| Abstract: | Since independence the Tanzanian Government has taken a series of measures, aimed at guiding the country's development in a socialist direction. In the rural sector these measures have been primarily concerned with encouragement of co-operative forms of production. This papers traces briefly the development of co-operative farming, up to the present stage of 'ujamaa villages'. It analyses the response of the peasant farmer to the Government policies at each stage, shows how deep-rooted the changes induced in the rural society have been, and describes the subsequent responses of the development planners to these changes: 1. Introduction - 2. Co-operative farming, 1961/67 - 3. Ujamaa villages: the objectives - 4. The strategy - 5. The farmer's response - 6. Obstacles and solutions (Land tenure; Livestock; Inheritance; Co-operative work organisation; Risk-spreading; Leadership and authority structure; Marriage and the family) - 7. Response of the planners (Economic planning; Technical backing and advice; Provision of finance; Political education and leadership training) - 8. Conclusion. Notes. |
