This study contributes to the developing countries' public policy discourse by linking
outcomes of the past and present urban housing policies in Tanzania to both the
organisational structures and work methods of the state and to environmental factors.
By tracing the historical development of urban housing policy formulation and
implementation in Tanzania, the study provides a comprehensive and systematic
analysis of the factors responsible for the poor performance of urban housing policies
in Tanzania.
The study is also important because it locates the policy development within the
general literature of urbanisation and housing in the developing countries and within
theoretical debates relating to policy explanation in these countries. The study
documents a detailed case study of a specific project (the National Sites and Services
and Squatter Upgrading Project - NSSP) aimed at addressing urban housing problems
in Tanzania and uses this to identify a range of politico-administrative issues which
affect policy formulation and implementation in Tanzania. In pursuing this task the
study adds to the understanding of the factors affecting policy performance in
developing countries experiencing constraints and contextual variables similar to those
of Tanzania.
