Abstract

This study would not have been accomplished without the technical and moral assistance of many persons. Appreciations arc extended to all those who, in one way or another contributed to the success of this study. In the first place, I am very grateful to my supervisor, Dr. E. E. Chingonikaya, of Development Studies Institute (DSI) for his tireless guidance, constructive advice, overall encouragement and assistance throughout the research part of my M.A (Rural Development Degree Programme). Without his educational ideas and moral support this study would not have been accomplished. My appreciation also goes to my beloved parents Mr. Gasper Tarimo and Mrs. Priscilla Gasper ,who laid down the foundation of my education. I am very grateful for their encouragement, moral support and prayers throughout the period of my studies. I also acknowledge my lovely husband Mr. Mengi Togwa who provided both financial and moral support throughout the research part of this study. Special thanks go to my beloved sons Joshua Mengi and Joel Mengi who accepted my stay in the classroom and the being far from them to late hours and weekends in order to accomplish this study. Lastly, but not less important, my appreciation goes to the staff and colleagues in Development Studies Institute (DSI) for their constant encouragement throughout the course of this study.
