1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Establishment of the Institute of Rural Development Planning resulted from a series of evaluations of the decentralized planning process and plan implementation undertaken by Prime Minister’s Office with assistance of a UNDP/FAO team of Consultants from 1975 to 1979. This was due to the fact that the Tanzania Government assigns a particular important role to regional planning and rural development. In a predominantly rural economy, there are crucial elements which require detailed consideration and proper mastering of the techniques and skills required if realistic and effective rural development plans are to be constructed and properly implemented.

In the shortterm the constraint of required manpower was met through experts obtained both from international agencies and on bilateral basis. It was felt that this was certainly an interim measure, and at the earliest opportunity, Tanzania’s own regional planning capacity must be build up to carry through the preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the development plans and programmes and to produce improved versions of these plans at periodic intervals as necessary.

Given the urgency of the situation, the Government decided to immediately start a training programme by using the facilities of existing institutions. Various alternatives were examined and finally, in 1978, the University of Dar es Salaam, in particular the faculty of Agriculture, was directed to make arrangements for a

11

smooth and early start of the programme. UNDP was requested and accepted to assist the programme for a period of three years through the provisions of international experts and training equipment. To that end, Project Document URT/78/006 was signed on 10th

August, 1978, as a basis of cooperation between URT and UNDP. The UN Department for Technical Cooperation was selected as the implementing agency in collaboration with FAO.

In February 1979, the Government decided to establish the Institute of Rural Development Planning to meet the basic requirements of regional and rural development planning in the country by Act of Parliament No. 8 of 1980 as a body corporate and an important national centre for providing training, research and consultancy services in the field of rural development planning.

Since then IRDP has been shaping destinies in planning and research methodologies focusing on the future prosperity of its students. As a result, graduates with IRDP qualifications have made valued contributions in their fields. They are a proof of our unique approach of learning and training methodologies.

The IRDP has been enrolling students both fresh from school and inservice whereby for the past five years the Institute of Rural Development Planning (IRDP) in totality has enrolled 5085 Students in various courses offered by the Institute.

The institute also has made initiatives to build new structures such as library, academic block and

12

multipurpose hall, which enable the institute to enroll more students in the academic year 2009/2010.

4. Student Residence

Introduction Given its core task of ensuring quality education, and given the challenges presented to the Institute by the rapid

86


expansion of student enrollment, the Institute has found it necessary to establish an instrument that will shoulder some of its subsidiary responsibilities including facilitating provision of accommodation to students, and hence the establishment of Mipango Students Accommodation Bureau (MISAB) which is a Semi – autonomous body within the Institute’s administrative structure.

The main task of the bureau is to source and secure from Landlords, accommodation premises to be used as student hostels whose rooms are then sublet to needy students.

Role of MISABThe Institute of Rural Development Planning does not have a mandated responsibility of providing accommodation for its students. However, in view of the problem of securing convenient student accommodation within Dodoma Municipality at reasonable student rates, the Institute has established a semi – autonomous Bureau for the purpose of assisting students to secure such accommodation.

Prospective IRDP students (tenants) are therefore urged to try to secure accommodation privately before their arrival at Dodoma in the first place, but those who find it difficult to secure accommodation

87

privately should indicate clearly in their application to join the Institute that they would need to be considered by the accommodation bureau for allocation in the limited vacancies in MISAB hostels.

MISAB will take liberty of contracting people who own hostels and negotiate rental charges.

Types of Hostel Accommodation Available to Students

There are three types of accommodation available through MISAB:

(i) Hostels owned by IRDP

(ii) Hostels rented by MISAB

(iii) Hostels under private landlords who are willing to let IRDP students but whose renting agreements are made between the landlords and individual students. MISAB in this case acts as a clearing house between the contracting parties.

Criteria used in allocating accommodation available to MISAB:

(i) Foreign students.(ii) Students with physical disabilities.(iii) First year students who are currently residing

away from Dodoma Municipality.88

(iv) Continuing female students, currently residing away from Dodoma Municipality.

(v) Continuing male students residing away from Dodoma Municipality.

(vi) Any other students.

Given the order of priority above, MISAB sorts the names of students according to these categories and proceeds with the allocation process. It should be noted that information on application requests for accommodation should be received well before students arrive at the Institute.

5. Catering ServicesCatering services are available. There is a kitchen and dining hall with a total sitting capacity of 70 people.

6. Health ServicesPublic health service from Dodoma General and Mirembe Hospitals are available to students registered at the Institute. However, each student is required to meet all medical expenses as laid down by the government policy. It is therefore, advisable that each student should have some spare money to spend on medical treatment.

7. Library ServicesThe Institute maintains a wellstocked library, which holds approximately 13,000 volumes and pamphlets. Most of the textbooks cover relevant area of

89

specialization of the institute’s major objectives, namely, Training, Research and Consultancy. There are other reading materials, research papers miscellaneous reports, maps, local daily and weekly newspapers and some back issues of periodicals. Therefore, the collection has reading materials for the entire community. The library admits external readers (not borrowers) from around Dodoma.

Traditional library reader services offered include borrowing, library instruction service given to new comers (students) on arrival to provide them with the necessary expertise to make intelligent use of the library resources and services independently. Sharing of library resources on interlibrary loan or exchange programmes with willing partners is encouraged.

Books are catalogued according to the second edition of the AngloAmerican Cataloguing Rules (AACR 2) and Classification is based on the Dewey decimal classification 19th edition.
