On attainment of juridical independence in 1961, Tanzania declared total war against three development problems: poverty, ignorance and disease. And on marking 48 years of independence in line with its Maendeleo Dialogue series, Tanzania Development Initiative Programme (TADIP) in collaboration with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) organized a one day dialogue to assess achievements attained in the fight against the country’s three declared development enemies.
