The Arusha Declaration Monument (Swahili: Mnara wa Azimio la Arusha) is a landmark monument and tourist attraction located in Kati ward in Arusha, Tanzania. It was unveiled in 1977 by the nation's ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party to commemorate ten years of the Arusha Declaration.[1] It is situated along Makongoro Road at the centre of the roundabout.
In April 2015, part of the monument was vandalised when one of its copper plaques was stolen.[2][3]
