Abstract: | Brief outline of the background to Tanzania's ideology of ujamaa, followed by a case study of the implementation of ujamaa principles in the Morogoro District during the first phase of collectivisation (1969/73) and the problems faced by the implementers. Successively describes the problems of planning for village self-reliance (planning process, levels of plan fulfillment, peasants' acceptance of the ujamaa mode of production), the issue of productivity versus equity, the politics of resource allocation (political versus technical criteria) and the various groups involved (politico-administrative, populistic, professional, ujamaa), and concludes by examining the principle of grassroots democracy in the context of planning discipline (compulsion versus persuasion, the ambivalence of the central policy, policy changes 1972/77).
