This work is about ‘Community Participation in Decentralized Management of
Health Services in Tanzania: A Case Study of Moshi Rural District’. The issue of
community participation in facility health budget planning has gained profound
importance all over the world, particularly in resource-poor situations where
governments have often failed to provide adequate public-sector services for their
community members. The aim of this dissertation was to provide the experience of
implementing community participation and the challenges of promoting it in the
context Moshi Rural District.
A sample size of 96 respondents was employed in this study. Semi-structured
questionnaires were administered and analysis of policy and legislative documents
was also undertaken. Quantitative data were computed to produce frequencies and
cross tabulations,. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used for
management of data and analysis. In this study the theories pertaining to
participatory theory was established to familiarize the reader with paradigms,
frameworks and approaches in the field of community participation.
The findings from the study reveal that community participation in the decentralized
management of health services in Moshi Rural District requires supportive policies
and laws, since there is limited participatory, none-transparent and none-answerable
to the community members. The study recommends that, the community members
should stand on themselves so as to supervise their health heed as of their own and
the government should find appropriate ways of engaging the community members
in the planning processes. |
