dc.description The study on impacts of CSR on peasant communities of Tanzania was conducted in Bagamoyo district in Kiwangwa involving 100 respondents who participated in the study.The study based on a general objective; to find out the impacts of CSR towards community development of peasant communities of Bagamoyo in Tanzania and also on three specific objectives which were; to establish how CSR contributes economically to the peasant community; to examine the contribution of CSR towards social welfare of the peasant communities and; to find out the contribution of CSR towards environment sustainability in Bagamoyo. A Survey research design was used engaging both qualitative and quantitative approaches in data collection aided by questionnaires, interviews, FGDs and observations Purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from the sample in relation to the study variables. The collected data was analysed and presented using graphs and percentage computations as well as explanations in paragraphs to expound on the interpretations of the findings. The study found out that business organisations in Bagamoyo were not realistically engaging in CSR as it is required of them. The organisations neither practically engaged in Economic boost activities nor did they engage in social welfare improvement programs. However, CSR was found to be impactful through environmental sustainability activities. The study concluded that there is no CSR done by the business organization in economic development activities and social welfare improvement of the peasants but only in environmental sustainability. Bagamoyo lacks the contribution of CSR as there is low development and low standards of living partly due to failure of CSR by business organisations. Recommendations of the study are that; business organization should engage in general economic development programs through assisting the peasants in their production activities to enhance development mind the social welfare of the community and maintain the involvement in environment sustainability programs to avoid irreversible effects of environmental destruction and, for the government to amend the policy on CSR.
