    Analysis of the role of East African Community (EAC) in the development of cross-border trade: A case of united republic of Tanzania
    (Mzumbe University, 2020) Mbwambo, Iman Elineema
    This study investigated the role that the EAC has played in the development of the cross-border trade; while focusing on the impact of capital inflows, intra-trade and the effect of inflation to export Performance of Tanzania.The study employed the Gravity Model theoretical framework which used the gravity equation to describe the size of joint trade flows between two countries. The data was analyzed using the estimation technique – Pooled Mean Group (PMG). The study used a panel of four countries with annual data for the period 2003-2018 using the PMG technique. The outcomes of PMG revealed that FDI, GDP from the Partner States and inflation have all a positive statistically significant relationship with Tanzania exports, imports from the Partner States affects Tanzanian exports negatively except for population variable. The results of the PMG in the short-run have revealed that; changes in the rate of Rwanda’s import has a positive and statistically significant impact to Tanzania exports; the economic growth of Uganda has had a negative statistical significant relationship with Tanzania’s export performance. Otherwise, the positive change in the economic growth of Tanzania statistically increases the rate of export; and that, Burundi and Kenya have no short-run causality with the Tanzania export rate because all the variables are not statistically significant. The discoveries of this study have significant policy inferences to the economy of Tanzania. The biggest constraint to the study was the fact that data were sourced from diverse sources, which are conflicting, thus requiring an in-depth analysis to be conducted first. Future research can expand the number of countries to include other regional integrations that Tanzania is associated with, such as the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC).

    The role of political leaders in enhancing peace and tranquility: Thinking big
    (International Journal of Managerial Studies and Research (IJMSR), 2015) Massoi, L.W.; Milanzi, Montanous C.; Kyando Newton; Norman A.S. King
    Political leaders play an important role in facilitating peace and tranquillity. Their vitality is appreciated because they have followers- people who believe in what they say and act accordingly. This paper is cemented on the speech of considered one of the gurus of development management in the world when he made his presentation before the political party leaders in the Ruvuma region in Tanzania. While the amplification of the speech is based on Tanzania, we consider that the speech is relevant to the nationals of the world. The paper is a review in nature and has articulated experiential and factualism of the current world in setting the literature review, methodology, discussion and conclusion. The speech called upon leaders to realize that the emergence of political parties does not mean to jeopardize humanity. Political parties are planes, buses, trains, motorcycles, bicycles and footers for the sake of moving in the direction one would want to go, yet those who move are more important than the vessels they use. Development is what one ought to envision in whatever is done. Hence, synergizing thinking is a must for attaining development under the surface of peace and tranquillity. The paper concludes that peace is inevitable without political leaders playing a vital role in harnessing what they believe with others’ beliefs. In addition, political leaders must appreciate that losing and wining an election is the major outcomes of democratic elections.
