dc.description The purpose of the study was to find out factors that determine performance of CHF in Tanzania. Clients of health care services in Newala, Mtwara Region were interviewed face to face using structured interview with open ended questions. Literature review focused on the factors affecting implementation of community health care financing in developing world including Tanzania. The study revealed a number of challenges that hinder scheme membership in Tanzania. Some of the barriers include potential members’ lack of information regarding scheme benefit package, low quality health care services, mistrust of fund’s management by the community and community’s failure to see rationale to insure due to lower quality health care services, higher premiums and lower user fees. The study concludes with recommendations for creating an enabling environment that will support extension of the scheme to the rural poor majority in Tanzania.
