Health Facility Governing Committees (HFGCs) play a vital role in overseeing health services delivery in the primary health care system. However, despite their existence in Tanzania hiccups remain reported on the quality of health services delivered in primary health care facilities. The latter poses a question on the performance of HFGCs in overseeing the services delivery at the primary health facilities.This study sought to assess the perceived performance of the HFGCs and the associated factors in overseeing the healthcare services delivery at the primary health facilities in Tanzania. A cross-sectional study was conducted in five regions of Tanzania: Mwanza, Dar Es Salaam, Kilimanjaro, Pwani, and Arusha. A self-administered questionnaire containing structured questions was used to gather information from randomly selected 574 HFGC members. Data were analyzed descriptively and the binary logistic regression model was used to determine factors associated with the perceived performance. Half (50.52%) of the HFGCs members perceived themselves to have good performance. Furthermore, only 51.05% of all the participants had
