. is well aware of what we did and achieved during his first assignment with us, we would like him to go ahead and make plans for his second assignment. If there is anything that he would like us to do in preparation we would very much like to know. We greatly appreciate the initiative of GTZ in this matter. I should like to apologize for the delay of our report due to circumstances beyond our control. I want to assure you that it is ready and, therefore, should be with you in the near future. With best wishes, Yours sincerely, W1B-BT5 RE: ANNUAL WATER ENGINEER'S CONFERENCE (AWEC-16) - 1994 5TH DECEMBER - 10TH DECEMBER 1994 SINGIDA The Water and Sanitation Sector of the Ministry of Water, Energy and Minerals conducts Water Engineer Conference annually in order to deliberate on Sector Policy, Strategies and Implementation Plans.

NEGOTIATIONS - JUNE 1994 The letter with reference of 13th July, 1994 refers . We wish to correct a statement which states that IPI was established in 1989. In fact, IPI was established in 1983 and not in 1989 under order, made under section 21(4) of the University of Dar es Salaam Act, of 1970 and subsequently published on 6th October, 1989 in the Government Notice No. 326. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by that error. W1B-BT7 RE: GERMANY- TANZANIA GOVT. NEGOTIATIONS - JUNE 1994 The letter with Ref. dated 16th June, 1994 on the above subject refers . We have received the said summary. May I draw your attention to para 5.1.6 concerning the current and future status of I.P.I. This Institute as you may be aware, was established in 1989 under order, made under Section 21(4) of the University of Dar es Salaam Act, of 1970 and subsequently published on 6th October, 1989 in Government Notice No.326. According to the agreement and regulations for the establishment of IPI, its aims and objectives are defined as follows:- "The Institute shall be a link between the FoE and Tanzanian industry in order to foster the mutual utilization of knowledge and facilities. The three main objectives are:- (a) Product innovation up to prototype production and subsequent transfer to a suitable industry. (b) Consultancy and services to industry. (c) The Institute will supply curriculum advice to the FoE through its feedback from industry. Close cooperation between the IPI and the FoE is presumed in all the above mentioned aspects but individual technical developments on either side shall not be excluded. A recent valuation report (April 1993 - Feb. 1994) sponsored by GTZ, on the Reorientation of IPI it was revealed that the IPI had had same problem like most of R & Ds in this country because "transfer of local R & D results to industry had not been achieved," at the same , however, the evaluation team identified some encouraging factors and development, leading them to recommend to continue support for the project. The Ministry is in full agreement with this stand, and has no <-/intetion> of <-/disolving> the IPI. Indeed, <-/intergrating> IPI premises and equipment into the Faculty of Engineering would be contrary to the spirit of the order which created the IPI as well as the Ministry's Sector Policy Paper which has identified some of these institutes for promotion into Centres of Basic Research or even Centres of excellence. I tend to believe that our delegation did not have these important data at their disposal, hence the suggestion "to look into the possibilities of <-/intergrating> IPI into the Faculty of engineering. This would not be in the interest of the Mission of the University. W1B-BT8 Dear Mr Thank you for inviting me to the SECAP Steering Committee meeting of 3rd August, 1995. Unfortunately I received the letter on 7/08/1995; sorry I could not attend. Meanwhile, having gone through the minutes of the 63rd Committee-Meeting of 12th April, 1995, some of the issues discussed are of particular concern to this Office; I would like to comment on a few as follows:- THE FUTURE OF LIVESTOCK QUARANTINE STATION: It is true that the R.D.D's Office would not support (financially or otherwise) the running of this station as a Government Service/or project component. However; in case SECAP would like to dispose it, the station should be handed-over to the Lusboto District Council. It will be up to the Council to decide whether to continue running it as part of its livestock development strategy or privatize the station. A copy of the handing-over protocol should be submitted to the Regional Development Director. HANDING-OVER OF VEHICLES: Last year, SECAP under the direction of its Steering Committee handed-over a number of motor-cycles to employees including those outside Government departments; this became an issue of contention between SECAP and this Office. (Ref. our letter of 4th May, 1994). I would like to advise that, disposal of vehicles no longer required by the project should follow procedures as laid down in R.D.D's letter Ref. No: of 1st March, 1995/ GENERAL ISSUES: - Under the project agreement concluded on 3rd March, 1994 between F.R.G. and Tanzania Government, The Regional Development Director, Tanga, is charged with the responsibility of implementing the project on behalf of the recipient government. Surprisingly, for years, The R.D.D. (or representative) has not been a member of the Project Steering Committee. It is therefore logical that the composition of the Steering Committee should be revised. - Since the Original Project concept (agro-silvo-pastoral-concept) was devised in the 1980's with its accompanying implementation strategies (extension services, self-help, community participation, village based entry point, etc) several social, economic and political changes have taken place particularly in terms national policy direction. Having implemented the project for more than 10 years, and taking into consideration the current policy changes; it becomes <-/neccessary> to revisit the project concept and its strategies in their totality, so as to determine an appropriate future direction. Making adjustments in piece-meal may not be ideal. (For example the selling of tree seedlings as a measure of policy on cost-recovery makes it <-/neccessary> to review and reformulate project objectives, target groups, etc). Yours Sincerely, W1B-BT9 RE: RECRUITMENT/EXTENSION OF CONTRACT OF HANDENI INTEGRATED AGROFORESTRY EXPERTS Please refer to your letter Ref.No. dated 27 September, 1995. 2.

