Abstract

Pan-Africanism is a movement advocating for unity among African peoples across the continent and diaspora. In Tanzania, this concept has evolved to address contemporary challenges such as economic disparities, cultural preservation, and political integration. The study employs a qualitative analysis of existing literature on Pan-Africanism in Tanzania, focusing on historical documents, scholarly articles, and policy statements. Ethnographic insights from Tanzanian communities are also integrated to provide context. The theoretical framework underscores the need for a nuanced approach that integrates cultural heritage with contemporary challenges to enhance Pan-Africanism's relevance in Tanzanian society. Recommendations include the development of educational initiatives that highlight the contributions of African diaspora and traditional African cultures, alongside policies that support economic integration and cultural preservation efforts.
