| Abstract: | With independence, the Tanzanian government was quite determined to ensure that the country would rapidly become self-reliant and dynamic. It envisaged the maintenance of a moderately high growth rate in which a general structuring of the economy would be achieved. The present paper evaluates the extent to which, in its first independence decade, such objectives were realised.