W1B-BT10 Dear , RE: REGISTRATION OF MEDIUM DOCTORS SECONDED TO GTZ - PROJECTS AS PROJECT ASSISTANTS ADVISORS ON PUBLIC HEALTH, OR PROJECT COORDINATORS Reference is made to your letter No. of 22nd November 1994 regarding the above subject. I would like to let you know that the task of the Medical Council in this respect is to register and regulate the conduct of Medical Practitioners who have been earmarked to render services as Medical Practitioners to named Medical Institutions in the Country. This is in accordance with the provisions of section 15A of the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Ordinance Cap 409 of the Laws of the land. For this reason if the practitioners in question are NOT at all going to practise the Medical Profession in the Country, in the course of executing their daily activities then they need not be registered. I hope this clarification will guide you accordingly. With regards. 11/1/95 W1B-BT11 RE: SPECIAL PROGRAMME FOR REHABILITATION OF AREAS IN TANZANIA AFFECTED BY THE RWANDAN REFUGEE INFLUX - ENVIRONMENT COMPONENT EDF ACCOUNT NO. Thank you for a copy of your letter addressed to GTZ - Germany, ref No. , dated 4/9/95 concerning the above mentioned topic. We have gone through the letter and the revised document proposal and noted, as you observed, it is true that a complete overview of the project is required in the areas you mentioned before final agreement is made. We all know that we are dealing with an emergency situation and not a normal development Programme. Due to pressure from refugees and the local community the environment is grossly damaged. Without immediate intervention there is a danger of having the problem much pronounced and more difficult to address. We, therefore, believe that GTZ-HQ will respond soon and avoid delayed implementation of this crucial programme. Last but not least we feel that it is important to involve/incorporate the Refugee Affected Areas Rehabilitation Coordination Unit (Prime Minister's Office) in all discussions and implementation of this programme. This will among other things ensure smooth coordination and avoid duplication of assistance extended to the refugees affected areas. Thank you for your cooperation. Yours sincerely, W1B-BT12 Dear Sirs, SPECIAL PROGRAMME FOR REHABILITATION OF AREAS IN TANZANIA AFFECTED BY THE RWANDAN REFUGEE INFLUX - ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENT EDF ACCOUNT NO. We acknowledge receipt of your proposal of 21.07.95 (ref. ) for EU contribution to the above captioned project in a co-financing arrangement with the German Government (BMZ). During discussions of the proposal with your local office in Dar es Salaam on 31.08.95 (/) we have been asked to confirm that the EU contribution is available. We can indeed confirm that The Special Rehabilitation Programme referred to has been allocated an amount of ECU 3,000,000 from the 7th European Development Fund under account no. , of which ECU 800,000 has been earmarked for the Environmental Component. The Financing Agreement for the Programme was signed by the European Commission and the United Republic of Tanzania in March 1995 and disbursement on other components of the Programme have started in June . The Financing Agreement stipulates that implementation of the Environmental Component will take place through GTZ. All the funds are therefore available for start of contractual procedures. Before such procedures can start we need, however, some further information on the total project for co-financing. Your proposal of 21.07.95 does not give a complete overview of the project. In particular the budget is deficient as it only presents details of what the EU should contribute and no <-/deatils> at all are given as to the estimate of the assumed Government contribution of DM 150,000 (page 21). We would at least expect to receive an updated Project Planning Matrix (logical framework) as well as a related, complete and detailed budget with financing plan (BMZ/GTZ,EU, Government of Tanzania). The format used in the Project Appraisal Report of March 1995 (annexes 6 & 7) would be appropriate. As regards your Financial Proposal, we cannot make any final comments until the missing information referred to above has been received. We have two points, however, to make at this stage. Firstly, we will have to investigate internally if it is acceptable and advantageous to include the entire EDF contribution in one service contract. It may be necessary to contract overseas equipment supplies and local operating costs/purchases separately. Secondly, we believe that periodic evaluation shall be contracted separately with an independent consultant. We hope that this information will help you to make further progress in preparation of the project as we would like to see the assistance to the refugee affected areas becoming effective without delay. Yours faithfully, W1B-BT13 Attn: Officer Responsible for IPM and Forestry TENTATIVE PROGRAMME FOR THE IFAD PRE-APPRAISAL MISSION - KAGERA REGION AGRICULTURAL REHABILITATION AND ENVIRONMENT PROJECT Following the evaluation report by FAO-Rome on Refuge Impact areas in Kagera Region in 1995, IFAD - Rome has principally agreed to finance the Agricultural and Environment Sectors. 2.

The following is the schedule of visits which I intend to make from 25th August, 1990. - Sweden - 3 weeks - Amsterdam - 1 week - Brussels - 1 week - W/Germany - 1 week - London - 2 weeks - Nigeria - 1 week I look forward for a favourable assistance from your offices. Yours sincerely, W1B-BT17 Dear Sir/<-/Madame>, RE: CDP I FOLLOW UP You may recall that when were in Sweden last August 1990, each <-/on> of us who attended CDP submitted his/her Plan of Action. All Plans of Action were jointly discussed. Strong and weak areas of each individual Plan of Action were pointed out, and the Managing Director concerned were asked to make necessary adjustments. Your Plan of Action formed some sort of a Social Contract between the trainers and you against which the performance of your company, and consequently the effect of CDP could be evaluated. Evaluation of this becomes very important especially if we take into account that you seriously recommended a second CDP. This is the 5th month since the last session of CDP in Sweden. It is our considered opinion that 5 months is a period long enough to start assessing the impact of CDP. In light of this, I an dispatching my Secretary to deliver on your desk CDP I - FOLLOW UP FORM. Information will not be revealed to any other party without your permission. May I also take this opportunity to remind each one of us that our Shadow Board Meetings should continue as earlier agreed. Minutes of these Shadow Boards Meetings need to be kept by Secretaries.

We also intend to purchase and <-/instal> grain hulling and milling machine to mill grains for the residents of the neighbouring villages which do not have such facilities within a radius of about 25 kms. In future we intend to enter an Agency contract agreements with different firms/companies producing farm inputs such as fertilizers which we will sell to the small holder peasants from the villages to enhance their agricultural production. The project is labour intensive hence it will generate substantial employment opportunities <-_to><+_for> the local residents. We have so far invested T.Shs.8.3m/= in form of fixed assets and various land developments and we expect our total equity contribution to increase to T.Shs18.6m/= which will be 12.2% of the total estimated investment costs of T.Shs.148.9/=.

