  • Revenue Studies for 8 Lgas in Kigoma
    REVENUE STUDIES FOR EIGHT LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES IN KIGOMA REGION LOCAL INVESTMENT CLIMATE (LIC) APRIL 10, 2017 Dr.Victor George Dr. Alex Kira Dr. Elia John Mr. Sunga Mabeja, Mr. Salum Ntomola, Miss Claudia Maswe Miss Jesca Kitogoro and Mr. Daudi Mwasantaja i Executive Summary This study was conducted in order to draw detailed evidence to eight Kigoma Local Government Authorities (LGAs) namely; Kigoma Municipal Council, Kigoma District Council, Uvinza District Council, Kasulu District Council, Kasulu Town Council, Buhigwe District Council, Kibondo District Council, and Kakonko District Council on the best ways of increasing revenues without creating misunderstanding with private sector. Furthermore, the study assessed existing and potential sources of revenue for these LGAs. The study employed multiple methods of data collections ranging from document reviews to Key Informant Interviews. The following were the key study findings: • The structure of collection at LGAs own sources are dominated by two channels; the LGA itself and commissioned agencies. On the first channel, the LGA uses its own staff under the Municipal Director/District Executive Director (DED) with the support of Head of Departments1 and LGA staff members. On the second channel, the LGA tend to source and commission some of the revenue channels to agencies. • Revenue Collection Trend: It was observed that collections have been rising with time across the region. However, the trend varies and is inconsistency between LGAs. The study has found that there was an increasing trend on actual revenue collection for Kakonko, Kibondo and Uvinza District Councils, while there was a decreasing trend of revenue collection for Kasulu and Kigoma District Councils.
