Nyerere Doctrine

The Nyerere Doctrine, named after Tanzanian leader Julius Nyerere, refers to his approach of promoting self-reliance and unity among African nations. He believed African countries should develop independently, focusing on local resources and policies, rather than relying heavily on foreign aid or influence. Nyerere emphasized the importance of African solidarity, cultural identity, and economic independence to foster stability and growth across the continent. This doctrine underlined the idea that true progress came from African-led initiatives tailored to local needs, rather than external interventions.
