Abstract

The neighbouring countries of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania are collectively referred to as East Africa. Culturally similar and with Kiswahili as their lingua franca, they share a common history as former British colonies. All achieved national independence in the early 1960s and formed the East African community until 1977. In those decades, Tanzania and Kenya became respectively icons of socialist and capitalist models of development, often prompting their levels and rates of development to be compared.
