As much of the initial design never came to fruition over the past 40 years, government offices and embassies have resisted moving offices to Dodoma.

Dodoma was envisaged as a nation-building project to cement a newly post-colonial independence identity and direction in Tanzania, and is similar to projects in [[Nigeria]] ([[Abuja]]), [[Côte d'Ivoire]] ([[Yamoussoukro]]), [[Botswana]] ([[Gaborone]]), [[Malawi]] ([[Lilongwe]]) and [[Mauritania]] ([[Nouakchott]]).<ref name=":1" />
