Qualifications

Master of Science in Forestry (MSc. For) at Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), Morogoro, Tanzania-2011.
Bachelor of Science in Forestry (BSc. For) at Sokoine University of Agriculture, Morogoro, Tanzania- 2008.

PhD Title (or subject area)

What explain the Mismatch between Policy Objectives and Outcomes in Participatory Forest Management in Tanzania?

Supervisors

Dr. Neal Hockley and Dr. Sophie Wynne-Jones

My research

Before the 1980s, centralized forest policies in many countries excluded local communities, resulting in mismanagement of forest resources. In the early 1980s, inclusion of local communities in forest management increased globally. Thereafter in the early 1990s Tanzania shifted from a centralized, state-led policy to Participatory Forest Management, aiming at improving livelihoods, forest condition and governance. Since introduction of Participatory Forest Management many studies of ecological and livelihood impacts of PFM has been conducted, but few studies on whether PFM improved forest governance. Those studies that did address governance were unable to identify the reasons why the approach failed or succeeded (failure of policy or of implementation?). Therefore, my overall research question is: why does the mismatch between policy objectives and outcomes occur in Participatory Forest Management? A case study of Tanzania will be used to answer the research question. The findings from this study will help to contribute to the knowledge on how to improve forest governance in PFM projects as well as to other forms of Community Forest initiatives at regional and global levels.

Research Interests

I'm interested in Forest Governance and Policy Studies, including what explains the mismatch between policy objectives and outcomes in Participatory Forest Management and power struggles in Participatory Forest Management. I also have experience in conservation ecology of critically endangered and near-threatened species (e.g. Distribution and Abundance of Saintpaulia and Streptocarpus Species in Udzungwa Mountain Forests, Tanzania).
