摘要:
Those familiar with Kenya since independence will know of the importance of the Harambee system. The term Harambee has come to mean the provision of goods, usually social infrastructure, through the voluntary cooperation of members of the community. Provision of public goods in this way is an important alternative to the more normal method, provision through tax finance. Here we compare these two methods of provision with a view towards determining, first, the circumstances under which Harambee might be more effective and, second, what policies might be pursued to best utilize this system.
