- W2184023721 abstract "Ever since the early 1990s, Tanzania’s government has embarked upon ambitious and farreaching reform programs to improve the socioeconomic condition of the country. Among them was the development of anti-corruption strategies and the local government reform program. Overall, these reform programs were expected to improve good governance through reformed and autonomous local institutions. As such, this paper provides a detailed analysis of two reform initiatives, namely, anti-corruption strategies and LGRP based on their main policy goals as well as impacts on the overall institutional performance of local institutions in Tanzania. Drawing upon review of some empirical studies, the paper discusses what is seen as major structural concerns in the workings of these reforms in their entirety. This paper builds on the proposition that, unless someone addresses “institutional shortfalls” within the greater system of governance, any policy or reform initiative aimed at improving good governance will ultimately fail to deliver. 1.0 Introduction and Background Information Ever since the early 1990s, Tanzania’s government has embarked upon ambitious and farreaching reform programs to improve the socioeconomic condition of the country. One of these reforms was the local government reform program (LGRP), a remarkable effort introduced in 2000 to shift the locus of development initiatives to local levels of governance. The LGRP was part of the perceived “second wave” of decentralization reforms which have been increasingly implemented in a number of developing nations. In most of these countries, however, the implementation of these broad-based reform strategies is associated with good governance, that is, a particular set of initiatives to strengthen local institutions with the objective of making the system of governance more accountable, more open and transparent, and more democratic. In general, and also within the context of this paper, good governance increasingly stresses the importance of building local ownership and creating a more efficient and effective system of governance capable of addressing local needs. As a whole, the LGRP was expected to improve quality, access and equitable delivery of public services—particularly to the poor. However, review of a variety of literature and empirical works indicates that, over its two decades of operation, decentralization reforms have, in actual fact, not realized most of its objectives, especially in relation to service delivery to local people. As a matter of fact, despite the existence of a number of watchdog institutions in Tanzania, such as the Minister of State in charge of Good Governance, the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB), the Commission for Human Rights and Good Governance (CHRGG) and" @default.
