Community
development refers to those measure and efforts that enables people to
recognize their own abilities identify problems and use the available resources
and opportunity for income and build better life on self-reliance basic.
The
district provides services all people who need to acquire services from
district since the targeted is to serve the community to improve living
standard of people at Nanyumbu district through the identifying and utilizing
natural postures for their own.
Agriculture
is the predominating economic sector in Nanyumbu district about 90% of the
agriculture cutup is by small holder’s farmers. The Nanyumbu district defends
on farming and destructs in generally as the main source of income of which
contribution about 75% of the total income. Food crops growth include cassava,
maize. A cash crop includes cashew nuts and sesame. Sesame yield of all crops
in the district and ward and village are much compared to national yield of
crops productivity and consequently raise the living standard of the people in
the district especially of our poor farmers
Livestock
keeping is very low regulating into advice effect on the status of the people
one person consumer less than a little of meal less than kilo of meat and egg
per year. The estimated live suffice population are cattle 1655 sheep 1107
hence 9, 36,752 goats 20,308 and 970 dogs Present yield of all livestock
production in the district are very low compared to national.
One
presence of cooperative mane ting in Nanyumbu district is important because
most of the members are too poor to their own transport storage facilities or even
to influence prices of their communities especially cashew nut which is the
major cash crop the objective of having the cooperative union in the ward and
village are promote the economic and social welfare of its numbers and to
market their commodity more efficiently than the Mudale increase accessibility
to credit and education to its members and at the same times services the need
of their consumers effectively. There are several constraints faced cooperative
to the district and ward and village there include lace of effective capital
both is funds and capital. Requirement educational training of personal lack of
capital has led not only insufficient business but also to little seven
expansion this had led to failure of most of these societies to tap economics
of scale
This
is another important sources of revenue to district is also potential source too poverty
alleviation aiming the people district was a total 524 shop 420 restaurant 1620
kiosks the district and revenue has collection through various organization
however services delivery by the sector is hampered by shortage of sounds and
local of transport for supervision generally the ward and village increase the
number of traders including big cashew nut traders and training of business
community on business skills and management and also increase animal inspection
of business.
Since
over 90% of the habitants of Nanyumbu district are employed in agriculture this
means that the ward and district and village generally own revenue base relies
on this source about 90% of the ward. Own provides is from agriculture the
other 30% of income is business increases however there source are highly
unless to the communities to their expectations as the result of the ward and
village has to poly not only on its own revenue sources. Apart from there is
sources of revenue the ward and village also expects to recover subsidies from
the central government and some other find from development parties
The
district has a total number of 93 health facilities of which four (43) of them
are Health Centre and 50 dispensaries that are owned by government and provide
institution. However health performance is adversely affected by limited sands
this has resulted into in adequate supply of drugs materials, shortage of
qualities and skilled presumed and into inadequate poor incentive for the
existing staff.

failed to visit various community members for provision of lessons concerning
social life.

faced, solution to the problems faced, new things learned, gaps in the theory
and relevance of attachment. As the things that I learned during field

Work
environment was good to some extent although there was financial problem our
chief supervisor used to motivate us by providing breakfast and some incentives
at the end of the month. Good relationship between students and supervisors and
among students themselves was a matter of consideration we normally
collaborated in each task assigned to us.
During
field activities performed at my field training some activities were more
challenging since financial activities being implemented through information
technology system which include computer. High tax all these are system used in
finance
Lack
of experience to my field, so I was given some task which was above of my
capability performed.
Poor
resources like cars, computers and internet connection through that we have
fail to visit various community members for provision of various lessons
concerning social life.
Ignorant
of source community members so they were brings some ceases which was not
concerned with the officer I was taking my told.
Lack
of patient to the village member
Poor timing of field
attachment
Through
the knowledge which I grasp from the college I was succeed to perform those
task I was given by the head of department of community development.
Even
though we have poor resources to reach various community members so community
development staff was decided to use phone in order to listen various problems
which were facing community concerned.
We
were provide education to the community members which cases can be brought to Nanyumbu
district and which cases should be not brought to the ward.
We
were educate people to engage in entrepreneurship that can help them to improve
their lives
Patient
help I to overcome some problems faced in the field attachment.
I learned and get how to educate people about
entrepreneurship
To learn how to negotiate the various cases found in
the community
To know how to register different groups of people
example elders and disable people
Increasing of confident
and understanding on how community development officer operate in our community
I learned that patient
is very important in order to successful.
The gaps in the theory
field programs it exist simply because all the things which we learned in the
college some does not exist and some of them exists since the program or
sociology system that we learned at the college all are not applicable due to
the system set by the institute so that situation is one of the gaps in the
theory.
Nanyumbu district have
given chance to student to join in that organization to their field in order to
get many things that may help them to increase their knowledge and skills with
their training and in order to help other people in the community.
The field attachment
training program should be improved in order to attract student to practice so
as make them being good community development officer within the society.
The field attachment
training help I some people come to get advice from me other ways those people
since advice.

work on time.
3.4
Recommendation
3.4.1
Recommendation to Stella Maris Mtwara
-
More time should be allocated to the
field attachment training at least two months or four months than three weeks
are not enough to make students to understand works more practically.
-
To get information which will improving the relations between
university, field organization and students also will help to know the developing of the
student during the field and will be easily to solve some problems in any
community.
-
The students must be given financial
support that would help them during field attachment training to reach limited
areas and met with other people.
·
Students should give more time in order
to accomplish their field work so that they can learn and occur more skills and
knowledge in data collection.
·
During field time, supervisors should
visit their students in order to make them competent to what needed in the
work.
·
Field reports collected should be
utilized fully in order to have an idea on what going on in the community and
brings positive change by solving challenges that occurred.
