Driving a car into, out of or around the city, or commuting in one of the Tanzanian capital's jam-packed dala-dalas,  is anything but a peaceful enterprise -- although the people of Dar are exceptionally friendly. Dar Rapid Transit (DART) is a dream now rising from the drawing board. Listen to this audio.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During South Africa's Apartheid years, black families were routinely evicted from their land; forced to trade their labour for a small plot to grow crops, or raise chickens and cows. Women and girls fared the worst. Finding a place of their own to live was virtually impossible. Beatings, murders, and sexual violence were rampant. Sixteen years after the collapse of Apartheid, life in South Africa is as difficult as it’s ever been for women. Jean Parker reports.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Agriculture is the backbone of Tanzania’s life and economy. Three quarters of her people are small-scale, peasant farmers. Earning a living is tough.  Soils are exhausted; water is scarce.  Improved seed is an inaccessible luxury. Concrete policies that empower small-scale, rural farmers--particularly women, who produce most of Tanzania’s food--need to be boldly implemented. GPM contributor Josephat Mwanzi reports from Dar es Salaam, in the wake of a forum on African agriculture.]]></description>
