| dc.description | The purpose of this paper is to sketch in with a broad sweep
the leading features of social and economic progress and policies in
East Africa in the last decade. The paper begins with an analysis of
the socio-economic structure of East African countries during the
colonial period, stressing the structure of the economies, the racial
stratification of the economy and the society, the main features of
development policies, and regional economic cooperation. Major changes
in the post-independence period are discusscd against the background of
colonial heritage. The discussion focusses on the various efforts made
to accelerate Africanisation in both the public and private sectors of
the East African economies. This is followed by an analysis of economic
growth in the post-independence period, including a discussion of economic
change and diversification, both internally and with respect to foreign
trade, aid and investment. There is then a discussion of the changing
strategies and development policies in the three countries in the first
decade of independence. After a description of the evolution of East
African economic unity, the concluding section of the paper takes a
look at the priorities for the seventies; the need for rapid economic
growth accompanied by an equitable distribution of the fruits of growth.
The outlines of a strategy designed to achieve these objectives are
spelled out. | |
