The informal sector and structural adjustment – strengthening collective coping mechanisms in Tanzania
Structural adjustment programmes have affected Tanzania more than most countries, and although the informal sector has grown in numbers of businesses, swelled by those who have lost their public sector jobs, the position of most urban small traders has become more precarious as publicservices crumble and frantic land-grabbing threatens their right to trade in a particular locality. As the centralized government has withdrawn from many activities, together with the protection it afforded the urban poor, small self-help organizations have come together spontaneously to provide
their members with the very basics of health insurance, representation or land rights. This article describes some of these indigenous organizations, as well as the project which is providing advice and training to meet some of their limited objectives.
