| Abstract: | Tanzania's third Five Year Development Plan (1976-1981) takes as a basis the experience and lessons gained from the previous two five year plans (1964-1969 and 1969-1974). Furthermore, all three five year plans are pert of a Fifteen Year Long Term Perspective Plan (1964-1980). The author compares the objectives of the various plans and the results. A number of characteristics distinguish the third Five Year Plan from its predecessors: it was the first plan to be prepared by Tanzanians and not by foreign experts; it explicitly recognises the fact that to be self-reliant agricultural production must be systematic, efficient and reliable; it recognises the need for industrial development in order to harness self-reliance; it specifically directs ell the regions in Tanzania to draw up their own integrated and comprehensive regional development programes. One of the problems Tanzania faces in implementing planning for self-reliance is the disproportionate growth of the non-productive sector (administration) in relation to agriculture and industry (15% versus 3.4% between 1970 and 1976).
