“…It was also one of the most significant factors hindering the effectiveness of the records management programmes at KMC, which in turn affected organisational performance of the KMC. Similarly, Bakare et al (2016) found that Nigerian LGAs have ineffective records management programme due to lack of such a records management policy. Furthermore, Njeru et al (2017) found that the Parliamentary Service Commission of Kenya (PSC) had no records management programme in place due to lack of a policy governing such records.…”

This study assessed the current state of records management practices at the Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for good service delivery. Specifically, the study examined the state of the existing records management programme and identified the challenges encountered in managing records. The study employed a mixed methods research design that had recourse to both quantitative and qualitative approaches for data collection and analysis. Its sample of 64 respondents was selected from a population of 124 respondents using purposive sampling for top management officials and records and simple random sampling for other KMC employees comprising action officers and Human Resources Officers (HROs). Triangulation of data collection methods was employed using questionnaires, interviews, observations and documentary review. The key findings show that the KMC lacked an effective records management programme to ensure effective records management practices. Records management programme lacks institutional legal and regulatory framework, hence the largely ineffective records management practices at the KMC. Inevitably, the council contended with several challenges including lack of security measures, and lack of skills and lack of guidance from the Records and Archives Management Department (RAMD). Thus, the study recommends that the KMC should improve its records management programme by establishing legal frameworks, training staff and prioritising the records management unit.

“…Furthermore, the IRMT (2012) found that "most government departments still depend on paper-based records to support most of their daily tasks". Similarly, a study by Bakare and Issa (2014) on the "assessment of records management practice in selected local government Councils in Ogun State, Nigeria" also established that there was a prevalence of paper as the medium for recording and conveying information in the selected local government councils. While municipalities still use paper based records and have limited technology with high levels of computer illiteracy Phiri (2016) states that electronic records are becoming the predominant format in South African universities.…”

This article assesses records management in municipalities with adverse audit opinions in the Limpopo province, South Africa. Audit reports issued by the Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) yearly indicate that poor recordkeeping is one of the factors contributing to adverse audit opinions in the public sector. The high level of corruption and maladministration, and lack of accountability and transparency in municipalities have become endemic and are a cause for concern in South Africa. Access to relevant and comprehensive information from records is essential for municipalities to perform their constitutional duties effectively. For this study, a quantitative research approach was employed using the survey design. Six municipalities in Limpopo that had adverse audit outcomes in the auditor-general’s report of 2015/2016 were targeted. A total of 92 questionnaires were distributed to registry staff employed in the municipalities and 86 of these were completed and returned. Findings revealed that the selected municipalities in the province face numerous challenges relating to records management practices, including staff shortages, lack of training and poor storage facilities. The study recommends that municipalities’ management and political office-bearers take all the necessary steps to prioritise records management by employing more people. The study further recommends that more universities in South Africa should provide formal qualifications in records management, and government officials should make funding available for records management practices.

“…Padahal selain kegiatan rutin tersebut, ada sisi lain yang harus lebih diperhatikan yaitu berbagai faktor bencana yang mungkin akan terjadi, baik yang disebabkan oleh ulah tangan manusia maupun bencana alam yang akan mengancam eksistensi dan kontinuitas sumber-sumber informasi tersebut. Sehingga ada satu penyataan bahwa bencana yang mengancam perpustakaan merupakan suatu peristiwa yang mempunyai dampak akan terhapusnya secara tiba-tiba semua catatan dan rekaman (rekod) dokumen sehingga tidak bisa diakses dan digunakan lagi (Bakare & Abioye, 2016).…”
