| Abstract: | Some of the major parameters of socioeconomic development among the pastoral Maasai of Tanzania during the past decade, 1970-1980, are described. The conclusion is essentially positive. Namely, that whereas external development efforts directed toward Tanzanian Maasai during the past decade leave much to be desired, their actual effects - while often wasteful and nonproductive - have in no way been disastrous and that Maasai pastoralism continues to prosper in Tanzania today, 'both as a vibrant and productive way of life as well as a still largely untapped resource for regional and national development'.
