villagisation การใช้
- In Tanzania in the 1970s, the government pursued a policy of enforced villagisation under Operation Vijiji in order to promote collective farming.
- Villagisation also solved the practical and financial problems associated with a further, massive expansion of the Pipeline programme, and the removal of people from their land hugely assisted the enaction of Swynnerton Plan.
- While some of these villages were to protect loyalist Kikuyu, " most were little more than concentration camps to punish Mau Mau sympathizers . " The villagisation programme was the " coup de gr鈉e " for Mau Mau.
- By 1974 ujaama programs and the IDA ( International Development Association ) worked hand in hand; while villagisation organized new villages to farm, the IDA financed projects to educate farmers to grow alternate crops and granted loans to farmers with added credit to small farmers ( Whitaker 206 ).
- The government's public relations officer, Granville Roberts, presented villagisation as a good opportunity for rehabilitation, particularly of women and children, but it was, in fact, first and foremost designed to break Mau Mau and protect loyalist Kikuyu, a fact reflected in the extremely limited resources made available to the Rehabilitation and Community Development Department.
- The second stage had three main planks : a large military-sweep of Nairobi leading to the internment of tens of thousands of the city's suspected Mau Mau members and sympathisers ( see " Operation Anvil " below ); the enacting of major agrarian reform ( the Swynnerton Plan ); and the institution of a vast villagisation programme for more than a million rural Kikuyu ( see below ).
