Abstract:
Entrepreneurial wealth creation approaches are regarded as crucial for successful
poverty relief globally. As a result, there have been demonstrated preferences to
adapt to the general entrepreneurial tendencies by individuals, leaders, and
governments, especially since the late 1980s to date. Whereas wealth creation
approaches for poverty relief started before the emergence of the
entrepreneurship concept, it is not clear whether the social and economic
stakeholders who led the advocacy for poverty relief approaches prior to the
emergence of the entrepreneurship concept were entrepreneurial in nature. To fill
this knowledge gap, the study uses a cross reflective systematic literature review
to explore whether Mwalimu Nyerere's wealth creation approach for poverty relief
was entrepreneurial in nature. The study's findings establish dimensions of general
entrepreneurial tendencies. Thus, based on the findings of the study, it is
concluded that Mwalimu Nyerere's wealth creation approaches for poverty relief
through the Arusha Declaration (1967) were entrepreneurial in nature.
