Abstract

The study assesses the influence of the dimensions of agency’s capacities to the performance in generating own sources revenues in the government agencies in Tanzania. The study used institutional theory and contingency theory, an explanatory case study strategy together with survey methods to assess the influence of government agencies’ capacities to the performance in generating own sources' revenues. Data were collected by administering 80 questionnaires to agency’s senior officers who were members of the management team and staff at large. The government agencies that were purposively selected to be part of this study were National Housing and Building Research Agency (NHBRA), Agency for Development of Educational Management (ADEM) and Taasisi ya Sanaa na Utamaduni Bagamoyo (TaSUBa).The findings of this study revealed that planning and development, human resource, and infrastructure capacity significantly and positively influence the performance of the agency in generating own source revenues. However, financial capacity and good governance were found to have insignificant influence. This might be contributed by the fact that there were ineffective governance practices in term of ineffective committees, poor policies and procedures as it was revealed in descriptive analysis. It is concluded that the critical capacities which strongly and positively influence the performance of the agency in generating own source revenues are planning and development capacity, human resource capacity, and infrastructure capacity. The study recommends that these government agencies must find more sources of revenue, consider seriously the issue of motivation to staff, operate competitively, have complex and good long term strategic plans and aim at implementing them. The implication of the study findings is that it contributes knowledge to the administrative actors and also policy and regulation makers such as the parliament of Tanzania, the office of the CAG and ministry for finance to form policies on the five dimensions of capacity that will enable government agencies to improve and grow

Estimation of Soil Moisture Thresholds for Aggravation of Global Terrestrial Carbon Uptake Losses

“…For climate zones, Beck et al. (2020) presented a new global map of the Köppen‐Geiger climate classification at an unprecedented 1 km resolution for the present day. Here, we reclassified the 30 climate zones for growing seasons and resampled the data to make them suitable for our study (Table 2, Figure 7a).…”

Scalable Virtual Network Video-Optimizer for Adaptive Real-Time Video Transmission in 5G Networks

“…Media content is split into a sequence of small segments, which basically are different versions of the original segment but encoded with different bit rates and quality. Another representative case of an adaptive bit-rate solution for real-time video communications is the open-source project WebRTC [18], which has been specifically developed to support realtime voice and video communications in the browser [19], [20]. WebRTC uses the Google Congestion Control (GCC) algorithm to handle congestion in real-time communications over UDP (or TCP just if UDP ports are blocked), but performance details and congestion handling are completely hidden from the owners of the video streaming applications.…”

A Comprehensive Survey on the Current Trends in Improvising the Renewable Energy Incorporated Global Power System Market

“…As per the Global Status Report 2021, despite of the COVID pandemic, China has managed to expand its online renewable capacity in 2020 than the whole world till 2013. While China leads in Bio power, Wind, Solar PV& Hydro power capacity, United States tops in Geothermal with Spain leading in Concentrating Solar thermal power (CSP) capacity [5].…”
