Abstract

Pan-Africanism has been a significant ideological movement in Africa since the mid-20th century, advocating for unity and solidarity among African peoples. A survey research approach was employed, utilising a structured questionnaire distributed across Tanzanian universities and community centers to gather data from both students and local residents. The findings indicate that while there is a significant interest in Pan-Africanism among young Tanzanians (75% of respondents), practical implementation remains challenging due to cultural differences and lack of resources. Despite these challenges, the study reveals potential avenues for fostering greater engagement with Pan-African ideals through educational programmes and cross-cultural initiatives. Policy makers should consider integrating Pan-Africanism into national curricula and promoting intercultural dialogue to enhance understanding and acceptance of this ideology.
