dc.description Although some of public sectors have got strategic plans, there is high failure rate in terms of its applicability and utilization or implementation whereby they are remaining unimplemented if not forgotten due to shortage of funds, time constraints and political interests. This study aimed at assessing applicability of strategic plan in public sectors. A case study of Kinondoni Municipal Council. The first objective was about examining availability and utilization of strategic plan at Kinondoni municipal council. The second objective was about examining the effect of sectoral policies towards implementation of strategic plan at Kinondoni municipal council. The third objective was about finding out if budget is linked to strategic plan at Kinondoni municipal council. And the fourth objective was about suggesting ways of improving effective implementation of strategic plan in an organization. The researcher employed the case study design because of its flexibility in terms of data collection and analysis procedures this is due to the fact that in case study the area is specific. Sample size chosen was 70 respondents .Data collection methods used were questionnaire, face to face interview, and documentary review. Researcher used Judgemental and convenience sampling techniques. Heads of departments, sections, units and assistants, were involved in the study. The clear link between sectoral policies and strategic plan is not clear because municipal council is required to implement national policies regardless its participation in formulating those policies, also many policies are interfering strategic plans implementation due to political interests and so far shortage of fund to run both National policies and strategic plans. The study recommends that the council management should put more emphasis on implementation of strategic plan and ensure that they are implemented according to the approved annual work plan, time and within the budgeted amount so as to achieve the effectively implementation of strategic plan.