I am also enclosing the complete proposal by TANGO regarding the participants of the forthcoming NGO Forum and 4th World Conference on Women in Beijing China. We have tried to <-/categense> the people already as we have received and submitted the Registration Forms. We shall appreciate to get from you the number of people you are ready to sponsor. Although the list of names is more than 40, we are requesting funds for 40 participants because about 6 people in the list have already secured funding since 1994. We are now finalising the remaining proposals and we shall send to you within a week from now. We hope you will consider our requests positively. Yours Sincerely, W1B-BT28 Dear Sir, RE: APPLICATION FOR A SPONSORSHIP TO ATTEND A CONFERENCE ON CONSTITUTIONALISM AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM IN A DEMOCRACY. AICC 28TH - 29TH MARCH, 1995 I have been invited to attend the above mentioned conference which is being organised by the Court of Appeal of Tanzania but without sponsorship. The programme indicates interesting topics on Voters' Education Election Laws and Human Rights which as a member of the Legal Aid Committee, Faculty of Law, and as a member of the Board of Legal and Human Rights centre stand to benefit <-/emmensely>. I am kindly presenting a requesting of funding of T.Shs. 200,000/= to enable me attend the Conference. Attached find the estimated costs of this trip. Yours Sincerely, W1B-BT29 RE: REQUEST FOR SUPPORT TO TAKE OVER TANZANIA PUBLISHING HOUSE We have the honour to approach you with a request for loan/grant financing to facilitate a management and employee take over of Tanzania Publishing House Limited (THP). THP is a small size state owned enterprise (SOE) operating in the paper conversion sector. It has a current labour force of 26 people including the management. The government holds 100% of its shares through the Tanzania Karatasi Associated Industries (TKAI), the government holding corporation in the paper sector. THP's mission and objective is the promotion of the indigenous publishing industry through publication of a wide variety of books and reading materials focusing particularly on textbooks, reference and general books. TPH is the leading local publishing house with publishing rights of over 300 titles in both English and Swahili. TPH is also one of the designated publishers for the Ministry of Education and Culture of a number of Primary and Secondary school textbooks. The ongoing implementation of the divestiture of State Owned Enterprises also affects TPH. The company is envisaged as a good candidate for divestiture through a Management and Employee Buy Out (MEBO) scheme by virtue of its small size and the fact that its major productive assets are intangible and are constituted by its employees. The management and employees have prepared and presented a MEBO proposal to the Presidential Parastatal Sector Reform Commission (PSRC). The proposal is concretised by a seven year business plan (1995-2001) which has an appropriate financial analysis and a sensitivity analysis too. (A copy of the proposal is available on request). We are glad to inform you that this MEBO proposal has been accepted by PSRC. The price of the company has also been accepted at TShs. 71 million. Consequently, PSRC has demanded to be furnished with written evidence, before January 31, 1995, of our ability either to pay the intended cash or to borrow the necessary funds as of the target acquisition of 51% (i.e. TShs.36 million) of the shares of the company. The management and employees are eager to contribute some of their meagre benefits to raise a portion of the purchase price. Such a contribution, while amounting to considerable sacrifice on the employees' part, will really only constitute a token sum of the requirement, bearing in mind the prevailing salary structures. It is in this regard that we are now approaching you for your support, through provision of loan or grant financing of the MEBO scheme. The amount being sought is in the range of TShs. 20 million to TShs. 30 million. You may also wish to know that as of present TPH is free from any encumbrances arising out of debt financing. It has, though, a low level of liabilities arising out of normal trade debts such as credit facilities extended by its business associates. We shall be grateful to receive your tentative response with indications of your preliminary feelings on this request. Moreover, we are looking forward to your cooperation with the management and employees of TPH in this scheme. Please feel free to ask for any information deemed necessary to facilitate your decision making. We wish you a prosperous and peaceful 1995. Sincerely, W1B-BT30 Dear Madam/Sir, Re: Fellowship Application Forms For Ms Reference is made to the above captioned heading.

TAHURET is a registered NGO with the aim of human rights education and Justice Protection. Since then we have been using the "Political Platform" in educating our people to understand their rights. Also, the Chairman has, on several <-/occations> been used by one NGO to conduct seminars on democratization. TAHURET has qualified personnel to involve in the democratization process.

Since the conference, the NIGP has become operational, a board of directors has been selected and an Executive Director has been recruited. One of the main partners of programme implementation will be Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). We plan to hold a meeting of key international and local NGOs in late October to discuss areas of common interest and how partnerships could be forged.

This is the newspaper which caters for both rural and urban areas than any other newspaper in Tanzania. Our newsrooms has a serious problem related to lack of typewriters and cameras. At the moment we don't have even a single camera; and we have only one typewriter. Because of serious financial problems, we have failed to get the above tools of the trade which are essential in news production. Kindly bail us out. We will accept any new or used typewriters and cameras. Anxiously looking forward to your positive response, Yours sincerely, Chief Editor W1B-BT38 Dear Sir/Madam, Re: Sponsorship for a working trip With the exception of the pursuit of peace, there is no cause with which the United Nations is more closely identified than the cause of human rights. UN actions in the field of human rights have, throughout the World, saved lives of people, children included, prevented torture, won the release of prisoners, brought about the reappearance of "disappeared" persons, promoted health and literacy and protected the rights of refugees and displaced persons. To strengthen their deep commitment to the cause of human dignity, the world conference on Human Rights will take place in Vienna in June this year (1993) at the invitation of the government of Austria. I have been selected to cover the conference for Business Times and later on use my enrichment of human rights issues which also involve the welfare of children to write more when I am back again. The objectives of the Vienna conference include the <-/reviewal> of progresses made in the filed of human rights since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and to examine the link between development and the employment of economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights. According to the tentative programme for the Vienna conference the issue of human rights and the girl child will also be seriously focused. I have been following UNICEF efforts since years back and this conference in Vienna will enrich my interest in children particularly their welfare and using my enrichment I will write much on my return for the advancement of their welfare. My request to your good office is to sponsor me for my air ticket to and from Vienna, my hotel accommodation and my per diem. Business Times is also working hard to secure a sponsor for my trip as everything is supposed to be settled soonest. While I wait for your positive response, I remain, Yours Sincerely, Senior Reporter Business Times Ltd.

