  • ABSTRACT Colonialism and the Development of the Tanzanian
    ABSTRACT Colonialism and the Development of the Tanzanian Health System Harrison Chase Gottlich Director: Dr. Sara Alexander This thesis examines Colonialism’s lasting effects on the formation of the Tanzanian Healthcare system. Identified key characteristics of the Colonial Health Model include regional specialization, direct taxation, hospital-based care, and physician leadership. The effects of these characteristics are evaluated considering post-independence domestic policies and international health movements, including the 1978 Alma Ata Declaration and the 1993 World Bank Report. A finding of this thesis is that an overreliance on the Colonial Health model has stifled the development of the Tanzanian Healthcare System. Three historically informed recommendations are submitted to support the development of a preventive-focused health model more in line with the 1967 Arusha Declaration and the 1969-1974 Second Tanzanian Development Plan.

  • Ujamaa Urbanism: Tanga Tanzania
    UJAMAA URBANISM: TANGA TANZANIA The exhibition at the Nordic Pavilion at la Biennale di Venezia has been titled “FORMS OF FREEDOM: African Independence and Nordic Models”. The exhibition will explore and document how modern Nordic architecture was an integral part of Nordic aid to East Africa in the 1960s and 1970s. The resulting architecture is of a scope and quality that has not previously been comprehensively studied or exhibited. One of the projects in the exhibition is Masterplan for Tanga Intro: African Independence and Nordic Models The liberation of Tanzania, Kenya and Zambia in the 1960s coincided with the founding of state development aid in the Nordic countries, where there was widespread belief that the social democratic model could be exported, translated, and used for nation-building, modernization and welfare in Africa. The leaders of the new African states wanted partners without a murky colonial past, and established solid bonds with the Nordic countries, built on a mutual belief in progress. During a few intense years in the 60s and 70s, Nordic architects contributed to the rapid process of modernization in this part of Africa. These young architects found themselves in the field between building freedom and finding freedom: Building freedom denotes nation-building through city planning, infrastructure and industry, and institutions for education, health, and state bureaucracy, whereas finding freedom points at the modernist, experimental free area that emerged from the encounter between Nordic aid and African nation-building. Ujamaa Urbanism: Tanga Tanzania “Planning should embody the ideology of the country”. Tanga Master Plan 1975-95. Main Report, Dar es Salaam, 1975 Established as the Tanzanian variant of socialist ideology, Ujamaa was intended to transform a tribal society into an egalitarian, modern welfare society.
