This paper analyzes the challenges and potential of the livestock sector in theKilimanjaro region of Tanzania using fi eld research conducted in Maua village, which issituated on the southern slope of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The Maua people keep every livestock in ahutch, which should suggest to policy makers the magnitude of the problems they and otherpastoralists face with the shift from a grazing to a form of feedlot system. Indeed, smallholderlivestock farmers face major problems related to feeding, marketing, and breeding.The Maua people cope with these problems in various ways. The residues of from squeezingboiled bananas to produce the local beer are used as concentrates to supplement grain fed tocattle, and they collect many kinds of roughage such as maize leaves and banana leaves toreplace roughage from grazing. The high cost of transporting livestock from lower to higherland also represents a major issue. The Maua people face two options in marketing livestock;one is to sell to a local butcher, and the other is to sell to other farmers. The limited marketconstitutes the most severe problem and requires further examination.The introduction of a pig project operated by the women, referred to as KIWAKUKI, representsthe most intriguing development in response to these problems. This project expandedwidely in the studied area, and this paper discusses three effects the project had on those livingin the village: supporting victims of HIV/AIDS, empowering women, and spreading thepractice of pig keeping. This project placed women, who organized new groups for keepinganother type of livestock and for providing mutual help, in new leadership roles. We can seethe potential for alternative forms of organization in such new leadership arrangements.
