    Effect of brining on the drying rate of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a solar tunnel dryer
    (2000) Kituu, G. M.; Shitanda, D.; Silayo, D.; Odote, P.; Bongyereire, J.
    This study determined effect of on the drying rate of tilapia in a solar tunnel dryer. Tilapia fish was split into pieces of 4cm by 3cm by 9mm and soaked into four brine concentrations varying between 0-15%. Moisture content was evaluated by oven drying method, while air temperatures were with an automated data logger. The moisture content of fish reduced as brine concentration increased. The effective diffusion coefficient varied between 5.061 *10-11 and 3.323*10-11 m2/s as brine concentration increased, and it decreased with increase in brine concentration.

    Governance structures for REDD+ Experiences from Tanzania
    (Climate Change Iimpacts and Adaptation and Mitigation Project (CCIAM) - Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), 2016) Vatn, A.; Kajembe, G.; Silayo, D.; Vedeld, P.
    This chapter discusses national gover­nance structures for REDD+ in Tanzania. It also docu­ments experiences from REDD+ pilot projects and discusses what findings from these imply for the national REDD+ strategy. The present strategy is advocating a national/fund whereas NGOs favour a market solution. Our research shows that establishing REDD+ will demand substantial develop­ments in local land/forest govern­ance structures including clarifying property rights and developing management plans. Capacities and competences at district, but also at national levels are weak. There are also important challenges related to ensuring participation and handling of conflicts that REDD+ implies. In this regard, a ‘fund’-based model seems favourable to ensure democratic accountability as well as national capacity buil­ding and avoidance of leakage. However, Tanzania’s public administration faces serious problems regarding transparency and managing of decentralisation. Thus, involving NGOs in the REDD+ Fund will help enhance openness. Moreover, learning from their experiences with engaging local com­munities in REDD+ is also helpful in making decentralisation effective.
