Abstract

The paper contains a detailed explication of Tanzania's Education for Self-Reliance (ESR) policy. The policy is then appraised using an eclectic policy analysis model in order to ascertain its status as a public policy. Its successes and shortcomings are then assessed before recommendations for improving the policymaking and implementation style are advanced. Generally the paper reveals that ESR policy is still a political platitude. It requires clear interpretation, explicit delineation of roles for each concerned party, mobilization and use of requisite resources, and transformation of the social fabric before it can successfully be adopted and institutionalized.
