Decentralization and administrative discretion in Tanzania
Increased administrative discretion for human resource and financial management is commonly seen as a key component of efficient service delivery. However, the directive attitude of some central government officials in Tanzania undermines the administrative discretion of local councils to implement approved local plans and budgets. Using a case study of two local councils in Tanzania, this study investigated the influence of decentralization on a…
Perceiving Corruption in Tanzania
The difficulties associated with conventional corruption measurements as employed in comparative country evaluations concern the accuracy they provide in assessing and explaining corruption. These conventional measures regard corruption as a one-dimensional phenomenon (quantified by a single score) which varies in incidence but not in form between countries. Such measures frequently associate corruption with bribery. But this one-dimensional comp…
The Long Waiting for Relocating Capital City in Tanzania
Many cities in Africa have their legacy to the colonial masters’ influences. This can be seen in the design of many capital cities created along the coastal areas as transmission centers to dispatch primary raw materials in exchange for manufactured products. Some countries realized the need to establish or relocate their capital cities according to their needs, Tanzania being one of them. However, putting this idea into practice has not been wit…
The Demand and Supply Sides of Accountability in Local Government Authorities in Tanzania
Accountability and transparency have been on the top of lists of the agenda about local governance. Unfortunately, a significant number of studies have tended to view accountability through the traditional model of public administration (supply side of accountability) at the expense of the demand side of accountability. Based on the experience with decentralization in Tanzania for the past four decades, this article argues that both the demand an…
Decentralisation, Local Governance and Path Dependency Theory
Tanzania has embarked on several radical measures to restructure its economy and governance structures, including local governments. For more than four decades, Tanzania has been striving relentlessly for effective decentralisation measures, yet the progress has been slow. The country has passed through several phases of decentralisation, with each phase inheriting some criticised characteristics that have been difficult to dismantle in the succe…
Developing learning diaries for action research on healthcare management in Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda
Action research (AR) can be an effective form of ‘on the job’ training. However, it is critical that AR cycles can be appropriately recorded in order to contribute to reflection and learning. One form of recording is for coresearchers to keep a diary. We found no previous literature describing the use of diaries in AR in sub-Saharan Africa. We therefore use this paper to reflect on how diaries were used by district health management teams in the …
