DIFFUSION DES IDEOLOGIES POLITIQUES DANS LES ESPACES DE DISCUSSIONS DE RUES IVOIRIENS APRÈS LE 19 SEPTEMBRE 2002. Jeux d’idéologies en période de conflit armé

The Tanzanian manufacturing sector has been performing poorly ( low and decl ining labour producti vi ties and widespread
capaci ty underutilization) especially in the period since the late 1970s ta the mid 1980s. · The main hypothesis of our study is that absence of purposeful and adequate technological change, efforts and capabilities contributed partially ta that poor performance.
This study has quantitatively established that very little or no technological change ( Hick neutral technical change) took place and did not contribute significantly ta output variation in the Tanzanian manufacturing sector, And qualitatively it has been found that in the metals and engineering firms and in the educational and technological institut ions, in Tanzania ,. there were little or no serious technological efforts and thus very low technological capabilities persisted despite the massive technology imports which took place in the 1970s. Since technological_ change, efforts and capabili ties are very important factors of economic growth, their absence affected growth negatively. Therefore, this study make some few recommendations for improving the technological development and the efficient indus trial performance in Tanzania viz: localisation policies be effectively monitored, the scarce resources be concentrated in few R & D institutions or else the door be opened ta foreign investors, the suppl y of funds and skilled manpower ta technological activi ties be increased and policies conducive ta technological development be provided.
