Abstract: | One of the most controversial yet everexpanding commitments to international development has been Western volunteer programmes. Since 1961, these programmes have expanded into the largest and most vulnerable form of mass peace-time exodus of personnel into the far-off reaches of the developing world. Correspondingly, there has been increasing criticism of the volunteer and the volunteer agencies An attempt is made to evaluate these criticisms through discussing, in critical terms, the motivation, value and role of these agencies. The critique centers on the example of East Africa in general and Tanzania, where in 1968 the role of the expatriate within the context of Tanzania socialism and self-reliance was reassessed, in particular. Ref., appendices: 1. Volunteers-Eastern and Central Africa (January 1, 1968); 2. Volunteers-Eastern and Central Africa (September 30, 1967). |