The maximum length of the paper(s) should be 25 double-spaced pages, inclusive of references, bibliography etc. Papers should be word-processed, but the secretariat may accept diskettes thereof instead of hard copies. We shall be very grateful if you would confirm your readiness to submit a paper, or papers, accompanied by abstract(s) thereof by 31st July, 1993. The full text, or diskette, of the paper should be submitted to the undersigned not later than 31st August, 1993. If you write and present a paper, the Forum <-_shall><+_will> finance your transport, boarding and lodging, in addition to paying you a honorarium. Yours faithfully, Forum Coordinator. W1B-BT44 Re: Inaugural working session As Forum Coordinator it would give me great pleasure to have your presence at a three-days inaugural working session of the Tanzania Development Forum scheduled to commence on 20th September, 1993 at Njuweni Hotel Kibaha, Coast Region to discuss "The prospects for Partnership Between Non-Governmental Organizations ('NGOs') and the Government in National Development Within a Multi-Party System". Better particulars regarding dates and program for the session <-_shall><+_will> be furnished to you in due course. Your thinking on the subject would contribute <-/greately> to the success of the session. Do let me know if you can make it. Yours faithfully, Forum Coordinator W1B-BT45 Attention: Mr. (Deputy Ambassador) Sorry for failing to meet the 15th Feb. 1993 appointment I had to prepare for the Tripartite Meeting scheduled for the 18th February, 1993. Re: Introducing the Tanzania Youth Development and Employment Foundation (T.Y.D.E.F.) Please refer to the above-mentioned subject matter. On behalf of the Board of Trustees I have the Honour of introducing the Tanzania Youth Development and Employment Foundation (T.Y.D.E.F.). Since its inception (1987) the Tanzania Youth Development and Employment Foundation (TYDEF) has ignited the imagination of a great many people at grassroot levels in the informal sector in D'Salaam region who have registered with us over 900 (nine hundred groups) of five to ten members per enterprise making an average of 6,000 (six thousand) people. Still more are coming. The Tanzania Youth Development and Employment Foundation (TYDEF) last year managed to secure UNDP funded assistance to the tune of US $ 503,000 geared towards TYDEF institutional building with ILO as the Executing Agency. Fortunately after securing the <-/finacial> Assistance from the UNDP; though the Project Document provided for a two year period of project activities before handing over to TYDEF at a Tripartite Meeting between UNDP/ILO/The Government and TYDEF held on the 18th February 1993 changes were made and it was resolved that: (a) A technical Assessment team be assembled within three months after the Tripartite meeting to study TYDEF Administrative and Management capacity with a view of handing over Project activities to TYDEF. Modalities towards assembling the Technical Team to carry out the work would be the responsibility of the UNDP and ILO. (b) TYDEF should raise the 5.0 million shillings required to cover local costs in the final year of the project. For us TYDEF this is a very positive response from our Donor and we feel an obligation of meeting the local costs component and experience has taught us that whenever we request assistance from friendly Governments and whenever there is an objective reasoning for it we do meet receptive ears . Since our request would reflect concrete <-/acheivement> of the grassroot itself of which we are a sensitising organ I hope we won't have gone very far when we request assistance of at least a half <-/forthe> 5 million shillings earmarked. We would also be greatly honoured Sir, if you would accept an invitation from us at your <-/conviniency> so that you meet with TYDEF members scattered all over Dar es Salaam Region. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Executive Director. W1B-BT46 Dear Sir, Re: Application for project funding We have the honour of submitting our application for project funding. The project is called HEKIMA PROJECT.

Sincerely Yours W1B-BT49 Dear Rev., Your manuscript on "FAMILIA NDOGO KWA MAISHA MAZURI" refers . I have read it during this weekend with great interest and found it to be an excellent publication. Congratulations for this initiative. The publication will educate the <-/indented> readers on the very important and timely health issue in respect to the population problems which are, a national concern. <-/Commending> on content of the manuscript, it is written in a fairly simple language and drawings which together make the book easy to read and understand by any person without much formal education. I find it to be resourceful educational materials to members of families, community leaders, primary health care meetings extension workers and in particular the teachers in all schools and public in general. I however, suggest that the title of this book need to be improved or changed to a more comprehensive one with an attractive illustration. I am trying to think of one which I will communicate to you later. Lastly I take this opportunity to reiterate the support of our Institution to your endeavours through the programme of "Facts for Life" which is an attempt to ensure that the most recent and relevant knowledge and experiences are being applied in the people's efforts to control some of the most serious public health problems in Tanzania.

W1B-BT50 Dear Dr. , Re: Submission of Women Projects Reference is hereby made to the conversation we held recently at your house between yourself, Mr. Hagamu and myself regarding the possibility you indicated of KAF funding Women Projects in our country. We have made two proposals and submit them to you for your perusal and forwarding. Both projects are intended to benefit women especially, low income and the non-working women. If KAF can fund both of them it will be a grace to us . Anticipating for your positive response, I remain.

Chairperson TAALUMA W1B-BT52 Dear Tanzania Gender Networking Programme seminar series - Beijing feedback - 7 October 1995 (Saturday) Tanzania Gender Networking Programme participated in the just ended UN World Conference on Women in Beijing '95. On 27/9/95, as part of TGNP Wednesday Gender and Development Seminar series, TGNP delegates to Beijing Conference organized a feedback seminar at its offices along Azikiwe Street, CRDB building (opposite New Post Office). The seminar was attended by about 70 people. A high level of participation took place in the discussions which followed the presentations, but time was too short to cover all the issues and plan action. People felt the need for more publicity, partly to counteract the largely indifferent and, sometimes negative reporting about Beijing in local and international media. A request was put forward that TGNP organize a similar event for a whole day with a wider coverage and a larger audience and to specifically focus on action oriented programmes with follow-up activities among TGNP networkers and other NGOs. The above <-/mentionfirmed> for the seminar is Saturday 7 October 1995. TGNP would feel very honoured to have your presence and participation at the above-mentioned seminar which will be held at the British Council from 8.30 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. Soda and bites will be provided. The objective of the workshop are as follows:- 1. Dissemination of information in detail regarding decisions made in Beijing. 2. Suggestions regarding different steps taken by organizations, for the Beijing plan of action. 3. To arrange for plan of action. 4. Feedback on the media coverage We are looking forward to your participation. Yours sincerely, Chairperson W1B-BT53 Dear , Re: Voter education and research using community <-/theater>: We are pleased to inform you that the above Project is proceeding well. After Bagamoyo two of the team members proceeded <-_for><+_to> Babati for a week to do the preliminaries, followed by the rest of the team for another week. On Saturday 23rd, 95. the team finalized training in Babati. Unfortunately the team endured through very difficult conditions while in Babati as a result of which four of the Team members returned very ill with Malaria, fever and cough. It is with this effect I am writing to inform you that Training in Boko has been postponed to next week starting 2nd October '95. The last community performance will be on Saturday 7th '95. Again we thank you for the support. Sincerely, Organizing Secretary (TGNP) W1B-BT54 Dear , I hope that you are doing well. It is quite a while since we communicated as we realized that you had travelled. Regarding TGNP activities especially Voter Education at the moment, we have had good successes and are proceeding with the exercise. On Friday we are organizing a peaceful rally in: - congratulating women contestants, politicians and those aspiring for political posts - to urge all political parties to dis-agree without fighting - for a change, to get politicians to listen to the campaigns of the people (what they want for their country to the year 2010) - to urge the community to use their rights by voting for an appropriate leader who meets stipulated leadership qualities - to remind the community that this is the International year for Peace and Tolerance - and finally to avail space for women going to Beijing China to show in clear terms what our mission is. Secondly, I wish to inform you that we have proceeded in facilitation travel and expenses for the two sponsored by KAF to Beijing. The two are and . Both have participated in Voter education and Development Research just completed in MBEYA, KONDOA and DAR ES SALAAM under the sponsorship of SDC. Also PAUKWA group members (attached please see a leaflet on who they are and what they do) will begin the COMMUNITY <-/THEATER> on voter education project sponsored by KAF next week in Bagamoyo. We have dared advance financial facilitation of the project <-/inspite> of the fact that the funds have not come to TGNP account. We trust that funding will come through as presented in the Project proposal submitted to you soon. Program will be submitted to you soon. Wish you all the best and thanking you for all. Sincerely, Organizing Secretary W1B-BT55 Dear Sir/Madam, Re: Voter education materials We are very happy to present you posters and brochures being Voter education sample materials as part of our Voter education Project under the Royal Netherlands Funding.

