    (Mzumbe University, 2000) Mahigi Bella; Mbughuni Anne; Ryen Anne; Stokken Anne Marie
    The report focuses on the present changes at the Tanzanian labour market after implementation of the Structural Adjustment Programs. In particular, focus is directed towards the impact on women of the retrenchment processes that are implemented as part of the Civil Service Reform. The fieldwork was conducted in Kibaha and Morogoro and consists of qualitative interviews with retrenched women and with managers in the two local governments referred. The data points to general effects of retrenchment to women in general, but also to the need to differentiate between women. The data also highlights special issues regarding local government. As conclusion the study invites to more research on gender roles, women’s economic activities and to social implications of this present political and economic context. Within The Gender Cluster priority is given to research with a gender perspective.
