Arusha Declaration
The Arusha Declaration was a statement of policy issued by Julius Nyerere and the ruling party TANU at Arusha in February 1967. It committed Tanzania to ujamaa, a form of African socialism based on self-reliance and village communities, nationalised banks, major firms and plantations, and barred party and state leaders from holding shares or second salaries. It shaped Tanzanian policy until the economic reforms of the mid-1980s.
