Industrialisation and Rural Development in the Global South: The Case of Tanzania
Abstract
The Industrialization in the Global South has long history since 20th century with intensive
lack of unplanned management, inefficient institutions and lack of governmentally
administrative commitment; making rural people delay to become industrialized for
decades now. Lessons learned so far indicates that most of the global south rural
industrialization has been focusing on small Agro based industry, forest based industry,
mineral basedindustry, Traditional based industry, Diary based industry, Renewable
Energy based Industry which need strong strategic support from different stakeholders so
as to make people in rural regions participate in the industrialization process as active
actors and not as spectators for sustainable rural industrial development. This paper focus
at revealing the appropriate planning practices for making rural regions inclusive in the
industrialization process. It is based on extensive literature review.
