Dear Chambi,
We write to you about a new research project that you may well be interested. This letter requests support in building a network of interested scholars and researchers who may be able to help in building the data necessary to explore recent (25 years) changes in rural areas.
What the project does
The project explores long term changes to livelihoods and prosperity in Tanzania. It does so by revisiting villages first surveyed in the 1990s and early 2000s. These surveys were conducted for diverse reasons, but generally contain similar information with respect to land holdings, land use, livestock and other assets. The similarities allow different surveys to be compared with each other, as well as over time. More about this project is available here (or see the url below our signatures).
How you can help
We do not yet have a definitive list of villages we wish to re-survey. That is the first purpose of this mail. We are looking for suitable surveys to repeat. A suitable survey is typically conducted by a good PhD student, or similarly well qualified researcher. It is based on a representative sample, and the researcher still has, somewhere, the original list of people they visited. If you know of such surveys please let us know. We would also be grateful if you could send this mail onto your networks, so that people who have conducted such surveys, or who know of them, could contact us. We have funds for researchers to revisit sites they have worked in, if they wish, as part of this project.
Second, as part of this project we are building up a publicly available database of crop price data (available here). If you have such data, or know of others who do, please could you get in touch? Please could you pass this note on to others who could help?
Third, as part of this project we will be appointing a post-doctoral research assistant. Good Swahili and ability to conduct research in remote rural areas are essential requirements of the post. The post will be advertised early in the next calendar year for appointment in the Spring.
Please help us to pass news of this onto WANAZUONI and your other networks.
We are grateful for your support,
With best wishes
Christine Noe, Dan Brockington, Vesa-Matti Loiske and Moses Mnzava
