Ethical and Inclusive Leadership in Public Security: Insights from the Tanzania Police Force under Nyerere’s Governance Principles Maulid, Khadija J.; Zella, Adili Y. This study investigates the impact of ethical and inclusive leadership on productivity within the Tanzania Police Force (TPF), specifically focusing on the Temeke District. It is framed within the governance philosophy of Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, emphasizing principles such as human dignity, participatory leadership, equality, and collective accountability. The research aims to understand how inclusive leadership practices in public security institutions can enhance organizational effectiveness and foster community trust, vital for sustainable national development. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study combines quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions involving junior officers, senior commanders, and community stakeholders. This comprehensive methodology reveals both the opportunities and cultural constraints that influence the implementation of inclusive leadership across different ranks and contexts. The findings indicate that leadership styles promoting open communication, shared decision-making, gender sensitivity, and cultural inclusivity significantly enhance officer morale, collaboration, and overall productivity within the TPF. These practices resonate with Nyerere’s vision of bottom-up governance, contrasting with authoritarian approaches. However, the study also identifies significant barriers to realizing inclusive leadership, such as rigid bureaucratic structures, insufficient leadership development programs, entrenched gender biases, and limited civilian involvement in security planning. In light of these challenges, the research highlights emerging strategies among reform-minded leaders, including community-policing partnerships, ethics-based training, mentorship for female officers, and anonymous feedback mechanisms. The study asserts that fostering inclusive leadership within the TPF is crucial for promoting democratic accountability, institutional trust, and sustainable peace. It advocates for expanding national leadership development initiatives, policy revisions to incentivize ethical behavior, and integrating community perspectives in decision-making.

Graduates’ Digital Literacy and Employability in Tanzania: A Review of Required Competencies Mahundu, Fabian Gallus This study comprehensively reviewed the literature on the essential digital literacy skills required for graduates to enhance their employability in today's Tanzania labour market. The researcher obtained the articles from five academic databases. Snowballing was employed across the existing articles to find peer reviewed articles published in the last ten years. The key results indicate that there is a range of multi-layered digital competencies required by graduates who enter into their careers, including information literacy, communication, and collaboration literacy, media literacy, technical literacy, office productivity software proficiency as well as web application awareness such as social media platforms knowledge and also familiarity with data analysis tools. Furthermore, critical thinking should be fostered alongside problem-solving capabilities within digital environments - these are regarded as essential, where learners have to think critically while solving problems through technology-mediated learning. The review further established that most employers expect candidates with knowledge in these areas, but unfortunately, many graduates lack such knowledge; hence, this calls for curriculum changes to equip them appropriately for continuous learning towards skill building, making them more marketable than before. Joint efforts between different actors are vital to improve graduates’ digital capabilities, thereby creating a friendly employability environment. JOURNAL

The Impact of Client Service Charter on Corruption Reduction in Tanzania Public Sector: A Case of Kigamboni Municipal Council Evarist, Augustino; Sanga, Ben Despite the noble intentions behind the client service charter in public sector service delivery, there have been cases of power abuse and corruption by certain service providers. Favouritism, privileges, and biases have become the norm, and citizens no longer have equal access to social services. This research intended to find out the impact of client service charters on corruption reduction in Tanzania's public sector. It was guided by specific objectives including, assessing the level of implementation of the client service charter at Kigamboni Municipal Council, determining the extent to which client service charter is linked with anti-corruption movements in Kigamboni Municipal Council and examining the stakeholder’s perspectives on the strategies to combat corruption in public sector. The study employed a mixed methods research approach and case study research design, whereby, a total number of 64 respondents as a study sample were involved. Data was collected through interview and questionnaire methods. The study revealed that client service charter was implemented at a satisfactory rate since, both, service providers and clients were aware of the charters being implemented in the study area. Also, the study found that the client service charter provided an opportunity for equality in service accessibility in the study area, promoted responsiveness, transparency, and accountability, and assisted citizens in recognizing their rights. Finally, the study advocated public officials’ motivation, PCCB development and supply of shadow officials in public organizations and direct customer visits as means to combat corruption concerning client service charters. The study recommended the need for a policy framework that will guide standard setting and put in place systems for performance measures, tracking and evaluation. JOURNAL

Identifying people’s reactions and concerns during the 2022 international women’s day on twitter: sentiments analysis through hashtags Mahundu, Fabian This paper presents research results on people’s reactions and concerns during the 2022 International Women’s Day on Twitter as an electronic platform for amplifying women’s voices. We coded and analyzed the most common themes from unstructured tweet textual data using MAXQDA2022. The analysis was done based on the global slogan used to celebrate the Women’s Day in 2022 - “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow #IWD2022”. More than 5,000 tweet and retweet postings comprising 2022 IWD peoples’ sentiments, opinions, and comments were examined using content analysis approach. Six themes — surveillance, prevention, treatments, testing, and cure, symptoms and transmission, fear, and financial loss — were identified as key concerns during the 2022 IWD. Majority of the 676 Women’s Day-related tweets gathered were advocating about breaking the bias. The overall percentage of sentiments regarding the 676 International Women’s Day in Tanzania was positive by 44.9%, negative by 1.1% and neutral by 18.5%. Conference Proceedings
