Abstract

Citizens’ participation is deemed key in the planning and budgeting of developmental activities, but grassroots participation in such endeavors has proven problematic. Against such a backdrop, this study examined citizens’ participation in planning and budgeting processes in local governments. It explores the nature and level of citizens’ participation in planning and budgeting, as well as challenges impeding their participation in the same KTC. The study employed a qualitative stakeholder analysis that involved a sum of 42 interviewees. 24 participated in 3 FGDs involving women, youth, and farmers, and 18 as Key Informants purposively picked among Councillors, WDC members, CSO leaders, and KTC officials with knowledge of planning and budgeting processes. A desk review was employed to triangulate FGDs and KIIs findings. The data garnered in this study underwent thematic content analysis and was descriptively discussed. The study unveils that space for local participation in KTC is diminutive and most of the Kibaha inhabitants neither have a proper understanding of their Council’s planning and budgeting processes nor the ability to informally participate in the same. Equally, procedures and structures for community engagement for effective citizens’ participation in the monitoring and evaluating of development interventions hardly exist. Such a situation constrains the promotion of effective, responsive, and responsible government at the local level. In light of the weaknesses highlighted, this article calls for deliberate efforts to build capacities and create space for citizen participation to meet the objective of decentralization and fast-track improved public service delivery in Tanzania.

Abstract

Community participation in development projects has been sustained rhetoric despite the rise of NGOs, which are regarded as efficient in affording participatory development practices. This article examines the nature and level of community participation in classroom construction and water supply projects implemented in partnership with NGOs in Tanzania. It examines community participation at different stages of the project cycle, the costs and benefits of motivational effect on community members' participation, the contribution of the sense of ownership and sustenance on community participation, as well as how community participation in development projects can be enhanced. Face-to-face interviews with 122 participants and documentary reviews meant to triangulate the information garnered from the interviews were used to address the questions that the study assigned itself to. The study confirmed the incongruity between the betwixt theory and practice of community development in NGO-funded development projects, depicting nagging expert-driven elements in NGO endeavors. The level of community participation is low (mainly evident in the implementation stage) and is informed by lucid calculation of the costs and benefits of a project, the sense of community ownership and sustenance, as well as the presence of a platform for community members to engage. As such, it is recommended that NGOs and other development agencies incorporate the needs of different categories of people from the start to the end of the project cycle, empower community members to participate, and provide genuine platforms for them to do so.

Abstract

This study assesses the relationship between servant leadership practices and job satisfaction in public organizations in Tanzania, with a focus on Posts Corporation Headquarters (TPCH). It employed a descriptive survey and correlational design involving 150 respondents. Quantitative data were analyzed using the statistical program IBM SPSS Statistics 25, while qualitative data were examined using content analysis. The findings indicate that servant leadership has been thoroughly practiced at TPCH, as indicated by a mean score of 3.63 and a standard deviation of 0.943. The relationship between characteristics of servant leadership and job satisfaction is highly significant and positive (rp values ranging from 0.62 to 0.69, p 0.001). Regression analysis establishes that servant leadership strongly predicts employee job satisfaction (B=0.694, t=6.722, p 0.000). The study further reveals key factors of servant leadership contributing to improved job satisfaction, including leaders leveraging their positions for the good of their subordinates, providing support and affirmation, sharing organizational plans and objectives, demonstrating openness in listening, and prioritizing employee needs. Therefore, the study recommends that TPCH leadership and stakeholders work assiduously to strengthen a culture of servant leadership to sustain and improve job satisfaction.
