The Library, Documentation and Information Department of the African Studies Centre has compiled this web dossier on development issues in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to coincide with the first East Africa Day. The conference, that was held in Leiden on 22 June 2005, was organized by the African Studies Centre (ASC) in Leiden in cooperation with the Development Policy Review Network (DPRN).
The dossier begins with background information about the East Africa Day and then provides a list of titles on two specific themes: (1) policies for rural poverty reduction in East Africa, and (2) land issues in East Africa. The title section is based on the ASC library's collection and contains titles of books and articles published in the last ten years. Each title links directly to the corresponding record in the online catalogue that provides details about the title as well as abstracts of articles and edited works. The dossier concludes with a number of web resources.

Background
The Development Policy Review Network (DPRN) is a CERES-facilitated network of scholars, policy makers and practitioners from development-oriented institutions and organizations in the Netherlands and the Dutch-speaking areas of Belgium. With financial support from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DPRN has planned 13 regional meetings in the period 2005-2007 with the aim of stimulating contacts between and creating networks of development-oriented scholars, policy makers and practitioners active in the same geographical regions. The African Studies Centre, being a member of DPRN, has agreed to organize three regional meetings: on East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda), West Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo), and the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Sudan).
In line with DPRN’s objectives, the aims of the East Africa Day 2005 are fourfold:
- to facilitate and stimulate an exchange of information and experiences among a wide variety of experts on the East Africa region including researchers, policy makers and practitioners from academic institutions, ministries, co-financing agencies, embassies (East African embassies in the Netherlands and vice versa, thematic co-financing agencies, consultants and representatives from diasporas in the Netherlands;
- to present an overview of ‘who is who’ and ‘who does what’ in the region;
- to present an overview of current relevant political, economic, social and cultural issues and developments in the region; and
- to stimulate discussion on and provide insight into the challenges development policies and practice offer, in particular the relevance of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), for the research agenda in the region and the extent to which this matches with the agenda, expectations and plans of researchers.
At the East Africa Day 2005 two themes were discussed in more detail regarding the above-mentioned objectives: (1) policies for rural poverty reduction in East Africa, and (2) land issues in East Africa.
Two recent evaluation reports by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs form the basis for the session on ‘Donor Policies and Rural Poverty Reduction’. One of these reports deals with Dutch support for local governance in Uganda (2003) and the other with Dutch aid to two (former) District Development Programmes in Tanzania (2004). Although written from different perspectives, both studies evaluate programmes supported by the Netherlands that were aimed at rural poverty reduction.
The conclusions of both reports raise interesting questions for further discussion between policy makers, development practitioners and researchers.
- How can poverty analysis and monitoring become an integral part of policy and programme formulation and implementation, and what role can (local) universities and researchers play in this respect?
- To what extent do sector-wide approaches (SWAPs) aimed at rural poverty reduction create better opportunities for integrating micro, meso and macro linkages in, for instance, local governance and agriculture, and how can (academic) research contribute insights in this field?
- How do the roles of the state and the private sector relate to each other in rural development programmes? Should the economic dimension of rural development be made more explicit in policies and programmes, and how can this be done? What role can research play in clarifying these issues?
Based on evidence from Kenya, several aspects of the land question (land conflicts, land policies, land conservation, etc.), their relationships with rural development efforts, and their implications for donor policies in the area of rural development were considered during the session on ‘Land policies and rural development programmes’. The following two questions were the main issues under discussion:
- To what extent are land policies taken into account in the formulation of donor policies and in the implementation of rural development programmes? What constraints do donors face in this respect?
- How and to what extent can land issues become part of policy and programme formulation and implementation, and what role can (local) universities and researchers play in this respect?
