Tanzania's Ujamaa policy
In the late 1960s Tanzania experimented with a new form of socialism called Ujamaa.
In the late 1960s Tanzania's first post-independence president, the charismatic Julius Nyerere, believed that endemic poverty in rural areas could only be addressed if peasant farmers relocated to larger villagers and worked collectively. It was part of a new experimental form of socialism, known as Ujamaa.
