(Mzumbe University, 2015) Lyimo, Frank Jasper
Pay for performance is the project implemented in Tanzania with the aim to motivate health care workers to improve performance toward attainment of Millennium Development Goal number 4 and 5.The objective of evaluation study was to evaluate the contribution of Pay for Performance on improving child immunizations rate at Mkuranga health facilities. Cross-section evaluation study was conducted where 30 closed-ended questionnaires were provided to all 30 in charges of health facilities involved in the study, 8 in depth interviews were conducted purposively to key informants of the selected facilities. Baseline data of year 2010 before the project were compared with ones (2011-2014) after the project to see whether p4p motivate health workers in providing measles and polio zero vaccine. Proportion of bonus payment, number of training and supportive supervision were calculated and presented in figures and tables, thematic content analysis with the aid of Atlas ti software was used to assist analysis of recorded information. The results indicated that immunization rate in all health facilities involved were doubled from year 2011 to years 2014. Immunization rate shows that facilities with 3 number of supportive supervision had high rate of child immunization, other facilities with less training and bonus payment had almost similar trend with those with more training and bonus payments. The study revealed delays of bonus payment and worries about sustainability of the project. It was concluded that P4P play a big role in motivating health care workers in increasing rate of child immunized with polio zero and measles vaccine in Mkuranga health facilities. The increase might be associated with other factors rather than motivation trough bonus payment, training and supportive supervision alone. Other studies should be conducted to identify the real cause of this increase.
Determinants of credit access to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Tanzania : A case of Mbeya City
(Mzumbe University, 2013) Sarikiael, Borish
Small and medium enterprises (smes) are the main players in the economy of Tanzania and other developing countries. Smes contribute prominently to the economy through creating more employment opportunities, generating higher production volumes, increasing exports and introducing innovation and entrepreneurship skills. The dynamic role of smes in developing countries is like an engines through which the growth objectives of developing countries can be achieved. This study used a sample of 105 smes located in various areas of Mbeya city, it is from these smes data were obtained by using questionnaires, interview guides and documentary reviews. By using these methods of data collections, primary and secondary data were obtained to assess determinants of credit access and credit size by smes in Tanzania. Analysis of data was conducted by running ordered logistic model to assess which factors determine credit access and credit size by smes. The study found that credit access and credit size by smes are significantly determined by factors like collateral, sales size, business experience, level of education, and form of business ownership. Cross sectional data methodology was used, in this study, future studies can employ panel data designs that can allow to control for unobservable heterogeneity of individual smes. Moreover further research is needed to examine with non-parametric statistical techniques, such as with neural networks, the relationships of all the variables that this study examined, as well as to run causality tests, in order to investigate which variable or smes characteristic causes the other. For instance, does gender influence ownership of assets whereby ownership in turn influence access to credit?
