performance and accountability of local government in Zanzibar (LGs) through their roles
and services to the society, whereby the selected case study was urban/west district at
Unguja island in Zanzibar , The specific objectives aimed to examine the roles or functions ,
challenges and find out the extent to which the Urban - West local governments are
accountable/responsible to the society of their local areas.
Methods of data collection were exploratory descriptive qualitative and some quantitative
approaches were adopted which included questionnaire survey, interview and panel
discussion. Data collected were analyzed by a computer programme (Statistical Package for
Social Scientist (SPSS) Version 16. Analytical tools used to analyze data were Likert Scale
Weighting, Multiple Response Choice Analysis and Simple statistics.
The results of this current study indicated that the Zanzibar local government authorities
play the roles of formulating, coordinating and supervising the implementation of central
government plans and services to the local areas, organizing the commercial, industrial and
social development activities along the district or local authorities, ensuring the collection
and proper utilization of revenue of particular areas. Findings also revealed that, challenges
such as lack of reliable sources of funds, lack of qualified and skilled person face Zanzibar
