Uhuru Initiative for Policy Education (UIPE) advocates for a freer society through policy reforms and change of mindsets. Among our programs and projects includes: - ECONOMIC FREEDOM OF TANZANIA REPORT This annual report measures the degree to which the policies and institutions in Tanzania are supportive of economic freedom. Forty-two data points are used to construct a summary index and to measure the degree of economic freedom in five broad areas: 1. Size of Government: Expenditures, Taxes, and Enterprises; 2. Legal Structure and Security of Property Rights; 3. Access to Sound Money; 4. Freedom to Trade Internationally; 5. Regulation of Credit, Labor, and Business. - ECONOMIC FREEDOM OF TANZANIA CONFERENCE Our organization holds this annual conference which analyzes as well as debates the cornerstones of economic freedom which are personal choice, voluntary exchange coordinated by markets, freedom to enter and compete in markets, and protection of persons and their property from aggression by others. Invitees include Members of Parliament, government ministers, prominent businessmen and media representatives. - UHURU LEADERSHIP ACADEMY UIPE takes the best and the brightest pro-liberty students, recent graduates and young professionals from across Africa and give them training, resources, a network, and other tools with which they can effectively organize and make an impact in their universities, cities and regions. Among other undertakings, they organize events, help start and grow student groups, and seek out other potential leaders for liberty with the resources we provide. - UHURU LEADERSHIP FORUM Our organization host this annual leadership forum to brings together amazing freedom champions from this network to exchange ideas and share strategies. This event will be followed by a gala dinner serves as a fitting grand finale to this conference, celebrating heroes of the freedom movement and the principles that friends of UIPE are advancing around East Africa. - UHURU STUDENTS OUTREACH UIPE seeks to increase the understanding of ideas and policies based on the inalienable human rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Our major outreach project to universities cover among other things seminars on; Economic Freedom or freedom to provide for oneself, Social Freedom or freedom to choose how to live one’s life and Intellectual or Academic Freedom. - UHURU STUDENTS CONFERENCE For two days starting next year, hundreds of students and student leaders from around East Africa will descend into Dar es Salaam, to discuss and debate all of the available avenues for bringing about a freer future in the first ever Uhuru Students Conference (USC). Is social change best created outside of the political realm altogether through entrepreneurial innovations like those which make up the sharing economy? These are the discussions that will shape the future, and we are the generation having them. - IDEAS FOR A FREE SOCIETY CD Because of the limited access there is to texts that explore and explain the principles and foundations of a free society in many countries around the world our organization duplicates a mini-library on CD in English created by Network for A Free Society. Although these are fairly old fashioned technology they are relatively cheap to send and make texts available in countries where Internet connection maybe too slow or expensive to be widely useful and available. Some are short books, some are parts of books or articles. Authors include Bastiat, Smith, Mill, Mises, Hayek, Friedman and many more. - BOOK TRANSLATIONS & PUBLICATIONS UIPE arranges scholarly translations and publication of important books and articles that make the principles of free markets, individual liberty, limited government and peace available to new readerships in Tanzania and across Swahili speaking communities all over Africa.
