dc.description.abstractArumeru District Council has been studied as part of the so called Base Line Project, with the aim of describing a number of local councils in Tanzania and to understand their functioning and challenges. The district of Arumeru has a population of appr. 340,000 and encircles the Arusha Municipal Council completely. The district is well endowed with resources, even water, but the infrastructure is not sufficient to allow the full utilisation of them. The financial condition of the council is weak, and the offices and the equipment available are poor. The general standard of the staff is not satisfactory, especially as regards formal competence. Tax income is low, and this is partly due to an incident a few years ago, when the Sagga people launched a strong protest against an increase of the development levy. But there are also some more general problems. Firstly, the private economy is poor and thus the population has difficulties in managing to pay taxes, especially development levy. Secondly, poor roads and a shortage of vehicles make the exercise of tax collection cumbersome and alarmingly costly. The district is heavily dependent upon donor funds, and most services in the district are delivered unsatisfactorily.
