Introduction
Tanzania has gone through two national visions:
First vision
was to achieve independence.
Every Tanzanian understood and accepted that goal, which was a basic human right.
However, having attained independence implied hard work hence the post independence catchword "
Uhuru
na
Kazi
".
That catchword was intended to exalt the importance of hard work in realizing the development which was championed in the struggle for independence

Cont…
The second
national vision was the
Arusha
Declaration.
It articulated a philosophy of socio-economic liberation based on
socialism and self-reliance
as the long-term national goal.
The Declaration was accepted by the majority of Tanzanians and galvanized them behind its realization.
Thus since February 1967, the development vision of Tanzania as well as the policies for social and economic transformation have been guided in the
Arusha
Declaration
.

Cont…
The
aim of the first two visions
was to achieve substantial progress in attaining higher standards of living as reflected in the various development plans.
Tanzania vowed to eradicate
poverty, ignorance and disease.
Although reasonable progress has been achieved in the fields of education and health, there was a concern that the momentum and the level of progress made in these areas has not been equal to expectations.

Impediments
of the Concept of National Development Visions

A weak and low capacity for economic management.
Failures in good governance and in the organization of production
Ineffective implementation
7
Key Points
The Government has consistently focused its development strategies on combating ignorance, diseases, and poverty.
Thus Tanzania today prides itself of and enjoys national unity, social cohesion, peace and stability largely as a result of the Declaration's core social values.
The declaration credibly sought to realize a set of fundamental moral, spiritual, ethical and civil values which stand the test of time.
