We would be happy if you would like to contribute something to our Habari magazine! We cordially invite you to submit your application topic- or project-related contributions.
Theme
The next issue (04/2025) will focus on the topic of ‘diaspora’:
Through remittances, knowledge transfer and its own development initiatives, the Tanzanian diaspora is making a decisive contribution to reducing global inequalities. Diasporic networks create opportunities for economic participation, empower marginalised groups and promote social change – whether through start-up support, social innovation, gender equality, human rights work or support for local communities. In this way, the diaspora contributes significantly to the implementation of UN Sustainable Development Goal 10 – Reduced Inequalities.
- What is the significance of social (knowledge, values, skills, prospects) or financial remittances for political and economic development in the country of origin?
- What role does the Tanzanian diaspora play in development cooperation between Germany and Tanzania?
- How can partnerships, development actors and diaspora organisations work together more effectively to strengthen human rights, gender equality, education, health and economic participation in Tanzania?
- What opportunities arise or are lost when the diaspora moves between two worlds? What challenges arise in terms of legitimacy and participation?
- What ideas, expectations and images shape the relationships and partnership structures between Germany and Tanzania?
Are you part of the Tanzanian diaspora in Germany or the German diaspora in Tanzania, or are you involved in research or work on this topic? Then write an article for HABARI magazine! We invite authors, academics, activists, journalists, civil society actors and members of the diaspora to submit articles that highlight the potential of the Tanzanian diaspora for development, partnership and a more equitable global future.
