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.
