Efficient governments do encourage, support and promote innovations. Such realisation
has necessitated some governments to establish strategic organisations to facilitate
some of its innovation mandates. Some innovations have been developed by
government co-operative supporting organisations (GCSOs) in Tanzania but only a few
have been disseminated to end users. This has prompted questioning of the
appropriateness of the innovations dissemination approaches used by such GCSOs.
Research Method: The case study research design was used whereby five cases were
picked. Primary data were collected using key informants‟ (KIs) interviews, focus
groups discussion (FGDs) and documentary review. A qualitative research approach
was adopted. Data were analysed using content analysis. The Atlas.ti computer
software facilitated analysis of the data. The results show that albeit the existence of
several innovations dissemination approaches, there were no mechanisms to
institutionalise the effective ones. Concurrently, the approaches applied largely left out
the primary co-operative societies (PCSos) treating them as submissive receivers of
innovations. Moreover, numerous setbacks including perceived unwillingness by
GCSOs executives to prioritise and allocate available resources for innovations,
inadequate incentives and resources deficit were constraining inclusive innovations dissemination efforts. The study covered GCSOs only as they have been receiving direct government resources to support among other things innovation activities unlike other member-based and private organisations operating in Tanzania. |
