Coming full circle: agriculture, non-farm activities and the resurgence of out-migration in Njombe district, Tanzania
Mung'ong'o, C.G. / 1998

This report presents the findings of research carried out between December 1996 and December 1997 in two villages in Lushoto District which formed a part of the Beyond the Shamba research project undertaken by the Institute of Resource Assessment of the University of Dar es Salaam and the Afrika-Studiecentrum, Leiden, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This study is one of four regional studies of agricultural and non-agricultural activities and their change over time within Tanzanian villages. As such there was a standardised research methodology that is outlined in the Appendix. It involved a general broad survey of individuals within the selected villages to determine the pattern of non-agricultural activities over time, a survey of existing non-agricultural enterprises within the village, a survey of Standard Seven school children's career expectations and attitudes towards work, and an in-depth survey of career patterns of different generations within selected households.
