Overcoming Resource Constraints: Key Challenges in Mobilising Resources in Public Health Projects in Temeke Municipality, Tanzania
Résumé
Public health projects are among those initiatives that have critical significance in improving the well-being of the community, particularly within resource-scarce regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, like Tanzania. Their success will depend on the availability of resources, which could either be lacking or present but not mobilised effectively. This paper sought to identify the major challenges in mobilising resources in public health projects in Temeke Municipality, Tanzania. The participants targeted included public health project officers and public health workers. Data collection methods included focus group discussions and interviews. The results indicate that limited financial resources, inefficient resource allocation, corruption and mismanagement, bureaucratic hurdles, low involvement of the private sector, economic constraints, and low community engagement and participation were the key challenges that affected resource mobilisation in public health projects in Temeke Municipality in Tanzania. Therefore, the study recommends that the government of the United Republic of Tanzania focus on funding high-priority projects in a very transparent way with simplified administrative procedures to allow for efficiency and it should encourage partnership with the private sector to allow for efficiency and ensure community involvement in contributing toward the successful completion of the projects. Keywords: Community engagement, financial constraints, public health projects, resource mobilisation, Tanzania. DOI : 10.7176/JEP/15-13-08 Publication date : December 30th 2024
