Abstract

The introduction of the Ujamaa[1] policy was regarded as a step forward to the socio-political and economic changes in the post-independent period in Tanzania. Nyerere as the founder of the Ujamaa policy, in his side, stood firm to ensure the Ujamaa policy restore the personal dignity and the socio-economic welfare of Tanzanians which were lost during the colonial period. The Ujamaa policy was practiced almost two decades, and thus it could have brought the intended goals but it couldn’t in the way that many Tanzanians lost their hopes especially on the means which were used to operate the Ujamaa policy. The failure of the Ujamaa policy in the restoration of human dignity and socio-economic and political welfare have been noticed to be a cornerstone for its decline as argued by many scholars. But this article explores the main reasons which necessitated to the demise of the Ujamaa policy and opened the doors for modernization.
