This dissertation enhancement grant supports a US graduate student, Kimberly P. Pfeifer, working under the guidance of Dr. Goran Hyden, Professor of Political Science at the University of Florida, to do field research in Tanzania. The project will study the Fumba, Chakwa, Nungwi and Mkwajuni communities in Zanzibar to determine how they use their ethnic identities to influence the development and implementation of sustainable development and resource management policies created by Tanzanian state and nongovernmental organizations. The results of this study should provide valuable information on ways policy-making organizations can incorporate the concerns of local communities into their strategies and policies to address global change problems. The principal methods used will be interviews, focus group sessions, and archival research. Staff members of the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Dar es Salaam will collaborate with Ms. Pfeifer on this project. This study will make an important contribution to the understanding of how different ethnic groups contribute to the success or failure of national policies on conservation and resource distribution and management. The grant will also provide support to enable a promising student to establish a strong, independent research career. Funding for this project is being provided by the Division of International Programs and by the Division of Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research.

这项论文增强赠款支持美国研究生金伯利·P·菲佛（Kimberly P. Pfeifer），在佛罗里达大学政治学教授戈兰·海登（Goran Hyden）博士的指导下，在坦桑尼亚进行实地研究。 该项目将研究桑给巴尔的fumba，Chakwa，Nungwi和Mkwajuni社区，以确定他们如何利用其种族认同来影响坦桑尼亚国家和非政府组织制定的可持续发展和资源管理政策的发展和实施。 这项研究的结果应提供有关政策制定组织如何将当地社区的关注纳入其战略和政策以解决全球变化问题的宝贵信息。 所使用的主要方法将是访谈，焦点小组会议和档案研究。 达累斯萨拉姆大学发展研究所的工作人员将与Pfeifer女士合作就该项目进行合作。 这项研究将对理解不同种族在保护和资源分配和管理方面的成功或失败方面做出重要贡献。 该赠款还将提供支持，以使有前途的学生能够建立强大的独立研究职业。 该项目的资金由国际计划部以及社会，行为和经济研究部提供。
