The sub-project C07 will address the history of health policy as a central planning and infrastructuring feature of welfare policy in Tanzania and will investigate how health-policy planning became an important tool for future-making in the newly independent country from 1961 onwards. C07 will concentrate on health-policy planning and the creating of health infrastructures in Tanzania after independence from 1961 to the 1980s. A geographical focus will be the regional development in the Kilombero District, and particularly its health centre in Ifakara.
