- Description:
- This article traces the evolution of corruption as a political issue in Tanzania and evaluates the efforts of the Mkapa administration to control it. Corruptionis conceptualized as embedded in societal, economic and power relations. However, many of the anti-corruption efforts are part of liberal reforms that are based on the assumption that corruption is an individual act or personal misuse of public office for private gain. These liberal reforms are, at best, of limited value because they fail to take into account much of the dynamics that support corruption in Tanzania. While the Mkapa administration has taken partially successful steps to control corruption, these efforts have not fundamentally undermined the supporting environment for corruption in the country.

- This paper examines the role communication and education can play in the crusade against the spread of AIDS in Africa. It appreciates the 'technical' nature of the information to be disseminated and recognizes the need for audience, channel and message segmentation. The paper suggests specific aspects of the AIDS problem at which communication and educational efforts should be directed. It advocates the use of multiple but mutually reinforcing channels of communication mass media and interpersonal networks. It recommends that communication and educational efforts against the spread of AIDS should be community-based, encouraging the active support, involvement and participation of local communities. Finally, the paper recognizes the need for a team-effort approach involving communicators, instructional material designers, health personnel, and the public at large.
