Abstract:
This project brief describes the lessons learned from one of the IICD-supported projects in the sector Governance. It is intended for practitioners in the field who would like to learn from the experience of this project as well as organisations that would like to implement similar systems. With around half of the population living below the poverty line, Tanzania is on the lowest ranks of UNDP’s Human Development Index. In an effort to promote productivity and attract foreign investment, the government has been pursuing a policy of
liberalisation and non-intervention as well as a strong focus on decentralisation for the last twenty years. The project “District Computerisation Kinondoni” is an outcome of the National Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Roundtable workshop organised by
IICD and held in Dar es Salaam, the largest city of the country, in July 1998. A study previous to this Roundtable revealed that most of the functions carried out by the District commissioner's office were ineffective and inefficient. Weaknesses included limited transparency due to a lack of information.
