Abstract
The success of donor strategies for alleviating rural poverty depends on the recipient government's willingness to pursue certain domestic policies. This article examines how Tanzanian government actions in regard to agriculture, popular participation, administrative decentralisation, and the maintenance of rural social services contradicted the policy premises of employment‐oriented and basic needs strategies. This incongruity accounts for the widespread failure of rural development assistance projects in Tanzania during the 1970s.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