The Workshop will take place at Mbagala Spiritual Centre starting on 2/7/95 to 4/7/95. The main Theme of the Workshop will be "Education for Participatory Democracy". So we hope your participation will contribute a lot towards the effectiveness of our Workshop. It is our hope that you will accept this invitation. Yours sincerely, Coordinator W1B-BT57 Dear , Re: Production of voter education materials with a gender perspective; 9th-10th June 1995, Mbagala Spiritual Centre As an Organization, Tanzania Gender Networking Programme (TGNP) feels that, while much is being done to educate voters at present, a gender perspective is conspicuous by its absence. In addition we feel that we are not listening enough to the voters themselves. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to a two day Voter Education Workshop in order to identify the specific issues that need to be addressed and make a start on production of the materials so that they can be produced and used in the community as a starting point for further dialogue and mutual education. Issues will focus interest groups eg. -Youth, - Rural Women, - Informal Sector, - Workers etc. Specifically to assist women voters and the voted to actively participate in politics and raise concern over development issues. Attached please find TGNP-brochure, a list of invited participants and a registration form <-_of> which we request you to fill and return to the Workshop Organizer TGNP. Your input in the production of voter materials with a gender perspective is highly valuable. Sincerely Yours, Project Coordinator.

In all the places we visited, our hosts were well prepared to share with us, information about the status of Women in Germany and were keen also to learn about the situation of women in Tanzania. We have learned <-/alot> in terms of <-/lobbing> <-/techiniques>, how to use pressure during advocacy work, and also how to diversify activities so as to reach more target groups. We do hope some of the sisters and brothers we visited will get a chance to visit us as well, so that they can meet more groups and build even a more wider network. We cannot thank you enough, but know that the experience we got will be put in good use. We end with what Mrs of Family Initiative in Radebeul told us was her motto; "For woman there is no failure only a <-/draw back>!" In Sisterhood Chairperson TGNP W1B-BT60 Dear , Closing 1994 Bacawa activities and <-/welcomming> 1995 I have the honour to write to you, and request you to be our guest at honour <-_an><+_on> 20th 12, 1994 at our ceremony mentioned above which will held at Makondeko City Inn Bagamoyo Road at 10.00 am. Our guest of honour to present certificates she will be the wife of Germany Embassy if she will accept our invitation . Because <-_its><+_it's> <-/Christimas> holiday she might be on holiday Five Villages women will participate at the ceremony to receive their certificates for "Women Clubs Bank". One hundred women they will attend the ceremony. I hope you will take us into consideration. <-/Your's> Sincerely Chairperson W1B-BT61 Dear , Request for funding nine people from TNGP, TAALUMA Women Women Association to participate in the Dakar regional preparatory conference November, 1994 and the 4th World Conference on Women September, 1995 We have the honour to express our appreciation for the financial assistance KAF has offered to fund activities in the above mentioned organisations. You will be pleased to know that these three <-/NGO's> have taken an active part in the preparation process of the NGO Country Report for the Dakar and Beijing Conferences. Two of the three Organisations are coordinating validation <-/reseach> and Zonal workshops in order to finalise the national NGO report. The draft report was launched on 25th June, 1994. The Tanzania Association of <-/NGO's> is coordinating the preparation of the report. During the preparation process as well as at the launching programme, most donors have pledged to support the preparation of the report and the process of empowering women and transforming society in Tanzania. However funding is only available for a few people to attend the Dakar and Beijing Conferences. We in the three NGOs whose activities KAF is sponsoring are convinced that it will enrich our capacity to organise and network if at least three people from each NGO are given the opportunity to participate at the Dakar Regional preparatory Conference scheduled for Nov, 1994 as well as the 4th World Conference on Women, Beijing 1995. We will be able to make a valuable contribution to the proceedings as a result of our participation in preparatory activities in Tanzania. The experiences we acquire through participation in the two conferences will trickle down to the grassroots through our outreach programmes, Gender sensitisation seminars and others. It is in this spirit that we come to KAF with this request. Below are the budget lines. Thank you in advance for considering our request fully or partly. Yours sincerely, Chairperson TGNP & for TAALUMA WD & BACAWA W1B-BT62 Dear , Re: Acknowledge receipt of grant 2nd and 3rd installment toal Tshs 4,416,338.50 Tanzania Gender Networking Programme is grateful for the above disbursed funds which enabled payment of salaries for their two employees plus other activities. Attached please find a financial report as of 4th March to 30th April 1994 with a balance of Tshs. 1,544,324.40. However the balance will sustain TGNP activities for the month of May only.

We thank you for the assistance Yours sincerely TGNP Secretary General W1B-BT63 Dear Sir, RE: 14 PACKAGES PHARM/MED SUPPLIES FLIGHT NO.

As I was promised that the goods will be in Dar on 25th October 1995, but the goods were received on 1st November, hence there was 7 days delay. During this time I was staying in the hotel which caused me to incur unnecessary expenditures. I therefore ask your company to re-emburse me the expenditure incurred during that time. with thanks.

