Abstract:Tanzania is now consolidating the gains of Arusha and looking for the concrete policies that will bring 'socialism and self-reliance' to the peasants in the countryside and the workers and unemployed in the towns. The issue is how to implement the revolution. Here the more intractable problems lie, such as the method to combine rural development with socialism and local participation. The real problem is finding incentives for peasants to form or join ujamaa villages. Tribalism is not a major problem, but regional imbalance is and. the current five-year plan will accelerate this imbalance. Photo's.
