NONDOZ KWA WATANZANIA OHIO (USA) APPLY NOW.

Funding: University of Ohio presents Opportunities for Graduate Study: Local Knowledge and Climate Change Adaptation in Tanzania

Closing date: 15 February 2010

Two two-year research assistantships at the M.A. level are available through a new project on local knowledge and climate change adaptation in Tanzania supported by the National Science Foundation’s Geography and Spatial Science (GSS) Program. The project -Linking Local Knowledge and Local Institutions for the Study of Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change: Participatory GIS in Northern Tanzania – investigates the myriad ways in which human, social, and institutional capital enable households and communities to draw on local knowledge and outside specialist knowledge to moderate the negative effects of greater climatic instability on rural livelihoods.

In addition to completing required courses for the MA program over two academic years (2010-2011 and 2011-2012), the successful candidates will contribute to an international interdisciplinary research project. We expect applicants to develop a thesis project that contributes to the project’s research objectives.

One graduate research assistant will work on the development of online multimedia applications derived from a participatory GIS. Background or interest in cartography and web-based mapping is desirable.

A second research assistant will work with the research team on the implementation of the project’s participatory field methodology and contribute to data analysis. The student’s interests should be focused on environment-development interactions (e.g., the dynamics of resource access, political, environmental or cultural-linguistic dimensions of local knowledge systems, gendered aspects of climate change adaptation). Proficiency in Kiswahili or interest in learning Kiswahili at Ohio University is a plus.

The assistantships include two academic years of tuition waiver and stipend for students enrolled in the Geography M.A. program. Additional support is available for student field research activities in Tanzania.

Eligible students may also apply for a Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship from OU’s Center for African Studies http://www.internationalstudies.ohio.edu/app-info/flas.html

The application deadline is February 15 for Fall 2010 admission.

VOLUNTARY ECOLOGICAL YEAR IN GERMANY -Cultural Exchange and Environmental Work 2009

Introduction
The Voluntary Ecological Year ("Freiwilliges Ökologisches Jahr, FÖJ") is a scheme for young Germans to work for one year in different fields in the environmental sector. Since 2008 the Tanzania Solar Energy Association (TASEA) in Dar es Salaam together with the FÖJ branch in Schleswig-Holstein (a region in Northern Germany), have made it possible for two Tanzanians to take part in this scheme.

This year again, from August 2009 until August 2010, this opportunity will be available for 2 Tanzanian girls to work in Germany with the aim to further cultural exchange and the protection of the environment. If you are interested in experiencing German culture for one year and work in an NGO in the environmental sector in Germany, hesitate no longer and request your information pack and application form!



Further Information
For the year you will be assigned and work together with a young German participant of the programme in the same project. You will:

- Share ideas and learn from each other about your culture
- Experience the German way of life
- Improve the understanding of Tanzanian culture in Germany
- Learn about global environmental, economical and political issues
- Rise the environmental awareness of the Germans
- Take responsibility for sustainable development
- Work in educational and agricultural projects

Before starting the voluntary work you will take part in seminars in cultural preparation and a short introduction into the German language in Tanzania and Germany. During and after your stay you will meet participants of the FÖJ from different countries to share your ideas and experience.. You will live in a host family in the city of Lübeck nearby your working place and live on a small monthly stipend. Travel expenses are covered by the FÖJ Schleswig- Holstein.


Download an exact description of the work and hosting projects here:http://www.tasea.org/FOJfiles/FOJHostingPlaces.

What is expected from you?
If you apply you should match the following hard criteria:

If you are selected to go to Germany, you would be furthermore expected to contribute a small part of the administrative and preparation costs in Tanzania to TASEA. The amount will be TSH 150,000, which covers only a small part of the costs we spend for your travels to Dar es Salaam, preparation and language courses as well as visa fees. It should be understood as a symbolic gesture emphasising your motivation. Obtaining the money can usually be done by fundraising, and we can give you assistance in this process.

Furthermore, in case you will be selected to go to Germany, you will be expected to obtain an International Passport as soon as possible, as this will be necessary for applying for a visa.