I therefore ask your office to refund me for the lost goods which has costed me US $ 1.283/- (US Dollars One thousand two hundred eighty three only). Thankyou for your prompt response in this regard. Awaiting your favourable reply soon, we remain, Yours Faithfully, W1B-BT66 RE: AN ASSESSMENT ON TANDIKA'S <-/TALNSLATION> OF "SPRACHE GESELSCHAFT UND KOMMNIKATION IN AFRICA" BY B. HEINE I have the honour to respond to the request, assumingly yours, that I should give you an <-/assesment> report on the above. I do not read nor speak German. But I have read Mr. Tandika's text thoroughly well. My reaction includes the following points. General: Kiswahili as a Tanzanian language is very well established, from the grassroots to top academic as well as political leaders. As an African language, East, central and Southern Africa is very well covered by Kiswahili. There is no country in this zone that users of the language can be absent. The Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudanese zone, partly East African, partly northern and practically one of its own, also teaches and uses Kiswahili. In Egypt, they teach it at University level and announce it in their RADIO. In West Africa they teach it in Ghana, Nigeria and little of it in Guinea. Obviously, Kiswahili has developed as one of world languages. Its significance is both academic and social. It has a natural Force which attracts various people to learn it. This translation: Translation of one language into another, always opens up new revenues. New concepts, words, expressions etc. are brought into being. Ideas are shared and relations established. Translation is one big way of bringing about educational growth of a nation or of a people. At the present stage of the history of Kiswahili, at which modern science and <-/etechnology> take their rightful places, translation of academic books is essentially useful and very instrumental in bringing about the necessary changes. I have noted with interest the coverage that Tandika's translation has: Official and national languages classification of countries based on languages, Language and politics, Dialects and Languages Planning, Language and Society, problems of standardization, Africa and its languages - Kiswahili, Husa, Mandingo; Ethnicity and Language and Expectation that book offers etc. These are very relevant topics of discussion both in academic circles as well as in social political groups. At our Institute of Kiswahili Research, we have just started serious work on dialectology and there is a very not discussion going on about the real Mswahili and her language Kiswahili. In Africa, we are still very divided due to language differences and linguistic attitudes. No body can deny this fact that this translation has some answers to these questions. The title itself as Tandika suggests, LUGHA, JAMII NA MAWASILIANO AFRICA offers attraction, logic and understanding of our major problems in language planning and developments. Kiswahili has borrowed German expressions and concepts in this translation for example lugha inayotumika na wengi instead of our old lugha ya kati for lingua franca. Possible Users The Ministry of Education is the only organ in Tanzania which recommends books to be used at specific levels of its students. As it is, it is a book which interests general readers whose number can be estimated at ten to twenty thousand copies. For schools, it fits into secondary, colleges and the University. For this another twenty thousand would be the minimum. Let ten other thousands be for our neighbourly readers in Kenya, Burundi and Rwanda. The sponsor should pay for the publication of the book so that the buying price remains at a subsidy. Conclusion Tanzania is now very bad in need of good books. This translation is one of the on-going efforts to fill the gap. It is my sincere hope that this translation shall be published accordingly and immediately. of the Institute of Kiswahili Research can check the perfection of the translation (if it has not been done) and of BAKITA can quickly and well enough edit the manuscript for publication. This exercise shall prove positively towards developing kiswahili which is your rightful offer to Tanzanian's cultural growth and Development. Folklorist, Educationalist, Translator and Senior Research Fellow W1B-BT67 Dear Mr. First of all I would like to thank you for the Second time, for you made me able to attend the seminar which was conducted at Ardhi Institute recently. Secondly I hope you're fine and <-/definately> you received the ticket which I posted to you after arriving at Morogoro. True speaking my Municipal Director was very delighted when I handed over the handouts of the seminar and our resolutions which he said were of the beneficial to our Council as well as Local <-/Goverments> are Concerned. Mr. it is time now I would like to present a request <-/sothat> you may consider me for a short course on waste management and sanitation anywhere. I have already applied to the Centre for Housing Studies Rotterdam and they accepted to admit me for a six months course but unfortunately there was no sponsor. May be your Institute can do some help to me or otherwise you can ask some other firms which could assist me on that matter. I am really happy the way you have been very much kind to me that you invited and assisted me in three Consecutive Seminars there at DSM it is really wonderful. I hope in Federal Republic of Germany there might be some firms which are ready to sponsor such short courses but, they have not been contacted, so through your firm may be I would get a help although if not in Rotterdam may be at any place where such course can be conducted*. International Course on Water Supply (b) Low Cost Sanitation Course (Held at Centre for Housing studies Ardhi DSM-1984 (4 months) (c) Seminar on selected Industries Morogoro/DSM on waste pollution 1986. (3 weeks) (d) Seminar on waste management Ardhi Institute 1989 1 week. (e) Follow up of the above Seminar Ardhi Institute 1991 1 week. Lastly I beg you to put your effort so that I succeed to get one to sponsor the course. I hope to get an answer soon. Yours faithful My qualification is sufficient to get such a course because I am holder of East African Diploma in Environmental Health Sciences of the University of DSM award in 1981. Seminars and courses attended: (a) Designing and construction of VIP latrine held at Ardhi Institute (Environmental Impact Considerations) 1982. 2 weeks. W1B-BT68 Dear Sir, RE: INVITATION TO ATTEND THE OPENING CEREMONY OF AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON URBAN PLANS AND THE MANAGEMENT OF RAPID URBAN GROWTH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: 26TH-31ST AUGUST, 1991 The Centre for Housing Studies of Ardhi Institute will be organizing an International Conference on Urban Plans and Management of Rapid Urban Growth in Developing Countries at Ardhi Institute from 26th-31st August, 1991. Presently there is worldwide concern of the planning and management of urban growth in developing countries. The aim of the conference is to bring together leading practitioners and academics to examine the impact of urban plans in directing the development of Urban Centres. His Excellency the Minister for Lands, Housing and Urban Development Hon. (MP) is expected to officiate the opening of this conference on Monday 26th August, 1991 at 9.00 a.m. The Principal of Ardhi Institute and the Director of the Centre for Housing Studies of Ardhi Institute, has the pleasure to invite you to the opening ceremony and should you find it convenient, the proceedings of the conference.

Yours sincerely, for: PRINCIPAL W1B-BT69 Dear Mr. ANICET KITEREZA-(1896-1981. Thank you very much for your kind letter of invitation. I must admit that I have been away for a very long time, probably ran away from your office. I was always thinking of paying a visit to your office, but time never allowed me to do so. As soon as I received the money from your Embassy through your kind efforts I started to roll about here and there. I managed to travel up to Winde an old Sea side town, very historic which lies between Bagamoyo and Saadan where I had to do a bit of research. I returned here and began to decipher some very old <-_informations><+_information>. My work seems to be progressing well and I am happy at this moment to say that I have about 3,000 main entries and about 1,800 sub entries while my Data Bank is still rich about one half of the total number already <-/sloted> in. However it is too early now to predict its expected figure, but I will be able to do so as soon as I get the writing Cards which I hope to secure some very soon. These will be about 10,000 which I hope they will suffice. I am glad to tell you that I am now working on two projects at a time i. e. Cultural Dictionary and Etymology Dictionary based on Coastal towns and villages along the Tanzanian coast. The Etymo. has about 1,800 names of towns etc. with their very secret meaning. As soon as I push them in hard Cards, I shall then be in possession to inform the Embassy about the progress of the work. Thank you once again for all that you have done in this connection. Hoping to see you at the Aniceti Kitereza's Exhibition. Yours sincerely, W1B-BT70 Dear Sir, REF: SEMINAR ON "RADIO PLAYS/DRAMA", DECEMBER 2-14, 1991 Please refer to your letter with Ref.

