Reflections on NGOs in Tanzania: What We Are, What We Are Not, and What We Ought to Be
NGOs and social activists run the risk of following the policy directions favoured by foreign donor agencies to the detriment of their own organisational and moral capacity to act in solidarity with those whose interests they claim to support. With specific reference to Tanzania, the author argues that while NGOs readily take action to protect their own interests, they do not consistently stand up for the basic freedoms of working people. In a un…

The democracy debate in Africa: Tanzania
The current debate on democracy in Africa (see ROAPE no.49) is stimulating but many views are rooted in liberalism, justify it in terms of ‘development’ or see it as an absolute good. Little attempt is made to situate it in the historical processes of people in struggle, resulting in a mistrust of the masses. Applying these strictures to the recently officially‐launched debate on the party system in Tanzania, it is argued that the very way the de…
