Book excerpt: This study is concerned with a particular policy which is important to countries faced with underdevelopment. This policy was initiated in Tanzania in 1967 with the aim of inducing the rural population to "live and work together for the good of all". A decade later, virtually all scattered rural Tanzanians were living in villages and carrying on at least some activity collectively. The objectives are to slow the movement to towns, increase production, permit the introduction of new technology, increase peasant per capita income, reverse the trend towards greater inequality, provide better social services, encourage self-reliance, and reverse the trend towards centralization. One of the major difficulties in implementation was the frequent failure to analyse sufficiently the nature of peasant assessment of costs and benefits to be derived from compliance. The remunerative systems often discourage rather than encourage work.

Book excerpt: Political and economic development in the rural areas is a major preoccupation of Tanzania. "Ujamaa" is a Tanzanian model of development which aims at introducing social, cultural, political and economic change in the rural areas in which about 93% of the population of Tanzania resides. The aim of this study is to describe "Ujamaa" as a model of development; to analyze critically its implementation problems; to compare Ujamaa model with current models of community development; and to propose certain modifications on the basis of principles and theories of community development. The discussion of Tanzania's historical background provides a framework of the development of "Ujamaa" model. The colonial model of rural transformation denied the peasants' participation in determining the nature of their development, and it was therefore opposed by the peasants. Their opposition to forced agricultural changes gave rise to political awareness among the peasants during the colonial era. At independence Tanzania realised that the colonial model of ruraI transformation had a shortcoming. It attempted to establish political institutions at the village level to enable the peasants to participate in the process of their social, cultural, political and economic development. The creation of the Village Development Committees and the ten-cell house system gave the peasants political power to control their village matters while the role of the government was to facilitate the process of local decision-making. During the post-independence era Tanzania has been preoccupied by the development of "Ujamaa". The introduction of Ujamaa model has great impact on the life of the peasants. The rural population has been reorganized in Ujamaa villages in response to the implementation of rural development policy. In order to effectively facilitate the development of Ujamaa village's political autonomy, the government administration was decentralized in 1972 to provide regional autonomy. A decentralized decision-making structure has been set up; the Regional Development Committee, District Development Commitee and the Village Development Committee. The study has also analyzed the implementation problems of the Ujamaa model in comparison with the Chinese model of development. The study has identified four main problems; ideological orientation, Ujamaa ideology and the concept of development, preparatory organization of the Ujamaa village, and leadership at the village level. Furthermore, the Ujamaa model has been compared with current models of community development. This thesis indicates that both the Ujamaa model and community development models are similar in their goals; that is to encourage the growth of local political autonomy which enables the local people to be responsible for their social, cultural, political and economic development. The study concludes by making a number of recommendations of which two are the most important: (1) The development of local leadership should be emphasized to ensure self-reliance in local human resources, and (2) Politicization and democratization of the peasants should also be emphasized in order to ensure the growth of ujamaa.

Download or read book African Socialism in Postcolonial Tanzania written by Priya Lal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-12 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a wide range of oral and written sources, this book tells the story of Tanzania's socialist experiment: the ujamaa villagization initiative of 1967-75. Inaugurated shortly after independence, ujamaa ('familyhood' in Swahili) both invoked established socialist themes and departed from the existing global repertoire of development policy, seeking to reorganize the Tanzanian countryside into communal villages to achieve national development. Priya Lal investigates how Tanzanian leaders and rural people creatively envisioned ujamaa and documents how villagization unfolded on the ground, without affixing the project to a trajectory of inevitable failure. By forging an empirically rich and conceptually nuanced account of ujamaa, African Socialism in Postcolonial Tanzania restores a sense of possibility and process to the early years of African independence, refines prevailing theories of nation building and development, and expands our understanding of the 1960s and 70s world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study developed from a keen interest in the politics of contemporary Africa, especially in regard to the seemingly intractable problem of political dependence with its economic correlate of underdevelopment. The most interesting contemporary work on African political economy explores the link between economic underdevelopment and political dependence. Development and independence are seen as moving in the same direction in the long run, even if in the short run there appear to be inherent contradictions in their immediate needs in a concrete situation. The focus of this work emphasizes the internal contradictions’ (such as exist between the bureaucracy and the political leadership) within Tanzania rather than the external linkages.
Download or read book Surrogates of the State written by Michael Jennings and published by Kumarian Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Uses an instructive historical event to show how NGOs with good intentions are sometimes capable of supporting harmful government policies * A fascinating picture of the players involved in misguided development program In Surrogates of the State Jennings explores the delicate relationship between development NGOs and the states they work in using his exhaustive and illuminating case study of Tanzania in the 1960s and 70s. During that time Tanzania instituted the rural socialist Ujamaa program, resulting in the forced resettlement of 6 million people to villages, transforming the map of the country. Rather than questioning this policy, NGOs working in the area (as typified by Oxfam) became surrogates of the state, helping to carry out the program. Jennings argues that the NGO community was seduced by its own interpretations of what Ujamaa represented, and was consequently blinded to the dark realities of resettlement. Bound by ideological chains of their own forging, organizations that in other contexts have criticized over-mighty states and the use of overt force, NGOs committed themselves fully to Tanzania and its development policy. Through this study, the book uncovers not just the story of development in Tanzania in this critical period, but the history of the NGO itself. And in doing so, raises questions about the future direction of this institution which has become so prominent in international development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after the Arusha Declaration, this book sets out to reevaluate one of the most important roots of Tanzania's Ujamaa Socialism: The Ruvuma Development Association. Based on a basic-democratic movement of young politicized farmers, this organization not only brought together up to 18 cooperative villages in southwestern Tanzania, it also became the inspiration for President Nyerere to put his vision of a modern socialist society built on the image of the traditional extended family into a concrete development model on national scale. Led by a participative understanding of empirical research, this explorative study has analyzed the local history of Ujamaa in three case study villages within Ruvuma. Through employing a mix of expert and narrative interviews, as well as group interviews and villager questionnaires, the study sheds new light on the local perceptions of Ujamaa history and communal development, as well as on the interrelations between local and national scale on Tanzania's path of development. It identifies the recent farmers' groups (vikundi) as some of the most important heirs to the Nation's socialist ideology and concludes that in many aspects "the smell of Ujamaa is still there".