We will deal with KISWAHILI SANIFU later but now we have a duty to establish some historical as well as cultural facts. Only papers with this kind of stuff shall be honoured. With many thanks in advance for your good cooperation. I remain, Sincerely yours, (Ph.D) W1B-BT78 Dear Mr. , I am sorry to have missed most of your programme on "Kiswahili Culture". My absence was mainly caused by social happenings; deaths and illnesses of close members of my family. However, I must congratulate you for the efforts and determination to make our dreams a reality and a big success. Now that we are through, would you please let me know whether of not you have any plans to publish the lectures as we proposed long before.

Grateful if you would be in a position to notify me. With thanks, DIRECTOR W1B-BT81 Dear Sir, RE: PROPOSED TWO WEEK WORKSHOP ON REGIONAL PLANNING IN TANZANIA The Centre For Housing Studies at Ardhi Institute intends to run a Workshop in July, to review the art and performance of regional planning in Tanzania. The Workshop intends to provide an active forum, where experiences from all mainland Regions will be presented by regional representatives, to be followed by discussions and analyses by participating officials of the (Lands) Ministry responsible for regional planning and Lecturer of Ardhi Institute. A proposed workshop outline has been attached for your perusal and reaction.

We look forward to your cooperation. Yours sincerely, For: DIRECTOR CENTRE FOR HOUSING STUDIES W1B-BT82 Dear Mr. , Thanks for your note regarding examination of sculptures for your joint exhibition. I suggest you come to the museum on Wednesday 22nd May, 1996 at 10.00 am if you have no objection. Otherwise you can suggest any other time on Wednesday. Regarding my proposal to the DAAD I am enclosing herewith a draft of the application and enclosed letter of recommendation. Perhaps we can discuss this further on Wednesday. As you can see, the proposal is incomplete especially as far as technical specifications and prices are concerned. I would be most grateful to discuss our requirements with any computer firm you can suggest. Lastly, would you kindly do me a favor? I am planning to publish one of my scientific papers in the German Journal "Malakologische Abhandlungen Dresden" (Statliches Museum für Tierkunde Dresden) whether. I however don't have the address of this Museum in Dresden and I am wondering either you have any record where I can refer for the exact address. Thanking you for your cooperation. Yours sincerely, DIRECTOR OF DAR ES SALAAM MUSEUM W1B-BT83 Dear Sir, RE: ASSISTANCE FOR <-_EQUIPMENTS><+_EQUiPMENT> FOR DOCUMENTATION OF CULTURAL AND NATURAL HISTORY COLLECTIONS AT THE DAR ES SALAAM NATIONAL MUSEUM: Because this is my first letter since our Zoologist Dr. completed his doctoral studies under The DAAD sponsorship, I wish fore-most, on behalf of the Board of Directors of the National Museum of Tanzania to thank the DAAD for the financial assistance which enabled Dr. to <-/persue> the studies at Humboldt University. After his studies Dr. has been appointed Director of the Dar es Salaam National Museum and he is the Senior Scientist in the museums department of zoology, responsible for research and museum collection. <-/Refering> now to the actual issue, I wish to forward the enclosed application for assistance in terms of provision of a computer, printer and a photocopying machine under the DAAD sponsored students. I am optimistic that the requested assistance will <-/greately> improve documentation systems at the Dar es Salaam National Museum and will enable Dr. and other fellow scientist to <-/performe> their research well. The requested assistance is very crucial in view of the need to computerise collection management systems. The National Museum of Tanzania normally provides for the budget for <-/maintainance> of technical <-_equipments><+_equipment> yearly. The Museum has also <-/aquired> customs duty waiver for importation of <-_equipments><+_equipment> to be used for museum purposes and is able to settle handling charges for the requested <-_equipments><+_equipment>. I hope that your good office will consider this request and will see a way of assisting the museum. With best regards. Yours, faithfully, DIRECTOR GENERAL W1B-BT84 Dear <-/Collegue>, Thanks for your letter of 4th September, 1996 regarding our planned seminar and exhibition on Tanzanian Sculptures. I am pleased that you will be able to attend and present a paper. It has been agreed that the dates for the seminar are 11th-13th November, 1996. The exhibition will be opened on 11th November, 1996 at 5.00 pm. Please note that our telephone and fax are not working. Use tel. no. and fax no. if need <-/araise>. Looking forwards to meeting you. Yours sincerely, DIRECTOR W1B-BT85 Dear Sir, RE: TEMPORARY ETHNOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION Thank you very much for your message which reached me this morning about the above named exhibition. Fortunately, I am ready with the draft proposal for the seminar and temporary exhibition which I am attaching for your viewing before we meet. As it can be seen, there is a lot of information gap in the proposed budget even after long discussions with the Museum Director. Worse still, it is the part which matters. The work on the show case kindly donated by you is going on and we hope it will be ready on time. Please if it is convenient for you we can meet here or at your institute on Friday any time from 10.00 am. I am hopeful that I will get more help or suggestions on the issue. As for the captions, me and my assistant are working on them, and on Friday I'll be in a position to suggest a possible date to start work with your librarian. Again, thank you. Yours faithfully, for: DIRECTOR W1B-BT86 Dear Mr. , Vielen Dank for your letter of 13/1/1991. Unfortunately it arrived while I was on a month-long Safari, hence I could not reply in time. Now, regarding your queries, and requests, I can only advise as follows: 1. I can send you my photo if you really need it TPH had a photo that I took together with the late in 1975. I do not know whether they still have it; I will contact them on the matter. 2. The most important 5 - 6 Tanzanian writers of this century, in my view, are: 1. The late Shaaban Robert (died 1962) 2. The late Mathias Mayampala (died 1969) 3. The late M. S. Abdulla (died 20/2/1991) 4. E. Kezilahabi (a relative of Kitereza) still writing 5. Ebrahim Hussein (still writing) 6. Penina Muhando (still writing). I suggest that we get their photos for the exhibition. The cost of a good, framed photograph of each of the authors will be about T-Sh. 8000/=. Hence the cost of the 6 photos will be about 8000x6=48000/= (US $ 250/=). 3. Kitereza got his theological education at Rubya (Roman Catholic) Seminary in Bukoba, North-Western Tanzania. I have no <-/ducuments> or photos from that period and place. However, it may be necessary to send someone there to get them i. e. if we intend to have a really authentic exhibition. This may involve some costs (travelling, subsistence, <-/hotocopying>, etc.). <-/Alternatuvely>, one could request Rubya Seminary to supply the material gratis by post, hoping that they would oblige. For all these reasons, this material cannot possibly be sent to you by the end of March. 4. Fr. from Canada was Kitereza's <-/acquintance>, and is said to have taken to Canada a typescript of the Kikerebe version of Kitereza's novel, hoping to find a publisher for it. Unfortunately, he died before he could get a publisher. That's all I could gather about him. <-_Thats><+_That's> all for the time being. Sorry for the delay in answering. Please keep in touch. (Please note my correct address above). Yours Sincerely, C. C. Director W1B-BT87 Dear Sir, Re: Claim for loss of part shipment AWB 020/32035721 10PCS 650KGS The above mentioned heading refers, I have sent 10 cartons of readymade garments weighing 650kgs from Abu Dhabi to DAR but up to now I have received only 9 cartons weighing 589 Kgs.

