    (Springer International Publishing, 2022) Magogo, F.P.M.; Kapinga, O.M.
    Purpose: This paper advances an understanding of ujamaa policy as a policy guideline that operated in various sectors of production. It informs that the implementation of the policy was extended to sectors other than agriculture. In achieving this goal there is one objective which is to demonstrate the relevance of ujamaa policy in the fisheries sector. Methodology: The production of this paper employed a qualitative approach which was based on the review of documentary publications by various scholars as well as the conduct of interviews and survey of archival documents. Findings: Findings revealed that the policy of ujamaa was not only implemented in agriculture but also in the fisheries sector where the government undertook several initiatives to promote the development of ujamaa fishing. Research Limitation: This study focused on the implementation of ujamaa policy in the fishing sector from the 1960s to 1980s. The study concentrated mainly in five districts of Mwanza region which represented more than thirty districts where ujamaa fishing villages were established. Practical Implication: The information generated from this study would inform scholars researching on ujamaa policy on the relevance of ujamaa in the fishing sector. Social Implication: The knowledge advanced in this study would help policy-makers to design policies that would match the country’s economy to avoid the weaknesses which led to the failure of ujamaa policy in the 1980s. Value: the uniqueness of this study lies in its attempt to divert the perception of most scholars by examining the relevance of ujamaa policy in fishing.
