Testing as trust, condoms as suspicion
HIV prevention among young people in sub-Saharan Africa is often understood as an individual response to epidemiological risk, yet in many East African contexts prevention is negotiated within relationships shaped by trust, morality, and social recognition. Drawing on data from a mixed-methods study conducted with 460 young people and 24 key informants in Tanzania's Southern Highlands, this study examines how relational commitment reshapes the me…
Addressing Bribery and Associated Social Norms in Healthcare
Practices of bribery in the delivery of public services become entrenched when they are driven by social norms of reciprocity. The resulting economies of favours, which are common across diverse geographical regions, are resilient to conventional anti‐corruption measures because they are underpinned by strong social pressures. This article describes the results of a behaviour change intervention to address gift‐giving as a form of bribery in a Ta…
The Paradox of Bodaboda Youth as Agents for Promoting and Preventing Violent Extremism in Tanzania
The arrival of Motorcycle taxis ( bodaboda ) in the public transport sector in African and beyond have had far reaching opportunities and challenges in other realms of public affairs especially the economy and security. This paper examines the paradoxical nature of Bodaboda Youth in terms of their role in either promoting or/and preventing violent extremism in Tanzania. It seeks a nuanced understanding of the security dimensions of the bodaboda p…
Negotiating power from the margins
This paper provides an account of everyday discursive and material practises deployed by marginalised forest-dependent groups in the course of resisting the implementation of Reduced Emission from Deforestation and forest degradation (REDD + ) and conservation regulations. Available literature have documented extensively that REDD + market-based models across the Global South, and Tanzania in particular, have led to increasing inequality, injusti…
Disparities in Accessing Sexual and Reproductive Health Services at the Intersection of Disability and Female Adolescence in Tanzania
Despite at times having greater needs for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, adolescents with disabilities often face challenges when trying to access them. This inaccessibility is further exacerbated during female adolescence. The qualitative study examines how SRH services respond to the characteristics of Tanzanian adolescent females with disabilities. We used the method of empathy-based stories to investigate the perceptions of 13…
Knowledge Distortions in Tanzanian Secondary Schools
Since the 1990s there have been serious concerns about the quality of formal knowledge1 in Tanzania. The centre of the concerns has been the relationship between formal knowledge and development. Most of the studies agree that, under-development in Tanzania is highly influenced by the poor quality of formal knowledge. Though this has been the case, little is known about the distortions of knowledge in materialist terms. As it is argued by various…
Petty corruption in the public sector
This article presents comparative evidence about the relevance of behavioural drivers in relation to petty corruption in three East African countries. It discusses the potential to incorporate behavioural insights into anti-corruption policy-making. Persistently high levels of bureaucratic corruption prevail in many countries across the African continent. This along with the limited effectiveness of conventional anti-corruption prescriptions call…
The access paradox
Legal frameworks are vital instruments for securing the right to health, but broad contextualized studies rather than classifications of law along a liberal-restrictive continuum are demanded in order to enhance existing knowledge on access to safe abortion services in a given context