Sincerely yours, Secretary General Arts Promotion Director W1B-BT90 Dear Sir, Re: Assistance for renovation of Kigamboni Primary School Kigamboni Primary School is a very old school which was established by the Roman Catholic Missionaries in the 1940's. <-_It's>>+_Its> buildings, however have never been repaired ever since they were first constructed. The school has a capacity for admitting 3,000 and more pupils every academic year. But due to the unconducive environment caused by the <-/dilapitated> buildings, the school fails to <-/accomodate> some of the pupils and for those <-/accomodated>, their performance has never been satisfactory. To arrest this situation, the School <-/Commitee> has decided to seek material assistance from benevolent sources, including your institution. According to project estimates already identified by the committee, an amount to the tune of Tshs.25,000,000.00 would be enough to cover fencing, renovation of office block and three classroom blocks. So far the parents have contributed Tshs 2,000,000.00 and some labour for the project. It is with this spirit of nation building that we bring <-/fourth> to you our request for your material/financial assistance. We thank you in advance for your kind attention. Yours faithfully, W1B-BT91 Dear , You probably remember me. I am a lawyer - cum - journalist, who has maintained a weekly column in 'BUSINESS TIMES' since the Newspaper was born in November 1988. Through this column called 'WITH A LEGAL TOUCH' I have persistently crusaded for democracy and socio-economic reform in Tanzania. I was closely associated with the founding of the weekly and have remained a faithful supporter of its development. Besides, I write another column in the same business weekly called 'TALKING BUSINESS' under a pen-name of Bob Wemu. Sir, you may also like to know that I was a member of a committee of experts which planned the birth of THE BUSINESS newspaper in the city three years ago. My visible contribution to the paper is a weekly column called 'THE RULE OF LAW' in the SUNDAY EXPRESS. To cap it all, I was recently appointed a columnist in a brand newcomer on the media horizon, THE EAST AFRICAN. This is a sister paper of DAILY NATION OF Kenya. May I also mention in passing that I was last April appointed a member of the UN Observer Mission on the first democratic general elections of South Africa. In August, I was privileged to be one of East African experts who discussed the revival of the EA Community at Conference held in Kampala, Uganda. In short, I humbly and respectfully request you, Jorg, to support my burning desire to attend the forthcoming summit in Copenhagen. You could kindly pay for my return air - ticket and for my stay in the city during the important gathering. I firmly believe that my attendance and/or participation in the meeting will help broaden my orientation and improve my skills. It will hopefully open to me new ways of contributing to the war against poverty in Tanzania. Please find enclosed some copies of my write-ups for your reference and a copy of the application form for media accreditation. My bio-data is also attached.

Yours faithfully, Vice Chairman W1B-BT93 Dear Sir, Re: Administration of Company Development Programme (CDP) The subject above refers. As it is known to each one of us, the implementation of each session of CDP is phased sequentially. The first phase is class-work. This involves lecturing, followed by workshops. Lecturers are given by resource persons and they are very condensed. The purpose of such lectures is to provide participants with some analytical tools which they are made to apply immediately in diagnosing and x-raying the company of every participant when the participants have constituted themselves into a five member workshop group. Since there are twenty participants in the CDP, this means there are four workshops each consisting of five members. The workshops are conducted simultaneously, and they all focus on the same theme. The other phase is the so-called shadow Board Meetings. This comes up after the first phase, that is, class-work has been completed. The five members who form one workshop during class-work, constitute themselves into Shadow Board members. Acting and behaving as real Board Members of the Company of every participant, the shadow Board members are required to analyse financial ratios, production/marketing matrix, strength and weakness of each Company, incentive package (motivation), time usage, competition, etc. The <-/skillful> administration/co-ordination by SICATA of the two phases of each session in the CDP is of critical importance to the achievement of our (SICATA) objective - namely the transfer of technology (specifically soft-ware) which unquestionably is a vital factor of production. In the light of the above it is obvious that after the IFL (Swedish Institute of Management) have completed their Contract, SICATA should necessarily proceed with the programme. For SICATA to be able to achieve this goal, inevitably we must actively participate in all the two phases of each session of the CDP. Where we are subjected to constraints such as shortage of manpower and or funds; the shadow Board Meetings should be scheduled in such a way that enables the programme coordinator to attend all the shadow board meetings. The reason for this being that at the end of CDP, the coordinator will be required to chair a Committee that will be encharged with the production of a hand-book to be used by SICATA. Guided by this, the following has been decided:- (i) Mr. - who is the Programme Coordinator should attend all the Board Meetings: Arusha, and Moshi (...). (ii) Mr. who travelled to Moshi for the purpose of attending the Board meeting instead of Mr. is returning to Dar es Salaam to participate in the Women's Workshop to be held at our Branch Office on .. The per diem given to has been deposited at the Project Head Office and will be given to Mr. for the same purpose on arrival. Twenty thousand five hundred only (..) have been deposited. (iii) Since the Women's Workshop required three participants from our office, Mr. who leaves Moshi on ... should join you at the Workshop. (iv) While at the workshop, you are to lead our team and Mr. will act as your secretary; he should submit the report at the time to be prescribed by you. (v) During the first CDP session, only three SICATA officials attended the two phases of session I. For reasons advanced earlier in this letter and also through telephone conversation between myself and yourself; it is proposed that Mr. should be included in the programme. This will make the number of SICATA officials to be four, thus enabling us to cover every Workshop. Bearing this in mind, the proposed budget should take care of Mr. . Yours faithfully, Project Manager
