The Arusha Declaration of 1967 marks the start of state-led industrialization efforts in the post-independent United Republic of Tanzania, and embodies the national ambition that the government set out with: to reduce the country’s heavy dependence on agriculture and steer it towards becoming an industry-led economy. Since then, the United Republic of Tanzania has enacted a wide range of industrial development strategies and national plans to promote economic development, job growth and poverty alleviation and continues to strive to promote industrialization. Although there has been stable economic growth between 2000 and 2014, the economy continues to rely heavily on agriculture and low value-added manufacturing. Sustaining future GDP growth rates, therefore, remains a challenge (see figure 4.1).
