Abstract

In 1996 Tanzania launched the Sustainable Industrial Development Policy (SIDP), 1996–2020, to succeed the basic industrial strategy (BIS), 1975–95. The BIS was Tanzania’s first long-term industrial development strategy since independence in 1961. However, the government had already began to pay serious attention to industrial development during the second fiveyear development plan (1969–74), when it designated ten towns as urban ‘growth centres’ to which ‘suitable new factories and employment opportunities will be diverted’ (URT, 1969). The expiry of the BIS in 1995, and the economic crisis facing the country, necessitated the formulation of a new policy that would take cognizance of the emerging macroeconomic environment. This paper presents the salient features of the new policy, paying special attention to the implementation mechanism, which is a major departure from the past.
